Catacomb Records' Artists
(Artists Past and Present)
Gringo (uk)Gringo are the twisted end result of a combination of influences ranging from Iommi to Einstein, hangovers to horsepower, space cadets to space exploration; unhindered by genre cliches whilst remaining true to the heritage of Midlands heaviness. Debut album "The Cold Burn" was released in 2013 on Catacomb Records.

General (uk)"General is a band from the UK that has a huge buzz surrounding them. Aside from the fact that the legendary Billy Anderson has worked with them, this band is laying down some pretty fat Stoner Metal jams worthy of your attention. Fierce, soulful and in-your-face, these boys know how to rock and I'd say they do it rather well." - Heavy Planet. Catacomb Records released their debut album "Where Are Your Gods Now?" in 2012. General feature Tom from Thoria and Gaz from Alunah.

Alunah (uk)
West Midlands based Alunah are not part of any scene; instead they carve their own path merging elements of doom, psych and classic heavy rock with earthy hypnotic vocal melodies. Their third album "Awakening The Forest" is out now on Napalm Records, and follows "Call of Avernus" (Catacomb Records, 2010) and the critically acclaimed "White Hoarhound" (PsycheDOOMelic Records, 2012). Their Catacomb released debut will be re-released in 2015 on PRC Music.

Grifter (uk)
Grifter come across like the bastard sons of Black Sabbath jamming with AC/DC and ZZ Top. They have kicked ass across the British Isles from Devon to Yorkshire to London to Birmingham and hope to keep doing this for a long time yet as long as there are a couple of plug sockets and Guiness on tap!!!

Queen Elephantine (hk)
Queen Elephantine have been descibed as a cross between Pink Floyd and Sleep. They initially came together in Hong Kong in 2006 but a year later, guitarist Indy Shome relocated to New York. Shome brought together a new-line up consisting of Andrew Jude Riotto on bass, Chris Diaz on drums, and Rajkishen Narayanan on vocals and sounds.

Sonic Lord (uk)
Sonic Lord formed in 2000. They have been compared to the likes of Black Sabbath, Goatsnake and Electric Wizard. Rock Sound describe them as “Feeding directly off that first Sabbath album”.
