Sweden's KATATONIA have issued the following update:

"Some of you might have missed that there is a Katatonia dedicated iPhone/iPad app to grab. All features that Katatonia.com have can now also be found in the app and there’s also a smooth integration between Facebook and Twitter accounts. Furthermore, this free app will be expanded on the following areas: songs (full songs to be on rotation), videos (hooked up directly to our YouTube account), photos (hooked up directly to our Flickr account), tour dates (all upcoming shows with ticket links) and maybe most important of all – the very latest news of the band delivered to you as they happen.

So, if you haven’t grabbed it already, go ahead! Remember it’s free to keep up with all the latest updates in the world of Katatonia directly in your iPhone. If there’s something you’d like to see or something that ain’t working, don’t hesitate to let us know."

The app is available here.

Swedish prog-metallers OPETH recently announced the complete routing for their upcoming North American tour with Katatonia.

Katatonia issued the following update: "Katatonia are confirmed as special guests on Opeth’s North American Heritage tour that runs from September till November. Katatonia last toured together with Opeth in Europe, 2001, supporting their Blackwater Park tour. Now, 10 years later down the road, the time has come to do it again! But that’s not all, Katatonia will also head out on a Canadian headliner tour one week before the Heritage tour starts. This trek will cover both familiar and unvisited territories. Furthermore, we will also add a bunch of headlining sideshows in the US throughout the tour, so keep checking back in for more details on those. Ticket links to the shows will be posted on Friday."
