KATATONIA Recruit Drummer Daniel ‘Mojjo’ Moilanen
November 9th, 2015
Stockholm, Sweden-based Katatonia have recruited drummer Daniel ‘Mojjo’ Moilanen, revealing this development on November 9th, 2015.
Vocalist Jonas Renkse issued the following statement: “We first met Mojjo back in 2009 where his band at the time, Engel had joined up with us and Paradise Lost on a UK tour and we soon realized we shared the same musical background and ideals. We stayed in touch over the years and when Daniel Liljekvist quit Katatonia in 2014 we decided to give Mojjo a call. He has now been with us for well over a year, so far only as a live member, but now is the time for him to join the Katatonia album cycle and most importantly – make his own impression on our new material. We can’t wait to see what this will lead to. Love him up!”
Moilanen shared the following words, meanwhile: “From 1993 via 2009 to 2014, from today and onward into future battles. I am thankful, delighted and proud to take part in the next phase of Katatonia and I am looking forward to the journey being as giving as it has been for the last 22 years.”
The departure of previous drummer Daniel Liljekvist following a 15-year tenure was confirmed on April 17th, 2014.
Ninth studio record Dead End Kings was released in August 2012.
