With the completion of their twelfth studio album, Of Ghosts And Gods, KATAKLYSM is prepared to unleash a tsunami of the best possible hurt among the masses. Of Ghosts And Gods was recorded in three different studios from Montreal, Quebec to Dallas, Texas and Sanford, Florida in order to harness the expertise of the metal industry greats who best understood the bandβs talents and their vision. Album tracking was entrusted to longtime producer/ KATAKLYSM guitarist J-F Dagenais (DESPISED ICON, MISERY INDEX, MALEVOLENT CREATION); KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacono recorded his vocals with producer Mark Lewis (CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEVILDRIVER, WHITE CHAPEL) at Audiohammer Studios; album mixing was masterfully handled by legendary producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, AMON AMARTH, TESTAMENT).
The result is Of Ghosts And Gods β a melodic affair of top notch brutality graced with intelligent songwriting. As expected, KATAKLYSMβs famous body-slamming riffs and grooves never falter. Upcoming artist Surtsey (Occvlta Designs) designed sinister album artwork depicting the reality of humanityβs beautifully disturbing existence and its impending death. Endorsed by producer Mark Lewis as βKATAKLYSMβs best album to date,β Of Ghosts And Gods demonstrates how β just like fine wine and an expert demolition crew β KATAKLYSM just keeps getting better with age.
KATAKLYSM is:
Maurizio Iacono β Vocals
Jean-FranΓ§ois Dagenais β Guitars
James Payne β Drums
StΓ©phane Barbe β Bass
