The stunning artwork was supplied, once again, by long- time visual collaborator Travis Smith.This special tenth anniversary edition of 'Dead End Kings' is presented as a double disc release, with the frst disc featuring the album plus all its associated bonus material, & the second a DVD containing the 5.1 audio mix of the album. The package also includes new artwork from artist Travis Smith, with a continuation of the concept from his original work on the album."Diehard fans will recognise 'Dead End Kings' as the latest in a series of beautifully conceived & subtly inventive exercises in atmospheric heaviness. But there is a sharpness to the songwriting in evidence on the Swedes' ninth full- length recording that promises a bridging of the gap between metal & modern prog." – 4/5 - The Guardian"This is further proof that Katatonia have the cojones & the class to plunge ever deeper into the heart of musical melancholy, dragging those of us who appreciate the restorative value of joy & sorrow along with them." – 9/10 - Metal Hammer
