Katharsis is the eleventh album by English heavy metal band Praying Mantis, released in 2022.

A more critical review from Metal.de stated how Praying Mantis delivers solid melodic AOR, and that the troupe knows how to make stadium rock and avoid breakaways.

Blabbermouth spoke well of the album, and showed appreciation towards tracks such as "Cry For The Nations," "Sacrifice," "Wheels In Motion," and "Don't Call Us Now" which they stated as "an infectious pop-rock shuffle, with the album's strongest chorus and faint echoes of rock opera and Jethro Tull."

Moreover, they criticized songs like "Ain't No Rock 'N' Roll In Heaven" and "Long Time Coming" for being straightforward and prosaic in that they pale in comparison with the album's deeper cuts.

Concluding with that, at its best, "Katharsis tells of a veteran band with plenty of gas in the tank and a strong grip on their highly distinctive identity."
