While in the middle of a summer tour in Europe, Kataklysm will release their latest album, Of Ghosts And Gods. This 12th studio album comes out on July 31st on Nuclear Blast Records and today we get to hear the first track; “Thy Serpents Tongue.”
The band also announced that they’ll release a concept video for all 10 songs from Of Ghosts And Gods leading up to the day of release, saying that they’ll be, “the first death metal album to release a concept video for each song.” This is (somewhat) similar to what Beyoncé did back in 2013, though she released a video for each song from her 14-song album all on the same day.
Kataklysm’s most recent album, the 2013 release, Waiting for the End to Come, was nominated for a Juno award this year, but lost to Devin Townsend Project’s latest album, Z².
