Night is the New Day has been out in Europe for a week and comes out this Tuesday in North America.  Here are just a few of the reviews coming in:

’Night is the New Day is so strong I’m confident with a little elbow grease Katatonia might just be the darlings of 2009. If they aren’t I’m kicking ass and taking names.’ – 9 out of 10 / Decibel (US)

‘the only thing I can do is to recommend as hard as I can both this album and this band’ — 5 out of 5 / Kerrang! (Spain)

‘the Swedes have quite possibly penned their very own masterpiece… this record is a mind-bending odyssey of melodies, moods, colours and soundscapes; labyrinthian ambience, glorious heights, despairing lows and the type of awe-inspiring set of chapters which demand an instant replay. This is truly classic Katatonia, and of unprecedented quality.’ — 9.5 / Rocksound

‘an album staggering in both its ambition and its accessibility, showcasing beauty and despair in equal measure.’ — 4.5 / One Metal

‘the most versatile and consistent Katatonia album ever’ — 5 out of 5 / Soundi (Finland)

‘This is one of the best Katatonia-albums, if not THE best one.’ — 85 out of 100 / Aardshock (Netherlands)

Rock Hard, Zillo and Legacy magazines have also given it the album of the month awards.

Pick up the Swedish edition CD or gatefold double vinyl here, or U.S. fans can pick up a special edition signed CD here.

Katatonia’s new album Night Is The New Day is released on Monday. The album has been attracting rave reviews and is eagerly awaited by the band’s legions of fans around the globe. In the lead up to the album’s release the band’s MySpace, facebook and twitter accounts have been overwhelmed by questions and queries from fans.

As the band have been on tour they’ve been unable to answer most of these so Peaceville have arranged to catch up with them when they are in London next week and put some of these questions to them. The band’s answers will be filmed and posted on the Peaceville YouTube channel next week. If you have a question you’d like to ask the band please email linn@snappermusic.co.uk and please include your name and where you are from. We’ll ask the band as many questions as we can next week.

Deadline for questions is 11am (UK time) on Tuesday 3rd November. Please note we expect to receive a large number of questions so cannot guarantee that all questions will be answered.
