Katatonia has issued the following press release:

Northern Music Co., in association with The Agency Group are proud to announce five very special European shows to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Swedish masters of melancholy Katatonia.  With performances in Luxembourg, Germany, Holland, France and England the band will perform two sets at each show; the first set will see the band play ´Last Fair Deal Gone Down´ front to back the album that put them firmly on the musical map. The second set will consist of a mixed set of carefully picked songs from their extensive catalogue. In its entirety the show will be well over two hours of live music.

Front man and lead guitarist Anders Nyström had the following to say:

“Who could believe that Katatonia would make it all this way, 20 years down the road… It’s quite amazing that 2011 will give us the chance to celebrate an anniversary most marriages don’t reach! Another pleasant coincidence is that our classic album ‘Last Fair Deal Gone Down’ has just grown a decade old itself, so what do we do, you ask? Well, THAT! We have decided to re-visit ‘Last Fair Deal Gone Down’ for the first time ever in its entirety and also to take the chance of digging up some of the more obscure songs that we’ve never or rarely played live while blinding in some well known classics from the rest of our catalogue. We hope you’ll come and join us in this special celebration as this shall be a one-time opportunity to witness the Last Fair Day Gone Night!”

The band will offer exclusive VIP ticket packages, limited to only 70 for each show which will include a laminated VIP pass exclusive to the show, access to sound check, a meet & greet with Katatonia, a t-shirt exclusive to that particular show, a special tour programme and a very special limited edition vinyl of their latest opus ´Night is The New Day´ amongst other exclusive items.

All the goods will be included in a specially made Katatonia messenger bag. The VIP laminate will also allow early access to venues so that VIP’s can get the best seats in the house.  In addition all 350 VIP´s will automatically be entered into a draw for one lucky VIP to win a grand prize made available by a selection of the band´s equipment endorsers.

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
15.01 2011 NL – Arnhem – Willemeen

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)
