Katatonia - Night Is The New Day ( CD Jewel Case )

THE 2009 MASTERPIECE OF DARK AND POIGNANT ROCK/METAL, CONSIDERED AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SWEDISH MAESTROS' ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER, PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD.

�Night is the New Day� was Katatonia�s eighth studio album, recorded throughout July 2009 & was co-produced, engineered and mixed by David Castillo.

An extension of the heaviness, depth and atmosphere featured on their previous outing, �Night Is the New Day� was also a more dynamic effort - moving between prog grandeur, ambient melancholy, folk delicacy & 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 & emotional decay.

The artwork appears courtesy of long-time collaborator Travis Smith (Katatonia, Opeth, Novembre).

Formed in 1991 by Anders Nystr�m and Jonas Renske their debut album, �Dance of December Souls�, was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal and joining acts such as Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride as one of the genre�s defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined and structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became third album �Discouraged Ones�; the main evolution points for modern day Katatonia.

This edition of 'Night is the New Day' appears on mid-price CD, with 12-page booklet.
