Katatonia continue to find that sweet spot of melancholic metal as they head into their twelfth studio album, and today (Oct. 26) they're giving us the first taste of new music from their forthcoming set with the new song "Atrium."

The Swedish metallers paint a beautifully melodic and melancholic backdrops with the atmospheric new track that will have you singing along after repeated listens. Paired with a black-and-white shot video that perfectly captures the mood of the song, "Atrium" serves as an intriguing introduction into their next studio album.

The song will be featured on the band's upcoming record, Sky Void of Stars, which is on track for a Jan. 20 release through Napalm Records. Speaking on the new album, the group says, “Our 12th album, Sky Void of Stars is a dynamic journey through vibrant darkness. Born out of yearning for what was lost and not found, the very peripheries of the unreachable, but composed and condensed into human form and presented as sounds and words true to the Katatonia signum. No stars here, just violent rain.”

The album also features such future standouts as the album opening "Austerity," down-tempo gems "Opaline" and "Drab Moon," and the vulnerable yet doomy "Impermanance." The full track listing and artwork can be found below, while pre-orders for the record are now being taken here.

Katatonia also have plenty of touring ahead of them, with stateside shows finishing out 2022 before they head off to Europe and Latin America in early 2023. All dates can be found below and ticketing info can be found here.
