KATATONIA Members Talk About Their Influences

November 4, 2009

RevolverMag.com has uploaded a video clip (see below) of KATATONIA members Anders Nyström (guitars) and Jonas Renkse (vocals) taking a trip to a local record store to talk about a few musical influences that played a significant role in writing the band's new album, "Night Is The New Day", as well as past KATATONIA records.

The mini-site for KATATONIA's eighth studio album, "Night Is The New Day", can be accessed at this location It includes audio samples, downloads, album information, interviews, art gallery plus exclusive previously unseen studio diaries from the recording session.

"Night Is The New Day" track listing:

01. Forsaker

04. Onward Into Battle
05. Liberation
06. The Promise Of Deceit
07. Nephilim
08. New Night

"Night Is The New Day" was released in Europe on November 2 (November 10 in North America) via Peaceville Records.

"Night Is The New Day" is the long-awaited new studio album of transcendental, atmospheric rock and metal, exploring the darker corners of audial melancholy. It was recorded throughout July 2009 and was co-produced, engineered and mixed by David Castillo. A continuation of the heaviness, depth and atmosphere of their previous album, "Night Is The New Day" is also a more multi-dimensional effort — waltzing between prog moments, doom, folk & the classic melodic anthems that are the staple of KATATONIA's uncompromising sound, completed by the haunting tones of Jonas Renkse's vocal journeys of urban and emotional decay. Cover art once again comes courtesy of Travis Smith (KATATONIA, OPETH, NOVEMBRE) and continues the stylistic identity established so effectively since "The Great Cold Distance".
