Peaceville Records has just announced an elaborate 10th anniversary edition of Dead End Kings, originally released in 2012 by Katatonia and received a glowing 9.0 from SPB.
The anniversary edition features a double CD version, a half speed master for the LP, and a DVD in 5.1 sound.
Dead End Kings was Katatonia's ninth album and was the first to feature guitarist Per Eriksson and bassist Niklas Sandin.
In a statement, Jonas Renkse says:
Looking back on Dead End Kings 10 years after its release brings memories of busy and good times. We were eager to keep the momentum that we had built around Night Is The New Day and I remember we finished off the mastering just in time (I think it was actually the same day!) for the press listening session we had in London. Some songs on the album turned out to be Katatonia evergreens that we keep in our live setlists to this day. I also must mention the cover art (and interior as well) that is probably our most ambitious. Took a long time to finish but the result is a classic. Happy 10 years to DEK!
The half speed vinyl master series will also release City Burials (2020) on Sept. 9 and The Great Cold Distance (2006) on Oct. 14.
Katatonia will be touring North America this winter, followed by dates in Europe in early 2023.
