OCTOBER TIDE's latest album,
"A Thin Shell", was released in North America in September 2010 via
Candlelight Records. The band's first CD in ten years followed the 2009 reissue of its debut,
"Rain Without End" (
Candlelight).
Formed in 1995 by then-
KATATONIA guitarist
Norrman and
KATATONIA/
BLOODBATH vocalist
Jonas Renkse,
OCTOBER TIDE quickly made a mark with two albums recorded and released during the years 1997 and 1999 (
"Rain Without End" and
"Grey Dawn", respectively). Much of the band's music was written during a short break up of
KATATONIA which later proved only temporary as the band would reform and continues today.
OCTOBER TIDE would not perform live during this short period of activity and few interviews with the members were granted despite praise from both media and fans. The band, until reforming in late 2009, would maintain a cult status throughout the doom/metal community.
