Last year, Katatonia promised they would release a new album this year and here it is. The first details have been revealed and we can start discovering it. Their 10th studio album is entitled The Fall Of Hearts and is set for release on the 20th of May 2016 on Peaceville Records. The desolate artwork was created by long time Katatonia designer and illustrator Travis Smith. You can check it out below as well as a brief teaser and more details.

The Fall Of Hearts was recorded in Stockholm's Studio Gröndahl & Tri-lamb Studio, and was self-produced by Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse. Mixing and mastering duties were carried out by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Ihsahn, Devin Townsend) at Fascination Street Studios, with Karl Daniel Lidén (Switchblade, The Ocean, Greenleaf) brought in as engineer.

This is the first record to feature new drummer Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen and with the addition of their recently recruited guitarist Roger Öjersson (Tiamat).




"This album is probably everything we unknowingly ever dreamed of to release. It's a bleak but adventurous journey through our elements, we haven't held back, we have pushed to get forward and backward in the ever spiraling night of our musical legacy." Katatonia comment on the album.
