KATATONIA Stays Somber On New Single “Temporal”

Katatonia – now without founding guitarist Anders Nyström – is streaming their predictably somber new single “Temporal” from their upcoming record Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State, due out June 6. If you need a preemptive soundtrack for the eventual fall weather, here it is!

Katatonia in 2025 is classic members vocalist and founding member Jonas Renkse, bassist Niklas Sandin, drummer Daniel Moilanen alongside guitarists Nico Elgstrand (ex-Entombed) and Sebastian Svalland (ex-In Mourning).

”Temporal, when the enchantment is gone,” said Renkse. “When riffing is on, the combination offers no solace other than the pleasure of the vicious circle & the colours of the night. Enjoy.”

Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State was produced by Jonas Renkse, recorded by Lawrence Mackrory at NBS Audio and The City of Glass, mixed by Adam Noble, and mastered by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering. Pre-orders are available here. You can also catch Katatonia at one of their live appearances below. Tickets are available here.
