Katatonia and Sólstafir have announced a co-headline tour of the United Kingdom and Europe for early 2023. The Twilight Burials Tour will include 31 dates, beginning on January 20th and ending on February 24th.

The coming together of these two revered masters of melancholy seems only natural. For over a quarter of a century, both artists have favored the emotional connection that their music brings over all else. Theirs is a world where “heavy” is a force of nature; where progress comes from within, outwardly changing their musical output into something almost unrecognizable from the extreme metal that carried it in the early days.

The tour will see both bands playing their own headline sets and will be supported by the up-and-coming British post-hardcore band SOM on select dates.

Speaking on the announcement, Katatonia said, “With over a year now since we played our last live show, it’s an understatement that we want to get back on stage. Add to that an album released during the pandemic with no ways to promote it through touring, it is with a good portion of hope we present you this European tour together with Iceland’s own Sólstafir. Even though a return to normality is joyous, why not celebrate it with some melancholy? This tour will bring a lush twilight shadow over Europe. Join it!”

Swedish metal band Katatonia was founded in 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden, by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nystroem. The band started playing black metal but has since become a melancholy metal outfit with influences from progressive, doom, and gothic metal. The group has released twelve studio albums, numerous singles, and extended plays throughout the course of its thirty-year history.

Black metal was a significant influence on Katatonia’s early works, namely their debut album ‘Dance of December Souls’ (1993), and the EP ‘Jhva Elohim Meth’ (1994), which featured a dark, atmospheric sound and lyrical themes centered on death, sadness, and darkness.

As the band’s sound progressed, they began to incorporate more progressive and doom metal elements, with their music becoming more melodic and less aggressive. This approach can be heard in albums such as ‘Last Fair Deal Gone Down’ (2001), ‘Viva Emptiness’ (2003), and ‘The Great Cold Distance’ (2006).

Katatonia made a comeback in February 2020, and their eleventh studio album, ‘City Burials,’ was released in April of the same year. The band continued to sound melancholy while embracing a more orchestral, progressive style on ‘City Burials.’

The band themselves produced the album, with Karl Daniel Lidén doing the engineering, and Jacob Hansen handling the mixing and mastering. Lasse Hoile provided the album’s artwork, which depicts the continued reign of the ‘Dead End King.’

The Ocean Collective and Cellar Darling provided support for Katatonia’s headline North American tour of 2022 in support of ‘City Burials.’ The tour started on November 9th in Washington, DC, continued through December with stops in a number of significant cities, and ended on December 10th in Tampa, Florida.

In other news, the date for the arrival of Katatonia’s constantly evolving, eagerly anticipated new album, ‘ Sky Void of Stars ,’ has been announced. We are already taking preorders for the record, which will be available through our shop on January 20th, 2023. If you count ‘ Dethroned & Uncrowned ,’ the band’s 12th studio album, ‘Sky Void of Stars,’ will undoubtedly go down in history as a masterpiece.

Speaking on the new album, the band says, “Our 12th album, ‘Sky Void of Stars,’ is a dynamic journey through vibrant darkness. Born out of yearning for new horizons and a desire to break the restraints of expectations, we have crafted a record that stands out as a testament to our resilience.”

The album features ten tracks of pure, melancholic metal and is sure to captivate fans of the band’s signature sound.

Katatonia has released an atmospheric performance music video for their brand new single, ‘Birds,’ which harnesses the song’s energy and desolate power, creating a truly captivating experience which can be seen below.

Lead vocalist Jonas Renkse comments on the single: “The pulse of dereliction. The insatiable need to expire. Here come the birds.”

The quick and energetic sound of this brand-new track once again shows off Katatonia’s explosive potential and their genre-bending style, carried by Renkse’s longing vocals, with the band promising more singles to follow in the coming weeks.

Sólstafir is an Icelandic post-metal band formed in 1995 in Reykjavík. The band is known for its unique blend of metal, folk, and ambient music, which they have referred to as “Icelandic metal.” Over the course of their twenty-five-year career, the band has released seven studio albums, numerous singles, and EPs, and has toured extensively throughout the world.

The band’s early work was heavily influenced by black metal, with their debut album ‘Í Blóði og Anda’ (2002) featuring a raw, aggressive sound combined with clean melodic vocals. This sound evolved on their second album ‘Masterpiece of Bitterness’ (2005), which featured a more polished production and a more comprehensive range of influences, including folk and progressive rock.

Sólstafir’s sound continued to evolve on their third album, ‘Köld’ (2009), which featured a more atmospheric and ambient sound, incorporating elements of post-metal and shoegaze. This sound was further explored on their fourth album ‘Svartir Sandar’ (2011) and fifth album ‘Ótta’ (2014), both of which featured a more melodic and introspective approach.

The band’s sixth album ‘Berdreyminn’ (2017), marked a return to a more aggressive sound while still maintaining the band’s signature blend of metal, folk, and ambient music. The band’s latest album ‘ Endless Twilight of Codependent Love ’ (2020), features the band’s most expansive and mature sound to date, combining elements of post-rock, progressive metal, and folk music.

Icelandic Sólstafir’s latest album was their ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love,’ released on November 6th, 2020, via Season of Mist .

The album was the band’s seventh studio effort and featured nine tracks of mind-bending metal, perfect for fans of both metal and melancholic music.

The album was recorded at Sundlaugin, Audio Grni, and Gotta, featuring art by renowned artist Johann Baptist Zwecker, and the album was set to be a multi-faceted masterpiece.

Sólstafir has been pioneering the melodic yet heavy sound for over two decades, and ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love’ was set to cement their legacy as one of the most innovative heavy-metal bands of all time.

To support the release of ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love,’ Sólstafir will embark on a co-headline tour of the United Kingdom and Europe with Katatonia in 2023, as stated aforementioned.

Tickets for the tour are now on sale, with the tour kicking off on January 20th in Tampere, Finland. The tour will visit several major cities throughout the continent, coming to an end on February 25th in Stockholm, Sweden.

Fans can purchase tickets for the tour and find more information at Bandsintown .

KATATONIA And SÓLSTAFIR Announce Tour Dates For 2022

Katatonia

KATATONIA and SÓLSTAFIR will head out in January and February 2022 on a 31-date co-headline tour of the UK and Europe.

The coming together of these two revered masters of melancholy seems only natural. For over a quarter of a century both artists have favoured the emotional connection that their music brings over all else. Theirs is a world where ‘heavy’ is a force of nature; where progress comes from within, outwardly changing their musical output into something almost unrecognizable from the extreme metal that carried it in the early days. 

The BBC’s description of KATATONIA ‘s “grandiose, majestic beauty” seems appropriate for both artists. It’s no coincidence that The Guardian’s take on SÓLSTAFIR is equally apt: “total immersion is compulsory”. 

A full list of tour dates can be seen below.

This immense tour will see Katatonia taking their most studio album, CITY BURIALS, out on the road as their touring plans, like many bands had to be put on hold.

Jonas Renkse comments “ With over a year now since we played our last live show, it’s an understatement that we want to get back on stage.

solstafir katatonia tour

The Marble Factory, 12th February

Just like the Icelandic culture, from where the band emerged, has waved goodbye to the old gods & ushered in the new, Sólstafir have embraced transition.

From their roots steeped in black metal the band, who’s name translates to Sun Beams In Icelandic, have evolved a rich & complex sound over the past 25 plus years. Never afraid to push boundaries & bring about a soundscape that wouldn’t be out of place as a backdrop to any fantasy adventure film with epic, sprawling, landscape scenes.

With 7 studio albums to draw from the set was never going to be short of content. Added to which the average length of a individual Sólstafir track isn’t much short of ten minutes. Every song feeling like part of a cinematic score rather than a single, standalone piece of music.

The four Vikings, Aðalbjörn “Addi” Tryggvason (guitarist/singer), 

Sæþór Maríus “Pjúddi” Sæþórsson (2nd guitarist),  Svavar “Svabbi” Austmann (Bass) &  Hallgrímur Jón “Grimsi” Hallgrímsson (Drums) set about building something epic the moment they strode on to the Marble Factory stage.

Just like the bands sound has built block by block over the years, adding non-metal elements such as strings & piano, so did their performance.

From a mysterious start in deep blue light & smoke to a fully lit & interactive experience by the end.

Addi admitted he wasn’t sure what to expect from the Bristol crowd at the start, but by the end the crowd were roaring with approval and Addi & the band were in full flow. Bassist Svavar “Svabbi” Austmann wielding his instrument like a long sword. Addi jumping off stage to tightrope walk the entire length of the pit barrier. Before dropping to the arena floor to fist bump every single person in the disabled section.

You’d be forgiven for expecting a Sólstafir live show to be a brooding atmosphere (which it was in parts) based on their live recordings, but this band were charming & engaging throughout. Thoroughly & richly deserving of the ovation they received at the end.

As a side note I would pay the admission fee alone just to watch some of the guitar work. Absolute masters of their craft.

Lost in the mist…

The lights go out, the fog roles in thicker than James Herbert could have ever imagined for his horror novel. A emerald green hue replaces the black void. And the silhouette of Jonas Renkse, lead vocalist of Swedish metal band Katatonia cuts through the haze.

The self styled non conformists of metal certainly know how to make an entrance. To be fair after being at the top of Northern European rock & metal for over 30 years how could they not. The line up may have changed like a revolving door over the years. The sound ebed and flowed across the genres like a Viking long boat on the North Sea, but the constant is the live show Katatonia provide.

Pushing the sound & lighting of one of the best Bristol music venues to its max. And captivating and enthralling the packed crowd below them.

Brand new release “Sky Void Of Stars” is drawn upon heavily as you’d expect from the doom metal heads turned melodic rockers. “Austerity” (how apt) and “Colossal Shade” provide our openers in a show that was designed to test even the hardiest camera sensors strobe effectiveness. The band cutting incredible shapes into the mist and their darkness provides great contrast to the eye watering brilliance of the stage lighting.

The extensive back catalogue is drawn upon in the 75 min long set. With crowd rapturous renditions of “My Twin”, “Untrodden” and “Behind The Blood”. And we go waaaaay back with a sumptuous encore that concludes with “Evidence” from 2003’s “Viva Emptiness”.

The mood, stage lighting and darker lyrics in sharp contrast to the band who seem genuinely touched by the reception given by the packed crowd.

Post Rock / Metal - Iceland

Sólstafir Band

A quarter of a century after singer/guitarist Aðalbjörn “Addi” Tryggvason co-founded atmospheric Icelandic metal quartet Sólstafir, they continue to follow their cardinal rule – that there are no rules. For them, writing an epic 10-minute song without a traditional verse/chorus trade-off feels natural. While they have done two albums in English, he mainly sings in their native tongue and his vocals are as much an instrument as a vessel for words. Their videos equally showcase the band and their Icelandic world that they commune with.

And their music flows however it pleases. “Having been a metal band for a long time and gone through shoegaze, atmospheric black metal, and post rock, I just feel privileged being able to mix all my favorite genres and get away with it,” says Tryggvason. In the world of Sólstafir, artists as varied as The Beatles, Kraftwerk, Darkthrone, Ennio Morricone, and Billy Corgan swirl inside their heads, and such influences seep into their musical ether. Funnily enough, the cover for the group’s latest album Endless Twilight of Codependent Love might remind one of a famous Smashing Pumpkins album cover.

Painted in watercolor by Johann Baptist Zwecker in 1864, The Lady of the Mountain is the female personification of Iceland. It was first published in a book of Icelandic folk tales but was never shown in public. A black and white woodblock replica by the artist is what Icelanders have known until recently when two citizens found the original hidden in a Welsh museum gallery where it had been in storage for a century. Now it is back home and adorning the cover of the new Sólstafir album.

“Everybody knows the image of the Lady of the Mountain,” declares Tryggvason. All of a sudden, the original pops up and it’s like, ‘Oh my god, these are the most beautiful colors I’ve ever seen. And why does it remind me of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness?’ So that’s purely accidental. When we saw this photo, we had to use it. It’s too beautiful.”

While early Sólstafir lyrics delved into Nordic mythology and critiques of organized religion, more recent songs explore their spiritual connection with nature, and lately, mental disorders ranging from depression to alcoholism and the taboo behind men in particular discussing those things for fear of being perceived weak.

“That’s the real darkness that you can’t see, but you can feel it and people around you can feel it,” explains Tryggvason. “Of course, there are serial killers and plagues and whatever through history. But in modern day life, that’s the true darkness around you. People kill themselves every day, and often people close to you who have been feeling so bad.”

He says the most personal song on Endless Twilight of Codependent Love is “Her Fall From Grace,” the lone track in English. It chronicles the pain of watching a loved one succumb to mental illness.

“It’s very sad when you love someone and you see them get sick,” muses Tryggvason. “Like Layne Staley said, ‘Slow suicide is no way to go.’ But you’re just watching on the audience bench, preparing for the phone call. ‘Hey man, Johnny’s dead.’ ‘All right, I knew Johnny was gonna die. I’ve been watching him in slow motion.’” He likens the experience to seeing a relative or parent be consumed by Alzheimer’s and turn into a different person than one remembers.

Although the band’s lyrics are predominately in Icelandic, that does not prevent outside listeners from appreciating the emotional power of their music. It has been said that many fans can feel his pain even if they do not overtly understand what he is singing about.

A beautiful moment in that regard occurred when Sólstafir played Bogota, Colombia in September 2017. It was the smallest show on their South American tour, and they presumed it would not be as lively. The 300 strong throng proved them wrong. “It felt like I was in Queen at Wembley Stadium,” Tryggvason recollects fondly. “They sang every goddamn word in Icelandic. How can you explain that?”

Such passionate reactions have not gone unnoticed in their homeland. Iceland picked Sólstafir to play a total of six events New York City, Seattle, and Toronto last fall called “Taste Of Iceland.” Tryggvason says the band enjoyed the event and their intimate industry showcases at Pianos (NYC) and Livenation (Toronto) during that same trip.

Counter-intuitive thinking has helped Sólstafir evolve and mature. The new track “Ör” opens with a languid, bluesy feeling but gradually transforms into an angst-ridden, guitar-driven dirge. When they conjured their breakthrough song “Fjara” in 2011, the group feared its mellow nature might put off their longtime metal followers. Instead, they embraced it. That tune, along with the ambient, banjo-laden track “Ótta,” allowed the group to play both the Brutal Assault festival in the Czech Republic five years ago and then a family-friendly music event in the Netherlands the next weekend. The new rager “Dionysus” even features a return to their black metal roots that was not planned; the song just turned out that way over a year-long span.

“Our audience grew bigger and more diverse by us just being ourselves and doing nothing different really,” notes Tryggvason. One of the joys for him and his bandmates – bassist Svavar “Svabbi” Austmann, guitarist Sæþór Maríus “Pjúddi” Sæþórsson, and newer drummer Hallgrímur Jón “Grimsi” Hallgrímsson, who contributed some lyrics this time out – is that their perception of how their new music will turn out never corresponds with reality. It is that unknown factor that keeps things exciting.

“You can never foresee band magic,” declares Tryggvason. “The whole purpose of this is cooking up magic. And if you’re cooking up magic with four or five weirdos, you can never foresee what’s going to happen. You can’t buy that. You have to live it or grow it.”

  • Die Metal-Videos der Woche vom 05.04.

Seit 30 Jahren schwelgen sie bereits in Melancholie. 1991 in Stockholm von Sänger Jonas Renkse und Gitarrist Anders Nyström gegründet, vereinen Katatonis sowohl diee Metal-Welt als auch die Progressive Rock-Szene unter ihrer Anhängerschaft. Neben Bassist Niklas Sandin und Schlagzeuger Daniel Moilanen ist der neueste Zugang Gitarrist Roger Öjersson, der erstmals auf dem aktuellen Album CITY BURIALS als vollwertiges Band-Mitglied zu hören ist. Denn als Öjersson 2016 als zweiter Gitarrist zu Katatonia stößt, ist THE FALL OF HEARTS bereits fertig aufgenommen.

Doch im selben Jahr erschütterte eine Horror­nachricht alle Fans von Katatonia. Die Band sagte ihren angekündigten Headlinergig beim Dark Easter Metal Meeting ab und gab bekannt, sich auf unbestimmte Zeit in eine Pause zurückzuziehen. Und weg war sie – diese eine Band, die sensible Seelen so sehr brauchen, in der Trauernde wie heillos Verliebte ihre ganze emotionale Palette in an­mutige, anrührende Klangform gegossen wiederfinden.

Frische Perspektive gesucht

„Wir ­hatten viele Gründe dafür“ , fasst Jonas Renkse zusammen. „Hinter uns lagen viele Tourneen für das letzte Album und wir waren alle ermüdet davon, unterwegs zu sein. Unser Gitarrist Roger (Öjersson – Anm.d.A.) musste sich einer ernsten Rückenoperation unterziehen, die Konzerte unmöglich machte. Anders (Nyström, Gitarrist – Anm.d.A.) und ich waren mit dem neuen Bloodbath -Album beschäftigt. Darüber hinaus spürten wir, dass wir eine frische Perspektive brauchten und neu definieren mussten, was wir in der Zukunft mit Katatonia erreichen wollen.“

Doch 2020 kehrten Katatonia mit CITY BURIALS zurück. „Katatonia sind darauf bedacht, ihre Trademarks zu erhalten. Sie brauchen aber auch Luft zum Atmen, Entfalten, sich selbst Spüren. Diese Momente überwiegen nicht, sie brechen nur manchmal hervor, in Details wie einem klassischen, röhrenden Metal-Solo.“ (Petra Schurer, METAL HAMMER) Zusammen mit den isländischen Post-Rockern Sólstafir , die ihr aktuelles Album ENDLESS TWILIGHT OF CODEPENDENT LOVE endlich vorstellen wollen, geht es im Januar/Februar 2023 auf Tournee.
