Customer Reviews A total classic from the Northern Hyper-Blast! This album is excrutiatingly brutal, with some of the most inhuman vocal performances you can ever hope to find. As far as technical death metal goes, Kataklysm is by far one of the best bands in the genre. Although the album hammers you in the face with full-blown chaos, there is a vein of melody throughout, which truly holds this masterpiece together. Very intense stuff, and very well arranged. One of the best!. Mystical, technical death metal at its finest But one day I saw this at a local music store so I thought, "What the hell? You don't see Kataklysm's first disc very often. My first reaction upon hearing this disc was, "Wow! " You see, the few scattered sound clips I'd heard of Kataklysm just hadn't impressed me very much. Might as well pick it up. " So I did and it made my day. Kataklysm ain't the most technical beast I've ever heard (this album is from 1994 you know) but the mystical and magical elements thrown in basically make this one of the best albums I own. Anyone who likes their death metal technical and thought-provoking should do themselves a favor and pick this up. Listen to our magick! One listen to just this song is a dose of death metal to hold me for the whole day! Yeah! Those nondescript 'incantations' in the high screamy voice make those with even a casual interest in light, love and goodness wither into a dry husk. All I have to say is that "Elder God" is just heavy as all get out. I won't even bother myself with whatever streetwise\rap bull they are doing now - why punish oneself? Sylvain Houde is the mic-eating MAN!. . You can see a complete list of all Kataklysm discography, or go back to the Kataklysm tabs
