Katedra (band)

Katedra was a Polish progressive rock band formed in the late 1980s. They are known for their complex instrumental arrangements, extended song lengths, and philosophical lyrics, often drawing inspiration from fantasy, mythology, and literature.

The band's lineup shifted over time, but core members contributed vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass, and drums. Their musical style incorporated elements of symphonic rock, neo-progressive rock, and occasionally, heavier metal influences.

While they enjoyed a cult following within Poland and among progressive rock enthusiasts internationally, Katedra's commercial success remained limited. Their discography consists of a few studio albums and live recordings, often self-produced or released through smaller, independent labels.

Katedra is remembered for its intricate compositions and contributions to the Polish progressive rock scene. They are often cited as an influence by later generations of Polish musicians exploring similar musical territory. After a period of inactivity, the band has occasionally reunited for performances. Details of current activities or future plans are often communicated through fan forums and social media.
