Sweden’s masters of melancholic heaviness, KATATONIA, return with “Wind of no Change” — the final single from their hauntingly beautiful new album Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State, set to release this Friday via Napalm Records.
The track weaves subtle electronic textures with the band’s signature atmospheric depth, striking a perfect balance between sorrow and serenity. Accompanied by a cinematic official music video, “Wind of no Change” immerses listeners in the shadowy realms Katatonia have explored for over three decades.
Following the massive success of Sky Void of Stars — which reached Top 5 chart positions in several countries — the new record represents the next evolution in the band’s illustrious career. It’s a sonic journey rooted in emotional gravity, dark beauty, and existential introspection.
This summer, Katatonia are set to perform at select festivals including the legendary Wacken Open Air, before embarking on a massive European & UK headline tour this fall. Joined by labelmates Evergrey and Klogr, the band will visit 31 cities, kicking off November 11 and culminating in a powerful homecoming show in Stockholm on December 20.
Jonas Renkse on “Wind of no Change”:
> “Carried through the veils of dusk, our third and final single ‘Wind of no Change’ now reaches you.
The path this album has taken finds its solemn pinnacle here — and you, you now stand atop the rising grave.
Sing praise!”
