November 10, 2015, 9 years ago
Swedish masters of melancholy, Katatonia, have revealed details on their new drummer, as well as the recordings for their next studio album. A message from the band follows:
“We’re proud to announce that Daniel ’Mojjo’ Moilanen has officially joined Katatonia as our new permanent drummer!”
Vocalist Jonas Renkse recalls: ”We first met Mojjo back in 2009 where his band at the time, Engel, had joined us and Paradise Lost on a UK tour and we soon realized we shared the same musical background and ideals. We stayed in touch over the years and when Daniel Liljekvist quit Katatonia in 2014 we decided to give Mojjo a call. He has now been with us for well over a year, so far only as a session live member, but now is the time for him to join the Katatonia album cycle and most importantly – make his own impression on our new material. We can’t wait to see what this will lead to. Love him up!”
Mojjo adds: “From 1993 via 2009 to 2014, from today and onward into future battles. I am thankful, delighted and proud to take part in the next phase of Katatonia and I am looking forward to the journey being as giving as it has been for the last 22 years.”
The band continues: “Today we also entered Studio Gröndahl with engineer Karl Daniel Lidén to commence the recording of our 10th album. Thanks to Tama drums, Meinl cymbals, Promark drumsticks and Evans drumheads Mojjo has already started doing what he does best, hitting stuff with grace!”
Stay tuned for updates from Katatonia.
