Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State is the full-length studio album from the Swedish metal band Katatonia.

Once again, the Stockholm-based unit masterfully navigates the tightrope act between nocturnal darkness and Scandinavian despair while subtly weaving a sense of hope into the listener’s heart. Since emerging in the early nineties, Katatonia has projected a beacon of light for the forgotten and the lonely ones, offering solace to those willing to lose themselves in the band’s immersive soundscapes.

From their roots in death-doom metal to the post-metal entity they embody today, their art remains as haunting as ever.
