Press Reviews We have many reviews up at our website. Reviewed by Metal Maniacs, Metal Core, Arrows of Malice, Eternal Frost, Death by Metal, Encomium, Grendel, Night Ritual, etc. Excerpts: "Catholicon is one of the greatest black metal bands of all time. Redemption is such a masterpiece of arrangement, musicianship, lyrical craftmanship and rabid views on Christianity that it should go down as a landmark album for the genre. Tired of the pretenders to the crown? Catholicon's brand of true black metal overshadows trendy newcomers." -Eternal Frost "Catholicon didn't go for the "playing-through-a-blanket-of-sewage" ultra-scary evil rawness, but rather captured the perfect sound for their brand of mayhem, definitely not polished, but audible. Bands who can demonstrate this level of frenzy and conviction are a rarity...Slayer, Kreator, and Darkthrone are a few that come to mind. Now Catholicon can be added to that list. This band is that good...I will be greatly disappointed if they don't ascend to the metal godhead they deserve." - Grendel There are so few albums that I have come across in my entire life, which have had an incredibly profound effect on me. Some of them are Slayer's "Reign in Blood" (my first metal album ever), Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the NorthernSky", and... See what I mean? These albums are special because they have changed the way I perceive music and actually made me feel something. I can now add one more album to these, and that is Louisiana's Catholicon's "Lost Chronicles of the War in Heaven." -Arrows of Malice
