Katatonia: 'Night Is the New Day'

“They say every night has it’s dawn, we say night is the new day!”

Katatonia, the Swedish masters of melancholy, are set to return with their follow-up to 2006’s groundbreaking album, 'The Great Cold Distance'.

It can now be revealed that the latest opus is to be titled 'Night Is the New Day', with the band currently well along the road to completion of their eighth studio album.

'Night Is the New Day' will be released on October 19th (US – October 27th) on Peaceville Records.

Keep a look-out for the upcoming launch of www.nightisthenewday.com for exclusives & announcements on the final cover artwork, final tracklisting and the release of the new single.

The band commented earlier this year: "We’ll keep the info short for now as we’ll launch a studio diary to give you all the in-depth information and details on the album making incl album/song-titles, audio teasers, album artwork and also our tour plans along the recording process. We can already confirm that initially 13 tracks will be recorded and a selection of 11-12 songs will make it onto the album. We got a few big surprises to reveal and we’re confident this material is our most varied, diverse and possibly strongest shit all together on one and the same album. The release date is set for late October on Peaceville."
