KATAKLYSM Accepts 15-Year Award From NUCLEAR BLAST
January 28, 2010Canadian extreme metallers KATAKLYSM were honored at a recent performance in Stuttgart, Germany with a plaque commemorating their 15-year relationship with Nuclear Blast Records.
Footage of the band receiving the award on stage can be viewed here.
KATAKLYSM has set "Heaven's Venom" as the title of the follow-up to 2008's "Prevail", tentatively due in October via Nuclear Blast Records.
Commented guitarist Jean-Francois Dagenais: "This album will be different than 'Prevail', but will still have the classic KATAKLYSM trademarks and hooks. You will see a much more intricate record than we've done in the past. It will contian some really fast and dynamic parts, but we will also aim on a very melodic-driven record and it will contain lots of technical parts as well that we haven't explored much lately. And no worries, the bone-crushing grooves are always a must with KATAKLYSM and will be present. I've also seen Maurizio's lyrics for this album so far and let me tell you that they hit really hard. I know it's a very personal album to him as he is going through some tough times in his personal life. So I'm not worried on what he will bring to this record. So expect a very real, aggressive and determined KATAKLYSM album!
"We know we have set the bar high for ourselves, but we are confident to deliver the goods once again.
"On the production end, I will handle the recording as usual, but
for the mix we have decided to enlist Tue Madsen from Denmark. We feel he captured best the band's sound on 'In The Arms Of Devastation'. We feel it's a winning team and we're gonna make sure you have the best-sounding record to date."
