After several years of touring and releasing albums as members of the Swedish Modern Metal act One Without and having supported such acts as Dead By April, Katatonia and Evergrey, WATC’s core members Kenny and Cat know exactly how to draw on experiences both on an off the road.

When asked about the new album, Cat Fey, Lead Singer of the band said '"Monuments" summarises the last few years of our lives, a journey that has taken us through many phases, from self-doubt and uncertainty to empowerment and determination.”

"From struggling with deep depression, the continuous fight for air in the music industry, leaving our former band and watching the world grow darker around us every day, to the joy of raising a child, turning our backs on the norms of society, finding light in the dark, and becoming more inspired and creative than ever before." the enigmatic vocalist adds.

Much as it´s amazing cover art by Gustavo Sazes (http://www.abstrata.net - Arch Enemy, Amaranthe, Kamelot, Sonic Syndicate amongst others), "Monuments" has an ominous sound to it, paired with an unmistakeable sense of hope. It’s an album with a definite message.

When asked for his feeling about the latest offering from WATC, Kenny Boufadene, Guitarist and co-vocalist from the band said "Monuments" is about personal change, questioning norms, finding your way back from the darkest holes, and coming a bit closer to living the way you want to live, and not the way you´re supposed to live."

We Are The Catalyst are also excited to announce they will be signing a deal with Chris Bianchi of Mercenary Management and CB Entertainment with more details to follow later this month.

The new album is available to pre-order from http://watcofficial.bandcamp.com  and a preview is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y4dMihjkRk

The band plan to tour extensively later this and early next year in support of the new album.

"Being Number One" new music video to be released 17th of March!

From the official press release:

“WE ARE THE CATALYST”  SEND OUT A MESSAGE WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY VIDEO FOR “BEING NUMBER ONE” TO BE RELEASED GLOBALLY ON MARCH 17^TH 2014

- PREMIERE ON BLANK TV MARCH 14^TH

Following the incredible success of We Are The Catalyst’s last video “Tomorrow” (directed by Grzegorz Jonakjtys, the extraordinary visual effects artist famous for his work on such epic movies as Transformers, Pacific Rim, Terminator Salvation, Star Trek Into Darkness and Sin City) the band from the land of the midnight sun return with “Being Number One”.

The song brings to the forefront modern societies obsession with being the biggest, the fastest and the best. Being number one challenges the need to have the newest and the latest, but in this video the topic is taken to the next level.

“Our management secured an amazing partnership with Stephan Zlotescu and we have ended up with an incredible video that really connects the lyrics and meaning of the song with some outstanding visuals” said Catrin Feymark, vocalist and co writer from WATC.

Being Number One is the final single from the bands EP “Panem Et Circenses” which was released on May 2^nd 2013 and signifies the run in to the release of the bands debut album carrying the working title of “Believe In Everything Because Everyone´s Right” due out later in the year

“The new album is really taking shape” added Kenny Boufadene. “We have the final 13 tracks selected and are half way through re recording the release ready versions. Some of the tracks have been picked up by some major movie producers and will be featured on several movies later in the year which is pretty exciting when you consider our last single has also been picked up for 4 soundtracks. Additionally our management is in talks with numerous parties for overseas shows so it’s looking like an exciting year ahead.”  

Look out for the video premiere of “Being Number One” on www.blanktv.com on March 14th 2014.
