Editor's note

Katra's progressive metal blends heavy guitars with melody

A Finnish progressive metal band known for complex arrangements and atmospheric tracks since the late 1990s.

For a quick sense of their range, try 'Hide And Seek' from the debut and 'The End of the Scene' from later work. Both show how they balance heavy guitar work with melodic elements.

Katra's sound has held steady through lineup changes and shifting trends in metal. Songs like 'Scars In My Heart' from their 1997 debut 'Beast Within' established their mix of aggression and melody, while later tracks like 'The End of the Scene' show their atmospheric side. They've kept releasing albums into the 2010s, most recently with 'Return to Ashes' in 2019.

They formed in the late 1990s and put out 'Beast Within' in 1997. The 2002 album 'De Rerum Natura' leaned further into complex arrangements, and they kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s. Their 2019 album 'Return to Ashes' includes the track 'Luominen'.
