From the dust-choked depths of the LA basin emerges Cattlemass, a doom metal trio with a vision as stark and unrelenting as the concrete sprawl that birthed it. Fronted by Chris Price (vocals/guitar), with Wes Styles (bass) and Kyle Abbott (drums), they deliver hellish riffs, dystopian themes and analog grit in a futuristic take on classic doom.
Rooted in the raw spirit of the early ’70s, they lean into DIY ethics; screen-printed merch, pavement promo and self-produced music videos that echo their sonic brutality. Their sound is thick with distortion and alienation, paired with lucite instruments and visceral lyrical imagery.
This year alone, they’ve brought their oppressive live set to legendary stages, supporting Pentagram, EyeHateGod and Anciients.
Their debut single »Infecticide«, featured on Weedian’s »Trip to California: Doom Edition«, was followed by »Replicant«, a dystopian crusher released with artwork by visual artist Tyler Pennington.
Their first full-length »Alpha 1128«, out October 24 on Seeing Red Records, is an otherworldly lament – heavy, haunted, and hewn from the ruins of tomorrow. A concept album chronicling the rise and fall of humanity through the lens of an inter-dimensional observer. Each track is a self-contained vision of destruction and mythology – from the tale of a cosmonaut infected by an alien entity, to villagers offering sacrifices to an ancient cannibal wizard.
»Alpha 1128« is not just a debut – it’s a statement: analog doom for a digital apocalypse.
