KATATONIA To Release Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State Album In June; Official Video For First Single “Lilac” Posted​

"... Swedish grandeurs of melancholic heaviness, Katatonia, return with Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State, set for release on June 6 via Napalm Records.

Once again, the Stockholm-based unit masterfully navigates the tightrope act between nocturnal darkness and Scandinavian despair while subtly weaving a sense of hope into the listener’s heart. Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State marks the next step in Katatonia’s evolution, building upon the foundation of their previous album, Sky Void of Stars (2023) and also is an introduction to their two new guitarists. Katatonia in 2025 is composed of vocalist and founding member Jonas Renkse, bassist Niklas Sandin, drummer Daniel Moilanen, and guitarists Nico Elgstrand and Sebastian Svalland....Pre-order here.

We are proud and excited to announce our new album, Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State, coming out via Napalm Records on June 6. As always, these songs are the stories that thrive in the corner of the eye, obscured by the light but waiting to come alive in the dusk of our morbid existence. Please enjoy the first scent – ‘Lilac’.
