Sweeeet.

I still need to hear Viva Emptiness.

FUCK YES

FINALLY

Hopefully it will be a bit more heavy.

It could easily not be heavy and still be the best thing they've ever done, to be honest.

I just didn't like how little variation there was on The Great Cold Distance. I would like a few tracks with some heavy sections.

Heavier or not, this will be great.

Katatonia doesn't seem much like a "face ownage" band. They're pretty mellow these days.

I'm glad they're finally doing this. I remember them saying before they were in a creative slump, but it seems they've come out of that strong and confident. I couldn't be happier.

i just started listening to the Great Cold distance again... my hopes are high. great band

A cold album for the cold dark autumn. Even though I think the coming fall will be better than any year I've ever had I am looking forward to watching the leaves fall with them in my ears.

"face ownage" lol ... get akerfeldt back with harsh vocals for murder day 2

i loved TGCD, one of the best of '09 right here

get akerfeldt back with harsh vocals for murder day 2

Looking forward to this. Needs to be heavier though.

Thats what I said but all the fanboys snuffed me.

Looking forward to this.

aw fuck I thought this was about Catationia. Got all excited for nothing

Katatonia are better.

This is quite good news

yay happiness yay

This is one band I can say has been consistently awesome since the beginning. Can't wait for this one.

Just tack this on to a stellar 2009. New Primordial, Katatonia, Drudkh, Orphaned Land, Ensiferum, and quite possibly Dark Tranquillity still to go. Hail the old gods...

this will be awesome, but

get akerfeldt back with harsh vocals for murder day 2

leteg;ns;doghp-9eohgnhaqeh

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Altmer is gay

Akerfeldt isn't coming back for harsh vocals. They've said that in interviews.

'tis just wishful thinking man

BMD part 2 would be sweet. I just hope that after three years Katatonia learned how to play with ""dynamics""

Their last record was super dynamic.

I want to see them go in a direction like they did on Unfurl. That would be the best album of this year, hands down.

Will probably be just as heavy as their last album, which is a good thing. I honestly prefer their last 4 albums to their older death/doom stuff.

Wow....well said!

Metal doesn't have to be heavy to be good.
