INTERVIEW: Kataklysm guitarist JF Dagenais on Goliath album

Interview by Andrew Massie

Kataklysm

For almost 3 decades, the US/French-Canadian based melodic death metal syndicate KATAKLYSM has delivered unapologetic waves of powerful sound across the entire globe. On August 11th, the band’s 15th full-length studio album “Goliath” will be unleashed unto the masses via Nuclear Blast Records. Following the release of 2020’s highly acclaimed Unconquered album, Kataklym  had more time than usual to work on the follow up album. Normally equipped with a release every  two years, the band had the opportunity to really craft this album over the span of 3 years. Goliath, staying true to its name, is an aggressive and mean album that was a product of its own unique obstacles.

We talk to guitarist JF Dagenais about the new album, dealing with fan responses to new recordings and how the concept of Goliath ties to the current world.
