Kataklysm feel rejuvenated with Ghosts And Gods

Kataklysm have named their 12th album Of Ghosts And Gods – and vow it will secure their legacy as pioneers of death metal.

The follow-up to 2013’s Waiting For The End To Come is set for launch on July 30 via Nuclear Blast. It’s being produced by Mark Lews and will be mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap.

The Canadian outfit report: “Kataklysm has been full of inspiration and are in full-determination mode lately – a rejuvenated band that is out to conquer the world with no sign of stopping.

“This promises to be the album that will once and for all establish Kataklysm as one of the top pioneers of the genre.”

They add: “The latest material will be touching on some new ground, while maintaining the aggressive edge the band has always been known for. Death metal hymns are arriving!”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
