* The teutonic monster duo that is Beehoover has risen again.
* Beehoover 2010 manage to push their ridiculously powerful vehicle in a different direction without losing grip. It is still there - the Beehoover sound that you recognise: bass and drums and nothing else. The capture/release rhythms, the call & response between the two members and good gawwwd, those riffs.
* Concrete Catalyst now sees the band elaborating their songwriting into unexpected finesse. Touching prog-ladden
textures creating distinct walls of sound, Concrete Catalyst is a monolith that is so much more than a collection of songs.
* Recorded and mixed by the band in their own rehearsal room/ studio in less than 30 hours.
* The artwork this time is delivered by the Belgian sculptor/carver/ freeform artist Wim Delvoye (www.wimdelvoye), who became famous through his tattooed pigs and his invention and installation of "Cloaka", the "poo machine"; a fully functioning machine that simulates the human digestion process.
* Wim Delvoye kindly gave permission to use pictures of his laser-cut steel worked sculptures: figuring cement trucks and caterpillars in a cathedral-like way.
* Released on CD and 180g black LP.
* FOR FANS OF: Deftones, Clutch, Melvins, Celan, End Of Level Boss
