“Catatonia”

After a 3 year hiatus from performing and recording, Salem Hill wrote and recorded their third album, 1997's “Catatonia.” Band leader Carl Groves explains, “‘Catatonia’ is a concept album depicting the internal journey of a man born without the ability to dream. To compensate, he is able to self-induce these catatonic states at will and transport himself back to his youth, as well as to fictional places where he can interact with characters from his favorite books and stories. The catch is that as he gets older-and bigger, it becomes more and more difficult to leave Catatonia. So he avoids it for the early part of his adulthood. After years of living a mundane and routine life, in bitterness he decides to enter Catatonia, knowing that he'll probably be stuck there permanently. As fate would have it, once there, he experiences his first dream!”

Propelled by such powerful songs as “Peculiar People,” “Awake,” and the 11 minute tour-de-force, “The Judgment,” Catatonia received critical acclaim and precipitated an invitation for the band to play in the 1997 ProgDay International Music Festival in Chapel Hill, NC.
