Catharsis in Berlin, September 1

Catharsis is playing at Köpi in Berlin on September 1! From the Facebook event:

Refuse Records // KØPI-AGH presents:
CATHARSIS (North Carolina, USA) – the only show in Germany!
Two decades ago, before the music industry began to colonize it, the do-it-yourself underground was a space of exodus and experimentation, often in violent opposition to the rest of the world. This was the context in which Catharsis appeared, one of a new wave of bands to meld metal drama with the raw urgency of hardcore punk. They quickly distinguished themselves by an almost self-destructive intensity and uncompromising anticapitalist ethic. Inverting Christian iconography to champion the struggle of the individual against a hostile cosmos, they took up the centuries-old banner No Gods, No Masters, extending this project of total defiance into their increasingly tumultuous lives. This apocalyptic orientation in turn informed their music, as they sought to hit upon the magic combination of words, harmonies, and rhythms that could spark a global conflagration.
Their discography “Light from a dead star I.” and “Light from a dead star II.” is out on Refuse Records and Crimethinc.

I KNOW (Minsk, Belarus)
Political female-fronted HC/Punk from Belarus. I KNOW was formed in year 2005 as anarchist punk collective. Since that they played lots of shows in eastern and western europe. The line up was changed several times, but still they’re the same collective with the same ideas and words to spread – supporting anarchist ideas, antifascist movement and global DIY scene. Their new LP out now on Up The Punx, Angry Voice, Deviance Records and more.

Catharsis, Blitz, August 29th

blitz

Catharsis is playing Blitz in Oslo, Norway with Kollwitz (Facebook and Twitter) and Je Suis Mort, August 29th.

Here’s what the Blitz Booking has to say about it on Facebook:

CATHARSIS!
Bandet som har fått veggene på gamle Blitz til å renne av svette planlegger i disse dager en europaturne, og legger turen til Blitz fredag 29.august!! For de uinnvidde: Catharsis var svært aktive fra starten i 1994 frem til 2002, og har hatt en enorm innflytelse på DIY/hardcorescena verden over. Dette er sinnsykt heftig hardcore epicness fra sinnsykt bra folk som har skjønt at scena er vår og den er hva vi gjør den til – det kommer til å renne svette fra veggene på Blitz igjen!

KOLLWITZ
Norske Kollwitz er mørkt som en vinternatt og seigt som kvae, vakkert mollstemt og drivende intenst – dette er metall uten å være metall, hardcore uten å være hardcore. Dette er rett og slett en fullblodsoppvarmer for kvelden!

JE SUIS MORT
Je Suis Mort, med folk fra This Thing Called Dying, Hombre Malo og Sons of Saturn er de siste på plakaten – dette er kickass groovey hardcore with some kind of loose twist – ryktet sier at de gleder seg noe forferdelig og kommer til å gi alt hva reimer og tøy kan holde for å gjøre dere varme og fornøyde!

80 kr. i døra
