Reviews

Martin from Meltdown Magazine UK wrote: "Catharsis is one of the best demos out there at the moment, and that’s saying a lot as there have been quite a few quality bands brought to my attention of late."

Riccardo "Fax" Fassone from Scream magazine Italy wrote: "The Danish combo avoids to fall into the self-celebration or in the prolixness that are typical of this genre, making their tracks very fresh and catchy, without any coarse temptation. They have learned perfectly the tradition of classic metal that wants the tracks very simple, direct and without those details intended to cover eventual lacks in songwriting. Here, luckily, the songwriting is of high quality and it is even much more mature than one could expect from a band that realizes a demo."

Thomas Opazo from The Gates of Hell webzine wrote: "The most amazing thing is, this release is not a bad one at all for a signed band, and yet Fairytale Abuse is just a demo band. The talent they posses, coupled with the surprisingly good crisp production, tend to cause the listener to forget that Catharsis is just a demo. In fact, I haven't seen such an outburst of originality and talent since Cryptopsy's demo, Ungentle Exhumation, and I've simply never heard such a great production on a demo."

Randy from American Roaar Magazine wrote: "Fairytale Abuse is the band to be bestowed the "Why The Fuck Is This Band Not Signed" Award!! Four songs on a CD that could rip the head off 95% of the rubbish that gets thrown to us as "Major Talent" by the big labels"...."This band deserves to be heard!!"

And this was just a few of many reviews......
