Biography
Catastrophe is an experimental rock band from Niles, IL. The band was formed in December of 2008 by Nahiyan (Viscosity, ex-Procreation), Jon (ex-Procreation, ex-Viscosity, ex-Brass Beans, ex-DIY) , Max (Aggressor, ex-Procreation, ex-Dark Spectrum), and Adam (Viscosity). They started the band as an experimental side project with no boundaries with the intention of writing materials on the fly while recording. After recording three songs (Dimension, Heading Back, and The Ghost Of Joan) the band decided to take the next step into performing live. Nahiyan decided to step aside from
rhythm guitar and concentrate more on vocals. With that set in motion, the band decided to get Paul Kondratiuk a very talented guitarist from the local metal band Viscosity to fill the rhythm guitar position. With the line up set in stone, the band is ready to take the Chicago land area by storm.
