The band utilizes many different style influences to highlight the music, unique time signatures is always working to bring it out the music in new creative and more challenging ways.

MEMBERS
Amber - Vocals / Keyboards / Cello

Amber brings a hauntingly melodic voice to the music. She gives the keyboards rich tones and dimension which encompass the emotional moods of the various songs, and an occasional cello to thicken the rhythms or give a dynamic interaction with the other instruments. Amber has played and explored music compositions off and on since childhood and is now is a primary composer for many of the songs played by Katalyst of Disaster.

Eric - Cello / Vocals

Eric gives the music a symphonic touch through the rich song of the stringed instruments. It adds both a delicate beauty and intensity to the overall emotion of the music. Eric has played cello since highschool, is the owner of Cremme Music Studio's, and teaches cello, violin, and viola from the studio. He is the lead cellist for the West Valley Symphony and played previously with the rock band Creaturehouse.

Viola or Violin Player Wanted
Brett - Bass Guitar

Brett is the backbone and foundation of the music, giving strong support through heavy and driving rhythms. The thick resonate sound escaltes the intentsity of the music. Brett is a founding member of the band, composing several of the bands songs. He has played bass since the 1990's in the bands Eidolon & Drooling Dogs before founding Katalyst of Disaster.

Rick - Percussion / Vocals

Rick is the pulse of the band, giving a powerful foundation of driving drumbeats and rhythnmic accentuations to the music. His vocals give a more aggressive overtone as the mood calls for it. Rick has been playing music since gradeschool and has a strong background in many different styles of music.

Katalyst of Disaster is the hybrid where Metal, Progressive, Classical, Gothic, and anything else we feel so inclined to tamper with come together in a melodic metal mix.
