Death metal

Kataklysm is a Death metal act. Their sound grew out of Six Feet Under, Belphegor, Azarath and Kittie. Those roots explain a lot about how Kataklysm arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Amon Amarth, Unleashed, Malevolent Creation, The Halo Effect and Mors Principium Est, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir and In Flames, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
