Katatonia went on hiatus in December 2017 to re-evaluate the band, and came off hiatus in February 2019 to celebrate their 2009 record Night Is The New Day. A new record seemed like a possibility in the future, but the band's status as being permanently active seemed a little tenuous at the time.

The band has posted on Facebook about what they're doing in 2020, which they said "will see us keepin’ busy for other reasons than paying tribute to our past."

On the live front, we saw the night come down over several cities as NITND celebrated its 10th anniversary. Another dear experience! Oh and for the record, that's now our 4th album that we’ve played from start to finish, not bad right?
