But it still sounds like OCTOBER TIDE.” Next to Fredrik Norrman, the band’s current line-up also features second guitarist Mattias Norrman (ex – KATATONIA), vocalist Alexander Högbom (ex – DEMONICAL), bassist Johan Jönsegård (LETTERS FROM THE COLONY) and drummer Jonas Sköld (LETTERS FROM THE COLONY / THENIGHTTIMEPROJECT).
