Lyric video de la chanson « Guillotine » :




The "Meditations" cover artwork was created for Ocvlta Designs by Surtsey, who also crafted the artwork for KATAKLYSM's previous record, "Of Ghosts And Gods".

Singer Maurizio Iacono said: "This is a very personal album to me with old wounds being revisited — I felt a big urge to pour my soul into this release. The boys and I were isolated under the same roof during the writing process, just like we did in the early days... with no worries except having fun, being honest and delivering a serious album that represents us today but respects our past. Our new story is coming and we are eager to share it with you!"

Dagenais told That Drummer Guy about KATAKLYSM's decision to work with Ruston: "It was kind of a gamble for us because you never know because our music is so extreme and needs a certain type of process to it, to be able to be delivered right and we weren't sure if going with a guy like Jay Ruston, who is more of a traditional heavy metal/rock producer, that it could work. We all knew that, 'Okay, if this works, it's going to be really awesome. If it doesn't, it could be such a mistake.' No, it wasn't. We got our mixes and we were, like, 'Fuck yeah!' All of us together. We made the right call there and it was perfect. But, we worked really hard on the tracking, me and Oli. We spent months on recording the drums and guitars and the bass tracks and making sure Maurizio delivers the right energy with the vocals. We really polished the thing and we sent it to Jay Ruston and he totally brought it up to another level. So, that's really exciting."


Ils vont tourner avec Hypocrisy, belle affiche:

Ouais, pas de date à Toulouse ni Bordeaux, je suis dégouté...


Edith le trouve vraiment pas terrible ce morceau...
On est bien loin du monstrueux In The Arms Of Devastation!

Celui là est mieux:

Ils essaient de faire du Machine Head, en fait?

Sven a écrit:Ouais, pas de date à Toulouse ni Bordeaux, je suis dégouté...

Tu peux venir à Limoges, sinon.

Provocation gratuite. (et je m'y connais).

je vais louper aussi la date de Paris
bon clairement le LP ...mouais pas naze il ne faut pas exagérer mais Sven dit une presque vérité : il y a eu du bien poutrant dans la disco...AVANT.. L’intérêt reste le live et cette affiche bordel

Concert 'achement bien à Paris! Hypopo hyper carré et pro, un Peter charismatique et incroyable au chant comme d'hab' et Horgh toujours aussi impressionnant, le mec c'est une montre suisse du blast, une machine à châtaigne!
Kataklysm, que dire, à part que les mecs envoient du pâté en live, très bonne ambiance, grosse teuf-bagarre, distribution de bières pour les slameurs qui arrivent sur scène, je conseille à quiconque aime le metal qui bastonne mais avec bonne humeur, des mosh pits très très cools!
