OCCII, Thursday, March 19 at 08:00 PM GMT+1

The band has issued the following statement;

“To our dismay, the drummer of Catharsis fractured his tibula during the snowstorm that hit the Northeastern US last week. There is not enough time for him to recover before the tour dates that Catharsis has booked in Europe, so we are reluctantly rescheduling the tour.

We will be back in touch with more details soon, and to address other issues that have come up about this tour.

Thank you very much to everyone who has helped with arranging these dates. The members of Catharsis apologize for any inconvenience this could cause. They are eager to continue playing and doing their part in our community.” – catharsis

Everybody that bought a TICKET, all INFO about REFUND soon in the MAIL!!!

CATHARSIS (Dark Hardcore, USA)
“no gods, no masters”
Anarchist hardcore band from North Carolina, playing together for over three decades. | New LP out called Hope against Hope. | Against all—for all.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Taking up arms against a wave of authoritarianism and despair, North Carolina’s premier hardcore band, Catharsis, has recorded a new full-length album, „Hope Against Hope.“

This record picks up where their last material left off, continuing to push the envelope for what hardcore can do. Catharsis don’t retread the ground they broke on their previous albums, but press forward into ever more abrasive and dynamic territory. Politically, they remain uncompromisingly radical in their lives as well as lyrics. This is not a band that has slowed down, toned down, or mellowed out.

Sticking to their roots in the do-it-yourself underground, they are releasing the album through CrimethInc. in the United States, Refuse in Europe, and No Gods No Masters in South America. The band recorded the drums with Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios and tracked the rest themselves. For the backing vocals, Catharsis tapped the vocalists of some of their favourite hardcore bands: Poland’s Next Victim, Brazil’s Point of No Return, and North Carolina’s own Scarecrow and Vittna. Mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studio and mastered by Scott Crouse, „Hope Against Hope“ is as explosive as our times.

Twenty-four years have passed since Catharsis released their last record, the split LP featuring “Arsonist’s Prayer,” though they did complete another song from that session for their discography in 2012. But they have been playing regularly together since 2013, adding Jimmy Chang (of Undying and Sect), who left the band in 1995, to the line-up that recorded the “Passion” LP. It was high time to record another album, making the most of material that has come together across two decades. In fact, Catharsis has never sounded better.

“Hope Against Hope” is an assault on a self-destructing society and a beacon of inspiration for all who are determined to survive.

SEEIN  RED
short, fast & loud.

Pure fast uncompromising DIY hardcore punk and anarcho communist socialist lyrics since ’88. No shut up and play, but a sincere voice fighting the system of capitalism. These NL cult HC pioneers don’t live in the past but take it no holds barred to the present: a sonic power A-bomb!

SEEIN' RED
Dutch Legendary hardcore punk band SEEIN RED formed in 1988 after LÄRM called it quits. We are a D.I.Y. Underground Hardcore Punk Noise Attack with cutting political protest lyrics. We are reds with anarchistic tendencies laced in. Always anti-fascist! Fast as fuck and absolutely pissed at the state of things. this is the perfect encapsulation of why punk remains relevant, both as musical genre and as a social movement.

BEZETTE STAD
Belgian hardcore band BEZETTE STAD has been releasing music for about five years now. They have a new EP “El Mundo Kaput” coming up. Their latest release expect articulate hardcore blended with D-beat, as if PAINT IT BLACK started hanging out with DISCHARGE.

KARNABAHAR
De in Nederland gevestigde band Karnabahar (Bloemkool in het Turks), met leden uit Argentinië, Turkije, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Nederland, vond elkaar in hun gedeelde liefde voor old school 90's/00's screamo en Balkan en Anatolische volksmuziek. Verwacht melancholische melodieën en chaotische ritmes.

RADICAL VITALITY
Unforgiving hysterical harsh noise sound explorations through heavy electronics. Gruesome experiments in the form of total musical destruction.

17. Total Chaoz - Oh Beatrix (1980 or '81)

Nothing just happens. Everything's the product of a whole lot of begattin'. Seein' Red came from Manliftingbanner came from Larm came from Total Chaoz came from... 5 Dutch knuckleheads in plaid and leather.

Some of the songs serve as foundation for what's to come from their progeny: righteously angry, speed high, production low. TC does renditions of "Wodka," "South Africa," and "Nothing For Us" before Larm got their hands on 'em, but they're fully Total Chaoz songs here. "Oh Beatrix" doesn't have a space in the Larm repetoire that I recall, I just love songs that dare to name names.

Link, as always, in bio.
