KATATONIA Preparing To Enter 'Writing/Pre-Production Mode'

October 3, 2007

Swedish metallers KATATONIA have issued the following update:

"Our first-ever North American headline tour has been successfully completed and we’re just back home fighting the jetlag as always. Again, a long but also eventful, surprisingly smooth and easy ride on the road all thanks to our partners in the support bands and the crew. A big up goes out to all our old and new fans who came to see the shows and hang out with the 'KATZ' — thanks for all your support! A special cheerz goes out to the fans in Mexico who gave us a welcome we won't forget soon. See you next time!

"As this tour wraps up the touring the cycle for 'The Great Cold Distance', the band will now enter writing/pre-production mode and keep busy doing the work for the next album, so the live activity will be kept to a minimum with only a few occasional one-off gigs scheduled until the end of the year."

KATATONIA's live performance from last year's Summer Breeze open-air festival in Germany was released as a double-disc live album/DVD, entitled "Live Consternation", on May 28. The "super jewelcase" packaging features both the audio on CD and the show on DVD (including both 2.0 and 5.1 versions). The artwork was once again designed by Travis Smith and closes the visual concept for "The Great Cold Distance" phase.

KATATONIA's video for the song "July", shot and directed by Charlie Granberg, has been posted online at YouTube.com.

Watch fan-filmed video footage of KATATONIA performing the song "Evidence" at this year's Brutal Assault festival, which took place August 9-11 at the Old Army Fortress Josefov in Jaromer, Czech Republic:
