‘Night Is The New Day’ was Katatonia’s eighth studio album, recorded throughout July 2009 & was co-produced, engineered & mixed by David Castillo.

An extension of the heaviness, depth & atmosphere featured on their previous outing, ‘Night Is The New Day’ was also a more dynamic effort - moving between prog grandeur, ambient melancholy, folk delicacy & 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. The artwork appears courtesy of longtime collaborator Travis Smith (Katatonia, Opeth).

Formed in 1991 by Anders Nyström & Jonas Renske their debut album, ‘Dance Of December Souls’, was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride as one of the genre’s defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined & structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became third album ‘Discouraged Ones’; the main evolution points for modern day Katatonia.

This edition of 'Night Is The New Day' marks the album's fifteenth anniversary & is presented on special red/black marble vinyl, featuring a new half-speed master courtesy of Air studios.
