Canadian hyperblast veterans KATAKLYSM have posted the first in a series of video clips that feature a track-by-track breakdown of the band’s new album, Waiting For The End To Come. The initial snippet clip led by lead vocalist, Maurizio Iacono, can be seen below.
The album will be released on October 29 in North America via Nuclear Blast. The artwork by Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, HATEBREED) will be featured on the deluxe digipak and LP versions of the effort. The cover by Peter Sallai (SABATON) will be featured on the standard jewel case and limited edition cassette tape versions.
“This other version of the new art made by Eliran Kantor represents a more iconic and epic approach,” commented Iacono. “A man representing all of humanity, shaking the foundation of existence and ultimately beginning the process of destruction. The main foundation is depicted here as the famous KATAKLYSM ‘tribal sun’ logo. It does not represent the end of KATAKLYSM by any means; more the beginning of a new era after the end of a certain existence.”
The follow-up to 2010’s Heaven’s Venom, Waiting For The End To Come was recorded by KATAKLYSM guitarist Jean-François Dagenais, who has previously worked with MALEVOLENT CREATION, MISERY INDEX and DESPISED ICON, and was mixed by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (SUFFOCATION, HATEBREED, ARSIS).
