KATATONIA ARE [NOT] DEAD: NEW SONG “DEAD LETTERS” FROM NEW ALBUM DEAD END KINGS

Dead End Kings is due out August 28th on Peaceville Records, but today we get our first taste in the form of a lyric video for “Dead Letters.” Stream it after the jump:

This next record will be a big one for Katatonia here in the United States. Katatonia have never been a band to sneeze at, but I feel like they’ve really upped their game in the U.S. of late with a stellar effort in the form of 2009’s Night Is The New Day and a series of well-thought out tours, no small feat for a band that’s been around for 20 years. Can we call it a comeback? Maybe, but Katatonia never really went away… just kind of fell out of favor for a little while.

Dead End Kings is due out August 28th on Peaceville Records. “Dead Letters” (which is also available for download for the price of your email address here) sounds pretty great, similar in mood and tone to Night Is The New Day highlights “Forsaker” and “Liberation.” Definitely excited for this album.
