Dead Air

by Katatonia

supported by

Anders M. Nordli One of the greatest live albums released.

One thing I hate, is censorship. :/ Why is it censored? It ruins the experience of the song. Ex.: Old Heart Fails around 3:30. There's also some "sound artifacts" at the end of said song. Favorite track: Ghost Of The Sun (Dead Air Session).

evolgrinder SO good to hear the great band live, again. Loving the album, even with little feckups the quality is awesome. All my fav tracks are there and I have to say... "For every dream thats left behind me, I take a bow! TY!

Shayne Dey Katatonia, what can you say? Brilliant album after brilliant album. One of my all time favourite bands. I’d already pre-ordered the CD/DVD and vinyl but living on the other side of the world means I’ve got a long wait ahead. No option but to buy the digital too, I’m not known for patience and I need this now. Favorite track: Tonight's Music (Dead Air Session).

g-unit1111 With COVID-19 bringing the touring industry to a grinding halt, Katatonia gave us a reason to love concerts again. Recorded before people really knew how to utilize the live stream format, Katatonia recorded an entire live performance from Stockholm's Grandia Studios and it was masterful. No audiences? No problem! Favorite track: Forsaker (Dead Air Session).

about

KATATONIA PERFORM AN EXTENSIVE AND MAJESTIC SET OF FAN FAVOURITES, CAPTURED DURING THEIR 2020 LOCKDOWN SESSION

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 its 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 tracklisting itself contains a very literal selection of fan favourites overall, having being voted for exclusively by the band’s worldwide fanbase, flawlessly flirting between earlier singles such as metallic anthems ‘My Twin’ & ‘July’, to the stirring emotional grandeur of new song, ‘Lacquer’.

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.

It doesn't matter which Katatonia you like, you'll find something to love in this record. And if you're like me and love the sum total of this band's take on depressive, Gothic-tinged metal, then the whole thing is a winner. gebs
