Kataklysm is surely one of the constants in death metal: releasing an album every few years, maintaining their line-up for almost two decades and only changing on the drums, and being a guarantee for some quality music. With their latest release, Waiting For The End To Come, they let some dynamics return to the otherwise so heavy style, and that was pretty refreshing overall. Now it's time to prove that they can hold onto that path. Of Ghosts And Gods is here to please all fans of their latest stuff.

Hoping for a stronger album. The last release had some solid tracks but mostly it was too easygoing for me

Pretty decent stuff. Better than their last few albums for sure. Nothing to write home about, but this was an enjoyable listen.

Brutal album with lots of great riffs but it lacks guitar solos.

Pretty solid album. It's good to see there still are bands who are not into the 2-3 singles + 14 useless tracks/album trend.

Best kataklysm album in years. There are no filler songs and all of them sound unique

Saw them live at the Partysan 2015. They played some songs of this album! My favourite track is The Black Sheep

The black sheep is one of the few songs where breakdowns are actually used effectively!

I'm in the minority here I guess, but this album just sucks. I would probably have thought: so groovy, so angry, so awesome! if this was my first melodic death metal album. Alas it is not, as it is probably my 1000th, or something. Just feel like skipping to the next track after 1 min of each song...

Don't get me wrong, they're talented and the production is nice. Buuut, so fooking bland.

No I would have to agree with you all the way. I swear for me this group changed right after 'Serenity in Fire'. Nothing solid after that. A few good tracks here and there but nothing that has equaled what they have done and accomplished in the past. Their last album came out late 2013 and now barely a year later they just rubbed this one out. Just boring, uninspiring and it felt like Maurizio talked his way through most of the album. Weak vocals, weak guitars and if there is anything to take from this album would have to be the drum work (Kudos). I think I'm done with Kataklysm for the moment

Totally agree on all counts.


You should see all of the blind and dumb praise they get on FB by fans who just recently got into them. Try to mention albums like Prophecy, Shadows and Dust & Temple of Knowledge and they wouldn't know what you're talking about. Its misguided and not well deserved.
