Kataklysm - Prevail

AngraRULES · May 9th, 2008, 10:45 AM

Have been listening to this album for the past two days since receiving a promo copy from Nuclear Blast.

I know lots of people in the forum are afraid of Death Metal bands

but I figured I'd open a thread about this band, and this particular album. It comes out on May 27th, and so far it's a top 3 of 2008. This album kicks ass from beginning to end. Pure destruction!

Anybody else check it out yet?

Yep. Excellent disc.

For those who haven't heard this disc, I'd say the following; if you enjoy Amon Amarth, you should check out this disc.

Not feeling it. What they do, they do generically IMO.

I enjoy Kataklysm, but they seem like the type of band always destined for mediocrity. A friend of mine said it best when we were talking about that Chimaira/Kataklysm tour a few months ago, and Kataklysm was the only band either of us liked: "Who goes to a show just to see Kataklysm?" They make some good tunes but I don't see them getting too far, which is unfortunate. I haven't given this album a spin yet, need to get on that soon.

I'm going to the Summer Slaughter Tour (I think that's what it's called) ONLY to see Kataklysm, so I guess you're kinda wrong. Their fanbase seems to have grown exponentially in the past couple of tours. I have a feeling they will grow more so with this new album.

There's vader on that tour and ur going for Kataklysm?

they are good live though i guess, i just find their material incredibly boring

Kataklysm put on a great show when they opened for Dimmu. I loved them. Good songs and awesome stage presence.

I'd love to be proven wrong.
But seriously, you're going ONLY for Kataklysm? I like them but not nearly as much as Psycroptic, Vader, or Aborted.

I'm thinking of going to that tour.. and Kataklysm is a big reason why.
