Untethered Abyss

fyeahmetal This is a blend of modern dissonant DM with a solid foundation of old-school brutality. Most DM bands skew one way or another on this spectrum, but Cathexis sits perfectly in the middle. You get deliciously mordant chords on the high end and chunky half-time riffing on the low end. It's satisfying to get one's nerd on without sacrificing any windmill hair quotient. I'm already looking forward to more from this band. Favorite track: Library of Babel.

Blxculx This is brutality. Sharper than hype your junkie dad shoots up with, tighter than your mom's bearded clam, and harder than the Iron Giant after booty bumping 15 Viagra. Strap yourself in, motherfucker, and get ready to go on a ride. This is what metal should be. All the time. Favorite track: Red Hook.

Dan Curhan Technical, razor-sharp, badass dissodeath - the songwriting is labyrinthine but completely enrapturing, never content to rest on its inscrutable laurels, choosing instead to push the musical envelope just a bit further with each track. When the riffs hit, they hit hard. The whole band embraces groove and foul, stompy swagger, as the audience’s collective upper lip curls a bit in disgust and heads start to nod. This is good shit, dragged from the fetid sewers and brought to fester in the sun.

about

Cathexis has partnered with Willowtip Records to present Untethered Abyss; The culmination of 6 years of painstaking songwriting and a carefully selected cast of international talent amassed to bring forward a finely tuned and unrelenting piece of modern death metal.

Untethered Abyss is eight tracks of tightly focused death metal with production which captures the humanity and unfiltered energy each musician displays in every performance. The band’s focus on holistic songwriting seeks to create naturally flowing and memorable tracks where every riff’s place within the song is carefully considered to maintain internal consistency and create meaningful arcs within the music rather than meander through detached ideas.

Cathexis strives to make unique and forward thinking death metal that pays tribute to the genres basest and most satisfying elements.
