KATAKLYSM has recruited producer Jason Suecof (Chimaira, The Black Dahlia Murder) to mix the band's new album in early January. Entitled Prevail, the CD will feature several guest appearances to be announced at a later date.
Beginning in early November, KATAKLYSM will launch a massice tour with Chimaira in North America. Commented frontman Maurizio Iacono:
“We look forward to the U.S. and Canadian soil on the CHIMAIRA tour. It's gonna kill!”
Unfortunately, bassist Stephane Barbe will not be able to make the trek on the CHIMAIRA tour due to an important family obligation (Stephane and his girlfriend are expecting their first child). He will rejoin the band on the three last dates of the tour for the Montreal, Toronto and Millvale shows. KATAKLYSM will be utilizing the services of Francois Mongrain, bass player of tech death metallers MARTYR, for the tour until Stephane can rejoin the group.
