With a history tracing back to the epicentrer of melodic death metal in Sweden, October Tide have come a long way and have generated a spark that is strongly felt in the energy of the scene. In Splendor Below (2019) is the latest addition to their vibrant discography of guitar-driven, emotive death/doom metal art. It packs some of the most adventurous and unique compositions from the capable hands of founding member and long-time Katatonia guitarist, Fredrik Norrman, his brother and guitarist Mattias Norrman (ex-Katatonia), vocalist Alexander Högbom (Demonical), bassist Johan Jönsegård (Letters From The Colony) and drummer Jonas Sköld (Letters From The Colony / Thenighttimeproject).
While Fredrik prefers for the music to speak for itself, he finds the album "a bit more aggressive, a bit more death metal, and with an overall colder feeling than previous records.”
