Opeth and Katatonia have quite a history behind them as being super friendly and a bit incestuous (alright, maybe that’s not quite the word I’m looking for; members of both bands did form infamous death metal group Bloodbath though). They’ve both been billed together countless times, touring the States last year together. Now it would appear that we’re getting the exact same tour again this year, which is a good thing because I missed it the first time!
