History
Katarsis started as a solo project of Lukas Radzevičius. While still in school, in 2019 Radzevičius began composing and releasing his own music. After receiving invitations to perform at concerts, he realized that he could not deliver live performances alone and subsequently formed a band with the same name.[5][6]
In 2024, they released their debut EP, Dausos.[7]
