Crushing riffs and industrial chaos—experience the sonic extinction.
The wait is over: Dirt Factory has just unleashed their latest beast, Biological Annihilation—a relentless blast of mechanical rage and dystopian aggression. Fueled by industrial firepower and apocalyptic intensity, this new release smashes through boundaries with metallic precision and raw fury.
Engineered for total collapse, Biological Annihilation is the soundtrack to societal breakdown—grimy, grinding, and unapologetically brutal. Whether you’re raging in the pit or spiraling into darkness, this is your anthem of the end.
“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)
For almost three decades, the US/French Canadian-based melodic death metal syndicate KATAKLYSM has delivered unapologetic waves of powerful sound across the entire globe. The band’s fifteenth full-length studio album, Goliath, is now available for the masses via Nuclear Blast Records.

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.
Below is the tracklisting for Goliath:
