ok here's the deal... we have been supposed to enter the studio on two locations already but ended up postponing both because we simply didn't manage to come up with enough (fantastic) material yet. so we decided booking a studio and working towards a deadline won't work for us this time (while it did work on every album before) that's why we're now in a situation where we'll write the album first and THEN book the studio once we're confident the completed material represents our best. as u can tell, this has been the toughest process of our career trying write and top the last album. there's both a writer's block and pressure involved and we're also not sure were we're going 100%. one side of us wants to make songs like unfurl and explore that sound way deeper and one side wants to go the opposite, so who knows, maybe it'll end up being a balance of them both and not too far from The Great Cold Distance, but at the same time we're determined not to make two albums twice and the same after such a long time has passed inbetween the releases again. its' safe to say tho that we know we'll just follow our guts and go with what feels right for us at the very moment and hopefully it will all be worth it, and feel all right we're done, but it aint easy. we're looking at entering the studio again somwhere between summer-autumn, so the album will most certainly be a 2009 release and once again create a 3 year gap between them.

Unfurl is the most moving Katatonia song for me, especially if you are laying down staring into the night sky. A mix of Unfurl and whatever you guys think of will be perfect, take your time guys!

 

[LifeDepraved]

For me that's Quiet World...especially the lyrics.

 

[BlueSky]

Is this sharing time? Well I guess for me it's Dissolving Bonds.

*Awaits Stefans response.

I'm confused. You mean Dissolving Bonds is how you want them sound?

I'm hoping for a cool mix between the heavy (Consternation, Rusted etc.) and the calm (Unfurl) style. Maybe some LFDGD 4/4 style thrown in there as well Time will tell

 

[Vincent J.]

I think there can be found a good balance between the Unfurl-style, and the more organic heavy style. Even in the same song

 

[stefan86]

They already showed that in Consternation. Flat out awesome mix between the heavy parts and the almost ISIS-like clean melody. Beautiful song

"is the most moving Katatonia song for me"

 

[stefan86]

ah, okay. there's a lot of songs that are moving for different reasons. "Future of Speech" is the one that hits the closest to home I guess. "Right Into The Bliss", "Journey Through Pressure" and "Quiet World" are also very moving for me. "Chrome" remains my overall favourite though

 

[Brave.Archangel]

 

[the mourner13]

Journey Through Pressure is surely one of the most moving songs for me.

 

[doom_death]

one side of us wants to make songs like unfurl and explore that sound way deeper and one side wants to go the opposite.

Ok,what do you think, Anders is on true metal side, or on 'pussy-side' ?

 

[m0rtis]

he is talkin about their inner conflict , not that some of the members are on pussy side others are on the metal side .

Apparently he doesn't.

More pussy for us I suppose.

 

[Lisra]

Well I for one like pussy.
