Interview With Cade Of Symphonic Metal Project "Valcata"

Initially beginning as a symphonic/power metal band based in Dublin, Ireland, VALCATA now operates as a symphonic project led by Cade, who is now based in New York. The name VALCATA is a combination of ‘falcata’ (a type of ancient weapon) and Valhalla. 2019 saw the project’s self-titled debut full-length unleashed, followed by the single “Tower” in early 2021. Now in 2022, “Paralyzed” showcases VALCATA’s thriving collaborations and evolving compositions. Dark thundering rhythms burst into life accompanied by a delicate piano and eerie orchestration. Stefani Keogh’s cleans soar above the metal instrumentation while Marcos L. Peñate’s demonic harsh vocals bring a menacing impact.

From entwining melodies and soaring leads to dynamic percussion and technical elements, VALCATA offer a thrilling experience of symphonic metal. “Paralyzed” is an enchanting addition to their spellbinding discography.

The ethereal symphonic metal project VALCATA return with their powerful new single “Paralyzed” On December 2. Bringing together an array of talented musicians from across the globe, VALCATA manifest an immense and enthralling sound.

“This song is about how being a musician can sometimes be torturous and depressing, because there’s a climb to success that seems so insurmountable,” says composer Oha Cade.

It was a great pleasure to have Cade on the Interview to talk on Paralyzed and much more. Check out the below Interview.
