Unfortunately, northern hyperblasters KATAKLYSM had to cancel their appearance at this year's installment on the infamous 'Wacken Open Air'.

"Unfortunately because of our extremely tight schedule between the new album, EX DEO's euro tour , "Heavy Mtl Open Air" and Ozzfest all jammed together this summer, we just can`t make the trip to 'Wacken' this year. The organizers have been kind enough to rebook us for the next Wacken in 2011...of course if the world still exists, so we apologize to all you maniacs that wanted to see us destroy Wacken this year...you`ll have to wait til next year!", comments the band.

The release of the brand new KATAKLYSM album, "Heaven's Venom", is set for August 20th 2010.
