Kataklysm‘s cover of Sacred Reich‘s “The American Way” will serve as the bands next music video with a clip for it to be filmed in New Jersey early next month. Director Tommy Jones (Testament, Death Angel) will helm the shoot. The cover appeared as a bonus track on the digipak edition of the bands latest release, “Waiting For The End To Come“.
Kataklysm vocalist Maurizio Iacono commented:
“Kataklysm has never covered any band before on disc in its 20 year existence. We decided to change that on the new record and wanted to do something people didn’t expect, but also something that stood through time. The message behind the song is still relevant now. The difference today is that it’s a global problem, not only in North America but everywhere.
I personally grew up on early thrash metal and Sacred Reich was and is one of my all-time favorite bands. It was very important that we had the blessings from the band to do this video. The guys In Sacred Reich gave us the green light and are happy that were doing this. We chose to reconstruct the same type of video they did for it back in the day but in modern day setting. It’s going to rock!”
The group will be touring North American in April with Aborted.
