KATATONIA – To Release Concert Film In March

Sweden’s KATATONIA is set to release new concert film “Sanctitude” on March 30th in the U.K. and March 31st in North America.

In September 2013, Kscope released “Dethroned & Uncrowned,” a reworking of the band’s 2012 epic “Dead End Kings” (originally released on Kscope’s sister label Peaceville). “Dethroned & Uncrowned” allowed Katatonia the opportunity to explore a more progressive sound, creating new moods and textures while still staying truthful to the core of the original songs.

Katatonia took “Dethroned & Uncrowned” on the road in Europe for the first time in May 2014 under the moniker “Unplugged & Reworked.” The band presented an intimate acoustic evening, performing tracks from the album alongside atmospheric classics from Katatonia’s entire career, stripped and reworked. Each venue, on the tour, was carefully chosen for its unique atmosphere. The group was joined on guitar & vocals by The Pineapple Thief frontman and songwriter Bruce Soord.

“Sanctitude” is a concert film filmed and recorded in the stunning candle-lit setting of London’s Union Chapel. The 80 minute set features 17 songs across the albums “The Great Cold Distance,” “Viva Emptiness,” “Brave Murder Day,” “Last Fair Deal Gone Down” and of course, “Dead End Kings / Dethroned & Uncrowned.” The show closes with the sublime “The One You Are Looking For Is Not Here” and a special guest appearance by Norwegian vocalist Silje Wergeland of Dutch legends The Gathering.

Katatonia’s Anders Nyström comments on the release: “As a band we set out on uncharted waters but while apprehensive about the journey ahead our intentions couldn’t have been more genuine to undertake this beautiful experience. Sailing this project into harbour turned out to be bliss and has ultimately enriched all the members of Katatonia.”
