Three-headed Danish doom monster KATLA is set to take 2025 by the throat with the release of their debut album, Scandinavian Pain, out March 21 via Napalm Records. In celebration of the announcement, the band now release the first single, “Taurus”, off the album.

Watch “Taurus” below. 

KATLA on “Taurus”:
”This was the first song that we created after the departure of our old bassist. We didn’t have a label or a clear plan of what we wanted to do besides making music. Taurus was our first step into the ‘newer’ sound of KATLA. After making the split ‘Overdoser’ and trying to up the tempo a bit to make it sound tougher and gritter, Taurus came naturally with the arrival of Theis on the bass and vocal parts, and the visions for the debut KATLA album.”

Scandinavian Pain also marks the debut of new KATLA bassist and vocalist Theis Thorgersen. His addition not only breathes renewed energy into the band itself, but imbues an evolved sound that is heavier, darker, and sharper than ever before. KATLA’s meaningful yet uninhibited sound and high-energy live performances have positioned them as a force to be reckoned with
