Katatonia to release new album in October

[The Ozzman]

From their MySpace:

We've been very busy lately writing and completing the material for our 8th studio album and we're proud to announce that Katatonia will enter the studio this summer, starting in a studio in the south of Sweden with drums courtesy of Daniel on June the 10th. We'll then continue on the remainder of the sessions in a studio here in Stockholm further through july and wrap it up in august.
We'll keep the info short for now as we'll launch a studio diary to give you all the in-depth information and details on the album making incl album/song-titles, audio teasers, album artwork and also our tour plans along the recording process. We can already confirm that initially 13 tracks will be recorded and a selection of 11-12 songs will make it onto the album. We got a few big surprises to reveal and we're confident this material is our most varied, diverse and possibly strongest shit all together on one and the same album. The release date is set for late October on Peaceville.

Great news. I overplayed TGCD and need something new. I've listened to Brave Murder Day especially ridiculous ammounts of times.

 

[The Ozzman]

I overplayed TGCD as well. Viva Emptiness I feel is their best

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Nice, hope it's a bit more metal this time around. But I do enjoy all of their work.

Each album has a few songs that are just ass good as stuff from others. I think TGCD is better overall than VE though.

Best sing along Metal ever..

Viva Emptiness and Last Fair Deal Gone down Are my favorites.

Wasn't the biggest fan of TGCD...but it did grow on me.

It be cool if they added Growls again and incorporate something different this time.

 

[divine_torture]

Best ever.

Fixed.

 

[Doomguy]

I'm stoked; legendary artist.

[Belligerent]

[Alteredmindeath]

[Belligerent]

[IntoPhagist]

Haha Why? I love singing along with Katatonia.

 

[divine_torture]

I'm not disagreeing, just letting everyone know they are the best.

And I'm 98% sure this will be my number one album of the year.

Yes this will probably totally rule and Katatonia is indeed the best band ever (except for LFDGD).
