October 3, 2007, 17 years ago
KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacono has issued the following update:
"One week into this tour of European markets (with BEHEMOTH, ABORTED, LYFTHRASYR) we haven't hit for the last album and it seems like they've been waiting for us forever. Phenomenal crowds, packed every night and having a packed house singing along.. or screaming 'In Shadows And Dust' together sure makes it feel gigantic. We can't wait to hit Scandinavia soon and the Uk as well as the other countries that are waiting for us. Aborted are a powerhouse the band fucking rips live and Behemoth are a fucking war machine, what a great package and great time , everyone is having fun and getting along..life is good lets keep it up! For all those attending Kataklysm for the first time come prepared for a Hurricane of a live performance!"In other news, Kataklysm will immediately return to North American soil as direct support to CHIMAIRA from November until X-Mas. Some off dates will also be announced and the band is looking forward to this tour.
Says the band: "Unfortunately bassist Stephane Barbe will not be able to make the trek on the Chimaira tour due to an important family obligation (Stephane and his girlfriend are expecting their first child). He will rejoin the band on the three last dates of the tour for the Montreal, Toronto and Millvale shows. Kataklysm will be utilizing the services of Francois Mongrain, bass player of technical death metallers MARTYR for the tour until Stephane can rejoin the band."
