Canadian death metallers Kataklysm have released their new standalone single, “The Rabbit Hole,” on May 22, 2025, marking their first new track since 2023’s Goliath. The song, featuring guest keyboardist Clemens Wijers of Carach Angren, delivers a dark sound with lyrics reflecting on personal struggles and mental descent, as shared in a recent Nuclear Blast interview. The accompanying music video, directed by David Brodsky, dropped on YouTube today, pulling viewers into a surreal “shadow realm” with its intense visuals. An exclusive t-shirt for the release is available for pre-order at kataklysm.ca/merch-store.
Formed in 1991 in Montreal, Kataklysm—Maurizio Iacono (vocals), Jean-François Dagenais (guitar), Stéphane Barbe (bass), and James Payne (drums)—continues their legacy of brutal honesty, following their 2023 album Goliath. Fans are praising the track’s ferocity and Wijers’ haunting contribution, with some calling it a return to the band’s raw roots.
