‘Catharsis’ marks the first album that DeadSquad will release with new vocalist Augustinus Widi, who replaced longtime frontman Daniel Mardhany in August last year. In October, the band shared their new track from the album, ‘Curse Of The Black Plague’.

DeadSquad have most recently collaborated with Indonesian singer-songwriter Isyana Sarasvati on a heavy version of the latter’s track, ‘Il Sogno’. The rework, which blended DeadSquad’s extreme brand of metal with Sarasvati’s operatic arrangement, received a chilling music video in late January.

In July, the band shared a new single, ‘Paranoid Skizoid’, said to have been the first taste of a new album titled ‘Omeg4litikum’.






The tracklist for DeadSquad’s album ‘Catharsis’ is:

  1. ‘Down With The Faceless’
  2. ’21 Vultures’ featuring Vogg
  3. ‘Augmented Devastation’
  4. ‘Slave To The God Of Agony’
  5. ‘The Black Triangle’
  6. ‘Funeral Carnival’
  7. ‘Catharsis’
  8. ‘Murder’ featuring Eet Sjahranie
  9. ‘Curse Of The Black Plague’
