Katara

Full album courtesy of Aeonian Sorrow

In the Pindus mountains of northern Greece there is a pass called Katara. According to the legend, “Katara got its name from a despot who around 1800 set out from Ioannina to go to Trikala city, but the bad weather in the area made it so difficult for him that he died on the way and he cursed the mountain”.

The album has 7 songs….all of them are very heart felt and full of sorrow. The album is dedicated to Gogo Melone‘s (female vocalist & primary songwriter) grandparents

From Gogo

On a personal level, I’ve been through enough difficult changes in my life that it almost made it impossible to keep myself motivated to complete this album. I said several times that I don’t want to do this and I almost didn’t. What kept me going was the reason I started this band and the promise I gave to the grandmother I lost back in 2020 and said that the Katara album will be recorded in her memory and her husband’s memory too. It will be done for all the years I spent driving to those scary “Katara” roads to go see them. It will be done for each song I wrote inside their empty house when they were gone, and I was left to watch the walls and nothing more.

This band is new to me, but I definitely like the singles they have released for the upcoming album. This is not your usual, every day grungy, pop, alternative rock. It’s rather heavy! Judge for yourself:
