Description

Raging Death / Thrash Metal

Katafalk is a Dutch death/thrash metal band, from Groningen.  Katafalk was founded in 1995 by guitarist Chris. After two demos (Through The Storm (1997) and ‘Promo 2001’, lots of gigs and line-up changes, the band managed to become pretty well known in and outside The Netherlands. Having done a series of exclusive dates with God Dethroned, the band was offered a deal by Cold Blood Industries. Katafalk’s debut album Storm Of The Horde came out early 2003 via CBI/Zomba/Suburban.  Their musical style is dominated by brutal blastbeats and aggressive riffing. These components are brought together in very dynamic, well structured songs that keep the listener focused. According to reviewers, elements of death, thrash, grind and black metal can be heard, so the band’s style can easily be summarised as extreme metal.
