A lot has happened since Swedish metal outfit Katatonia last toured the U.S.

Katatonia, which plays Tampa Orpheum in Tampa on Saturday, Dec. 10 went on hiatus in 2018, just to come back the next year to celebrate the anniversary of its 2009 record, Night is the New Day. And as if that wasn’t exhilarating enough, City Burials released in April 2020.

The band which gave us “Old Heart Falls” now finally has a chance to play those songs live, as well as a few new ones from an album set to release next month, Sky Void of Stars.

The Ocean Collective and Cellar Darling open Katatonia’s first Bay area gig since a 2017 stop at the since-reconstructed State Theatre.
