Russian brutal death metal monsters KATALEPSY have unleashed a lyric video for their devastating new single “Beast of Nod”. The track sees the group continuing to pummel listeners with all of the mosh pit inducing, slam laden groove, and unrelenting, old school influenced extremity that has gained the band a legion of fans the world over.
“Beast of Nod” is the first taste of what is to come off of KATALEPSY’s follow up to their massively crushing and critically acclaimed sophomore album Gravenous Hour of which Heavy Blog is Heavy said “…the determination and hard work of this group is fucking stupendous. Not known for pulling punches or leaving the difficult stuff for special occasions, Gravenous Hour shows these musicians at their most devastating best…” with Dead Rhetoric adding “This is burly, dynamic, and surprisingly memorable death metal.”
Since their Unique Leader debut in 2012 the Russian behemoths have proven themselves time and again that they are one of the most devastating groups on the planet and with “Beast of Nod” KATALEPSY show that they will continue to bulldoze their way to the top of extreme metal pantheon.

KATALEPSY was born in 2004 in Moscow when forefathers played death metal in other bands and decided to do something new. The first demo FEMICIDE brought the first victims to the altar of brutality. KATALEPSY became stronger and began to foray outside Moscow.
In 2007 they gave birth to their debut full-length MUSICK BRINGS INJURIES and the blood was spilled in the circle pits and mosh-battles all over the Russia. The next year the band made the control shot by TRIUMPH OF EVILUTION split CD with partners in crime from Fleshrot and Blunt Force Trauma. This CD gave an opportunity to do foreign invasions. The first strike was made in Swiss, at night of Mountains of Death’08 Open Air. There were slamming incantations, ritual circle pits and brutal death. I tell you so, because I was there and saw it.
After that KATALEPSY began to make raids over Europe. Shows and festivals in Germany, Swiss, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic and Finland became battlefields of unholy beatdowns and technical grooves.
After some personal problems the masters of bonecrushing rose up to move kings of death metal on their thrones. It happened in 2010 when YOUR FEAR IS OUR INHABITANCY EP was unleashed. For making this strike deadly KATALEPSY began 3 weeks tour in Europe which left just only ashes and madness. They lost a part of line-up but their names will be hearing in Slam Heaven eternally. After that KATALEPSY inked by black blood the deal with UNEQUE LEADER REC.
And the band wanted to revenge...
Two years later five Moscow’s butchers vomited new full length monster – AUTOPSYCHOSIS! This album summoned new followers under colors of KATALEPSY. Strategy was the same: tours and single shows to sow Europsychosis and bear the words of death. That time they were not alone but in conspiracy with mighty Unique Leader REC. and it looked like mass madness and total annihilation.
Year of 2016… Time to bury you dead… Do your hear something scratching under the ground? Do you wait somebody from the other side? Do you know what will happen with you after the last heartbeat, when your blood has become cold and bones have lost the flesh? There is a time for everything – GRAVENOUS HOUR!
