October Tide To Support Katatonia

Swedish death metal band October Tide has issued the following press release:

We are pleased to announce that October Tide will support Katatonia on Saturday December 4th at Göta Källare in Stockholm, Sweden. The ties between Katatonia and October Tide are too obvious to even explain, so we leave it as a unique opportunity to catch both bands performing together for one evening.

All upcoming October Tide shows:

04.12 2010 SWE – Stockholm – Göta Källare
11.12 2010 SWE – Söderhamn – Julslakten

21.01 2011 FIN – Turku – Klubi
22.01 2011 FIN – Jyväskylä – Lutakko

More shows to be announced soon.

Formed in 1995 by then KATATONIA guitarist Fredrik Norrman and Katatonia/Bloodbath vocalist Jonas Renkse October Tide quickly made a mark with two albums recorded and released during the years 1997 and 1999. Their new album “A Thin Shell” is out now through Candlelight Records.

Recorded at Black Lounge studios with producer Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry) and featuring artwork by Travis Smith (Opeth, Testament etc) “A Thin Shell” delivers what fans have anxiously awaited from this treasured band. Seven doom-laden and emotive songs that are every bit as heavy as they are catchy fill the impressive recording that officially closes the band’s self-imposed, decade-long hiatus.

October Tide line-up :

Fredrik Norrman – guitars (ex-KATATONIA)
Tobias Netzell – vocals (IN MOURNING)
Robin Bergh – drums (AMARAN)
Emil Alstermark – guitars (MANDYLON)
Pierre Stam – bass (IN MOURNING)
