Comments by the band:
“We’ve been playing the songs on this album live since we started and - except for “Paradise Lost” - all these songs where written before our singer Larz joined the band and Catharsis became our official band name. Thus we called this album ‘MVIII B.C.’ which simply translates to “Made Before Catharsis”. The song “Paradise Lost” is a little taste of what our next full album ‘Ithnayn’ will sound like. For tis second EP, we decided to record a bunch of songs they have been playing live since the beginning. Spearheaded by a new one "Paradise lost', this EP shows the band's unique versatile style, always rooted in, but not limited to old school death metal. We are delighted to have been able to deliver this album from the capable hands of Gio Smet who made our ‘musick’ sound killer!”
