Swedish Metal veterans KATATONIA, have dropped a brand-new single titled “Wind of no Change”, taken from their upcoming album “Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State”. The full record is set for release this Friday, June 6th, 2025, via Napalm Records.

Produced by frontman Jonas Renkse, the album was recorded by Lawrence Mackrory (known for his work with DECAPITATED and USURPRESS) at NBS Audio and The City Of Glass studios. Mixing duties were handled by Adam Noble (LEPROUS, PLACEBO), with mastering by Robin Schmidt (THE HIVES, BIFFY CLYRO).

This new release showcases a lush, dynamic production — a careful balance between silence and intensity. Expect crushing riffs intertwined with delicate guitar melodies, all wrapped in atmospheric synths that build a rich, cinematic soundscape. Tracks like “Thrice” and “Warden” highlight the band’s stylistic range, while the Swedish-language piece “Efter Solen” brings a stripped-down, minimalist sensitivity to the mix.

Even after more than 30 years, KATATONIA continues to redefine the emotional spectrum of their genre, effortlessly shifting between haunting vulnerability and commanding artistry. With sonic landscapes that evoke dystopia, inner demons, purity, and beauty alike, “Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State” stands as a testament to their enduring brilliance.

As soon as summer has shattered, KATATONIA will embark on an epic headline tour this fall across Europe and the UK together with label mates and Gothenburg’s top-notch metal export EVERGREY and KLOGR from Italy. Kicking off on November 11th in Tampere, Finland, the tour will cover 31 major cities in total and culminate in a grand finale in Stockholm, Sweden on December 20th.
