Dead Letters is the first track taken from new album Dead End Kings, go to the album site to sign up to the mailing list and download the track for FREE: www.deadendkings.com. A continuation of 2009's inspired & acclaimed Night is the New Day, Dead End Kings sees Katatonia conjure yet another milestone in audial melancholy & angst.
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."
Dead End Kings was recorded at Ghost Ward Studios & The City Of Glass. The album was produced by Anders Nyström & Jonas Renkse, & mixed by David Castillo. Additionally, Katatonia is joined once again by Frank Default on sampling & atmospherics, plus a special guest appearance by Norwegian vocalist Silje Wergeland of Dutch legends The Gathering/ex-Octavia Sperati.
Artwork is supplied by long-time visual collaborator Travis Smith.

MY DREAMS ARE GETTING DARKER AND DARKER
Wait, how do y’all like this music, like demons and shit
spiralEyedGhost my dreams are getting darker after watching this at 1 a.m

Mine are getting wetter and wetter
Believe it or not I found this because of a fallout reference to the lyrics on a terminal in fallout 4. Glad I found the reference, this song is rad.
justin mcknight I just watched a video on that same reference. Lol game on, fam!
Oxhorn, right?
justin mcknight nice Blood Moutain cover photo
Had a strange incident today. I was monitoring the low-band frequencies - the stuff normally used by outdated equipment, when I came across a very strange repeating message. It was in English, but it was very difficult to make out due to all the static. It stopped broadcasting after about an hour, but I made out a few phrases: "internal void" "dreams are getting darker" and "blood runs so still." The only other thing I picked up was what I assume to be a call sign: "D-E-K." I'm going to send these phrases over to translation in Washington as soon as possible.
LP Bravo reference right there 👀👀
This is Washington, the tape was blank, we are sending you an extra person to keep you mentally healthy
Sergent Renske, is that you?
The tape was blank, we'll send someone over, you're hallucinating. And this is going to your permanent report, soldier.
The fact that Bethesda gave a nod to this beautiful song in Fallout 4, makes both the song and the game even more awesome than they already are. :D
Found something playing Fallout 4. Googleing it led me here. Not a bad song. Good work Bethesda.
Whiterin same
Wtf, this track is in fallout 4?
@@h4xo7 The music, no. There's a terminal in a bunker somewhere, I don't recall where anymore, that has some of the lyrics of the song.

This is pure nutrition for my depression
Just drink your profile picture
For me, it s t i m u l a t e s my imagine juices
i feel the same lol
still love this song doe
yummy
I know I'm in the majority here who was brought here from Oxhorn and Fallout 4, and all I can say here is thank you. Now I got a new band on my list of favorites.
The album artwork is so beautiful
Probably my favourite band of all time. I was an addict from the first song I ever heard (Criminals). Can't wait to see them for the 5th time in a couple of weeks when they play Download. I'll be on the barrier crying my heart out, esp if they play The Racing Heart! Beautiful intense incredible music. I love it all \m/
Wonder if ya went. Had a good time?
I really like this videos artwork.
this band reminds me of katatonia
Oliver Sharp, indeed there is only one band that performs like Katatonia and that is itself
Bullshit, this band is nowhere near katatonia.
Oliver Sharp can't say I can hear hear i can hear the similarities.
I totally can't see anything that might lead me to believe that this song was made by Katatonia or that it's from the Dead End Kings album
Oliver Sharp it is you shit
Vexation
Internal void
My dreams are getting darker and darker
Dim my lights
Time is frail
You shut my mind
But oh well
Trapped and choked
Erased my trail
Split the chest
My heart couldn't feel more pale
Only once could I see clear
Vexation
Internal void
My dreams are getting darker and darker
This life before me
Its blood runs so still
The call of the bird
The song that makes the hours go
The change inactive
Dead letters
Form these words
Dim my lights
One by one
The sordid pale
Broken run
Confined in escape
On burnt grass
Below the crest
Liar in wait for the ending
Only once could I see clear
My dreams are getting darker and darker
This life before me
Its blood runs so still
The call of the bird
Songs that make the hours go

As i continue to delve more and more into the epic catalogue of Kataonia, i always seem to find a fantastic song. What an amazing band that continue to keep getting better with every listen
I found listening post bravo, and saw what the guy below listened to. It was lost on me since I didn't get it, but it was something that did interested me, I looked up these phrases only to be lead to the result of Katatonia's Dead End Kings album and their beautiful song Dead letters. Now that I'm here, and I just said it, it's beautiful. I see beauty, i see divinity, I see divine beauty.
I actually got to meet these when they came to Manchester earlier this month :D
Katatonia ARE Tool-influenced (and prog influenced in general) since Viva Emptiness (obviously) BUT Katatonia are Katatonia, unmistakable, unique.
Everyone is influenced by others that came before them, or even after them.
Fucking JULY is a MONUMENT to MUSIC
Much of their style reminds me more of Opeth then Tool. Mikael sang on two albums aswell.
Edgar Allan Poe would approve of this
I love this track so much!
What an amazing melodic piece of music.
To those who say that this is a rip off of Tool. Well they play in a similar genre. In genre music you are allowed to sound abit similar to other bands in that genre and to adopt innovations(for example I don't like Meshuggah but I like bands that are influenced by them like Plini) "ripoff"? Come on! this is way more synthy, more melodic and harmonic. Their use of texture is very different. Tool is very economical in their use of texture While Katatonia uses alot of effects. Just because they use those oddly timed riffs and mellow vocals they are a Tool clone? Really! Do you guys even listen to metal apart from Tool? Katatonia is actually a pretty old band too btw.
IntermediateJesus dude fuck yeah they're old stuff is still amazing to this day. I agree with what you say. In no way are they a clone. 😎
Tool sucks with vocals and lyrics. This is the first song of ive heard of this band and they are way better than tool
@@darthreaper6311 I second this.. Tool seems to lack a certain kind of passion to me.
how the fuck does this sound like tool ...sounds like katatonia to me
@@darthreaper6311 Well, I don't know if they're really that bad with vocals and lyrics, I mean, I kinda like the vocals, it's a good voice, it's pretty powerful speaking about emotion, it has a strong impact, at leat to me. And speaking about his voice it's veeeeery technical, especially about breath control. About lyrics, the only problem it's just that they're all sooooo oniric. But they're not bad lyrics, at least, that's my opinion.
An Absolute Materpiece visual, lyrics, and instrumentals
i was in a bunker when i heard the lyrics to this song. The banging at the bunker elivator door still haunts my darkened dreams.
never heard a more perfect song for the apocalypse or for the dead. beautiful and one of the most hardcore songs ive ever heard. Amazing!
HP Lovecraft, what a similar style of art/visual style. Mixed, obviously, with a post-apocalyptic and nightmarish theme of bodily distortion.
Edit: A focus on the birds, I'm assuming crows, was missed in my first viewing. They add to the chilling visuals and add a link to almost all the art used for the album.
Sound of perfection!
FALLOUT 4 SENT ME HERE. I WAS THE FIRST TO FIGURE IT OUT. GO TO LISTENING POST BRAVO.
+Andrew Burr SERIOSULY??? YAAASSS This band has friends in Bethesda
+Andrew Burr Damn You I was so close haha
+Andrew Burr Can someone explain?
+Prince of Nothing probably no special meaning. Who ever did that quest just like the song probably.
+Prince of Nothing it's an Easter egg in fallout 4
This band is amazing, combining death metal with harmonies . Love this band!!!
Thank you Oxhorn!
Beautiful
Great,amazing,i just love it!!!
Please come to amsterdam 2020!!
Muy buena musica, dejense venir a mexico y traiganse a los porcupine con ustedes! Espero sea pronto!
Daniel's a super underrated drummer. Great sense of rhythm and groove
The artwork looks very foreboding and nightmarish. I think it matches the music very well
El video esta muy logrado..awesomeante..
Ordering vinyl next week
Oxhorn brought me here
Rose Muramasa His new video was very interesting...
Rose Muramasa same
Saaame.
Same 🤘
Guy's it probably alien
I had almost forgotten about this song until Oxhorn brought it up in his fallout 4 video, I remember my dad listening to it in the car or at home so I naturally listened to it as well. It really is a lovely song.
he has a great voice
Drumming is so damn good
My f******* god this song is perfect...
EXCELENTE CANCION, LA PARTE FINAL ME RECORDO A OPETH L.l,
see you in two weeks in denver!!
Today I woke up from a dream where our times were turning into a dark age. Famine, violence, rape. I watched my children suffer all of it. Their innocence gone. Tried to communicate it to everyone, but no one seemed to understand. I remember feeling indifferent at the end, no point in anything, waiting for death. Woke up. Thought about it, remembered this song.
This might potentially become my favorite album of 2012.
Listening post bravo lead me to this song it is rad
Don't care if they did borrow from the tool low string trill.
This a a great track.
One Enclave, One America, Now and Forever.
Nah fuck you bro, Minutemen and Legion
It leaked. I'm on my 6th listen already. DEFINITELY buying the deluxe edition that has the bonus track the Art of Darkening.
My dreams are getting darker and darker
Sounds like it has to do. Great Job
Songs That makes The Hours Go
I really like how they juggle all of these conflicting melodies in this song. Not necessarily loving it, but I find it really interesting.
Love this so much! Just awesome!
So dark and melodic... Can anyone recommend me any of their other tracks/ bands similar to this?
Cheers man you rock!
Marcus C-K Also try the bands Wolverine-Into the great nothing and Novembre ;)
Opeth (Damnation album), Porcupine tree
Marcus - Maybe give Evergrey a chance. they remind me a lot of Katatonia
Listen to the albums dead end kings, night is a new day, great cold distance.
THIS BEAT
Wish the whole album had been like this :/
Katatonia is my oxygen
Sounds like tool Holy shit! that bass just like it! I love tool
Better than Tool
So far so good; only two songs to judge however.
2:06 very Opethy. :)
The members of the two bands are close and even played together in the past.
Guitar tones out of the top drawer
Ik most people are from oxhorn post bravo but I love this song
This is like a happy medium between Tool and Between the Buried and Me, I dig it. Thanks Oxhorn.
New listening post who dis
Half the comments are about Oxhorn and fallout 4 lol
Yes, as the band is obscure. What did you expect? Despite this band's amazing style, they don't have near the reach of oxhorn, not to mention the MASSIVE reach of the Fallout franchise.
Çoookksellll
Last build-up after 3:54 gets so intense.
I was kind of hoping to see more comments from people who got the FO4 reference because they knew of this band /before/ the game, lol.
This is sounding better than night is the new day
Oxhorn's Fallout 4 video brought me here
I'm getting rusty lake games vibes from this video ps is the rusty lake games ps4 friendly or not asking for a friend who is not me
lol all the comments about sounding like tool, i think they are similar to opeth but tool? have you ever heard tool?
Tool is good but so is katatonia. :)
"...the beginning sounds like Tool..." interesting, it kind of does. But when I first heard Tool use that kind of rhythm I thought they sounded a bit like Meshuggah! LOL!
_...the guitars make me happy_
Everyone calls tool out of time and from future but this guys made pneuma 7 years before tool made it. That is how this song is
Incoming influx of listeners from OxHorn's video!
Gunchap Red Might be a good thing an amazing song like this deserves the views.
Ikr
HI!
What Oxhorn video is everyone talking about?
The ghost of listening post bravo
amazing no comment \w/
Am I the only one who didn't came here because of game and instead just came here as a big fan
Congratulations, you in fact are an annoying spoil sport who is shoving off new fans of the band.
I think people compare these guys to tool for to both having mesmerizing vocal work.
Might want to wait for it to come out first...
Fallout brought me here
I wonder if possible if the next fallout game not just have this song as an Easter egg but also litterly actually play this song when activated
Like the in game song easter eggs from the COD zombies series?
That one guy that clicked on Dislike needs his hearing checked.
why does this song just feel like katatonia beating tool at their own game
Spitze....
Ah oxhorn the fallout 4 youtuber he brought me here of listening post bravo
I think this album is the most darker than orhers
The first few seconds remind me on Tool
this song fits not only in the fallout universe but also the rusty lake series.
Music beatiful!!!❤
Fallout 4 sent me here OMFG I FREAKING LOVE IT TOO DEATH
Edit I also forgot that Oxhorn sent me here ^_^
What the hell is Oxhorn?
it's a fallout Chanel and this song was referenced in fallout 4
He is a TH-camr and he is famous for the fellout game lore videos
Reminds me if Chevelle
Now we only need new Diabolical Masquerade.
Oxhorn sent me here
*Comrade Oxhorn.
Ah dead letters that oxhorn told me from his you tube channel from listening post bravo.... it's almost storybook
