KATATONIA Announces Departure Of Founding Guitarist ANDERS NYSTRÖM


Swedish grand seigneurs of gloom KATATONIA have parted ways with founding guitarist Anders Nyström.

Band announced the news of their social media earlier today, writing: “Anders Nyström and I are going our separate ways. A decision not taken lightly, but for everyone to thrive and move forward with their own creative preferences as well as personal schedules this has become the realistic option.

Anders and I started the band in 1991 and his impact on the band’s trademark sound is undeniable.

“As bleak as this sounds, and is, it’s further evidence of life getting in the way of our preferred plans. I wish Anders all the best for the future.”

Earlier this month, KATATONIA unveiled plans for a fall 2025 European tour. Beginning on November 11 in Tampere, Finland, the journey will span 31 major cities, featuring special guests EVERGREY and KLOGR, before concluding with a spectacular finale in Stockholm, Sweden on December 20.

KATATONIA released their triumphant Napalm Records debut, Sky Void of Stars, in 2023 to the enthrallment of critics and fans alike. The album, which topped several soundchecks – including Rock Hard and Legacy magazine in Germany – showcases their brilliant, genre-defying fusion of melodic death metal and atmospheric post rock. Following its release, the band jumped on a massive headline tour across Europe and the UK alongside SÓLSTAFIR and SOM.
