Originally released on the Peaceville label in August 2012, Katatonia's home for over two decades, Dead End Kings was the band's most successful album to date & cemented Katatonia's position as masters of a unique kind of hard-edged atmospheric Rock. In September of 2013, Kscope released Dethroned & Uncrowned, a radical reinterpretation of Dead End Kings & the band's first release on Kscope. Dethroned & Uncrowned allowed Katatonia the opportunity to explore a more ambient & progressive sound, creating new moods & textures while still staying truthful to the core of the original songs.
"The synopsis is simple & album title won't lie; the drums will be dethroned & the distorted rhythm guitars will be uncrowned! We'll place the emphasis on the many layers of ambience, with the melodies staying central & the vocal harmonies representing the heart of the album" Anders Nyström
This Peaceville mid-price CD edition of Dethroned & Uncrowned is presented in Jewel Case packaging complete with an 8-page booklet.
