TOURISM (AND NEW MUSIC): KATAKLYSM, BELPHEGOR, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, CARNIFEX

 

Just a few quick notes in here about three new North American tours that were announced within the last week. Two of the headlining bands — Kataklysm and The Black Dahlia Murder — also premiered new songs yesterday, so I’ve included a stream of them below as well.

KATAKLYSM / BELPHEGOR

This is an interesting mix of co-headliners — Canada’s Kataklysm (whose new album Of Ghosts and Gods was given an initial assessment by Andy Synn for us here) and Austria’s Belphegor (whose most recent album was 2014’s Conjuring the Dead). The complete schedule is below, but first, a video…

Kataklysm are releasing a series of 10 videos over 10 days leading up to the release of the new album. Yesterday, the band released a video for the song “Breaching the Asylum”. Here it is, followed by the tour dates:

Yesterday, BDM also premiered a new song named “Receipt” from their forthcoming album Abysmal (due on September 18 from Metal Blade). The song premiered at Revolver, and you can listen below.
