Swedish melancholic metallers KATATONIA will release a new studio album, “Sky Void of Stars”, on January 20, 2023 via Napalm Records. The official music video for the LP’s second single, “Austerity”, is now released. The heartfelt offering crashes through the dark with memorable, mind-bending rhythms as it shifts with elaborate guitar riffs that perfectly showcase the musical expertise and experience of the band. Topped off by the dark, conjuring voice of Jonas Renkse and mesmerizing lyricism, the gloomy mood for the album is set. The song is now available via all digital service providers worldwide.

Watch “Austerity” below.

KATATONIA comments on “Austerity”: “We hereby present you our new single and the opening track of ‘Sky Void Of Stars’ — ‘Austerity’. Energetic and dark, stern and disenchanted. Enjoy.”

Watch the previously released “Atrium” below.

KATATONIA comments on “Sky Void Of Stars”: “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.”
