Summer Breeze - August 18th, 2018: Bloodbath is a supergroup featuring members of Katatonia, Opeth and Paradise Lost. The Swedish-British combo plays flawless Death Metal. In 2014, Paradise Lost singer Nick Holmes took over after Åkerfeldt had to leave again in 2012. With the gothic metal hero as a shouter, Bloodbath sound darker than ever. The towers also trembled at Summer Breeze 2018 in Dinkelsbühl in Middle Franconia.

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, including fan favourite ‘Teargas’. 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.

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 9th May. ‘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.

'Last Fair Day Gone Night' features the Swedish dark rock/metal masters at their glorious best with this electrifying set from London's esteemed Koko venue. Recorded during a series of special celebratory shows to mark the band's 20th anniversary during 2011's Last Fair Day Gone Night tour, founding members Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse are joined by drummer Daniel Liljekvist, plus guitarist Per Eriksson and bassist Niklas Sandin, for an exhilarating evening fuelled by a rich and extensive set of Katatonia tracks both past and present. Also includes a special 10th anniversary performance of the landmark 2001 album 'Last Fair Deal Gone Down' in its entirety. Sleeve artwork comes courtesy of long-time collaborator Travis Smith.
