For almost 3 decades, the US/French Canadian-based melodic death metal syndicate Kataklysm has delivered unapologetic waves of powerful sound across the entire globe. On August 11th 2023, the band’s 15th full-length studio album “Goliath” was unleashed unto the masses via Nuclear Blast Records.
Following the release of 2020’s highly acclaimed “Unconquered” album, Kataklysm had more time than usual to work on the follow-up album. Normally equipped with a release every two years, the band had the opportunity to really craft this album over the span of 3 years. “Goliath”, staying true to its name, is an aggressive and mean album that was a product of its own unique obstacles. “There’s a lot of anger but also a lot of darkness in this record, it reflects the current mood of the world”, comments Maurizio Iacono. “‘Goliath’ is an album that searches deep into questioning things that are happening on a global scale and inside society itself, are you ok with everything you see?”…
“There’s something weird going on around the world, there is a lot of dysfunction. And this record has this mean, aggressive feeling about it. It’s also about fighting back, Standing up even if it seems at times impossible to do so… a Modern day David vs Goliath: fighting back for what is right for yourself and the people you love. The record kinda has that type of overall reach”, Maurizio Iacono says.
Not many bands have achieved what Kataklysm has in the span of their long and rigorous career, but what truly makes them stand them apart from the masses is seeing the world through truthful eyes, and creating the perfect musical landscape to describe it. With this latest album, Kataklysm gives an innocent but aggressive album in a time of such uncertainty. “Goliath” is the band’s response to the kind of media that was being force-fed from both sides and coming up with their voice and identity that has made them the figures of death metal.
Kataklysm recently released a single titled “The Rabbit Hole”, continuing the band’s powerful journey through their latest chapter. The track showcases Kataklysm’s unmistakable blend of melodic intensity and raw energy. It calls listeners to wake up, question what they’re being told, and resist passively accepting narratives imposed from outside.
