SPECIAL TENTH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED DOUBLE VINYL PRESSING OF THE
2016 HIT ALBUM FROM THE SWEDISH LEGENDS
PRESENTED ON PEARL DAWN VINYL.
"The Fall of Hearts is an absolute jewel from start to finish" - Decibel Magazine (USA)
Katatonia released their seismic opus, 'The Fall Of Hearts', in 2016 to chart & media
success; reaching #1 in the USA Heatseekers & #5 in the USA Hard Rock charts, #2 in
Sweden's Hard Rock chart, #3 in Canada's Hard Rock chart, #4 in the UK's Rock &
Metal chart, #6 in Finland, #11 in Germany & saw success in Australia with their first
ever chart entry.
Katatonia had worked tirelessly touring the world since 2012's 'Dead End Kings', as
well as expanding their fanbase through two albums on Kscope, Peaceville's sister
label. 2013 saw the release of 'Dethroned & Uncrowned', which exploded the core of
the songs on 'Dead End Kings' creating new moods & textures. Both releases
illustrated the band's journey toward 'The Fall Of Hearts', which featured a more
progressive sound, a sound which provoked The Guardian to refer to the band as
"bridging of the gap between metal & modern prog."
'The Fall Of Hearts' was the first record to feature new drummer Daniel 'Mojjo'
Moilanen with the addition of their then recently recruited guitarist Roger Ojersson
(Blindead 23, ex-Tiamat), who sprinkled some blistering solos on the album. With this release, Katatonia continued to push their musical boundaries beyond the metal
scene whilst drawing in new fans from across the musical spectrum, putting them on
par with peers such as Opeth & Anathema, cementing their place as one of the most
revered & cherished bands in modern heavy music.
The dramatic yet desolate artwork was created by longtime designer & illustrator
Travis Smith.
This special & limited tenth anniversary pressing of 'The Fall Of Hearts' is presented
on double pearl dawn vinyl, & includes gatefold sleeve.
