Kataklysm Autobiography

siN's metal news reports: KATAKLYSM vocalist Maurizio Iacono has posted the following message on the band's official website:

"...Next year will mark the band's 15th anniversary and I'm damn proud of what we've achieved. For some it ain't much but for me it's everything, so I decided to set the record straight on EVERYTHING. I really got convinced last week when mags from Europe were in town listening to my new album and then we had a BBQ at my house. The day before they left and again, the same thing: "Bro, put that s*** in a book! Do it!"... So ok f*** it, let's do it. I talked to Nuclear Blast about it, they said let's go for it. So next year sometime... "KATAKLYSM / The Northern Hyperblast: uncut" book will be release[see full story for full announcement plus more news]- Click Here for the Full Story
