via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.
FROM KATAKLYSM:
KATAKLYSM took home the award for "heavy metal album of the year" at
the Juno Awards (the Canadian Equivalent to the Grammy's) this past
weekend in recognition of their latest masterpiece, Of Ghosts And Gods.
Comments the band:
“It was a great weekend in the KATAKLYSM world! First off singer
Maurizio Iacono and his wife Suzzy were busy welcoming a healthy
beautiful little girl into the world named Arianna on April 1st. During
this joyful time, the rest of the boys were in Calgary
attending the Juno Awards, where the band took the honors for “heavy
metal album of the year “ for our latest album Of Ghosts and Gods. So
the band is in full celebration mode as anyone can imagine!
“What a crazy ride its been. We started over 20 years ago in high
school playing a form of music that was totally not accepted by the
masses and we didn’t care. We were rebels with a passion and we were
determined to spread that through our music. Fast forward to today and
that hasn’t changed a bit. That same passion and determination is still
very present and stronger then ever. What HAS changed is the view and
acceptance of this form of music.
"We thank the Juno's for
thinking forward and giving metal a voice to the masses. We are honored
to have been recognized with our latest album Of Ghosts And Gods, which
we are very proud off, but this doesn’t change who we are. It is the
fans that carry us though it all and our label that believed in us from
the beginning. We urge labels to do the same with developing bands and
artists, that need that attention the most, especially in today's music
industry climate. We are humbled and we thank you all.“
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
