Kataklysm
Kataklysm “Prevail”
In 1995, Montreal’s Kataklysm recorded one of the finest death metal albums of all time in the form of Sorcery. The album was a complex web of technical riffing, dark atmosphere, melody and the most powerful vocals in death metal. In 1998 Kataklysm parted ways with grizzly bear vocalist Sylvain Houde to become [...]

Montreal, Canada’s KATAKLYSM has confirmed a show in Mexico City, Mexico for January 16 at the Hard Rock Live. This will mark the band’s first appearance in Mexico since 1995.

Once upon a time there was a death metal act from Montreal that was led by a grizzly bear on vocals with shredding riffs, explosive blasts, technicality, intensity, perfect song writing and an unparalleled dark atmosphere. This band was Kataklysm, though you wouldn’t guess it based on the band’s studio efforts over the past [...]

I figured since the National Hockey League was back I’d go for an all-out, Molson soaked, review session. Since this hit my eye first, I figured this disc would do fine. This is a decent compilation of bands from the frosty north, with most of the bands in the death metal realm. All of these [...]

Much has changed since the release of the band’s last full-length LP in 1996 entitled Temple Of Knowledge. The disgruntled band parted ways with German record label Nuclear Blast, grisly bear vocalist Sylvain Houde left the band to pursue other musical interests, drummer Nick Miller left to join Anal Blast and was replaced by [...]

One year after releasing the critically acclaimed Temple Of Knowledge on Nuclear Blast, Kataklysm parted ways not only with their label, but also with long-time vocalist Sylvain Houde and session drummer Nick Miller. With their departure, not only did the band’s label change, signing with Canada’s Hypnotic Records in 1998, but the band’s sound [...]

This live album was recorded December 21st, 1996 in Montreal on the very last date of Kataklysm’s tour to promote Temple Of Knowledge. It’s also the very last recorded appearance of Sylvain Houde and touring drummer Nick Miller on a Kataklysm album. The album contains thirteen live tracks, nine from Temple Of Knowledge, [...]

I fucking love Sorcery. It was a chaotic batch of intense death metal with creative drumming, a great sense of Swedish-influenced melody, an awesome barrage of vocal insanity delivered by Sylvain Houde, and grand epic pieces of song writing. The same could be said of the various EP’s of that time period and even a [...]
