“I feel like metal could really infiltrate the mainstream with this album. And it needs to… now more than ever. A lot of consideration went into making these songs more identifiable to a wider audience. Simplifying ideas, simplifying hooks, really concentrating on story-telling as opposed to ‘brutal poetry’ or whatever. And while I’d love to say it was all some grand plan, there was no ‘plan’” erklärt Flynn lachend. “You never know where you’re going to end up whenever you start writing a record… you just write… but I tell ya what… we ended up with a landmark here. Whenever you finish an album, you always feel proud, but this time… we’ve got something really special. We can feel it. We know it. »Catharsis« could really elevate our genre.”
Produziert wurde Catharsis von Robb Flynn und von Zack Ohren (Fallujah, All Shall Perish) in den Sharkbite Studios im kalifornischen Oakland aufgenommen, gemischt und koproduziert. Das Mastering erledigte Ted Jensen (Hatebreed, Alice In Chains, Deftones) im Sterling Sound in New York, NY. Das Cover-Foto kommt von Seanen Middleton.
