Katatonia, Sweden's dark rock masters, have completed work on their latest video for the track 'Lethean', lifted from last year's acclaimed 'Dead End Kings' opus. The video was shot by Lasse Hoile, notable for his previous work with the Katatonia as well as Opeth & Porcupine Tree.
In related news, it has also been announced that Katatonia are shortlisted for a Swedish Grammy award in the 'best metal album' category for 'Dead End Kings'.
This year also sees the band embark upon an Australian tour with countrymen Opeth in March, as well as an extensive North American tour in April & May.
Released in August 2012, 'Dead End Kings' is a rich, adventurous and endlessly evocative masterwork that exhibits all the Swedish quintet's established traits while absorbing countless fresh ideas into that monumental sonic brew, this is plainly the strongest and most beguiling album in the Katatonia catalogue to date. It also proves that sadness comes in many shades and that no one is safe from its cold allure.
"Dead End Kings represents progression and taking things to the next level," says Renkse. "The writing was a little more intense and spontaneous for this one. I think that's the biggest difference. But it was made with the same mindset as the last few albums. It just had a little more fire involved."
Dead End Kings was produced by Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse themselves, and mixed by David Castillo (Opeth / Bloodbath). Additionally, Frank Default joins once more on sampling and atmospherics duties, while there is a very special guest appearance by Norwegian vocalist Silje Wergeland of Dutch legends The Gathering / ex-Octavia Sperati. 5.1 mix by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Devin Townsend) Stunning artwork is supplied by long-time visual collaborator Travis Smith.

The drumming is top class!
Man Jonas' clean singing voice is proboably my favorite regardless of genre.
Nice profile picture.
Facts, dude has amazing voice, he could sing about anything and I'd love to listen to it
This song is a masterpiece.
Katatonia and Opeth are my favourite bands
You would love to listen to Ayreon - Human Equation, both singer are in it :)
Sorry mistake, one is in HE, the other in 01011001
Then you are Kin my friend. You are one of a kind 🤫
Try also Be Lakor and Duskmourn
Somehow I always felt Katatonia and Opeth went 2gether. Especially their earlier music! Couldnt have one without the other!
who is listening Katatonia now in 2039?
Everyone..........
Me, myself and this oldman! ^^
Yok Ebenin Gözü knk
I will be listening for sure whether I have ears or life :-)
I already listen them for at least 15 years, I remember as it was yesterday the launching of the "The Great Cold Distance", and a really annoying "radio voice" inside the tracks haha
me, since 1997
I cried while they were playing this song. First time seeing it live 🥲
I wish to see them live one day. The energies and atmosphere that they create must be hard to describe ❤
this entire album is so great, my personal favorite of theirs. it's just so dark, heavy and melodic.
Every song on the album is great, the album should be more widespread/well known than it is. One of the top 20 swedish metal albums.
One of them...because the best is DT's Moment... @@LoudnessJP
after a lot of reflection, I think this is probably the best song that kat has ever written and performed. it's so concise, rhythmic, and beautiful. the lyrics are utterly stunning. jonas's voice is at its absolute peak here. the guitar solo is fitting and doesn't break the mood or pacing. just really incredible work. this demonstrates the modern maturity of the band better than perhaps anything aside from deliberation. 10/10 work.
I can't get enough of this song.
So f******ng beautiful
These guys do not understand the word average. This band transcends music into nothing but pure emotion.
that solo is delightful
+fazeel ashraf It sure is.
it was lovely to see live too. looked forward to it from the moment I first heard this.
Superb
Its a monster solo. So epic and fitting.
must be one of the most underrated bands
This is that kind of music that transcends the level of your normal metal to art!
How beautifully described. Thanks
I could not agree with you better
Totally agree, instantly recognisable
Definitely 🖤
Metal is already art
This song is absolutely beautiful..
Jester Head Best melo death album of all times 💓
Yeah man The Jester Race is something else
Jester Head why are you everywhere???
Jester Head jester race in my playlist now
@Robert Jordan The singing and the instruments are one.
Beautiful music! I saw them live with Opeth. What an unforgettable night!
***** It was. Indeed. I even met Opeth before the concert. I was walking down the street before the concert, close to the concert venue, when I suddenly saw 3 of the Opeth band members (including Mikael) walking towards me. I stopped them for a photo. It was awesome :)
Lol me too
WTF Opeth&&&&??? шI dont speak english//but wtf opeth &&&&777
+Maina me too years ago together with Opeth and Novembre
EK. not the WK.
one of the greatest bands of all time
When "what took you so long hits", it melts me.
I dunno why but this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
This is one of the best metal albums of all time.
Indeed!
Absolutely. Should be more well known, deserves that Opeth level of metal fame.
Jonas is a very convincing lyricist and composer. I dig his vocal stop technique. Awesome!!! 🤘
2019 here - Still the song I use to hook people into Katatonia... never fails.
Never listened to their stuff before. This was an accidental click for me and I've been listening to them all week
tomb of insomnia still the song i use to recommend new Katatonia fans
It's either this song, Forsaken, or My Twin and they're hooked.
I was thinking about that too today you hook someone but I finally went for Anathema's late stuff as Katatonia would be heavy for that person.
2022, just sent this to a friend and he's fanboying hard already
One of the most beautiful and powerful Katatonia creations. "Lethean", yet unforgettable. Timeless.
I found out Katatonia because of Mikael (as he's my all time most favourite vocalist), and I've been a fan ever since. What an amazing and criminally underrated band.
Drums work is superb, all the work is top notch, i'm absolutely in love with this record!!
These guys came out of nowhere to me. Then after hearing this album im a fan for life
+Aaron Cunningham I discovered these guys through Fallout 4 - a really creepy terminal message turned out to be a direct quote of their lyrics.
+Steve Marston as much as I detest bethesda, I have to give them a bit of credit for this. Skyrim has Katatonia references too. Someone in Bethesda is a big fan.
Not a fan of fallout so I didn't know they featured this song on one of their games. Thats a surprise.
If I recall correctly it isn't this song they reference, I was just checking these guys out to see what their style was like
The same happened to me.
Flashbacks, ten years later.
What a song, what a band! One love for Katatonia! 🖤
In my late teens my life had a soundtrack. This song wasn't out until 15 years later but this was it. I just didn't know it then, but I feel it in my soul now. Everytime I listen to it.
I can't stop repeat they're amazing
did that all day one day about 3 weeks ago with Old Heart Falls and this song back to back. I went from tears to jovial moments. Love these songs and will always be in debt to this band and other great bands in my heart. Bravo Katatonia
katatonia are beyond perfection
Every bit of arrangement in this song is brilliant. The oriental passage ......unexpectedly seductive. Katatonia ........you left me with the sweetest pills.
Music that touches your soul. Because it comes from someone else's soul
This song!!!!
I just stumbled onto them today.
What took me so long?
I'm onto heaps of Swedish bands.
I'm obsessed with Soen.
But totally digging these guys
2021 and I still love Katatonia so much.
this song is perfect in and out. its hard to make a song like this. the magic is here on this one. this will stand the test of time
I swear this video was made for my wife and I who I met from halfway around the globe. We went through the US immigration process to bring her here from Australia. This always made my heart ache in such a wonderful way. So happy to finally have her.
What did you have her with? Some honey mustard?
That's an amazing story!
Why don't you guys just respect this person?
So beautiful, albeit dark...There is an inherent beauty in sorrow, I think this band understands this, all too well.
Exactly. They are the masters of melancholy.
@@Payne823 They certainly have mastered the use of it in this subgenre of metal music. Opeth has tunes that utilize melancholy in a great way but i think Katatonia has reached an higher tier than them in the use of it. Producing melancholic music is something that Swedish songwriters and producers have in common and it is prevalent in every genre, heavy use of melancholy.
ABBA did it in a masterful way, even some of their upbeat happy songs give the listener that melanholic feeling. Sometimes very subtle. Only in metal music has any band/musicians come close to reaching their tier in melancholic songwriting/sound production. Katatonia certainly in the lead amongst them.
How long
Is the pattern going to speak for you
How far can your voice reach
Your song below the night
From my view
I can see you
Shudder where you are standing
In the vision
Cyan blue
Now
October
This time you won't be needing me
To run along the freeway
To weigh one's heart against the oncoming dark
You left me with the pills
We had plans but you couldn't make it
Through the trees
What took you so long
The high grass
What took you so long
Translate the fire
The venom's rush inside your heart
How long can winter
Colour your every word
And the skyline
Past the houses and the cities
Hyperopia
Carmine red
Now
This river
This time I will
What took you so long
thank you for this! @@MrFinntrollin
I'm not much of lyrics but this guy is amazing
@@MrFinntrollin....... The high grass........ I was so high.
Is there any particular story behind this song/these lyrics?
this is a piece of art
is it just me or does this turn ya in2 one big goosebump!
STOP............ Quality work all round , beautiful production , smooth vocals......... and top marks to that drummer....
It's tight
I saw them live last Saturday. I am still thinking about it ...and I'm sure that I'm gonna think about it forever .. amazing band, spectacular voice.. love them 🖤🖤🖤🖤
So deeply played, so beautifully exposed, a gift. The lyrics are somehow connected to Decima, depicting the a couple who decided to "leave together", but somehow only one could made it.
fantastic band with a very special, great sound!
Amazing band.
Love Katatonia, currently trying to collect all their masterpieces. The song is amazing and that solo gives me goosebumps every time! 💙
I just realised that this might be their best music video, it nails the bleak but beautiful atmosphere. I feel like Katatonia's music is translated really well into album art, but they haven't had much luck with most of their music videos. The two City Burials videos are really good though, that's great.
This is ineffably beautiful. This song is giving me hope and solace in the most difficult days of my life. All my pain makes sense for a few sublime moments.
this song is F amazing...can´t stop listening to it... Katatonia rules.
This song is absolutely beautifully amazing masterpiece!!!!
GREAT SONG !!! I LOVE KATATONIA AND OPETH FROM SWEDEN \ ,,/
This is the band that never disappoint me, album per album is superb
"Lethean"

What a masterpiece
Many of Katatonia albums can make me shed a tear, but that one makes me weep really hard.
Those breaks on 3:20 and 3:25, Jesus, every time give me chills. Fucking amazing!
Lethe by Dark Tranquility and this song, though really different, just sink deep into my heart. Maybe it's because of the theme of forgetfulness and oblivion but I could never get tired of listening to them.
Possibly probably my favorite Katatonia song!
This is my first time hearing this band. This is awesome. I like the way his voice matches the beat. As much of a metal head as I am, I'm confused to how I never heard this band. 😄😅😂🤣. Bands pretty good.
They are not on most platforms, I don’t even remember how I found them, but I love Soilwork so I think it was suggested from only that band. They’re stellar 🤘
20 years and here again
A top five band for me ever since the last fair deal gone down album. Jonas has a voice that conveys emotions beautifully complemented by the minor key maestro Anders
Beautiful.. Swedish steel!
This is perfection on its finest.

(Lago Gris, gothic metal band)..
I'm addicted to dat groove.
This song is dope af!!!
this song is so criminally underrated. damn
Something about the way he says " past the houses and the cities" just rings so nice!
November 2020! I still Love this amazing song!!!
To all of u out there who wanna put this in any genre....lets just go with one word here,and that word is AWESOME.
+DrMcKay66 Love Stargate!!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful
As much as I love heavier bands like Lamb of God and Meshuggah, I feel like it would be a disservice to the entire genre to not state that Katatonia makes the most beautiful music you possibly will ever hear from a metal band.
I sincerely hope that they serve as an inspiration to future bands, and to remind fans of metal that while heavy riffs and blast beats are awesome, they're not everything.
Kat and also Tesseract
Lol everyone has different approach😃. It doesn't matter, if one opts for more musical and other for more complex. Both are best
indeed, Katatonia and Evergrey are 2 beautiful bands that you always can come back to!
I've been hardcore listening on and off on those 2 bands for 15-20 years, they never fail to impress me
Although I'm sure it could be argued (especially with the accoustic concert, which is exceptional), I'd probably give that spot to Alcest.
Opeth: hi
Wooww Amazing Great Song..Have Seen Them Live Here In Sweden Some Years Ago. .They Were Incredible Damn AWESOME. ....♥
That's awesome, u saw them live.🤘🏻🤘🏻
Teddie loves this a lot,awesome band and video. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Still here they are always amazing 💗
These are some powerfull lyrics
This is my first listening to them, and I'm constantly hooked
One of their best tunes !
Well you must remember this band is so much underrated and we,fans are really enjoying to talk about thid♥️
A timeless record. One of my favourites . Looking forward to watch you in Izmir on January, 2020🙏🏻
Aynısı. İzmir'e karşı, aklımdakilere karşı. Çok başka bir şarkı
it's just simply amazing
Sick tune.. Love these guys. New album is wild!
Can't get enough of this beauty! Brilliant made!
Its the first time im listening to this song..
This is heavy and deep asf
The poet of the falls feels.
10 years later. It's still fresh than ever. I regularly coming back here and listen. To find my inner peace and sanity
As a long time Rush/ Dream Theater/ Tool and those ... I'm just so speachless now..😯👌👌... Our Art, our dear prog is alive and well !! ❤️👌💪💪
Translations and meaning running to my head. Im too overwhelmed by songs from this album. Racing heart, ambitions and this. On point.
I am in so much pain. Loving that person beyond words but feeling that your existence and love for him does not hold him back from having suicidal thoughts. I am helpful for nothing, I cannot help anyone. I am just nothing. I came to this world as a blank space and thats what I will ever be.
nicht gud!
Its song is absolutely brilliant! I ve no other words to describe it, Just brilliant!
Beautiful
Beautiful ,sorrowful,haunting music
