KATATONIA Celebrate Night Is The New Day 10th Anniversary By Larry Petro, News Monkey Thursday, February 28, 2019 @ 12:44 AM
Limited Edition Deluxe Edition 2xCD/DVD/10” Red Vinyl or Double Red Vinyl is available HERE 2019 marks ten years since the release of KATATONIA’s seminal Peaceville album Night Is The New Day. Now, for the album’s 10th anniversary the band & Peaceville Records are set to release a deluxe edition of this classic album on 17th May 2019; and to further commemorate this dark gem, they will return to the live arena to play Night Is The New Day in its entirety at six select club shows in Europe in May. The band’s eighth album Night Is The New Day saw a continuation of the heaviness, depth & atmosphere of their previous album, The Great Cold Distance, with the band creating a more multi-dimensional sound. Asked how he now views the importance of Night Is The New Day within KATATONIA’s career, guitarist, Anders Nystrom, muses “we, and many others, look upon this album as one of the most well produced, dark and atmospheric albums within our discography. It spawned new classics with "Forsaker" & "Day And Then The Shade" that have rarely left our live repertoire. As a band, we dug deep into ourselves to deliver the epic ballad "Departer" as well as the folk song undertones of "Idle Blood", "Inheritance", "The Promise of Deceit" and "Onward Into Battle"; then there is the rich contrast of dynamics in songs like "The Longest Year", "Liberation", "New Night" and "Ashen" but we also slowed things down further to impending doom with the song "Nephilim". All of these songs glued this album together like pillars carrying the weight of both our night and day.”
The 10th Anniversary edition of Night Is the New Day features new cover artwork from long-time Katatonia collaborator Travis Smith, & be available for the first time in glorious hi-res 5.1, created by Bruce Soord, with sleeve-notes and new interviews with Anders Nystrom & Jonas Renske by renowned journalist Dom Lawson.
