KATAKLYSM Frontman Reveals Tour Plans; Issues EX DEO Update
April 20, 2009, 15 years ago
KATAKLYSM recently checked in from the road while on tour with NAPALM DEATH, TOXIC HALOCAUST, COLISEUM, and TRAP THEM. Frontman Maurizio Iacono offered the following update:
"We're well into the first week of tour with our old friends in Napalm Death. The shows have been good and everything is under control. We look forward to all the dates and completing the touring cycle for Prevail in 2009. We will do some Euro festivals immediately after this tour is done and then go to Russia and Europe for a short headliner with DEATH ANGEL. The last thing on the agenda regarding Kataklysm will be a full European headliner in January 2010 to wrap things up until the next album.So after these tour are done our focus will immidiatly change to our new band EX DEO, which will be released by Nuclear Blast Records in June. The hype behind Romulus is gaining massive momentum and this is such a big project! We need get things ready with the live aspect of things and to rehearse and be prepared for Paganfest Europe. Having said that we decided to decline all tour offers coming for Kataklysm for the rest of the year. We might also bring this epic band to the States but were not sure yet, since it has to be the right tour.
We're going to announce some cool news regarding Ex Deo next week. So if you want to watch Kataklysm in the states one last time before the next album drops (not before 2011), this would be the tour to come visit us and party like we usually do. A big thank you to the fans for making Prevail a very succesfull album worldwide. Now I must gather my legions and take back the throne of metal! The scene needs a kick in the ass back to rebellion and Rome is coming!"
Ex Deo is the new band featuring members of Kataklysm. Their debut album, Romulus, will be released in North America by Nuclear Blast Records on June 30th.
