You should definitely check out Night is The New Day if you like Dead End Kings.

The Great Cold Distance, Night is the New Day, and Dead End Kingsmake quite the trifecta.
All good records, but I prefer the 2 records that preceded them (Viva Emptiness and Last Fair Deal Gone Down). Those are my favorite Katatonia albums.

KATATONIA "Strip Down" Dead End Kings For Pending Release
KATATONIA's Anders 'Blakkheim' Nyström has issued the following update:
"Just done with stripping down the Dead End Kings album to an atmospheric sound void of any metal. Early on we felt it was both peculiar and Interesting how the songs could breathe on their own taking a different minimal approach, so we wanted to go back and explore this in a very spontaneous and unpretentious way. Vocals, keyboards and acoustic guitars are in and distorted guitars/bass and drums are out! Stay tuned for a release date!
And from one big project to another... the next upcoming weeks I'll be spending diggin' into old boxes and transferring ancient VHS cassettes and DV tapes to digital media, so we can finally get goin' on the actual edit on the documentary that will hopefully wrap up the anniversary DVD that's been taken forever!"

Think "Unfurl" and the remix of "Day and Then the Shade," more than likely. I'm anxious to hear this, as I think it's an interesting direction for them.

KATATONIA Announce Dethroned And Uncrowned Album Release Details
"In August 2012, KATATONIA released Dead End Kings, their ninth studio album. The album was the bands most successful to date and cemented the Swedes position as masters of sorrowful metal. Dead End Kings was released on the Peaceville label, the bands home for the past 14 years. In September the band return with Dethroned And Uncrowned, their first release on Kscope, Peacevilles sister label.
According to a press release, many of the ecstatic reviews the Dead End Kings received commented on the fact that the album marked another step in the bands journey towards a more progressive sound. Dethroned and Uncrowned allows them to explore these elements of the record further as they have reworked the album, creating new moods and textures while still staying truthful to the core of the songs.
The album will be available on double LP, download and as 2 disc (CD & DVD-AV) digibook set, which also features a 5.1 surround mix of the album."
