Release : 19-6-2026
With Night Is the New Day, Katatonia delivered one of the most layered and atmospheric albums of their career. Originally released in 2009, the Swedish band combines melancholic metal and progressive influences with dark, immersive melodies. The result is an album that can sound remarkably heavy while retaining its restrained and emotional character.
Jonas Renkse's distinctive vocals take centre stage on tracks such as “Forsaker”, “The Longest Year”, “Idle Blood” and “Day and Then the Shade”. Electronics, acoustic passages and massive guitars blend seamlessly throughout the record, giving Night Is the New Day its rich and modern sound. It remains a standout release from Katatonia's later era and an album perfectly suited to vinyl.
This 2026 re-issue on crystal clear vinyl presents Night Is the New Day in a striking new edition and makes an excellent addition to any Katatonia vinyl collection.
