You can cast your ballot once per week til August 31st. The "Amadeus Awards Ceremony" will take place in the Wiener Stadthalle on September 16th in Vienna, Austria. Here's what frontman Helmuth has to say: "Alright. BELPHEGOR entered the media control charts a few times. Now we are nominated for that mainstream thing, called Amadeus Award. The paradox of BELPHEGOR being represented in a National Music Awards ceremony is one which cements our ART as a real foundation of extreme culture throughout the world.The last thing we ever worked towards was recognition from a mainstream audience, but when you tour and work as hard as we have there is no way it cannot be noticed. We have left a mark on the world and will continue to cut even deeper on the next album. We understand it like this, it`s a cool thing that people noticed our dedication and true passion for musick. Austrians have a long tradition of brutal & extreme ART and this is just another sign that our efforts have not gone unrecognized. Also, the band has finished with recording drum tracks for their upcoming, yet untitled album. "It`s done, what a challenge. Intense band rehearsing and a total of three months prep-work on my own. Every drumfill, blastbeat and double bass attack is played to support the epic sound collages and build a massive fundament for the new BELPHEGOR masterpiece", commented Marthyn/ Drums.
Also, they will join Ozzfest tour mates DEVILDRIVER on a full North American tour scheduled around their Ozzfest appearances this Summer! "With the release of Heaven's Venom coming in the next few weeks we're going to start the touring campaign with a bang," commented KATAKLYSM vocalist Maurizio Iacono. "First with the almighty Ozzfest and then we're going to keep the metal flow by joining DEVILDRIVER for a full coast to coast North American tour! Last time we toured together it was a bombastic combo so we're excited to do this once more. The new album is tailored for the live setting and the assault will be deadly. See you fuckers there!"

"It wasn't a hard decision for us to choose who will do the next KATAKLYSM video. As some of you know we've released some of the craziest videos lately with our other band EX DEO. So we decided to give KATAKLYSM a visual masterpiece as well and hire Ivan Colic once again to direct and produce the new clip for the song ‘Push The Venom'. It's a hard hitting track with lots of anger and power and I'm positive Ivan will give it justice. We will shoot the video right after completing the EX DEO tour in Europe in mid July, so stand by for its premier in August!", says mainman Maurizio Iacono. |
