Die Schweden KATATONIA bringen mit "Dead End Kings" im August 2012 ein neues Album. Der Silberling wurde in den Ghost Ward Studios & The City Of Glass aufgenommen, produziert wurde von Anders Nyström & Jonas Renkse, gemischt von David Castillo. Veröffentlicht wird die Scheibe via Peaceville Records.

Die Band sagt zum neuen Album:
» 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.«
