SHOWS IN CYPRUS AND RUSSIA CONFIRMED
We are pleased to announce our first time trip (as musicians and not charter passengers…) to the tourist attraction island of Cyprus. Come kick in the new year with us on January 3rd. Tickets are on sale now.
We are also excited to make our return to the massive continent in the east. Our last trip, with gigs in S:t Petersburg and Moscow, marked a live-highlight for the band in 2005. With the Katatonia season in full bloom, we can’t think of anything better than coming back to Moscow for a one off show on January 17th. Tickets are on sale now.
THE KATATONİA SEASON
We can hear many question….
“Why is there no new Katatonia album out by now???”
And you might rightfully think so, our 8th album (and the last in the contract with Peaceville) should have been done and put out “ages ago” if things would’ve gone according to plan… It’s crazy how fast time goes by these days and that doesn’t help us much when inspiration runs dry. We’ve been meaning to enter the studio on many occassions already since two years back and I think we ended up cancelling booked sessions twice. Although it worked successfully every time in the past, it just got us stressed out and pushed us into a phase of writer’s block. From this we learned we better not book anything in advance as it stands, but focus on completing 100% of the material, be perfectly happy with what we got and first then hit the studio.
It seems we might pull things together for maximum devotion this time as all current and previous distractions are now gone. The Summer festivals are over and the level of live gigs for the next months are put to a minimum and Bloodbath - our Death Metal sideproject’s new album is done too (to be released on Otober 6th, check it out or all our hard work was for nothing hah!).
So what about the music? Bits and pieces have been collected ever since The Great Cold Distance came out. It’s just that we’ve been trying too hard, been thinking too much about the sound and direction. How can we top this and how can we change that. We’ve been stumbling around offroad looking for the answers and it ended up being a long walk. We don’t find it meaningful to trace your own footsteps back from where you came, but we rather find the first nearest exit to the same road up ahead where we’re at to get back on the map again.
I wont give away any hints just yet about how it will sound, but we hope to give you more light on the progress of this untitled embryo as we get closer. What’s certain is that we’ve found a good equation to work with now and that my friends is that it’s all about the 8th studio album and the autumn. Here comes the Katatonia season…
SUMMER FESTIVALS
Katatonia will appear on the following festivals this summer:
Jun 20 - Hellfest, Clisson, France
Jun 28 - Hunterfest, Szczytno, Poland
Jul 12 - Hegyalja Festival, Tokaj, Hungary
Jul 26 - Kuopiorock, Kuopio, Finland
MELLOBOAT
Katatonia will perform on the 21st Anniversary Schizoid Boat 8-9 March 2008 in honour of Mellotronen’s birthday, and it would be nice if you could join for this event, as it’s shaping up to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The party will take place over 40 hours on the largest ferry on the Baltic Sea, the Silja Symphony, a 204m luxury cruiser equipped with sauna and swimming pool facilities, cabins complete with showers, a shopping galleria, 8-10 bars and restaurants, and apart from the fantastic lineup of bands, there will also be an international music convention in the conference area, which is over 1000 square meters. The ferry will be leaving at 17:00 on Saturday 8th March, and will be returning to Stockholm 09:30 on Monday 10th March, with a 7 and a half hour stop in Helsinki, during which a mini film festival will be held on the boat by Klubb Super 8 (for those wishing to remain onboard).
The age restriction for the cruise is 18, which is a special concession as the age limit for weekend cruises is normally 23. Any questions in English regarding the cruise and price lists for cabins can be directed to info@mellotronen. com, and if Swedish is your poison, contact callcenterkalix@tallinksilja.com or jenny.havela@tallinksilja.com
