KATAKLYSM Comments On Ozzfest Tour Experience
August 25, 2010, 14 years ago
Montreal based extreme metallers KATAKLYSM recently wrapped up their first ever run of Ozzfest tour dates. Vocalist Maurizio Iacono comments on the band's experience playing the US’ biggest traveling metal festival:
"We didn't know what to expect going into Ozzfest. Already being invited was an amazing moment for us but we did our thing and it was monstrous! Kids were going crazy and we couldn’t have been more happy. I don’t know why it took over 15 years for someone to give us a real chance here but I want to give a big thank you to John Fenton, Sharon Osborne and everyone from Ozzfest camp for this opportunity. We stood strong and made loads of new fans! Now we’re going to continue on our quest across the US with DEVILDRIVER and KITTIE for the next three weeks. Hope to see all you fuckers out there! Heaven's Venom just came out yesterday in America so go get it and come check us out live. The new tracks are shredding!"Kataklysm recently shot a video for the song 'Push The Venom' with director Ivan Colic (TYPE O NEGATIVE, UNLEASHED, DEATHSTARS, EX DEO) in Belgrade, Serbia. The video can now be viewed below.
