Kataklysm announce new album ‘Goliath’

KATAKLYSM have announced a new album!

Titled Goliath, the upcoming album from the Canadian death metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Unconquered, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The upcoming album was recorded at JFD Studios in Dallas, TX and Studio City, CA as well as The Cabin in Orlando, FL by J-F Dagenais, who also produced and engineered the album. For the mixing and mastering, the band returned to Chris Clancy with assistance from Colin Richardson.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Maurizio Iacono says, “our new album Goliath comes at a time in our society where division and hate are growing and spreading on a worldwide basis, where ideologies on how the future should be for humanity is colliding. This is also a time of unprecedented power structures fighting for the control of our lives, the story of David vs Goliath has never been more important than these modern times, metal has always been a voice of rebellion against oppression and for the protection of our freedoms, the album also touches on inner conflict and doing what needs to be done to confront your inner demons.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Bringer Of Vengeance. Speaking about the new song, Iacono says, “the Bringer of Vengeance single’s main idea is about a carefully and patiently plotted revenge. The song is inspired by the events surrounding the assassination of King Richard I ‘The Lionheart’ and the idea that it might take time but, one day justice will always be served.”
