KATAKLYSM have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, titled Unconquerable, is the fourteenth full-length effort from the Canadian death metal, the follow-up to 2018’s Meditations, and is scheduled to be released in September, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The upcoming album was recorded and engineered by the band’s long-time producer and guitarist JF Dagenais at JFD Studio in Dallas, TX. KATAKLYSM enlisted legendary Colin Richardson, post retirement, to aid in the mixing of the album’s weightier and modernised sound with additional help from Chris Clancy’s technicality and precision.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; titled The Killshot.

Speaking about the new song, and its accompanying music video, the band says, “The Killshot is very Machiavellian at its base meaning. The song deals with revenge and planning it out, I wrote the song in an open interpretation because everyone has their own story that they can attach to it. In general, the album deals with pain or setbacks, overcoming them and fighting back especially in today’s situation, the timing is on point. In February, we flew to Atlanta, Georgia and worked with director Scott Hanson. We saw some of his creations and wanted to try his style. The experience was awesome and we won’t forget it anytime soon. Everything went great but it was there, sitting at the airport that we first started seeing on all the screens that COVID-19 was about to shutdown the country.”
