Swede metal maestros Katatonia are — near-improbably — headed to Orlando this week as part of their Waking State of North America tour. The mournful maestros cross the pond to air out tracks from their very relatably titled new album, Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State.
This has been a bit of a divisive one for fans, coming after a split between co-founders Jonas Renkse and Anders Nystrom, with Nystrom leaving the group, and the songs not quite reaching the highs of a Brave Murder Day. And yet, this is a group that’s gone from death/doom innovators to goth-prog bards, so it’s a sure thing they’ve got a few more chameleonic tricks up their sleeve. Only Florida show, so you just might be sadder than a song from Dance of December Souls if you miss out.
7 p.m. Friday, March 6, The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $30-$40.
