    PEACEVILLE RE-ISSUE KATATONIA'S GREAT COLD DISTANCE ON MID-PRICE CD TO COINCIDE WITH U.S. TOUR



    Hailed as one of the leaders of the death-doom genre alongside My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost, Sweden's Katatonia have spent 25 years constantly evolving into the much-loved purveyor of dark progressive rock/metal they are today. 2016 marked not only the band's 25th anniversary, but also 10 years since the release of their highly regarded Peaceville album 'The Great Cold Distance' - and following Peaceville's re-issues of the classic album on vinyl and as a deluxe four disc earbook, it will now be released on mid-price CD. The release will be an essential purchase for any fan of old school metal and for any fan catching the band on their Fallen Hearts Of North America five-week tour beginning March 16th 2017 or their UK tour beginning in May 2017.



    Founding guitarist Anders Nystrom comments:
    "Looking back at our set lists from a historic perspective, it dawned on us that there's been no other album from which we've played more songs than The Great Cold Distance, so in the light of its 10th anniversary, it's with much pride and joy that we announce the new edition."



    Peaceville present 'The Great Cold Distance' as a mid-price CD, with a 12-page booklet plus two bonus songs; "Displaced" and "Dissolving Bonds" taken from the Katatonia's 'My Twin' single from 2006.

    Description

    SPECIAL HALF-SPEED MASTER SINGLE LP EDITION OF KATATONIA'S BREAKTHROUGH 2006 STUDIO ALBUM, PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL.

    Hailed as one of the leaders of the death-doom genre alongside My Dying Bride & Paradise Lost, Sweden's Katatonia have spent over three decades constantly evolving into the much-loved purveyor of dark progressive rock/metal which we see & hear today, highlighted by the recent success of 2020's greatly received 'City Burials' opus.



    Upon release in 2006, 'The Great Cold Distance' - Katatonia's sixth studio album - quickly drew plaudits & accolades the world over, for its refined & expertly crafted hook-laden tracks marking a clear step up from its predecessors, with the album containing staples of Katatonia's live set such as the anthemic hit 'My Twin' & the darkly ethereal 'Soil's Song'.



    'The Great Cold Distance' was recorded & mixed at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden & co-produced & engineered by Jens Bogren & David Castillo.
