Katatonia and Saturnus albums in close proximity oh my….

So telling me that there is a new Katatonia album on its way is like telling me that I’m going to gain a new friend this coming January.
Also, look, they did a song called ‘Birds’. After so many covers and logos containing the likenesses of our feathered friends (in various states of wellbeing, admittedly), birds will be finally getting a fully deserved sonic tribute. Yay to that

Loved the song that stops so abruptly. Still long way for the album.

Katatonia has officially become an indie rock band, and I’m not the least bit mad about it.

Perhaps not indie precisely, I find it in the vein of lighter metal/gothic bands, without intricate structure that requires more attention. Granted, it does offer a distinct Katatonia guitar sound to it. Good car musak for the coming season on the northern hemisphere (too bad the release date is past that season) after the first listen. If the rest of the album is like that, good, I call that sensitivity growing with their listeners.

After couple of latest releases my expectations have been somewhat scaled down. It is very nice to hear those famiiliar sounds, but it’s getting less and less exciting with every release. No surprises here, just an old formula with some slight deviations.

Great points. This is also a bit on the linear/poppy side of things. Oh, and man, those drums are dull AF after the brief bit of mild variants following the song’s opening. Still, always interested in hearing new Katatonia.

Agreed. It all feels a little flat and predictable. I felt the same about “Behind the Blood” and almost all of City Burials. It’s still Katatonia, but it’s missing the atmosphere and intention of their other releases over the last 20 years.

As long as they release quality stuff, I don’t care what genre they play. All “real fans” will probably be appalled when I tell you that old Katatonia is boring and sloppy. Their revered debut is simply terrible, as is Discouraged Ones. Brave Murder Day has some good moments, but it’s quite weak too. The band became really interesting on Viva Emptiness and have remained so until today. I’m glad to see that the new album apparently will continue that trend.

I’d rather listen to the The Great Cold Distance

Big time Katatonia fan here. The artwork is kinda lame imo. This thing with the birds is getting exhausting.
The song reminds me a bit of Serein bit worse than that.
Its a cool tune, but kinda “empty”. I miss the times when the songs had more weight and layers to it. This simplistic approach makes the band sound like Placebo and such.
