Maybe it started earlier, but I started to notice a new breed of dark, atmospheric progressive metal bands around the time Porcupine Tree started making a name for themselves. It wasn’t long after that when bands like Riverside starting getting bigger and bands like Katatonia started moving in that direction too. Votum is another one of those bands, but they actually do it even better. Their darker parts are more moody, their heavier parts are heavier, and their vocalist is much more expressive. On top of that, the songs themselves are just better. They’re catchier and more interesting. Just check out the opening track to hear what I am talking about. This is like a cross between Dead End Kings-era Katatonia blended with Rapid Eye Movement-era Riverside, but heavier and more entertaining than either one of those.

Brooding and atmospheric, Votum make some interesting shifts on the bizarrely titled :KTONIK:, slipping through post and progressive elements in a way that easily calls to fans of recent Katatonia albums.
