Catharsis - Hope Against Hope

 

Genre: Hardcore/Crust
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2025

1. Nocturne
2. Power
3. Gone To Croatan
4. Eremocene
5. Embers
6. We Live
7. Last Words

3rd album by Catharsis, 26 years after their last one. The album isn’t a whole new sound for Catharsis. It’s still their tasteful blend of crust and hardcore, but I think these songs lean a little more hardcore sounding than the older records. There are tempo changes in the right places, softer parts, build ups, anthemic fast parts, blasts and tasteful leads.
