Speaking of the new single, the band says; ‘Kingmaker’ is the opening track to our sophomore album, Betrayer and the 4th and final single to be released from the record.

As soon as the track was written, we knew it would become the opener for the next release – the track embodies everything we love about metal drawing huge influence from the worlds of thrash and melodic death metal, the song showcases pure aggression and speed, paired with huge, infectious melodies.

This is Catalysis at our most visceral, ‘Kingmaker’ is sure to be a live favourite.
