Autocatalytia: Bubbling cauldron of scatter-brained prog-metal insanity…..

Autocatalytia is probably for fans of Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Protest The Hero, Dillinger Escape Plan and their latest release is the album Powerclashig Maximalism out October 16^th. Autocatalytica is a bubbling cauldron of scatter-brained prog-metal insanity helmed by guitarist/vocalist Eric Thorfinnson. No Clean Singing states, «Autocatalytica aren’t alone in bringing in so many outsides elements into a mathcore-focused sound, they are definitely one of the most ambitious and grandest groups I’ve heard do so to date».

Psychedelic variegated groovy maniacal ethereality is summed up by Thorfinnson in his own words: «Powerclashing Maximalism’ is an expression of the many different facets of progressive and heavy music I am engaging at this point in my life, with little to no regard for thematic consistency between tracks. Each song is a fully realized Island of uniqueness that expresses something totally different from the previous one».

The single Zippler is a mix, pretty much right down the middle of Protest The Hero and the Mars Volta, it’s zippy, groovy, and it has got some chaos thrown in for good measure, written about the illusion of free will. It was a last-minute addition to the rehearsals and decided upon due to the need for something super fast to fill out the record. It features clean vocals from Parliament Owl’s and Telomere’s Devlin Flynn and screams from Plethora’s Gary Walsh.

Autocatalytia was formed as a solo project in 2009, as an expressive outlet for Thorfinnson’s abstract angst and penchant for everything over the top. Thorfinnson has always drawn inspiration from a vast collage of different artists resulting in a sound that is sure to surprise and intrigue listeners of all persuasions.

The LP Powerclashing Maximalism is the band third and it explores all corners of Autocatalytica’s sound in a tight 36-minute runtime over eight tracks, from the Meshuggah-esque stomp of Borndun to the Jazzy Math Rock of Cheggo. While at this time Autocatalytica exists solely as a recording project, no one knows what the future holds!
