Katatonia create music that hits folks right in the feels. Having formed in 1991, the Swedish metal act blends elements of goth rock and doom (with their earlier material featuring elements of death metal). As of today, the band have announced their 12th studio album, titled Sky Void of Stars, and have released a music video for a new song!
Speaking to the band’s upcoming album, the band share the following comment: “Our 12th album, ‘Sky Void of Stars’ is a dynamic journey through vibrant darkness. Born out of yearning for what was lost and not found, the very peripheries of the unreachable, but composed and condensed into human form and presented as sounds and words true to the KATATONIA signum. No stars here, just violent rain.”
Below you can check out the music video for the band’s new song “Atrium.” You can also pre-order Sky Void of Stars as of today via this link here (the album will be out on January 20th, 2023).
Also, starting next month, the band will be hitting the road for an awesome tour! There is a lot to be excited for as a Katatonia fan! We have also included the tracklist and album cover artwork associated with Sky Void of Stars below.
