KATATONIA - Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State - LP - Black Vinyl [JUN 6]

LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl. 

Even after more than 30 years, Katatonia, Swedish grandeurs of melancholic heaviness, continues to redefine the emotional spectrum of the genre, effortlessly shifting between haunting vulnerability and commanding artistry with Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State. Once again, the Stockholm-based unit masterfully navigates the tightrope act between nocturnal darkness and Scandinavian despair while subtly weaving a sense of hope into the listener’s heart.

The album marks the next step in Katatonia's evolution, building upon the foundation of their previous releases. Crystal-clear production highlights the interplay between silence and intensity, while the contrast of heavy riffs, delicate guitar harmonies, ethereal synthesizers, and atmospheric nuances create captivating tension.
