In April of 2020, Katatonia released their 11th studio album, City Burials. The band hasn’t been able to do any touring to support this release to the disappointment of metal fans the world over. Not content to stand still, Katatonia held a livestream event live from Studio Grandahl, Stockholm on 9 May. Now the band is offering this release as Dead Air. This release will contain their 88-minute set in its entirety with 20 tracks from Katatonia’s extensive catalogue.
Vocalist Jonas Renske had this to say: “Here’s our first and (so far) only live rendition of ‘Behind The Blood’ from our latest album, City Burials. As weird as these times are, it gives us a little comfort to know that we made an attempt to defy the situation and did what we miss the most right now: playing a show.”
Dead Air will be out on 13 November 2020. It will be released as gatefold double LP, and as limited edition 3- disc set with 2 audio discs and a DVD. Dead Air will also be available digitally. Pre Order here.
