Night Is the New Day is the eighth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Katatonia.

The band describes the material as "Our most varied, diverse and possibly strongest shit all together on one and the same album".

[6] The album shows a slightly more progressive sound than The Great Cold Distance, yet retains the heaviness and morose atmosphere, with electronics and synths playing an important role.

[4] "Forsaker" starts aggressively but soon the down-tuned metal chords shift to chiming darkwave strains.

[7] "The Longest Year" intertwines synth and metal passages,[4] while the acoustic style of "Idle Blood" is comparable to Opeth and Porcupine Tree.
