THE CATALYST Part Ways With Singer; Announce Replacement
July 25, 2013, 11 years ago
Montreal, Quebec-based thrash/death band THE CATALYST have parted ways with Matt McGachy (CRYPTOPSY), and have replaced him with Jeff Linstead(ex-ABSOLVE). The split with Mcgachy was amicable, and both parties wish each other well.
Bassist Mike Marino comments: "We are very happy to have Jeff on board, his vocals are a great compliment to our sound and gives us a raw aggression with melodic sensibility which is what we were seeking."
Linstead will be wasting no time as he will be stepping into studio almost immediately to track the vocals on The Catalyst's sophomore effort due out later this fall. The album is being produced by Chris Donaldson (THE AGONIST, Cryptopsy)
The Catalyst have also announced a hometown Pre Launch show at Foufounes Electriques on August 23rd.
Other upcoming dates include:
August
20 - The Rainbow - Ottawa, ON25 - Spread The Metal Festival - Halifax, NS
September
7 - Spread The Metal festival - Toronto, ON
