Katatonia announce European tour

KATATONIA have announced a European tour!

Set for May this year, the tour will see the band touring across Europe as part of the ten year celebrations for their seminal release Night Is The New Day. Alongside the announcement of the tour, Peaceville Records will release a deluxe edition of this classic album on May 17th.

Speaking about the ten year celebration and the importance of the album, guitarist Anders Nyström says, “The umbral machinery known as KATATONIA is starting to make its first moves after an idle year of stillness. We will begin our return with a celebration of our album Night is the New Day which turns 10 years now in 2019. We, and many others, look upon this album as one of the most well produced, dark and atmospheric albums within our discography. It spawned new classics with Forsaker & Day And Then The Shade that have rarely left our live repertoire.  As a band, we dug deep into ourselves to deliver the epic ballad Departer as well as the folk song undertones of Idle Blood, Inheritance, The Promise of Deceit and Onward Into Battle; then there is the rich contrast of dynamics in songs like The Longest year, Liberation, New Night and Ashen but we also slowed things down further to impending doom with the song Nephilim. All of these songs glued this album together like pillars carrying the weight of both our night and day.”
