18:22 - EMols86 Still, I didn't complain because I already saw them 2 times before that. First two times they did play a lot of their more extreme songs. But it's just a shame they went into this direction (progressive rock that is).
After drummer Max Duhamel was forced to take a break from the band activities to take care of his alcohol problem, Kataklysm had to make a decision and the group has recruited ex-Neuraxis drummer Oli Beaudoin to record the band's new album Waiting For The End To Come and to play their upcoming shows starting on June 30th in Costa Rica.
Bad news for Kataklysm fans. Drummer Max Duhamel won't be performing on the next Kataklysm album Waiting For The End To Come due to problems with alcohol. The band promises to find a fitting replacement and announce it in the next few weeks.
After revealing that a new album was in the works, Kataklysm have set the title for their upcoming album. It will be titled Waiting For The End To Come and it is tentatively scheduled for a late 2013 release via Nuclear Blast Records worldwide. The death metal combo also stated that the lyrical theme of the album will revolve around mortality and the purpose of life.
Canadian death metallers Kataklysm have finally revealed something about their new album. The band confirms that the mix and mastering will be done in 2013 by a new producer to be announced next week. Guitarist Jean-Francois Dagenais will engineer it and promises a more complex death metal album this time after Heaven's Venom.

And also Canadian death metallers Kataklysm have a new video out for your viewing pleasure. The band just unveiled their new video for the song "Push The Venom" and can be watched below. The clip was filmed last month in Belgrade, Serbia with director Ivan Colic (Type O Negative, Unleashed, Ex Deo).
Commented vocalist Maurizio Iacono: "After the crazy videos we did with Ex Deo, it was only natural for us to upgrade the Kataklysm visuals as well. We decided to try to recreate the underworld fantasy atmosphere depicted in the artwork with some great visual effects. The song is about surviving the judgment that others cast upon you, and that which is important and feels right to you. Spread your venom and not the lies of your enemies! Ivan did another fantastic job and we are super-happy with it and hopefully you guys dig it too."
