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 bandโ€™s 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 โ€“ a melodic affair of top notch brutality graced with intelligent songwriting. As expected, KATAKLYSMโ€™s famous body-slamming riffs and grooves never falter. Upcoming artist Surtsey (Occvlta Designs) designed sinister album artwork depicting the reality of humanityโ€™s beautifully disturbing existence and its impending death.  Endorsed by producer Mark Lewis as โ€œKATAKLYSMโ€˜s best album to date,โ€ Of Ghosts And Gods demonstrates how โ€“ just like fine wine and an expert demolition crew โ€“ KATAKLYSM just keeps getting better with age.

KATAKLYSM is:

  • Maurizio Iacono โ€“ Vocals

  • Jean-Franรงois Dagenais โ€“ Guitars

  • James Payne โ€“ Drums

  • Stรฉphane Barbe โ€“ Bass

Abysmal Dawn Announce Fall Tour

Abysmal Dawn are unstoppable. Not even a global pandemic could stop these Californians from releasing one of the best albums of their career.

Now, with
last year's killer EP under their belt, the band are taking their techy, melodic death metal back out on the road. 

The Carnival of Death tour is traveling across the United States all September before heading north to terrorize major cities in Canada. They'll be supporting their old pals Cryptopsy, along with a murder's row of various other death metal bands: Reaping Asmodeia, Warforged, Hate, Visceral Disgorge.   

"We're excited to be sharing the stage again with our friends in Cryptopsy and just a killer lineup of bands overall", says frontman Charles Elliott. "The last time we toured with Cryptopsy was with Obituary and Cannibal Corpse in 2016, so we're long overdue! We'll be busting out some songs we haven't played in a while, as well as some songs we've never performed live. Can't wait to see everyone again soon!"
