March 6, 2015, 9 years ago
Montreal-based death metal powerhouse Kataklysm recently revealed the release of their new album Of Ghosts And Gods will be July 31st worldwide. The band will also launch a brand new website and will reveal the cover art on March 23rd.
Guitarist J- F Dagenais will track drums, guitars and bass for the album, while vocals will be recorded by producer Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, DevilDriver, Cannibal Corpse). The entire process will be mixed and mastered in the UK by legendary producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Amon Amarth).
The band states:
"The new album is finished being recorded and will travel into the very capable hands of legendary producer Andy Sneap this month for the final mix and production work. We haven’t been this excited to release an album in a very long time. Of Ghosts & Gods is set to stand alongside the bands classic records like Shadows & Dust, Serenity In Fire and In The Arms Of Devastation. It has all the elements that make Kataklysm the force that it is with unrelenting power, melodic hooks, extreme passages and the head stomping grooves Kataklysm is well known for, plus it jumps into new territory in the true nature of the band’s adventurous exploits to push the limit. The end result will be our fans head banging with their horns in the air and shouting the hymns - and that’s our satisfaction right there. We will be hitting the road this summer with a string of festivals in support of the album. This is a determined Kataklysm like you’ve never seen before. Be ready."
In 2014 Kataklysm had one of the busiest year in their entire career supporting their latest gem, Waiting For The End To Come. he band started a successful run that started in Australia and Japan a year ago and made its way worldwide to many countries, including some first time stops in places like Brazil and South Africa among others. This December, the campaign which saw the band play 150 shows will conclude with three shows in Mexico.
Waiting For The End To Come was released last October via Nuclear Blast Records.
