Henrik Palm filling in for Katatonia's guitarist on their North American tour

Swedish band Katatonia has announced that due to visa issues their guitarist Nico Elgstrand will not be able to play during their North American tour, however none other than our favourite misantropisk noiserocker Henrik Palm will step in on guitar and we are sure he is going to be a really fantastic addition to the band!

Katatonia has explained on their official page:
"Due to visa complications, Nico is unfortunately unable to join us on guitar for this run in North America.
We’re very pleased to welcome Henrik Palm, who’ll be covering guitar for the shows in Nico's absence. Henrik is a phenomenal musician and we’re excited to have him bringing his energy and experience to the stage with the band."

Henrik commented:

”Im very honored to take the guitar duties with Katatonia on the upcoming North American tour! As some of you might know I’ve done a couple of albums with Daniel Moilanen in the past and present so finally me and him can do a proper tour together. Playing the music of Katatonia is a new and challenging experience for me so fingers crossed I don’t mess up too badly. Hell awaits!"

You can find all North American tour dates on the band's official website.

LIBER KETOLA exhibition and book presentation in Oakland

The magnificent book about Timo Ketola and his impressive artworks, published last year by The Ajna Offensive and Norma Evangelium Diaboli , will be presented in the United States on April 11th, 2026 at Ugra Deva Loka in Oakland, CA.

As with the previous book presentations in Europe, the event will also feature a art exhibition: The Ajna Offensive has explained on their official page that: "This may be the largest collection of pieces to be exhibited in one place yet: many of the pieces that travelled around Europe, many art prints related to Timo, personal pieces and pieces loaned specifically for this occasion will be in attendance.

A second and updated printing of the book will also be available at the event, with mail order copies available from April 12th, 2026.

Footage of No Future live in Stockholm available online

A few days ago, on January 16th, 2026, No Future have made one of their rare (but hopefully becoming now less rare!) appearances on stage, on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Jazz är Farligt.
Courtesy of YouTuber @david, almost their full show can now be watched online in its raw and compelling intensity!
 Sure, it's not the same as being there in person, but to all those of us who couldn't be there, it's a great chance to catch a glimpse of No Future's primal music played live.
