KATATONIA / DAYLIGHT DIES / MOONSPELL DATES CONFIRMED

Philadelphia: The first confirmed dates on the anticipated fall tour
featuring Katatonia and Daylight Dies with headliner Moonspell today
are
announced. Set to kick off in Poughkeepsie, New York more dates for
the
tour are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

For Katatonia, currently promoting their latest album The Great Cold
Distance, this will be the band's first full tour of the United
States. The
band's only previous stateside performances include their debut at
the now
defunct Milwaukee Metal Fest and 2004's Brave Words Bloody Knuckles 6-
Pack
Weekend. The Great Cold Distance, released April 4, is the band's
fastest
selling record in their 10-plus year history. Blabbermouth
says, "The Great
Cold Distance is a masterpiece of gloom from a band from whom we could
expect nothing less." The album hit national sales charts in four
international territories on release and the album's first video for
album
track "My Twin" directed by Charlie Granberg, is currently featured at
numerous on-demand as well regional video outlets.

Metal Maniacs calls Dismantling Devotion, the second album from North
Carolina-based Daylight Dies, “a monster of an album.” Mixed by
Jens Bogren
at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth/Soilwork) and mastered by Thomas
Eberger at The Cutting Room (Opeth/The Hives), Dismantling Devotion
is a
record filled with quality musicianship that travels a dark and
passionate
road that has nestled itself into the hearts of death, doom and dark
music
fans everywhere. In support of their debut No Reply, Daylight Dies
last
toured the US in support of Lacuna Coil in 2003. The band are
currently
working on their first video and preparing for their sold out shows
