Catapult The Dead – “A Universal Emptiness”
Never ending supply of vinyl on our RECORD OF THE WEEK blog!
Hailing from Oakland, Ca, the 6 piece crushing tribe of doom CATAPULT THE DEAD, are teaming up with San Francisco’s DOOM STEW RECORDS for their latest full length release “A Universal Emptiness”. CATAPULT THE DEAD bring to the genre their own version of musical sorrow, despondency, and longing. This unique and haunting outfit is as beautifully devastating as it is callous and brooding. “A Universal Emptiness” is an apocalyptic journey. Sweeping synth and organ soundscapes lead you eerily, through a dark thunderous wall of sound. Get it from DOOM STEW today!
