new album is called City Burials, will be released in April. 58 minutes, some of the song titles include "Heart Set to Divide", "Lacquer", "City Glaciers", "Burials", "Behind the Blood", "Rein", and "Untrodden". one thing of note is that there will be more guitar solos and some 80s heavy metal influence.

Well damn the new single is not what I was expecting at all after that comment.



Anyway the store page says:

"Inspired by an injection of fresh blood into Katatonia’s creative brew, City Burials is an album that sees the band reclaim part of their heavy metal roots, via several moments of exuberant, old school classicism, deftly woven into these new songs’ kaleidoscopic fabric."

Yes, I hear no heavy metal in that. Can't believe it's been over 10 years since they released Night Is the New Day. That and Brave Murder Day are my favourites by them.

Inspired by an injection of fresh blood into Katatonia’s creative brew, City Burials is an album that sees the band reclaim part of their heavy metal roots, via several moments of exuberant, old school classicism, deftly woven into these new songs’ kaleidoscopic fabric. Although songs like Behind The Blood and Rein are as heart-rending and immersive as any in Katatonia’s illustrious catalogue, it is both a surprise and a thrill to hear the band throwing caution to the wind and kicking some serious ass, albeit in moderation...

“Maybe it’s a little bit unexpected for us to do that, but it’s something that we wanted to play around with a little bit,” Jonas grins. “We’re not the youngest guys anymore and we all grew up with heavy metal music. On the last tour we did, we played a Judas Priest cover every night, Night Comes Down, and it was so fun to do it, we thought that maybe we should have some ‘80s heavy metal stuff thrown into our music for the hell of it and see how it works out. I think it works really well. it’s something that we’ll probably enjoy doing live, that kind of riffing and the solos. It’ll be fun to take that to the stage."

PSA: the excellent (formerly) iTunes exclusive bonus track "Wide Awake in Quietus" is now on Google Play without the shitty quiet "mastering for iTunes" that it previously had.

Minus BMD and DEK I just can't get into this band.

I understand why they're loved so much though.

Loved the vocals in Lacquer, weird how it was fully electronic but I liked it. Think it will be awesome in album context
