For almost three decades, the U.S./French Canadian-based melodic death metal syndicate KATAKLYSM has delivered unapologetic waves of powerful sound across the entire globe. On August 11, 2023, the band’s 15th full-length studio album, “Goliath”, was unleashed unto the masses via Nuclear Blast Records.
“There’s a lot of anger but also a lot of darkness in this record, it reflects the current mood of the world,” commented KATAKLYSM vocalist 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 okay with everything you see?”
He added: “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.”
Goliath was recorded at JFD Studios in Dallas, TX and Studio City, CA as well as The Cabin in Orlando, FL by J-F Dagenais, who also produced and engineered the album. For the mixing and mastering, the band returned to Chris Clancy with assistance from Colin Richardson. The cover artwork required an image that captured the iconic battle of David versus Goliath theme that is echoed throughout the album while matching the power of the music. The band enlisted renowned Berlin metal illustrator Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE) to create the artwork which took the KATAKLYSM look and gave it a macabre filter that compliments the brooding sense of uneasiness that was felt during the writing and recording of the album.
