Kataklysm Discography

Description

Kataklysm is a Canadian death metal band. They call their musical style "northern hyperblast" after an
advertisement in M.E.A.T. magazine describing another band, Fear Factory, as "hyperblast". The term refers to
the extremely fast blast beats that Kataklysm's drummer, Max Duhamel, fuses into the music.1992. At the beginning of
their career they were mostly known for being one of the fastest, most chaotic metal bands. However, their music changed
after Sylvain Houde left the band, and bassist/backing vocalist Maurizio Iacono took over Houde's vocal duties, and
another full-time bassist was recruited.



In 1998, the band released "Victims of This Fallen World", an album which was noted as being a change in
musical style from previous albums. The following album "The Prophecy (Stigmata of the Immaculate)", however,
this saw the band return to its previous style, though less chaotic and with a touch of thrash metal.



Drummer Max Duhamel is said to have been forced out of the band because of injuries. Eventually, Duhamel recovered from
his injuries and participated on Kataklysm's ninth album, In the Arms of Devastation.



Kataklysm's line-up has remained relatively stable compared to many other bands within the metal genre. The band only
has one missing original member, Sylvain Houde. Drummers make out most of the band's "former members" list.



The band has finished recording their new album entitled Prevail, which is set for release on May 23rd 2008.
