New Katatonia album project

[BrettT]

This seems pretty damned cool. Dead End Kings has really grown on me, and I think this will definitely showcase the strong points of the album:

Anders had mentioned a while back that Steven Wilson was going to be working on the project with them. I'm curious if this is still the case. Regardless, I'll be buying this.

I think it will be great. I feel like the strongest stuff on DEK is the more ambient stuff so I'm excited to hear them explore that angle.

Perfect Idea, I love this album, and I know they are gonna do it right because all their calm and ambiance driven songs are incredible. Really, really looking forward to this, and I will pledge ASAP !

Awesome. DEK is one of the best releases of the last few years in my opinion.

Reviving this thread with the release of the first lyric video from the Dethroned & Uncrowned project.

I'm liking it. Easy first choice for a release as it's one of the softer songs on Dead End Kings and it's ambient aspects were already extremely present. Already have my pre-order in with Amazon for it's release on September 10th.

Very interested to hear the rest of this. I love almost everything they've done over the last few records, but I have to say I miss drums on this.... I wish they'd incorporated some drumkit elements but without making them heavy. In more of an Opeth 'Deliverance" vibe.

Either way his singing is incredible enough almost just on it's own, so I'll still give it plenty of attention.

I dig the track, but I'm definitely missing the drums. He's one of my favorite drummers, and adds so much to the band.

I think you meant Damnation?

This is gonna be awesome, totally getting it.

Ha Ha of course I did... WTF was I drunk or something? Considering it's one of my favorite records....
