Catachrest are a band from Sweden that plays a mixture of black, thrash metal and crust and this is a review of their 2026 compilation album "Target of Ruin" which consists of their 2021 demo and 2025 ep which also shows the guitars being re-recorded.
Drum beats start off the compilation along with some heavy riffing a few seconds later while the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in element s of crust. Vocals are mostly black metal screams which also mix the first and second wave together and the riffs also add in a lot of thrash metal influences.
A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 80's era while also add in the raw energy of punk rock and hardcore. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking, blast beats and the brutality of grindcore, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the whole compilation also sticks to a heavier direction.
Catechrest plays a musical style that takes black, thrash metal, grindcore, crust, punk and hardcore and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover war and post apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion Catachrest are a very great sounding mixture of black, thrash metal and crust and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Proximity Of Death" "Ruiner" and "Killing Fields". 8 out of 10.
