Biography

We Are The Catalyst was formed in Varberg, Sweden, by Cat Fey and Kenny B in November of 2012.

Over the last 18 months We Are The Catalyst are fast establishing themselves as one of Europes most exciting musical talents. Their initial EP, Panem Et Circenses, was released to critical and fan acclaim alike and saw the bands first two videos aired in over 20 countries. Additionally a number of tracks from both the EP and the new album have found their way on to numerous soundtracks for movies due for release later this year and through 2015.

After several years of touring and releasing albums as members of the Swedish Modern Metal act One Without, (Who amongst other things toured with bands like Dead By April, Katatonia and Evergrey, was signed to Lifeforce Records and released two albums) both Kenny and Cat felt the need to do something different from what they had previously done both musically and ideologically.
The band released their first EP; "Panem Et Circenses" on May 2nd 2013.

In November of 2013 WATC partnered with director Grzegorz Jonkajtys, 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, and made the extraordinary video for the single "Tomorrow".

2014 has so far seen the band finishing their debut album "Monuments", set for release on October 1st, as well as releasing the amazing video for "Being Number One", directed by Stephan Zlotescu, drawing attention to 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 the video the topic is taken to the next level.

We Are The Catalyst was based around the idea that if you want something to change, you have to start that change by yourself, and within yourself, hence changing the world in the long run.
