New week and another short run. Up to K now. This week will feature some different metal so be prepared. Starting the week off with some Northern Hyperblast from Canada. Kataklysm have been putting their spin on death metal for twenty years now. Their brutal assault has even branded them their own genre 'northern hyperblast'. One listen to any of their albums and you'll see why. Excellent metal drumming on display here. Over the years the band has released some quality albums,but for the selection here I'm going with 'In The Arms Of Devastation'. Now some people won't agree with my description of a good album here. But for me this along with 'Shadows And Dust' is their best work to date. Feature appearances by members of fellow Canadian bands Kittie and Into Eternity, this is simply a brutal album start to finish. Got way to get that aggression out on a Monday.
It seems that this album is a perfect fit for my Monday mood, dark and brutal. I got into this band around the time of their 'Shadows & Dust' record. It was brutal and perfect for getting the anger out. I got the chance to see Kataklysm few years back opening for The Haunted. Short and sweet set that made me want more. The drumming here is outstanding. What good death metal drumming should be.
