Catharia have put Desolation's Harvest online, the first piece of Portrait of Antiquity, which the band has announced for this month.
It will be the third full length from the Indianapolis four piece, after Midnight Sun in 2022 and Unimaginable Dreams of Fate, which arrived on 6 December 2024 through Extreme Metal Music, the Rockshots Records subsidiary. No date inside November has been given for the new one yet, and no tracklist either.
The band came together in 2018 and the line-up has thinned this year: the bassist Dylan Thompson and the singer Nick Kiefer both came off it in 2026, leaving the guitarist Matt Powell and Michael Edrington, who has been behind the drums since 2023.
Desolation's Harvest is the only thing off the record out so far. With the release set for this month, the wait for the rest of it is measured in weeks rather than seasons, which is not how these announcements usually go.
