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.
