About Me
Catholicon are currently working on material for the next two albums, the first entitled "Skeleton Key" and the second tentatively entitled "Heir To The Throne". We will also be doing a select few cover songs as well as a few extra bonuses to include on future splits and albums. We are also in the process of finding a new and hopefully permanent label to work with for our future releases. All labels interested in working with us get in touch no matter what. We are looking to spread our shit across this dying rock and infect as many humans as possible!!! Prepare to Worship at the Altar of The Satanic Elite!!!
Catholicon was formed on April 9'th 1994, by Blasphyre and Troy Thomas, who met while protesting the evangelist Bob Larson at Comite Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In mid 1994, the debut demo, entitled "Children of the Lost Generation ," was released and quickly spread throughout the underground. Soon a rushed second demo emerged entitled "Redemption". The new songs recorded were stronger material, showing the band begin to move into it's own unique style. This demo helped gain the band more exposure through the underground, and is now completely sold-out. In 1998, the first full-length album was released, entitled "Lost Chronicles of the War in Heaven" The record was produced and released by the band. The album received numerous positive reviews throughout the entire underground, as well as a few sharper criticisms of their "twisted musical visions". The album cover was painted by well-known Finnish artist, Juha Vuorma, who has also done work for Darkified, Fleshgrind, Whiplash, and Headfucker magazine, among others. In 1999, the band recorded what is to date their most widely accepted release, a promotional demo that quickly ran through a printing of 300 cassettes and a small batch of CD's. This demo featured a much stronger, heavier, and more aggressive performance by the band, and was very well recieved by the local scene. In 2000, the band was contacted by a small upstart British label, "Rage of Achilles", to re-release the "Lost Chronicles..... " album. The band re-recorded their three favorite old songs for the European version and also added an unreleased instrumental piece from the original album sessions. About three months after the re-issued album came out on "The Black Hand / Rage of Achilles ," Catholicon was informed that the sub-label was closing. In 2002, Catholicon recorded a 4 song promo, to shop around to labels in hopes of getting a new record deal. Offers came in but none were followed up on by either the band or the labels. None until now. Finally, the second album "The Death Throes of Christianity" is complete and OUT NOW on Negativity Records!!! Catholicon have also completed work on their third album "Treatise On The Abyss," which was recorded Dec. 2005 at Noise Farm Studios in Paige, Texas. Mixing was completed at Noise Farm Studios and then the album was mastered by James Murphy. FINALLY at the end of March 2007 the Satanic Masterpiece known as "Treatise On The Abyss" has been unleashed upon the scene!!! Prepare yourselves for the attack of the Satanic Elite!!!! Hail Satanic Victory!!!!
