KATAKLYSM Maurizio Iacono have issued the following tour update:

"So we are over a week into this Metal Crusaders tour (featuring VADER, DESTRUCTION, GRAVEWORM, SPEED\KILL/HATE and THE ABSENCE). The kick-off show in Montreal was phenomenal as always, Toronto was off the hook, New York was a sell out and Chicago was loud as fuck. Seems like lots people have our new album and know all the new songs, very well. Kataklysm is definitely growing rapidly in America ... loving the vibe on the tour, Destruction is a pleasure to watch every night, Italy's Graveworm deliver a power punch performance and Vader kill!!..all the bands get along and its been a party. The soccer world cup will start on the 9th. Germany is playing Poland so there will be some competition on the tour buses between the Vader boys and Destruction..its heating up!! I'll be cheering with Graveworm for Italy..so far so good!"
