The following update was posted on the official Kataklysm website:

After much thought, Kataklysm have decided to cancel the few dates they had lined up with Devildriver next month, in favor to enter the studio.

Comments guitarist J-F Dagenais:
"I think we - all in the band - looking forward to hitting the road again and raise mayhem, but there's a lot of magic that just created with the writing process and all of us are too much into it to break the mood and progress. My studio is ready and we dediced to start recording the new album "PREVAIL" on August 15th and work on it til we leave for our European tour at the end of September. We also decided that we will mix the album in January in Florida with producer JASON SUECOF (Trivium, Chimaira, Black Dahlia Murder), which we are looking forward to. Myself and Jason will make sure the album is as flawless as possible with a crushing production!! So for the many fans that were hitting up our MySpace and website, looking forward to seeing us live this summer... we sincerely apologize but it's for a good cause, trust me. On the other side of things, we have some very serious offers for Nov. and Dec. so we are planning on hitting the road in the States then. There's some big things in the horizon... We will keep you posted!"
