Be a king or queen in your own right in these hallways, even at the dead end. Carry your burden with pride. That’s what we are doing, twenty years and counting. Kings, because we believe in what we are creating, in our own disturbing faith."
— Jonas Renkse
The Katatonia of 2012 is more potent, focused, and creatively impactful than ever before. Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström – alongside guitarist Per Eriksson, bassist Niklas Sandin and drummer Daniel Liljekvist – are at the peak of their powers right now, and their brand new studio album Dead End Kings provides incontrovertible evidence of their unstoppable artistic momentum. A rich, adventurous and endlessly evocative masterwork that exhibits all the Swedish quintet’s established traits while absorbing countless fresh ideas into that monumental sonic brew, this is plainly the strongest and most beguiling album in the Katatonia catalogue to date. It also proves that sadness comes in many shades and that no one is safe from its cold allure. “Dead End Kings represents progression and taking things to the next level,” says Renkse. ”The writing was a little more intense and spontaneous for this one. I think that’s the biggest difference. But it was made with the same mindset as the last few albums. It just had a little more fire involved. We don’t want to repeat ourselves. We are still hungry for new music."

Katatonia Lyrics
Ambitions Hear my thin voice Hear my words fall down See my ambitions…
Buildings Think Of the days when I had too much Of the things…
Dead Letters Vexation Internal void My dreams are getting darker and da…
First Prayer In the prayer Can't seem to find the right words But we…
Hypnone You will never rest Until the stars burn out My day is…
Leech So solitary You have been Your time starts to fade Distorted…
Lethean How long Is the pattern going to speak for you How far…
The Act of Darkening So dark Once an amusement park Troubled whispers sound On…
The One You Are Looking for Is Not Here This breaking vow Rest so near my tongue Anchor on the cloud…
The Parting In the weak light I saw you becoming the lie Taking it…
The Racing Heart White sun Spring of wealth Come for a good time It's not wha…
Undo You With life's four-way stop The tinges in your shadow drop Fat…
