Of Ghosts And Gods: CD

Emerging in 1992 from the cold winds of Montreal, Canada comes Kataklysm, one of
the country’s top extreme musical exports. With a career spanning over 20 years,
Kataklysm are a leading force in the most brutal and powerful genre in heavy metal
and have conquered territories such as Europe, North & South America, Australia and
Asia, while recently becoming the first Canadian metal band to ever play South Africa.Kataklysm’s 2013 studio album, ‘Waiting For The End To Come’, enjoyed worldwide
success. Around the globe, the band played to full houses and paved new inroads
into Brazil, Japan and South Africa, where they played to their native fanbases for the
very first time. That same year, Kataklysm won the Metal Band Of The Year Award at
the renowned Indie Awards ceremony in Ontario, Canada and soon after, were
nominated in the Best Metal / Hard Album Of The Year category at the prestigious
Juno Awards (Canada’s equivalent to an American Grammy).With the completion of their twelfth studio album, ‘Of Ghosts And Gods’, Kataklysm
are prepared to unleash a tsunami of the best possible hurt among the masses.
Album tracking was entrusted to longtime producer / Kataklysm guitarist J-F
Dagenais (Despised Icon, Malevolent Creation), Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono
recorded his vocals with producer Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, Devildriver) at
Audiohammer Studios and album mixing was masterfully handled by legendary
producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Amon Amarth, Testament).‘Of Ghosts And Gods’ is a melodic slab of top notch brutality graced with intelligent
songwriting. As expected, Kataklysm’s famous body-slamming riffs and grooves never
falter. Upcoming artist Surtsey (Occvlta Designs) designed sinister album artwork
depicting the reality of humanity’s beautifully disturbing existence and its impending
death. Endorsed by producer Mark Lewis as “Kataklysm‘s best album to date,” ‘Of
Ghosts And Gods’ demonstrates how – like fine wine and an expert demolition crew –
Kataklysm just keep getting better with age.Tracklisting
