Catuvolcus is a Canadian metal band from Warwick, Quebec. They combine elements of folk metal, black metal and progressive metal. Catuvolcus' lyrics are mostly in French.

According to Plessix, they took their name in reference to Catuvolcus, the king of half of the country of the Eburones, a people between the Meuse and Rhine rivers, who united with Ambiorix, the other king, in the insurrection against the Romans in 54 BC.[1]

Catuvolcus' lyrics mainly deal with historical events of the Roman invasion in Gaul.
