Art as Catharsis, We Lost the Sea release Chris Torpy tribute compilation

Sydney label Art as Catharsis and post-metal act We Lost the Sea have released a compilation of songs from the likes of Totally Unicorn and Hope Drone to honour We Lost the Sea vocalist Chris Torpy, who sadly took his own life in March 2013.

Comprised of 32 tracks from a wide variety of local bands - including sleepmakeswaves, Idylls, Solkyri and Adrift for Days - 100% of the album's proceeds will be donated to charity beyondblue, who provide support for people who suffer any form of depression and anxiety, empowering all Australians, at any life-stage, to seek help. 

"Not a day goes by that we all don't think about him," says We Lost the Sea drummer Nathaniel D'Ugo. "To pay tribute to Chris we could think of no better way than to get together a bunch of bands full of people that he loved and who loved him."
