1992 was the year when the KATAKLYSM rised, armed with only one goal: delivering the most punishing music ever created by combining melody and power into one devastating force!!....and so they did.

It only took KATAKLYSM a 3 song demo titled 'THE DEATH GATE CYCLE OF REINCARNATION' to gather recognition and a major/ Indy record deal with German label NUCLEAR BLAST. In 1994 KATAKLYSM released its 1st official world-wide release the now classic demo + bonus track THE ORB OF UNCREATION to form 'THE MYSTICAL GATE OF REINCARNATION' EP. KATAKLYSM had forever established a new form of extreme music...NORTHERN HYPERBLAST!!!

The critics worlwide agreed ....... KATAKLYSM are top contenders in the underground scene! 1995 the year the Canadian hyperblasters released their 1st full length album 'SORCERY' and proved that they are a force to be reckoned with their unmatchable lyrical approach and mystical trilogies, powerful yet melodic guitar riffs, pounding distorted bass and uncompromising blast beats and drumming. Soon after the release, the world got to experience the kataklysmic wrath live.....

With their first European tour alongside DEICIDE ,CATHEDRAL,BRUTAL TRUTH,SINISTER and FLESHCRAWL.

CLASSIC RELEASES. 1998 KATAKLYSM gets signed by Canadian label HYPNOTIC INTERNATIONNAL and release their most experimental release 'VICTIMS OF THIS FALLEN WORLD' plunging into a more early hardcore and rawness feel...nevertheless the album was well received and KATAKLYSM got their top mark ever in German magazine HAMMER 6/7.(the album was only released in Canada and Europe because of label distribution situation)
