CATWITCH

Melbourne shock metal band, CATWITCH, "…are a live theatrical act not to be missed…" (Loudmouth magazine).

In a state of mind half way between nightmare and reality, Darkness lay silent, shapeless, for it needed a new form. A form that was powerful and of pure blood, something to spread its word, something to bring mayhem to where before there was order and breed a new kind of insanity. Mother Darkness gathered up her dying embers and with these ashes she forged one purpose, split within a force of six and with a single icy breath she breathed, not life but something in-between that and death, CATWITCH was born. Together they spawned a unique fusion of gothic melodies and thundering rhythms that would shake the pillars of Heaven, destined to alter the perception of musical Entertainment forever. Like a vicious storm CATWITCH rain down thrilling crowds with their "…brutish songs and powerfully visual stage show…"(Loudmouth)

With "…The searing, screeching tonsil torment emanating from lead singer Kieran O'Reilly bares not merely anguish and aggression but a possessed intensity…"(Massive) "…Their dark and brooding music holds a weird fascination and when singer Kieran really sings it's sweet and involving - then harshly torn apart by his screeching…"(Loudmouth) Also the spine tingling bass of Quaagar X, haunting keyboard melodies of Rudi Paoletti, the ear rupturing guitar assaults of Josef Stanley & Riley Strong and "…the pummeling drumbeat of Rob Charlton you have an impressive gothic metal band emerging…" (Massive)

. "…Onstage CATWITCH are well noted for their hellish theatrical visions and raw atmospheric power…"(Massive magazine).

"…The most entertaining show seen on the live circuit in a long time…"(Loudmouth).

"…To see CATWITCH perform is to see a band that goes to no end of effort to put on an awesome stage show…"(Beat magazine).

With influences including the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Sepultura, Alice Cooper and My Dying Bride, CATWITCH are able to retain a distinct sound and style, which makes them stand out from the rest of the Goth/metal scene.

"…Criss-crossing Marilyn Manson and Metallica territory, CATWITCH provide a furious gothic metal vision…"(Massive).

"…The flow of music flooding your ears, is like the nourishment a babe would get from the blood in the womb…"(Rabelias).

Of course I don't have the visual side, but what I hear, sounds very interesting (did ever anybody tell you that you have some similarities to the Bronx Casket Co. here and there?) and a nice scream in "Scarecrow" there! :)
