Night is the New Day is Katatonia’s eighth studio album. It was recorded throughout July 2009 & was co-produced, engineered and mixed by David Castillo.
An extention of the heaviness, depth and atmosphere featured on their previous outing, ‘Night Is the New Day’ is also a more eclectic effort - moving between prog grandeur, ambient melancholy, folk delicacy and 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.
Cover art once again comes courtesy of Travis Smith (Katatonia, Opeth, Novembre) & continues the stylistic identity established so effectively since ‘The Great Cold Distance’.
Available as a digibook CD with bonus track and 20 page booklet, and as a Ltd Edition (1000 copies) double gatefold 180g heavyweight vinyl.
'Possibly the greatest 'heavy' record I have heard in the last 10 years... it truly is a masterpiece!' Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
