| Napalm Records is beyond proud to announce the worldwide signing of legendary Swedish masters of melancholy KATATONIA. The band has inked a worldwide record deal with the leading Austrian rock and metal label. Piercing through the core in 1991 when KATATONIA was brought to life by the inimitable Jonas Renkse (now vocalist) and renowned guitarist Anders Nyström, the unit has taken a fascinating journey from their heavy atmospheric extreme metal beginnings in the early 90s underground metal scene to their current status as a unique, free-spirited progressive rock amalgamation that stretches beyond the boundaries of standard music. Each stunning work of KATATONIA is tantamount to a cathartic experience – from their seminal debut, the legendary Dance Of December Souls (1993), to their most recent haunting masterpiece, the critically acclaimed City Burials (2020) – the latter marking their most successful release to date (debuting at #6 GER, #5 FI, etc). The five-piece has never failed in evolving its sound and unique identity into something that is known as one of Sweden’s top-notch musical forces today. Stay tuned for more exciting news coming soon! KATATONIA on the signing: “As Katatonia is just about to enter a brand new chapter in its own book of history, we’re passionate the band’s journey will continue onward and upward together with our new label Napalm Records.” Thomas Caser (Napalm Records) about the signing: “Katatonia has been one of the most impactful metal acts, always progressing throughout their career. Teaming up with such an iconic act is a dream of every music fan. We are beyond excited to work with the band and their team!” Experience KATATONIA live in 2022: 16.07.22 IT – Cremona / Luppolo In Rock 2022 22.07.22 FI – Laukaa / John Smith Rock Festival 2022 11.08.22 CZ – Jaroměř / Brutal Assault 2022 12.08.22 DE – Nottertal-heilinger Heights / Party.San Open Air 2022 13.08.22 BE – Kortrijk / Alcatraz 2022 19-21.08.22 – Las Vegas / US Psycho Las Vegas Festival 2022 26-28.08.22 RO – Bistrița / Way Too Far Rock Festival 2022 20.01.23 FI – Tampere / Tampereen Tullikamari (Pakkahuone & Klubi) 21.01.23 FI – Helsinki / Kulttuuritalo 22.01.23 EE – Tallinn / Helitehas 24.01.22 PL – Warsaw / Klub Stodoła 25.01.23 DE – Berlin / Huxleys Neue Welt 26.01.23 DE – Köln / Essigfabrik 27.01.23 DE – Stuttgart / LKA Longhorn 28.01.23 CZ – Prague / ROXY Prague 29.01.23 AT – Wien / Arena Wien 31.01.23 HU – Budapest / Akvárium Klub 01.02.23 DE – München / Backstage Werk 02.02.23 CH – Zurich / Komplex 457 02.02.23 DE – München / Backstage Werk 03.02.23 IT – Trezzo Sull’adda Mi / Live Club 04.02.23 FR – Lyon / Ninkasi GERLAND 06.02.23 ES – Madrid / Kapital 07.02.23 ES – Barcelona / La Salamandra 08.02.23 FR – Toulouse / Le Metronum 10.02.23 GB – London / O2 Forum Kentish Town 11.02.23 GB – Manchester / O2 Ritz Manchester 12.02.23 GB – Bristol / Marble Factory 13.02.23 GB – Glasgow / The Garage 14.02.23 GB – Wolverhampton / KK’s Steel Mill 16.02.23 DE – Frankfurt Am Main / Batschkapp 17.02.23 NL – Haarlem / Patronaat 19.02.23 FR – Paris / Le Trianon 20.02.23 LU – Esch-sur-alzette / Rockhal 21.02.23 BE – Antwerpen / Muziekcentrum Trix 22.02.23 DE – Hamburg / Gruenspan 23.02.23 DK – Copenhagen / Amager Bio 24.02.23 NO – Oslo / Rockefeller Music Hall 25.02.23 SE – Stockholm / Fållan Discography KATATONIA: Dance of December Souls (1993) Brave Murder Day (1996) Discouraged Ones (1998) Tonight’s Decision (1999) Last Fair Deal Gone Down (2001) Viva Emptiness (2003) The Great Cold Distance (2006) Night Is the New Day (2009) Dead End Kings (2012) Dethroned & Uncrowned (2013) The Fall of Hearts (2016) City Burials (2020) KATATONIA are: Jonas Renske – Vocals Anders Nyström – Guitars Roger Öjersson – Guitars Niklas Sandin – Bass Daniel Moilanen – Drums KATATONIA online: HOMEPAGE FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM TWITTER |
