Friday I took a trip to FYE to see what the big deal was about Protest The Hero. While I couldn’t get in to it through sampling it at the store, I’m going to give it another shot later. I couldn’t find anything that really roused my interest as far as newer cds goes, so I stuck to what I know.
I picked up Kataklysm’s 2006 release, In The Arms Of Devastation. I figured I really liked Prevail so I might as well start working on buying older Kataklysm cd’s and see what I like. In The Arms Of Devastation …read more

Mourning edition? Yeah, I don’t know. It looked a lot cooler when I typed it up like that. Anyway, I took a day off from work so I’m going to be doing some updates throughout the day with some and I there is a lot of news to cover so instead of stretching it out I thought I would lump most of it in one shot and work on some reviews in between as well as work on some stuff over at The Rock Dose. That page needs some traffic badly so I have to take a little attention away …read more

Repost from Nuclear Blast Newsletter:
Canada’s very own extreme metal titans, KATAKLYSM, have re-signed with Nuclear Blast Records! This isn’t the first time the band has re-signed to the label either but actually the fourth time; a first in the history of Nuclear Blast Records!
It is a partnership that has thrived for the past 15 years and has produced such classics as Temple of Knowledge, Shadows and Dust and In the Arms of Devastation to name a few. The band is currently part of the annual Summer Slaughter tour, supporting their soon to be classic new album, Prevail.

Yeah, I said it…but I was just screwing around. I got this tonight and I’m pissed at myself for going this long without it! This album kicks ass from her to Kingdom Come. I was a bit reluctant to get this because I have only heard a couple of songs and I wasn’t quite sure what I would think. This album is amazing……..that is all~
Oh, and Johnny Walker says Hello.

Kataklysm – Taking The World By Storm
 

Northern hyperblast is back with a bang on Prevail, the ninth studio release from prolific Canadian brutalists, Kataklysm. Following on the heels of 2006’s critically-acclaimed In The Arms of Devastation, the band’s latest slab of blastbeaten death metal is some of the sharpest, most visceral material of the Montreal-based crew’s nearly 20-year career. Once again, the production process was supervised by the band’s guitarist J-F Dagenais, and the mix was pounded out by the one and only Jason Suecof (Chimaira, Trivium, Bury Your Dead), so it’s appropriately hefty and punishing. Joining in for some special guest shredding on Prevail is …read more
