If ever there was a band who didn’t get the success they deserved during the 90’s alternative boom, it’s Catherine Wheel. Bands including Death Cab for Cutie and Interpol have called Catherine Wheel a major influence, and deservedly so.
Haunting, atmospheric and really quite beautiful…this week’s WAV is Black Metallic, the song they’re perhaps best known for from their first CD “Ferment”…which will be re-released next month (March 23rd), containing bonus tracks and extensive sleeve notes. Enjoy Abysmally…

they were a pretty cool band. the singer is Bruce Dickinson’s cousin and were the only reason I gave them a listen back then.
Great to hear from you, Sean! I was always amused by the bloodline there…especially since both the iron maiden and the catherine wheel are medieval torture devices. Cheers to you brother!
