In August 2012, Swedish dark rockers Katatoniareleased "Dead End Kings", their ninth studio album. The Cd was the band's most successful to date and cemented the Swedes' position as masters of sorrowful metal. In September 2013, the band returns with "Dethroned And Uncrowned", their first release on Kscope, Peaceville's sister label.

Many of the ecstatic reviews the "Dead End Kings" received commented on the fact that the album marked another step in the band's journey towards a more progressive sound. "Dethroned and Uncrowned" allows them to explore these elements of the record further as they have reworked the album, creating new moods and textures while still staying truthful to the core of the songs.

"Dethroned And Uncrowned" will be available on double Lp, download and as 2 disc (Cd and Dvd-Av) digibook set, which also features a 5.1 surround mix of the album.
