GALLERY: KATATONIA, THE OCEAN and CELLAR DARLING Live at The Opera House, Toronto

Swedish metal band Katatonia recently stopped by the Opera House in Toronto during the second week of their current North American tour. This was their first time returning to Canada in five years, as the band had gone on a short hiatus following their previous visit in 2017. Katatonia are joined on this tour by The Ocean, a progressive metal band from Germany, and Cellar Darling, a progressive folk metal band from Switzerland. Though the music of the three bands varies in terms of heaviness, they all share some atmospheric and moody elements that help them to complement each other nicely.

Here are some of the epic moments of the evening:
