Katatonia Entering Studio Next Week

by | Jan 28, 2012

Katatonia will enter the studio on Monday with David Castillo to begin tracking their next studio album.

Speaking on new material, the band stated “Well, you got the lush textures, the moody melodies, the heavy parts, the progressive touches, the mellow bits and so on… Is it metal? Is it rock? Is it alternative? Is it singer/songwriter? Actually at times it feels like we’re exploring territories where Katatonia would be an orphan in the land of ‘genres’. We can’t tell where and to whom we belong and the goal is that it doesn’t even matter, because before and above any genre there’s first an acceptance level of music being good, or being bad. Katatonia might be bad people, but we create good music. Amen.”
