He’s been described as the ‘swivel eyed polymath’.
And there are few people like him: Paul Catten, the maniac frontman from serial brilliant UK metalcore and sludge bands Medulla Nocte, Lazarus Blackstar, Murder One, and now Barrabus.
He’s got a Tazmanian devil energy on record and on stage.
And now that the new Barrabus album is out, he has some new fascinations: the kind of smalltown smut that could make it to an episode of the Jeremy Kyle show.
