“They say every night has it’s dawn, we say night is the new day!”

Katatonia, the Swedish masters of melancholy, are set to return with their follow-up to 2006’s groundbreaking album, ‘The Great Cold Distance’.

It can now be revealed that the latest opus is to be titled ‘Night Is the New Day’, with the band currently well along the road to completion of their eighth studio album.

‘Night Is the New Day’ will be released on October 19th (US – October 27th) on Peaceville Records.

Keep a look-out for the upcoming launch of www.nightisthenewday.com for exclusives & announcements on the final cover artwork, final tracklisting and the release of the new single.

Awsome, I dont know if I like the title but who cares about a title?

Haha the title made me think about vampires, perhaps they will start to dress up like vampires and drink tomato juice on stage

 

[Nehebkau]

Yeah, the album title isn't too exciting

 

[daimonion]

Don't really like the title.

Not that the title matters much anyway, but...

 

[Lord Byron]

Don't really like the title.

Not that the title matters much anyway, but...

Ditto. It sounds a little too awkward.

 

[Dora]

it's trendy

[Kitiini]

pretty odd

 

[MadTinus]

I kinda like it actually, it's a bit less cryptic than their previous titles.

Can't wait to see the cover artwork.

"Night Is The New Day" !!!
Finally there will be proof to what I've known ever since! (;
Admittedly it may sound awkward at first, but I think it has a pleasant sound and somehow it fits Katatonia, no?!

19th of October, eh... so that's something to live on for... if excitement's not gonna kill before that...

 

[daimonion]

Btw: An entire page dedicated to album updates?

Me liiikes...

 

[i aint play this]

Hmm awesome. Not a fan of the title but I just want the music to rock.

 

[MiniMoose]

Hmm..are they kidding with us maybe?
I wonder...of course, every title can work in the right context. This is also on the katatonia site now:

Hmm..
I think it kind of disappears in the entire *something* is the new *something* formula, which doesn't make it too memorable or original.
But I'd rather wait to see if it would fit the album or not

 

[Srontgorrth]

Album title seems sort of odd but I really want to see the artwork.

 

[Lateralus14]

Sentence titles/bandnames as a general rule are mostly shit.

 

[doom_death]

Well, it sounds kinda cheesy, but it's rather good anyway, I'm sure it will be great in the combination with artwork ;-)

 

[daimonion]

I find if i take it as a tounge-in-cheek title, it kinda works.

 

[InsaneKat]

I think it does fit the Katatonia album titles. Their album titles don't really sound how I would expect a Katatonia album title to sound after hearing the music, therefore it fits perfectly! If that makes any sense.

 

[BlueSky]

Not really a fan of this title, but I'm sure the music will rock, and that's all that really matters.

OCT 27th woot!!

Although it's not what I expected, It actually sounds better than Last Fair Deal Gone Down...I don't care anyway, the music will be excellent as always
