Swedish melancholic metal band Katatonia has unveiled their new single “Temporal,” the second track from their forthcoming album Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State, set for release on June 6, 2025, via Napalm Records. The single, accompanied by a lyric video, dropped today, May 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT and is available to stream. Fans can pre-order the album in CD, vinyl, and digital formats at lnk.to/KAT-NAEOTWS.
Formed in 1991 in Stockholm, Katatonia—Jonas Renkse (vocals), Anders Nyström (guitar), Niklas Sandin (bass), Daniel Moilanen (drums), and Roger Öjersson (guitar)—has long been a staple in gothic and progressive metal. “Temporal,” aligns with the album’s theme of blurring dreams and reality, building on the atmospheric depth of their 2023 release Sky Void of Stars.
Katatonia is gearing up for summer festivals, including Hellfest (June 26) and Tuska (June 27), with more dates at katatonia.com. “Temporal” offers a haunting glimpse into their next chapter. Stream it now and pre-order the album!
