"Aggressive and contemptuous of division and dysfunction, 'Goliath' is also everything you could want and expect from a Kataklysm record, marrying thrash, punk, and melodeath into a lean muscular whole."
Metal Hammer (UK)
“Unique, powerful, and uncompromising sound! With ‘Goliath’, Kataklysm confirms once again its status of one of the best devastated Metal bands ever!”
Metallian (FR)
"Violent, searing, frenzied cadence, dense and limpid sound. 'Goliath' is as uncompromising as it is memorable!”
Loud TV (FR)
“KATAKLYSM set a big, fat example with their most exciting piece since ‘Waiting For The End To Come’.”
Metal Hammer (GER) (Album of the Month #1 Soundcheck position)
"'Goliath' is a loud and powerful statement from a band showing no signs of slowing down yet (literally or figuratively)."
Metal Storm (US)

Goliath was recorded at JFD Studios in Dallas, TX and Studio City, CA as well as The Cabin in Orlando, FL by J-F Dagenais, who also produced and engineered the album. For the mixing and mastering, the band returned to Chris Clancy with assistance from Colin Richardson. The cover artwork required an image that captured the iconic battle of David versus Goliath theme that is echoed throughout the album while matching the power of the music. The band enlisted renowned Berlin metal illustrator Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE) to create the artwork which took the KATAKLYSM look and gave it a macabre filter that compliments the brooding sense of uneasiness that was felt during the writing and recording of the album.
