We'll place the emphasis on the many layers of ambience, with the melodies staying central and the vocal harmonies representing the heart of the album. - Anders Nystrom (Katatonia).Kscope are set to re-release 'Dethroned & Uncrowned' as a 2 disc CD / DVD-AV (5.1 mix) presented in a mediabook with a 32 page colour booklet.

Each venue on the tour was carefully chosen for its unique atmosphere.The concert from the stunning candle-lit setting of London's Union Chapel, where they were joined on guitar & vocals by The Pineapple Thief frontman and songwriter Bruce Soord, was filmed and released as a concert film under the moniker of 'Sanctitude' by Kscope.
