BATILLUS + KAT KATZ “CAST” A SPELL ON ME

 Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 at 2:20pm by

I somehow missed the news that Batillus have a split 7″ with Mutilation Rites coming out next month; I thought their album Furnace, which is one my favorites of the year so far (read my review here), was all we was gettin’ from the doom crew in 2011.

But I was wrong! And gloriously so, if “Cast,” the new Batillus track streaming over at Stereogum, is any indication. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Kat Katz (ex-Salome, still Agoraphobic Nosebleed) lends some guest vocals to the song, but even if she wasn’t on it, it would still be a great example of Batillus firing on all cylinders.

Headbob here, then come back and let us know what you think. There’s also a Mutilation Rites song, “Golitath,” streaming in the same location. The split comes out July 12 on Shinebox.

    Big fan of Kat.

    Sorry to hear her split with Salome but I think she’s a great addition to AnB.

    Her voice is absolutely crazy, peels the paint of the walls.

      yeah, kat is the shit and i’m GLAD salome split. her ANb stuff is so much better, so much more worth her time.

  • Matt S

    She’s dating the singer of Batillus, so this makes a lot of sense.

  • Dave

    I bought that Batillus album purely on the MS review & fuckin’ love it. Nuff’ said.

    Good stuff. Their voices compliment each other well.
