Following the release of 2020's highly acclaimed Unconquered album, Kataklysm had more time than usual to work on the follow up album. Normally equipped with a release every two years, the band had the opportunity to really craft this album over the span of three years. 'Goliath', staying true to its name, is an aggressive and mean album that was a product of its own unique obstacles. 'There's a lot of anger but also a lot of darkness in this record, it reflects the current mood of the world', comments Maurizio Iacono. 'Goliath is an album that searches deep into questioning things that are happening on a global scale and inside society itself, are you ok with everything you see?'.
