Follow-up to The Devil’s Fractal, this is Avichi (not to be confused by DJ artist Avichii) sophomore album. Stereogum's Michael Nelson have listened to the album and had this to say:
"it’s clear Markuszewski’s perfectionism paid dividends: This version of Catharsis Absolute sounds richer, fuller, more enveloping than the original; the precise instrumental details and choral vocals are clearly defined in my headphones, but the urgency, power, and roar aren’t pushed to the back. Presented like this, it reminds me very much of Bathory’s “viking metal” albums at points. I don’t know what 2014 will bring, but I do know that Catharsis Absolute is a hell of a way to kick off the new year."
