New pic and some info on the album 
With such a monumental album to follow, it was 2009 before Katatonia was ready to enter the studio for their eagerly awaited eighth studio album, Night is the New Day. It was recorded throughout July 2009 & was co-produced, engineered and mixed by David Castillo. Recording was divided between Studio Mega ( for drums) and Ghost Ward Studios, where most recording took place & which provided a dose of inspiration from the darker corners of life with its choice of location, as Anders describes:
Broken glass, blood on the walls at the front door to the building and threatening messages written on the elevator - Even excrement and urine on the floor in the basement that makes you wonder if the caretaker is a serial killer himself
Mastering was completed at Fascination Street Studios (where The Great Cold Distance was recorded) with Jens Bogren.
A continuation of the heaviness, depth & atmosphere of their previous album, Night Is the New Day is also a more multi-dimensional effort - waltzing between prog moments, doom, folk & the classic melodic anthems that are the staple of Katatonias uncompromising sound, completed by the haunting tones of Jonas Renkses journeys of urban & emotional decay, & now joined by Frank Default on keyboards, notable for his work on the track Unfurl from the July EP - utilising his expertise to the fullest to texture the soundscapes.
