October Tide is a Swedish death-doom band formed in 1994 by Katatonia vocalist Jonas Renkse and guitarist Fred Norrman. Norrman revived the band after leaving Katatonia in 2009.

History

1995–1999

October Tide's debut album, Rain Without End, was recorded in 1995 and released on Vic Records in 1997. During this period, October Tide kept a low profile, without touring or giving interviews. October Tide disbanded after releasing their second album, Grey Dawn, in 1999.

2009–2011

After leaving Katatonia, Norrman reformed October Tide in early 2009. The new line-up didn't include Renske but instead consisted of Norrman on guitars, singer Tobias Netzell from In Mourning, drummer Robin Bergh, and session bassist Jonas Kjellgren. The band entered the studio to record a new album. October Tide signed to Candlelight Records in March 2010.

In July 2010, October Tide performed at Hell's Pleasure Metalfest. Bassist Johan Jansson replaced Kjellgren for the show.

A Thin Shell was released on 28 September 2010. After the album's release, bass player Pierre Stam joined the band.

2012–present

In March 2012, Netzell and Stam left the band and were replaced with Alexander Högbom and Mattias Norrman, respectively. October Tide signed with Pulverised Records in April 2012. The band entered Black Lounge Studios in late 2012 to record the album Tunnel of No Light, released on 25 March 2013.

In 2015, drummer Robin Bergh was replaced with Jocke Wallgren. In Splendor Below was released on 17 May 2019.
