The mournful maestros cross the pond to air out tracks from their very relatably titled new album, Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State. <\/p>\n<p>This has been a bit of a divisive one for fans, coming after a split between co-founders Jonas Renkse and Anders Nystrom, with Nystrom leaving the group, and the songs not quite reaching the highs of a Brave Murder Day. And yet, this is a group that\u2019s gone from death\/doom innovators to goth-prog bards, so it\u2019s a sure thing they\u2019ve got a few more chameleonic tricks up their sleeve. Only Florida show, so you just might be sadder than a song from Dance of December Souls if you miss out. <\/p>\n<p>7 p.m. Friday, March 6, The Beacham, 46 N.
