Katatonia part ways with guitarist and co-founder Anders Nyström

Swedish metal band Katatonia have revealed that guitarist Anders Nyström has left the group he helped launch in 1991. Vocalist and fellow co-founder Jonas Renkse shared the following statement today via social media:

"Anders Nyström and I are going our separate ways. A decision not taken lightly, but for everyone to thrive and move forward with their own creative preferences as well as personal schedules this has become the realistic option. Anders and I started the band in 1991 and his impact on the band's trademark sound is undeniable. As bleak as this sounds, and is, it's further evidence of life getting in the way of our preferred plans. I wish Anders all the best for the future."
