“Katatonia‘s brand of depressive post-metal has not changed so much in the years since they released The Fall of Hearts. At its heart, the band’s sound is built around slow, lilting tunes in a minor key, with a clear and unaffected voice hovering above the fray.” So, has Angry Metal Guy’s Law of Diminishing Recordings™ finally caught up with these Swedes?
The Fall of Hearts
Katatonia – The Fall of Hearts Review
“You might consider a band to be losing momentum when they go four years without releasing any original music, yet Katatonia‘s profile has risen since 2012’s Dead End Kings. With two live albums as well as Dethrowned and Uncrowned – a mellow reworking of Dead End Kings – under their collective belt since then, they’ve managed to keep their name in the press despite a lack of new material. If any band deserves this continued level of recognition and praise it’s Katatonia.” Praise to the sad boys!
