Formed in Sweden in 1991 by Anders Nystrom and Jonas Renkse, Katatonia stand at the forefront of the dark progressive rock genre.

In September 2013 KScope released Dethroned and Uncrowned, a reworking of the band s 2012 epic Dead End Kings (originally released on KScope s sister label Peaceville). Dethroned and Uncrowned allowed Katatonia the opportunity to explore a more progressive sound, creating new moods and textures while still staying truthful to the core of the original songs.
