Katatonia announce new album ‘City Burials’

KATATONIA have announced a new album!

Titled City Burials, the upcoming album from the Swedish metallers is the hotly anticipated follow up to 2016’s The Fall of Hearts and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Peaceville Records.

The upcoming album was produced by Nyström/Renkse and recorded at Soundtrade Studios, Tri-Lamb Studios & The City Of Glass, throughout October & November last year, with engineering work handled by Karl Daniel Lidén and mixing and mastering from Jacob Hansen. The upcoming album also sees the return to the KATATONIA fold of Anders Eriksson (Frank Default) beloved for his keyboard contributions to Night Is The New Day, Dead End Kings and various remixes. Artwork appears courtesy of Lasse Hoile, the image itself representing the ongoing era of the Dead End King.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Anders Nyström says, “in days and nights of black and silver, the dead end king will come. From pieces of broken mirrors there will be a crown bestowed upon his head. In reflections of shattered glass not only the seasons will turn, but also the change disguised by the lapse of time. His mind will have to come to bear the weight of everything that was left behind and forgotten. Archiving the inaccessible. Celebrating the abandoned and mourning the destroyed. The city burials.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled Lacquer.
