Catacombe (PT) On The Road!

Catacombe this week will be on the road with 3 gigs!

As usual, Catacombe's schedule is filled with gigs, the next is already today in Braga with TIDES FROM NEBULA (PL) in the CC Braga Viva, tomorrow will be again with the Poles on Side B, Benavente and Friday, 02  in BlackBox, Centro da Juventude, Caldas Da Rainha

Hailing from Vale de Cambra, Portugal, Catacombe began in middle 2007 when Pedro Sobast made the choice to create instrumental music and recorded/produced the EP “Memoirs” (self release/ digital release by Poison Tree Records 2008). “Memoirs” EP is the culmination of influences so diverse that in the end, it results in an astonishing fusion of post-rock and modern metal; getting great critical acclaim and stunning press reviews. In September 2008, what originally began as a solo project from Pedro Sobast, turned into Catacombe as a band, with the introduction of new musicians, Sérgio Soares –Bass, Eduardo Costa – Guitar; Paulo Kwane – Drums and Cristiano Moreira - Keyboards/samples. Later in December 5th, Catacombe gave it’s first concert at Fábrica do Som, Porto, opening for Nadja (Can). Following the first act, Catacombe also shared stages with names so varied, like A Storm of Light (US), My Own Private Alaska (FR), Minsk (US), Men Eater (PT) and Slamo (PT). At the time they also started writing new songs for the debut full-length record “Kinetic”, recorded it between January/March2010 at Soundvision Studios, engineered by Paulo Lopes and mastered in the US by James Plotkin (Isis, Khanate, Pelican, Earth); then in late 2010, Catacombe signed with the Russian label Slow Burn Records for “kinetic” Cd release, worldwide. Deepest lineup changes takes place in 2011 with the arrival of Gil Cerqueira (bass), Mauricio Medon (drums) and Filipe Ferreira (guitar). With the debut album “Kinetic” Catacombe find it’s own identity in the current underground music scene, showing a delightful puzzle of styles and influences.

TIDES FROM NEBULA + CATACOMBE | 30 NOVEMBER 2011 | BRAGA | CC BRAGA VIVA

EARTHSHINE TOUR 2011
30 NOVEMBER 2011 | PT | BRAGA | CC BRAGA VIVA | 22:00 | 5€
TIDES FROM NEBULA | Poland | www.myspace.com/tidesfromnebula
CATACOMBE  | Portugal | www.myspace.com/catacombeband

TIDES FROM NEBULA play completely instrumental music that nods its head to a variety of similarly voiceless influences. Taking slow melodies and building them into a crescendo of distorted riffs the band still manage to inject some original elements into the mix, allowing the bass to shine and taking the heavier parts to the next level whilst still leaving a pathway back to beauty and space. The new release "Earthshine" is the perfect post-night-out album in that it is the aural equivalent of lying, alone on an inflatable dingy in the midst of a vast, tranquil ocean.

CATACOMBE are like a delightful puzzle of styles and influences, an astonishing fusion of modern metal and post-rock. It has all of the telltale marks of non-stop, static crescendos, followed by eclipses of echoey melancholy broken down into proto-jazz-fusion riffs. The polish troupe returns exactly one year after their first appearence in portuguese soil and the fellow portugueses return to stages for a new and reinvigorated incarnation.
