even official snow mobile roads are 99% safe, but we ride over all and be in ice its always at your own risk, and mid april is my border when I go on the ice
We have one ice road for cars, in Luleå you can drive car to small islands . To get to the town I need cross 6 lakes, by snow mobile and almost all roads cross some water way. I gass as crazy when I cross rivers or big big lakes
When I first heard the first single from City Burials, "Lacquer", I actually hoped, no matter how absurd that would be, that the rest of the album would be in that vein. That didn't happen. But surprise, the album is still pretty good.
Follows the path of its predecessor with more variety.
Still, the best treat to the ears so far in these times of confinement.
Beautiful opening and ending tracks.
Highlights: Heart Set To Divide, Vanishers, Flicker, Untrodden.
Thats Why After All This Years With Millions Bands Out There KaTaToNia Still My Number #1 BAND All Of The TIME
12 Amazing TraX
At First Time You Listen To This Album It Feels A Little Bit Strange To Ear .. But The More You Listen More You Drown And Falling Love With This One <3 And You Got EARGASM
I wonder if other bands are somewhat jealous of Katatonia and their ability to stay engaging without straying one iota from their formula. Great album and can't imagine them sounding any different, if that makes any sense.
I really enjoyed their recent work and this is the best of the the last three, just because the song writing is really tight. Dead End Kings and Fall Of Hearts both had songs that sounded cool but went nowhere but this time I feel like every track delivers on its promise. Really glad to see the boys back from their break and killing it
Surprisingly good album. I really like this new direction - it's something refreshing while they still have this "atmosphere" factor. This is the kind of music I'll be listening to while riding across a city at night.
This album lacks a certain natural flow, however individually the songs are mostly what I expected... pure bliss! I can't help but love that Jonas is using his voice with a lot more variety here. Something I have been wishing for a long, long time and felt was missing heavily on previous albums.
So many famous bands tried to change their music to stay relevant and interesting, but failed miserably (for example kamelot, within temptation and in flames)
katatonia is a Band that succeeded in this
IMHO City Burials is a great example of how incredibly talented and inspired this band is
The album is very captivating and beautiful, it sounds different and refreshing, but it also sounds very "katatonia like"
Seems like I am in minority here, but for me this album is just bad. Uninspired, forced lyrics, immemorable songs with bad refrains and over-produced music. Yes, they know how to play their instruments, and Jonas sounds great, but as an album - it is just not good. The Fall of Hearts (for exapmle) was so much better album. Oh, yes, the solo in the last song Untrodden is amazing. And that is pretty much it.
P.s., this comes from the one of the biggest fans of the band (15 years and counting).
WTF is this doing on metalstorm??? Am I on the wrong site???????
It amazes me that you raised doubt on the credibility of a band whose rank is 19 on MS and have fairly good album ratings throughout their discography.

I am struggling to understand what your thought process was while posting this.
Well, don't get this the wrong way guys but I don't owe you an explanation for not liking pop sounding music on my favourite metal site. I just expressed my honest opinion, deal with it like adults.

Of course you don't owe an explanation to anyone just like Metal Storm doesn't owe you an explanation for the fact that Katatonia is here. It's pretty self-explanatory.

That makes zero sense. Are we not allowed to ask questions and/or critique the site?
All I did was ask a simple question and all of the fanboys came out of the woodwork ready for a fight just because I disagree with them.
