Catacombe

Hailing from Vale de Cambra, Portugal, Catacombe began in middle 2007 when Pedro Sobast made the choice to create instrumental music and recorded/produced the EP “Memoirs” (self release/ digital release by Poison Tree Records 2008). “Memoirs” EP is the culmination of influences so diverse that in the end, it results in an astonishing fusion of post-rock and modern metal; getting great critical acclaim and stunning press reviews. In September 2008, what originally began as a solo project from Pedro Sobast, turned into Catacombe as a band, with the introduction of new musicians. Later in December 5th, Catacombe gave it’s first concert at Fábrica do Som, Porto, opening for Nadja (Can). Following the first act, Catacombe also shared stages with names so varied, like A Storm of Light (US), My Own Private Alaska (FR), Minsk (US), Men Eater (PT), Slamo (PT). At the time they also started writing new songs for the debut full-length record “Kinetic”, recorded it between January/March2010 at Soundvision Studios, engineered by Paulo Lopes and mastered in the US by James Plotkin (Isis, Khanate, Pelican, Earth); then in late 2010, Catacombe signed with the Russian label Slow Burn Records for “kinetic” Cd release, worldwide. Deepest lineup changes takes place in 2011 with the arrival of new drummer, bassist and guitar player!

Currently Catacombe are:
Pedro Sobast - Guitar
Filipe Ferreira - Guitar
Gil Cerqueira - Bass

With the debut album “Kinetic” Catacombe takes another step towards it’s own identity in the current underground music scene, showing a delightful puzzle of styles and influences.
