Katatonia Tickets Mar 11 2010 7:00 pm iCal

Katatonia are a Swedish metal band formed in Stockholm in 1991 by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström. Their debut album 'Dance of December Souls' was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal and joining acts such as Paradise Lot and My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands.

The early Katatonia albums are noted for the overall melancholy of their sound.  However, Katatonia's more recent albums have progressed to a wider sound, with modern overtones, dropped guitars, symphonic synths and arrangements, alternative sounds and generally heavier riffs. 

Their 2009 release 'Night is the New Day' is their eagerly awaited 8th album and is a more multi-dimensional effort than previous albums, waltzing between prog moments, doom, folk and the classic melodic anthems that are the staples of Katatonia's uncompromising sound.  Swallow The Sun and Long Distance Calling will be supporting.

See them at the Relentless Garage on 11th March.
