KATAKLYSM Announce New Album Title, Tentative Release Date

January 14, 2005

KATAKLYSM vocalist Maurizio Iacono has issued the following update on the band's current and future activities:

"We've been working non-stop on our new album since last fall, on tour and in between touring. I've been receiving MP3 files from the rehearsals here in Chicago from J-F [guitarist Jean-Francois Dagenais] and things are going right on point. I'll be going to Montreal in March after the DANZIG tour to work on the record with the guys and work the arrangements.

"The transition from Martin [Maurais, former drummer] to Max [Duhamel] has been very smooth and what Max is putting in the new songs is just phenomenal and nothing to take away from Martin but it just sounds more like us now less mechanical and more human and that is what KATAKLYSM is about. It's all about good songs, well arranged and well done without deviating from who you are… not about being the heaviest and fastest in the world. It's also about doing tracks that will make the test of time and that is what we set out to do.

"We will keep working hard on this album to give you the best we have to offer.

"On that note, we have set the title 'In the Arms of Devastation' for the next album. Nuclear Blast have set a tentative October 17 release date but you might have to wait 'till early 2006, because until we have chills listening to the new material.. it ain't coming out! KATAKLYSM have also confirmed their appearance at the Metal Camp open air festival in Slovenia on June 23rd and 24th and will do a mini-tour with friends and labelmates GRAVEWORM that will end at the With Full Force Festival in Germany July 4th."
