"In a World Called Catastrophe" was the second single from Avalanche, Matthew Good's first album after going solo, and in 2003 it gave him a number 5 hit on Canada's Singles Chart. Like "Weapon" before it, the song brings in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and Good's gloomy grandeur gets all the room it needs. He wrote it alone and sings, plays guitar, piano and keyboards and chips in on percussion, with Rich Priske on bass and extra keys and Pat Steward on drums. Warne Livesey produced and engineered it for Universal. It also landed on the eighth Canadian edition of Now That's What I Call Music.
