"Night Is The New Day" is the long-awaited new studio album of transcendental, atmospheric rock and metal, exploring the darker corners of audial melancholy. It was recorded throughout July 2009 and was co-produced, engineered and mixed by
David Castillo. A continuation of the heaviness, depth and atmosphere of their previous album,
"Night Is The New Day" is also a more multi-dimensional effort — waltzing between prog moments, doom, folk & the classic melodic anthems that are the staple of
KATATONIA's uncompromising sound, completed by the haunting tones of
Jonas Renkse's vocal journeys of urban and emotional decay. Cover art once again comes courtesy of
Travis Smith (
KATATONIA,
OPETH,
NOVEMBRE) and continues the stylistic identity established so effectively since
"The Great Cold Distance".
