Se olharmos com um pouco de atenção para o cenário metálico português, torna-se por demais evidente que, ao longo destes últimos anos, o número de bandas/projectos aumentou consideravelmente e que gozam de alguma exposição, pelo menos a nível interno com os regulares concertos que são organizados e a facilidade de gravação que hoje existe; por outro lado, dessa miríade de bandas, nota-se uma significativa ausência de trabalhos que se enquadrem na esfera em que se movimentam estes Catacombe: Post Rock/Metal. Polémicas e discussões à parte, o facto é que a década que findou ficou marcada indelevelmente por este tipo de sonoridade, muito por culpa (no bom sentido, está claro!) de nomes como Isis, Pelican, Neurosis, Explosions In The Sky ou Mono, antes de atingir um ponto que se aproxima muito rapidamente da saturação e onde, no futuro, somente a qualidade prevalecerá ou então quem soube trilhar a pulso o seu caminho.
Os nortenhos Catacombe, serão um dos poucos exemplos portugueses a enveredar por este tipo de sons, e após o lançamento do seu registo de estreia, o EP "Memoirs", em 2008, causaram algum burburinho, não só pela qualidade dos seus temas, mas também pela partilha de palco com nomes como os Minsk ou os Nadja; efeito sintomático, portanto.
O que, inicialmente, era um projecto a solo de Pedro Sobast, rapidamente evoluiu para o formato banda e é esse mesmo formato que apresenta hoje "Kinetic" (apesar de tudo estar sob a batuta de Sobast), o seu primeiro longa-duração, composto por sete temas que mais não são do que um desfiar de emoções, uma pintura sobre uma tela nua, que nos vai transportando por diferentes ambientes, cada um com a sua cor, ora mais doce e cândido, ora mais agreste. No fundo, o que aqui temos é o passo seguinte à estreia, só que recheado de temas com muito boa qualidade; novidades a nível musical aqui não abundam, mas nem sempre os bons discos se demarcam dos demais pela originalidade, mas sim por que são... bons! As influências continuam lá, mais ou menos esbatidas, consoante a obra de arte vai ganhando forma, sob a paleta de comando de seis cores nas mãos de Sobast. "Anna-Liisa", "Cavalgada Épica" ou "Mockba" serão as melhores pinceladas neste quadro belo, abstracto, mas onde as emoções são quase palpáveis. (16/20)

If we look with a little attention to the Portuguese metal scene, it becomes obvious that, over recent years, the number of bands/projects has increased dramatically and that have a certain exposure, at least at home with regular concerts that are organized and ease of recording that exists today, on the other hand, this myriad of bands, there is a significant lack of works that fall within the sphere in which they move Catacombe: Post Rock/Metal. Discussions and polemics aside, the fact is that the decade just ended was indelibly marked by this kind of sound, much to blame (in a good way, of course!) names like Isis, Pelican, Neurosis, Explosions In The Sky or Mono before reaching a point rapidly approaching saturation, and where, in future, only quality will prevail or else who knew the pulse walk your way.
The northerners Catacombe will be one of the few portuguese examples to embark on this kind of sounds, and after the release of their debut recording, the EP "Memoirs" in 2008, caused some buzz, not only by the quality of his songs, but also by sharing the stage with names like Minsk or Nadja; symptomatic effect, therefore.
What initially was a solo project of Peter Sobast, quickly evolved into the band format and this is the same format that presents today "Kinetic" (after all be under the baton of Sobast), his first long-duration, composed by seven themes that are no more than a shred of emotion, a painting on a canvas bare, we will by carrying different environments, each with its color, sometimes more sweet and innocent, sometimes more harsh. Basically, what we have here is the step following the premiere, filled with themes that only with very good quality; news on music here not plentiful, but not always the good disks to demarcate the other for originality, but because they are ... good! The influences are still there, more or less blurred, depending on the artwork takes shape, under the command palette of six colors in the hands of Sobast. "Anna-Liisa", "Epic Ride" or "Mockba" will be the best strokes in this beautiful picture, abstract, but when emotions are almost palpable. (16/20)
