KATLA have announced their debut album!
Titled Scandinavian Pain, the upcoming album from the Danish stoner doom metal band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming debut album was produced by Lasse Ballade (known for his work with SOLBRUD, ALKYMIST, and HALSHUG).
Speaking about the upcoming debut album, the band shares, “Scandinavian Pain is an album about the shame of feeling depressed in a country that in many ways seems to be out of any misery or control of others. The inherent feeling of guilt, the despondent thoughts. The weight of cultural Christianity and being part of a system that is destroying both ours and other lives. It’s about watching the newest season of whatever decadent TV show is on while children are being murdered daily. All the songs are different, yet similar. This time, there’s an affirmation for you, who might need it, a story telling, a short grindy track, something with a blast beat, but of course also heavy sludgy doom. Welcome to the house of pain.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, KATLA have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming new album; Taurus.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “this was the first song that we created after the departure of our old bassist. We didn’t have a label or a clear plan of what we wanted to do besides making music. Taurus was our first step into the ‘newer’ sound of KATLA. After making the split Overdoser and trying to up the tempo a bit to make it sound tougher and gritter, Taurus came naturally with the arrival of Theis on the bass and vocal parts, and the visions for the debut KATLA album.”
