KATHAREIN

Elevate Records is proud to announce the signing of KATHAREIN, a heavy metal band formed in 2022 that has rapidly established itself as one of the most exciting new voices in the genre. The partnership marks a significant step in Elevate Records’ ongoing commitment to bringing powerful, uncompromising music to a global audience.

Founded by guitarist and vocalist Silviu S., Katharein quickly grew into a full lineup featuring co-founding guitarist Skozy, bassist Zorand S., and drummer Nicholas S. Together, they forged a sound rooted in classic heavy metal — blistering riffs, relentless rhythms, and commanding vocals — while injecting the raw energy that defines the genre at its best.

The band’s debut album, Lucky Shots, is a 13-track record that has already surpassed 200,000 streams across all major platforms as of March 2025. The album — coming soon — has been praised for its signature intensity, earning the band a reputation as a group that writes songs meant to be played loud and meant to last. Music videos for Signs of Warning, Ain’t Nobody, and Adler’s Alley are available online, alongside three newly released tracks: The Last of the World, Madman’s Gun, and Let Us Touch the Sky.

Katharein made their live debut at the Rock the Camp Winter Edition in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on February 18, 2025, demonstrating a stage presence every bit as forceful as their studio output. Following a busy summer in 2025, the band enters 2026 with a full tour schedule already in place, with additional dates continuing to be announced.

“Lucky Shots marks the powerful sound of Katharein’s journey — classic heavy metal roots, modern punch, and zero apologies. If you miss the days when metal bands wrote songs to be played loud and meant it, Katharein are speaking your language.”

Through the partnership with Elevate Records, Lucky Shots will be placed into the hands of heavy music lovers worldwide, backed by the label’s distribution infrastructure and promotional network. Elevate Records looks forward to supporting Katharein’s continued growth, both on record and on stage.
