Katatonia - Dethroned & Uncrowned ( Jewel Case CD )

MID-PRICE CD EDITION OF THE SWEDISH LEGENDS' ALBUM, NOW ON PEACEVILLE. THE EXPERIMENTAL REINTERPRETATION OF THE CLASSIC ALBUM �DEAD END KINGS�

Originally released on the Peaceville label in August 2012, Katatonia�s home for over two decades, �Dead End Kings� was the band�s most successful album to date & cemented Katatonia�s position as masters of a unique kind of hard-edged atmospheric Rock. In September of 2013, Kscope released �Dethroned & Uncrowned�, a radical reinterpretation of �Dead End Kings� & the band�s first release on Kscope. �Dethroned & Uncrowned� allowed Katatonia the opportunity to explore a more ambient & progressive sound, creating new moods & textures while still staying truthful to the core of the original songs.

�The synopsis is simple & album title won�t lie; the drums will be dethroned & the distorted rhythm guitars will be uncrowned! We�ll place the emphasis on the many layers of ambience, with the melodies staying central & the vocal harmonies representing the heart of the album� Anders Nystr�m

This Peaceville mid-price CD edition of �Dethroned & Uncrowned� is presented in Jewel Case packaging complete with an 8-page booklet.

A year ago, I wondered just how much mellower Katatonia could get; they not only answered that question, but proved, resoundingly so, that they could pull it off with grace & creativity.
