Kataklysm Announce Special European Tour

Celebrating their twenty fifth anniversary, Kataklysm will be performing their landmark albums both Serenity In Fire as well as Shadows & Dust. 

Reaching the twenty five year mark with any band must be a real achievement. To commemorate the event Canadian Death Metallers Kataklysm will be heading over to Europe and the UK all the way in October. 

The fourteen date tour will also have support in the form of Graveworm but let’s get it straight, it’s all about Kataklysm on this one. 

Here is the lengthy statement the band have issued regarding the commemorative tour : 

“It’s hard to think that 25 years have already arrived, feels like yesterday when we were in high school being teen rebels and we started a band called Kataklysm, hard to believe that through everything this band has been through, we are still standing tall, but when you really think hard a few words can summon it all: Perseverance, strength, belief and honesty, those were and are the key ingredients for Kataklysm success and of course killer anthems who have stood the test of time!

We have taken this moment to stop and reflect and thought we should celebrate this event, as it doesn’t happen often to bands, to still be meaningful to the world and achieve 25 years of career, with this we also noticed that one of our breakthrough albums ‘Shadows & Dust’ will turn 15 years old in 2017, so what better way to send a big thank you back to our fans by revisiting this classic record and its follow up ‘Serenity In Fire’, two landmarks in Kataklysm on going blistering career?

We decided to make a special event with select dates and bring this idea to life with a tour called ‘A Moment In Time: Shadows & Dust vs. Serenity In Fire’ where Kataklysm will play both albums in their entirety, with a brand new stage show reflecting those two records, for this special occasion Kataklysm has invited their old friends in Graveworm from Italy to open up the festivities, who themselves supported Kataklysm in Europe and in the US during the ‘Shadows & Dust’ and ‘Serenity In Fire’ campaign era, we are beyond excited for this event, it will be a one time thing for the cities we play it, so don’t miss it, we will not bring it back, so make sure you come out and party with us celebrating our 25th anniversary!”

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Thursday 12th January)
