With haunting melodies, dynamic guitar work, and Jonas Renkse's evocative vocals, "Sky Void Of Stars" takes listeners on a journey through introspection and darkness while maintaining an undeniable sense of beauty. Katatonia has been a leading force in progressive and doom-influenced metal since their formation in 1991, earning critical acclaim with albums like "The Great Cold Distance," "Night Is The New Day," and "City Burials."

Napalm Records is renowned for supporting innovative artists across rock and metal genres; their commitment to quality releases makes them one of the most respected labels in heavy music.
In April 2020, Katatonia released their eleventh studio album, City Burials.[3] The band had initially planned on touring in support of the album, but the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic halted all plans.[3] Upon realizing that this was not a short-term issue, but something that was going to be completely halting their ability to tour, they instead turned to releasing further music.
