Following the recent release of Mnemosynean, an extensive collection of Katatonia rarities and B-sides marking 30 years of the band, which has been received warmly by fans and the media alike.
“Mnemosynean is what happens when great musicians realise, to their great delight, that they keep making great delight, that they keep making great music and simply don’t know how to stop. What a band” Prog Magazine
“A remarkably cohesive collection …..capturing the major beats of Katatonia’s career” Metal Hammer
“The quality and joy of listening are so amazingly high, that the 2CD would have been a best of/greatest hits album of other bands” Classic Rock (DE)
Peaceville are continuing with the Katatonia celebrations with the release of a new edition of Brave Murder Day.
The new 2CD and crystal clear vinyl LP release on 10th December marks 25 years since the release in 1996 of the band’s second album, Brave Murder Day is a true genre classic, a masterpiece. The primitive structures and melodies give this album an unparalleled trance-like quality, by taking an early Paradise Lost influence (mixed with others such as Kent and Slowdive) and forming a completely unique sound and atmosphere.
The majority of the vocal duties were carried out in his former signature death-growl style by Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth, while Jonas Renkse delivered the clean vocal passages that he is known for today, on the ethereal track, “Day”. Jonas also played drums on the album.
This 2021 edition of Brave Murder Day is presented on double CD which features the Sounds of Decay EP plus extra track, plus on limited crystal clear vinyl both formats include an additional booklet with reflections on the album from Anders Nyström, with contributions from Jonas Renkse.
Brave Murder Day will be released on 10th December and is available to pre-order HERE.
