In 2014, Eriksson and Katatonia “mutually agreed to part ways” due to “a difference in views” and Eriksson’s decision to live in Barcelona . Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief temporarily filled in Eriksson for the band’s May tour, while Tomas Åkvik filled in on guitar afterwards in mid-2014. Longtime drummer Liljekvist also left the band in April 2014, on friendly terms, citing personal and financial reasons. The band released another live album, Sanctitude , on 31 March 2015. In November 2015, the band announced Daniel Moilanen as their new drummer and revealed that they were working on a new album to be released in 2016. The album, The Fall of Hearts was released on 20 May 2016. The album, as well as featuring new drummer Daniel Moilanen, was also the first to feature new guitarist Roger Öjersson ; who replaced Eriksson’s position as second guitarist. Two singles were released in promotion of the album, ” Old Heart Falls ” and ” Serein “. The band continued touring in support of the album in 2017, including a North American tour that started in March.
