Catastrophic

With Obituary taking a break in the early 2000's, guitarist Trevor Peres found a new band with which to continue his death metal career. Interestingly, Catastrophic is less a new band than an old one, with all of the other members coming from the New York band Pyrexia. The Cleansing features slightly downtuned, mostly mid-paced death metal, with some hardcore influences, due in part to Keith DeVito's vocals, which often are straight death metal but occasionally are slightly screamy in a hardcore style. Though not identical to Obituary, this album would probably appeal to fans of that group, and death metal fans in general. The band released an EP and a second LP in the 2000's, but disbanded some time after the 2008 release of Pathology Of Murder, with Peres and Pyrexia mainman Chris Bastile returning to their respective bands.
