CATALYST by Hostilian
The EP Catalyst is a study of the human condition. It's about how, deep down, we're actually like a virus, eating away the earth, even the other people and ourselves. All the good in people is just a face to show the world. There is a constant darkness in us just waiting for an opportunity to come out. This darkness is our most basic human instinct. Raping, killing, greed is all just a manifestation of what we really are deep inside. Each song talks about various aspects of this primary proclivity inside us. Everything we work for everyday is a lie. We are not meant for great things. We are only meant to end all cycles of life. A hard reboot to all life on Earth. We are a catalyst to the process that had begun long before we even stepped into this world.
“What a great pleasure we have to premiere HOSTILIAN’s lyric video “Regressive Instincts”, for Europe! Check it out, these guys are delivering deep stuff!” - Metal Shock Finland
" “Regressive Instincts” is heavy-grooved and head-hammering, channeling the kind of savagery that’s eminently head-nodding as well as brain-swirling, but Hostlian embellish this groove-metal fireball with plenty of fret-leaping leads and rapid riff changes, as well as an eerie and moody interlude, before they spin up the guitar pyrotechnics again in a way that gives the music a prog-metal extravagance — and you’ll get a good chance to wreck your neck at the very end of the song, too." - No Clean Singing (USA)
