| Anders Nyström,Per Eriksson: Katatonia - Dethroned and Uncrowned |
Guitarist and founding member Anders Nyström commented, "The synopsis is simple and album title won't lie; the drums will be dethroned and the distorted rhythm guitars will be uncrowned! Instead, we'll place the emphasis on the many layers of ambience, with the melodies staying central and the vocal harmonies representing the heart of the album.
"Think of the album like a person's face in the hands of a surgeon, whose appearance is gonna change, but it's still the same person behind that face and we guess an important factor, in this case, would be that the surgeon itself is obviously Katatonia, not a stranger! If there's one album in our repertoire that's suited for a thing like this, it's Dead End Kings."
Dethroned and Uncrowned marks the band's first release on Kscope, sister label of the band's longtime home Peaceville Records, to celebrate the label's fifth anniversary.
The album was funded by a successful PledgeMusic campaign that helped make the recording possible. Fans can still get exclusive Katatonia PledgeMusic items at: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/katatonia
To coincide with the release of Dethroned and Uncrowned, Katatonia will embark on a co-headlining North American tour, "Uncrowned & Vertikal Tour," with Cult of Luna plus special guests Intronaut and TesseracT. The two-week run will commence September 23 in Boston, Mass. Tickets and VIP packages are on sale now.
Commented vocalist Jonas Renkse, "Dear North Americans! We are happy to announce yet another co-headline tour in support of Dead End Kings, this time with fellow Swedes Cult of Luna plus support from Intronaut (US) and TesseracT (UK)!
"Since we have been touring your continent quite a bit the last few years, we thought it was about time to re-decorate the good ol' setlist a little. Right now we are rehearsing and going through some of our hidden gems, songs that we haven't yet picked up or rarely have played live before. It will probably be as exciting for you as it is for us!
"Please note that it won't be an 'old-school' party, but an evening with atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife! Oh, and we will probably have time to play some of the 'hits' as well. All in all, we will squeeze out as much Katatonia as possible each and every night, so let's do this one together once again, shall we?"
Katatonia last toured North America in spring 2013 in support of the band's 2012 release, Dead End Kings. The album was the band's most successful to date and cemented the Swede's position as the master of darkened metal. Dead End Kings was released on Peaceville, Katatonia's home for the past 14 years. Stay tuned for more information on Katatonia, Dethroned and Uncrowned and the upcoming North American tour. |
