KATAKLYSM: Portland Show Cancelled
February 22, 2007Canadian death metallers KATAKLYSM have issued the following update:
"Tonight's [Thursday, February 22] show in Portland, OR has been cancelled due to severe weather conditions in the Northwest, making it impossible for the tour bus to make it in time as roads are blocked off. SWORN ENEMY and KATAKLYSM apologize to all their fans. We are hopefull to make the Seattle show tomorrow if the weather allows it."
KATAKLYSM recently decided to "immortalize" the character that was featured on the cover of their most recent album, "In the Arms of Devastation", and have him re-appear as the main character — dubbed "The Heartbeast" — on their next offering.
Commented KATAKLYSM vocalist Maurizio Iacono: "We had so [much] killer feedback on the artwork but especially on the character that we decided to keep him as the band's fifth band member... kinda like IRON MAIDEN did with 'Eddie.' We have the perfect concept for the next album art... it will be bad-ass!"
KATAKLYSM filmed its performance last summer at the Party.San Open Air festival in Bad Berka, Germany for the band's new DVD, titled "Live in Deutschland (The Devastation Begins)". The set features the whole show filled with an explosive setlist, a 30-minute documentary covering the band's 15-year history and a bonus live CD.
