The iconic band celebrates a decade of atmospheric brilliance with a limited edition vinyl release that fans can’t afford to miss.

Katatonia, the architects of melancholic metal, are back in the spotlight as they unveil a limited tenth anniversary edition of their monumental album, The Fall Of Hearts. Released in 2016, this record not only conquered the charts—debuting at #1 on the USA Heatseekers and #5 on the Hard Rock charts—but also solidified Katatonia’s place in the pantheon of modern heavy music. The band's relentless touring since the 2012 release of Dead End Kings has paid off, as they expanded their empire across the globe.

With The Fall Of Hearts, Katatonia pushed their sound into uncharted territories, seamlessly blending progressive elements with their signature dark melodies. This was the first album to feature the powerhouse drummer Daniel 'Mojjo' Moilanen and the fiery guitar wizard Roger Öjersson, known for his blistering solos that added an exciting layer to the band's sonic landscape. The result is an album that not only resonates with the core of metal fans but also draws in listeners from across various genres, placing Katatonia alongside legends like Opeth and Anathema.

The artwork, a haunting visual crafted by the talented Travis Smith, perfectly encapsulates the album's dramatic and desolate themes, enhancing the listening experience. This special reissue is pressed on double pearl dawn vinyl, packaged in a stunning gatefold sleeve, and features a bonus track on Side D that promises to thrill both new listeners and long-time fans alike.

For those eager to own a piece of metal history, preorders are now open. With tracks like “Takeover” and “Serein” leading the charge, this anniversary edition of The Fall Of Hearts is bound to invoke nostalgia while inviting new fans into the fold. Don’t miss out on this chance to celebrate a decade of Katatonia’s unparalleled artistry.
