More about 'Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State'

Swedish grandeurs of melancholic heaviness, Katatonia, return with "Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State," set for release on June 6, 2025 via Napalm Records. Once again, the Stockholm-based unit masterfully navigates the tightrope act between nocturnal darkness and Scandinavian despair while subtly weaving a sense of hope into the listener’s heart. Since emerging in the early nineties, Katatonia has projected a beacon of light for the forgotten and the lonely ones, offering solace to those willing to lose themselves in the band’s immersive soundscapes. From their roots in death-doom metal to the post-metal entity they embody today, their art remains as haunting as ever.

"Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State" marks the next step in Katatonia's evolution, building upon their previous album "Sky Void of Stars" (2023). Crystal-clear production highlights silence and intensity interplay while contrasting heavy riffs with delicate guitar harmonies. Tracks like "Thrice" and "Warden" pulse with dynamic energy. Atop hypnotic rhythms and progressive elements rests Jonas Renkse's unmistakable voice. A near-ceremonial piece like "Wind of No Change" merges electronic textures with enigmatic soundscapes, while "Temporal" balances fragility and strength—culminating in an emotionally charged chorus. The breathtaking "Efter Solen," featuring Swedish lyrics evokes echoes of Jonas Eika’s short story collection with minimalistic yet striking instrumentation.
