The project is the brainchild of the musician known as Slaytanic Speedball Possessor, a veteran of the extreme scene with roots in projects like Animalesco, o Método and Rancid Amputation. Designed to capture the raw, unfiltered intensity of the 1983–1988 period, the record serves as a visceral no-masks tribute that prioritizes blistering speed and classic aggressive dynamics.\nTo achieve the specific vocal grit necessary for this sonic aesthetic, the project recruited Lex Thunder, known for his work in Toxikull and Midnight Priest, whose performance on the album draws direct and favorable comparisons to the classic timbre of Tom Araya. The recording process also featured the expertise of Paulo Vieira from the Portuguese thrash band Perpetratör, who not only contributed rhythm guitars and bass but also handled the mixing and mastering at Darkhammer Studios. The resulting eight tracks, including the title track Catatonic Symphony and the closing assault Unsolved War, deliver a modern production that remains fiercely loyal to its old-school roots. Complemented by the retro-inspired visual identity provided by Belial Necro Arts and noise.andllies, the album stands as a definitive statement of traditional thrash metal within the current Portuguese underground scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selvajaria Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53492158431572,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7718\/7156\/files\/raging-fotor-2026052222023.png?v=1779412857","url":"https:\/\/prophetical-productions.com\/pt\/products\/raging-slayer-catatonic-symphony-cd","provider":"Prophetical Productions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
