Katatonia‘s crowdfuned new outing “Dethroned & Uncrowned” will see a September 10th release in North America on Kscope. Pre-orders for the outing are now live at this location. The effort finds the band reworking their “Dead End Kings” album with band guitarist Anders Nyström offering:
“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.”
As was recently posted, the band will be touring North America in support of the outing alongside Cult Of Luna, Intronaut and TesseracT with dates available here.
