Katatonia unveil new single “Temporal” from upcoming album

Swedish metal veterans Katatonia have just dropped a brand new single, “Temporal”, taken from their upcoming album “Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State”. The record is set to drop on June 6th, 2025, via Napalm Records. You can already dive into the new track with a lyric video, and it’s also available on all major streaming platforms.

This new album leans into clarity and dynamic contrasts—expect a gripping interplay between silence and intensity, heavy riffage paired with delicate guitar work, and layers of dreamy synths that shape a tension-filled sonic landscape. Tracks like “Thrice”, “Warden”, and “Wind Of No Change” highlight the band’s diverse palette, while the Swedish-language “Efter Solen” brings in a minimalist and tender touch.

The album was produced by frontman Jonas Renkse himself, with recording handled by Lawrence Mackrory (known for his work with Decapitated and Usurpress) at NBS Audio and The City Of Glass studios. Mixing duties were taken on by Adam Noble (who’s worked with Leprous and Placebo), and mastering was done by Robin Schmidt (The Hives, Biffy Clyro).

Earlier last month, the band also introduced a refreshed lineup: founding vocalist Jonas Renkse, bassist Niklas Sandin, drummer Daniel Moilanen, and guitarists Nico Elgstrand and Sebastian Svalland. One of the band’s co-founders Anders Nyström left the band in March.
