Quebec’s KATAKLYSM have been creating quite a stir at this year’s Summer Slaughter tour with their show stealing performances all over the North America. Now after years of hard work and other successful tours, which most recently included runs with bands like DIMMU BORGIR and CHIMAIRA, the demand for a headlining tour has never been more apparent.

Kataklysm are pleased to announce their first headlining tour this Fall in four years! The trek will last from September 28th until October 28th and will cover much of the US and Canada. Joining them will be Relapse Recording artists DYING FETUS and fellow Nuclear Blast Records label mates ELUVEITIE and KEEP OF KALESSIN.

Vocalist Maurizio Iacono could barely contain his excitement when asked about (what is sure to be!) one of the biggest metal tours of the year:

"We’ve waited a long time for this! No more 30 minute sets and pissing our fans off every time we play with people saying ‘why didn't you play this or that.’ We’re fucking stoked to have been given this opportunity to really give our fans the show they deserve. We’ve also brought an elite line up of bands and friends to join us out on the road. Our great friends and brutal death metal legends Dying Fetus. From Europe, we’re bringing PaganFest stand out band Eluveitie with their pagan folk metal that will turn many heads. Last but not least, Norway's new kings of progressive Black Metal Keep Of Kalessin! A full on metal package like that hasn’t been seen in a long fucking time! In addition there will be a special guest in regional markets that will be revealed soon…so expect a big show with full fledged Kataklysm devastation. The time has finally come!"
