Katatonia presents first single off upcoming album, “City Burials”

Swedish dark progressive rock/metal act Katatonia will release their new album, “City Burials”, on April 24th via Peaceville Records.

Guitarist Anders Nyström comments: “In days and nights of black and silver, the dead-end king will come. From pieces of broken mirrors there will be a crown bestowed upon his head. In reflections of shattered glass not only the seasons will turn, but also the change disguised by the lapse of time. His mind will have to come to bear the weight of everything that was left behind and forgotten. Archiving the inaccessible. Celebrating the abandoned and mourning the destroyed. The city burials.”

The first single, “Lacquer”, is now available to stream, listen to it here:

“City Burials” is an album that sees the band reclaim part of their heavy metal roots, via several moments of exuberant, old-school classicism, deftly woven into these new songs’ kaleidoscopic fabric.

“City Burials” will be released on CD, deluxe mediabook CD with bonus tracks, black and coloured vinyl LPs with bonus track and digitally (digital pre-orders receive “Lacquer” as an instant download).
