Peaceville

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

Inspired by an injection of fresh blood into Katatonia's creative brew, 'City Burials' is an album that sees the band reclaim part of their heavy metal roots, via several moments of exuberant, old school classicism, deftly woven into these new songs' kaleidoscopic fabric. This CD version of 'City Burials' will be presented as digipak with a 16-page booklet. 

Formed in 1991 by Jonas Renkse &amp; Anders Nyström, and transitioning from early pioneers of the rising black/death/doom movement, to powerhouses of the progressive metallic rock genre, the Swedish connoisseurs of melancholy return with their stellar new opus, 'City Burials' - the band's eleventh studio album, &amp; first since 2016's haunting 'The Fall of Hearts' was brought before the world. 

With the winds of a new direction steering the band on their latest journey, 'City Burials' stands as Katatonia's new triumph of deep &amp; enigmatic progressive rock the fruits of a rejuvenating and profound chapter in the band's legacy; a catalyst for its creators, with a collection of moments constructed out of the fragments of an ever-evolving life. Compiled into one of their most important modern works and statements to date, the finely-honed instrumentation provides a multitextured backdrop with the voice of Jonas Renkse guiding us through these latest trials of loss and ruin. 

Beyond their core creative duo, Katatonia are very much a full-blown band, and the chemistry between Jonas, Anders and their band mates bassist Niklas Sandin, drummer Daniel Moilanen and most recent recruit, guitarist Roger Öjersson has never sounded more potent, with 'City Burials' being the first album Katatonia have made since Öjersson became a full-time member. 

'City Burials' was produced by Nyström/Renkse and recorded at Soundtrade Studios, Tri-Lamb Studios &amp; The City Of Glass, throughout October &amp; November 2019, with engineering work handled by Karl Daniel Lidén. The album also features a guest appearance by Anni Bernhard, the voice behind Stockholm based act Full of Keys.
