Katatonia Perform An Extensive And Majestic Set Of Fan Favourites, Captured During Their 2020 Lockdown Session. Presented On Double Gatefold Vinyl Format. Formed in 1991 by Jonas Renkse & Anders Nyström, and transitioning from early pioneers of the rising black/death/doom movement, to powerhouses of the progressive metallic rock genre, 2020 saw Katatonia present their eleventh studio opus, the poignant 'City Burials', to unanimous acclaim. And so now, following closely in it's footsteps, the Swedish dark rock masters present 'Dead Air' to further immortalise the strangest of times. With a somewhat unforeseen global event transpiring this year which resulted in touring being made all but impossible for artists internationally, Katatonia conducted a more intimate "lockdown" show which was streamed live from Studio Grondahl, Stockholm on May 9th. 'Dead Air' offers fans a full 88-minute set containing 20 tracks from the band's extensive and illustrious repertoire to date, with inclusions spanning two decades of dark progressive greatness, and essentially also debuting three of the 'City Burials' album tracks in a live setting. The recording, mixing & engineering work was orchestrated by David Castillo, notable for his extensive body of work with Katatonia to date, and the performance itself was professionally filmed by Blackbox Video. This edition of 'Dead Air' is presented on double gatefold vinyl format, with artwork from returning, long-running collaborator, Travis Smith.
