Kataan announce new self-titled EP

KATAAN have announced a new EP!

The upcoming EP, a self-titled affair from the duo comprised of Nicholas Thornbury [formerly of VATTNET VISKAR] on guitar and vocals, and Brett Boland [ASTRONOID] on drums and bass, is scheduled to be released in May this year, making their label debut with Prosthetic Records after signing to their roster.

Recorded by Brett in summer 2019, before being mastered by Magnus Lindberg, the duo have crafted a statement of intent with these four tracks and paved the way for their debut full-length release. Speaking about signing to Prosthetic, guitarist/vocalist Nicholas Thornbury says, “we are very happy to be a part of the Prosthetic roster, and feel they are the perfect label to release this music out into the world. As big fans of their past and current roster, we felt it was a natural fit.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the first song lifted from the upcoming release; Processor. Speaking about the song, Thornbury adds, Processor is a song about pushing this world and ourselves too far, and coming to terms with the simultaneous beauty and disgust, the triumph and failure that comes along with that. It’s easy to get lost in the marvel of progress, but deep down we all know that there will always be a cost.”
