October Tide is a Swedish death-doom band that was created in 1994 by Katatonia vocalist Jonas Renkse and guitarist Fred Norrman.[1] Norrman revived the band after leaving Katatonia in 2009.
History
1995–1999
October Tide's debut album, Rain Without End, was recorded in 1995 and released on Vic Records in 1997.[2] During this period October Tide maintained a low profile, deciding not to tour or give any interviews.[1] October Tide disbanded after releasing their second album, Grey Dawn, in 1999.
2009–2011
After leaving Katatonia, Norrman reformed October Tide in early 2009. The new line-up didn't include founding member Jonas Renkse, but instead consisted of Norrman on guitars, Tobias Netzell from In Mourning on vocals, Robin Bergh on drums and Jonas Kjellgren as a session bassist.[1] The band entered the studio to record a new album.[3] October Tide signed to Candlelight Records in March 2010.[3]
In July 2010, October Tide performed live at Hell's Pleasure Metalfest.[4] Johan Jansson replaced Kjellgren on bass for the show.[5]
A Thin Shell was released on 28 September 2010.[6] After the album's release, Pierre Stam joined the band on bass.[6]
2012–present
In March 2012, Netzell and Stam left the band, and were replaced by Alexander Högbom and Mattias Norrman, respectively.[7] October Tide signed with Pulverised Records in April 2012.[8] The band entered Black Lounge Studios in late 2012 to record their new album, Tunnel of No Light.[9] They released the album on 25 March 2013.[10]
In 2015, drummer Robin Bergh was replaced by Jocke Wallgren.[11] In Splendor Below was released on 17 May 2019.[12]
