“Every year or so, a band will drop a debut EP that I'll just get obsessed with. Where I'm just like THIS IS THE SH*T, MAN! This is the next one of those for me.” - Kyle
Hailing from all over the world and united in Scotland, Catalyst Symphony fuse their diverse musical backgrounds together into a unique blend that's wholly theirs, combining the high-energy melodic metal of Iron Maiden, Nightwish, and Dream Theater with the vibrancy of Celtic folk, and the epic scope and tender intimacy of composers like Gustav Holst, Hiroyuki Sawano, and Nobuo Uematsu.
Catalyst Symphony inspire the listener to keep being the change they wish to see in the world, with tales of personal growth and unity in the face of societal injustice given life through the soaring operatic power of professional mezzo-soprano Wiktoria Wizner; lush strings, harp and keys courtesy of classically trained multi-instrumentalist Maya MacAdam; above a foundation of melodic riffs and guitar harmonies from Berkeley-educated guitarist and composer Chris Armstrong.
