October Tide - In Splendor Below - CD

Digipack CD.

With a history tracing back to the epicenter 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" is the latest addition to their vibrant discography of guitar-driven, emotive death/doom metal art. It packs some of the most authentic and unique compositions from the capable hands of finding member and long-time  Katatonia  guitarist,  Fredrik  Norrman , his brother and guitarist  Mattias Norrman  (ex- Katonia ), vocalist  Alexander Högbom  ( Demonical ), bassist  Johan Jönseg?rd  ( 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 new album  "a bit more aggressive, a bit more death metal, and with an overall colder feeling than previous records" . Formed in 1995 by  Katatonia  members,  Jonas Renkse  ( Bloodbath ) and  Fred Norrman ,  OCTOBER TIDE  spawned two, now-cult releases,  "Rain Without End"  (1997) and  "Grey Dawn"  (1999), before going on hiatus for over eleven years. In 2009  Norrman  parted ways with  Katatonia , and resurrected  OCTOBER TIDE , consolidating the band's reemergence with a new album titled  "A Thin Shell" , feat.  Tobias Netzell  of  In Mourning  on vocals. Since then, the band evolved through two more studio albums,  "Tunnel Of No Light"  (2013) and  "Winged Waltz" (2016), both of which featured exceptional guitar work, on top of  OCTOBER TIDE 's emotional touch on death metal. "In Splendor Below"  album was mixed and mastered by  Karl Daniel Lidén  at  Tri-Lamd  studios ( Bloodbath ,  Katatonia ,  Breach ,  Craft ). It was produced by  Alexander Backlund  from Nailvillage Studio ( Thenighttimeproject  /  Letters From Colony ) and  October Tide .  Tomarum av Christine Linde  created the cover artwork.
