Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Katatonia was formed in 1991 by Anders Nyström and Jonas Renske & their debut album, `Dance of December Souls', was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lot & My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined & structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became third album `Discouraged Ones'; the main evolution point for modern day Katatonia. On the back of the monumental & most successful album to date, 2006's `The Great Cold Distance' - including 3 singles & an American & European tour - there came a period of soul-searching from the Swedes, facing a task of making a wor- thy & relevant successor to the ground-breaking album. With a conscious effort not to merely repeat themself, Katatonia took their time with their next steps, while Anders & Jonas also remained busy with death metal group Bloodbath, alongside Mikael & Martin from Opeth. Night is the New Day' is Katatonia's eighth studio album. It was recorded throughout July 2009 & was co-produced, engineered and mixed by David Castillo. A continuation of the heaviness, depth & atmosphere of their previous album, `Night Is the New Day' is also a more multi-dimensional effort - waltzing between prog moments, doom, folk & the classic melodic anthems that are the staple of Katatonia's uncompromising sound, completed by the haunting tones of Jonas Renkse's vocal journeys of urban & emotional decay.

Mind blowing dark, "soft" progressive metal 5 out of 5 stars
Katatonia has been slowly forcing their listeners to redefine exactly what constitutes being a "Heavy Metal" band with each new release they put out. On "Night Is The New Day" genre labels no longer seem appropriate to describe the music contained within. The majority of songs on this album are relatively soft, sometimes almost soothing, although the lyrics remain as dark as ever. What really makes Katatonia unique is that even on the softest, quitest moments of the album there is a sense of musical ... Read More
