KATATONIA And PINEAPPLE THIEF Frontmen Collaborate On New Band Called WISDOM OF CROWDS

Katatonia frontman Jonas Renkse and Pineapple Thief frontman Bruce Soord teamed up to create the band Wisdom of Crowds. It's precisely as awesome as you think it's going to be.

Did it meet all of your expectations? Wisdom of Crowds sounds like it's going to be the perfect middle point between the two bands, which is exactly what I was hoping for. It's haunting and heavy just like Katatonia with all the pages of acoustic moods and atmospheres The Pineapple Thief constantly portray. Even down to the time signatures it's right in the middle- there's a little of that 3-versus-4 Katatonia are so fond of in there right along side with some downright odd times courtesy of Pineapple Thief. Just… wow. This really couldn't have gone any better and "The Frozen North" is just the perfect song for these two's voices. Ladies and gentlemen, we just might have one of the best records of 2013 on our hands right here! The album comes out June 3 and pre-orders are available from the fine people over at KScope.
