Katatonia announced last Tuesday, the 8th, their new album Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State . The album will be released on June 6th, 2025 by Napalm Records .
The Swedish band also released the new single and music video for “Lilac”. Vocalist Jonas Renkse commented: “We are proud and excited to announce our new album. As always, these songs are the stories that thrive in the corner of our eye, obscured by the light, but waiting to come to life in the twilight of our morbid existence. Please enjoy the first scent, 'Lilac'.”
This work marks a new phase for the band, with the introduction of two new guitarists. Katatonia now consists of vocalist and founding member Jonas Renkse, bassist Niklas Sandin , drummer Daniel Moilanen , and guitarists Nico Elgstrand and Sebastian Svalland .
Last month, Katatonia announced on their social media the departure of guitarist and founder Anders Nyström after more than three decades of collaboration.
