Montreal based death metal powerhouse KATAKLYSM has issued the following statement:

“We are here today to announce that Oli Beaudoin will remain behind the throne as the drummer for Kataklysm on the next album and future tours. Max has informed that he cannot continue or return to the ranks at this time due to physical health issues. Kataklysm welcomes Oli on board as we forge on. Max remains our brother and will always be a part of Kataklysm. Those who saw him in Montreal playing the Road to Devastation with us at the end of the show, saw that even with severe pain the boy still has the chops to perform. We wish him well and know our paths will cross again.”

Guitarist Jean-François "JF" Dagenais will track drums, guitars and bass for the album, while vocals will be recorded by producer Mark Lewis (WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, CANNIBAL CORPSE). The effort will be mixed and mastered in the U.K. by British producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, AMON AMARTH).

"The Black Sheep” is a song we feel represents anyone who follows his/her own path despite facing critics and hate for being different then the norm. I'm sure many metalheads will relate, we surely do.

For almost three decades, the US/French Canadian-based melodic death metal syndicate, Kataklysm, has delivered unapologetic waves of powerful sound across the entire globe. On August 11, the band’s 15th full-length studio album, Goliath, will be unleashed unto the masses via Nuclear Blast Records.

"Bringer Of Vengeance" is the first single from the album. The song opens with drop-tune guitars and takes the listener on a journey mashing together modern metal and djent components that are layered over the traditional Kataklysm sound.

Maurizio Iacono comments, "Our new album Goliath comes at a time in our society where division and hate are growing and spreading on a worldwide basis, where ideologies on how the future should be for humanity is colliding, This is also a time of unprecedented power structures fighting for the control of our lives, the story of David vs Goliath has never been more important than these modern times, Metal has always been a voice of rebellion against oppression and for the protection of our freedoms, the album also touches on inner conflict and doing what needs to be done to confront your inner demons. The 'Bringer Of Vengeance' single’s main idea is about a carefully and patiently plotted revenge. The song is inspired by the events surrounding the assassination of King Richard I 'The Lionheart' and the idea that it might take time but, one day justice will always be served".
