Well as my friend went in the cdstore and bought him "kataklysm's album epic: the poetry of war" i realy thought to myself they must be an amazing deathmetal so as he puts this cd on his stereo from the first track to the last i was just like "can we play some cannibal corpse,obituary, or ,skinless, please ?" and he got mad because he thought i would like this...Ha! Kataklysm is by far the most weak deathmetal band i heard in a while mediocre ? Yes! Horrible? Yes! Do not waste your money on this crap insted go for skinless because those guys make kataklysm run for their money!

I was expecting some really good Death Metal, what a disappointment!! There are a couple of good riffs here and there, but this music is not as fast as some people claim. This is very dull music, I expected more from a band refered to as "Northern Hyperblast". It's more like "Northern Snoozefest". The vocals are terrible, especially his higher pitch shriek/growls are really bad - kinda sounds like and angry duck. If you want some really good, fast Death Metal with excellant vocals then get Hate Eternal's King of All Kings. If you are looking for brutal Death Metal that truly lives up to the title of Epic, then get Nile's In Their Darkened Shrines cause this Kataklysm disc sucks like a Shop-Vac.

Predictable and cheezy. I sold my copy of this CD. You can sense the forthcoming sell-out. They tried so hard to make all these songs "catchy". Kataklysm have gotten worse and worse as time goes on; not that they were anything special to begin with.
I would recommend earlier Kataklysm. Try Sorcery or The Mystical Gate of Reincarnation.

Being that I do not hear things quite like others (I have Audio Processing Disorder), Kataklysm's first album The Temple Of Knowledge really knocked me for a loop due to the combination of its over-the-top vocals and pelting drums. It was not terribly inventive or even original, but it did what it did, made no apologies, and did it well. Everything that Temple Of Knowledge was, Epic: The Poetry Of War is not. It has moments, and is still preferable to the mainstream crud out there, but it is also thoroughly mediocre by the standards that Kataklysm and bands of similar vintage have set. If you have heard any death metal of a fast tempo, you have heard Epic, simple as that. Whereas the blast beats used to be creative and creatively timed with the vocals, now they are generic to the extent that veteran listeners will not even notice. And given that the drumming combined with the vocals were the entirety of Kataklysm's strength, that is an incredibly bad sign. They should have stopped after The Prophecy.

this is the first Kataklysm album i purchased. after a friend told me to pick up one of their albums i picked up this one, and i found it very good. Kataklysm is like the death metal version of Dream Theater. they are very complex at everything they do and their tracks are full of ear candy. most of the tracks are longer than most bands and they definitly don't have any filler. "Epic" is an album that all death metal fans should have.
