I got a promo-sampler ep *phew* of Katatonia's "Viva Emptiness" album containing;
1. Ghost of the Sun
2. Criminals
3. Evidence
I must say it was quite different from their other releases, my spontaneous comment was "Linkin Park goes doom". Okay, it's not NU-metal, don't worry (if you now do), but it still has the same kind of catchy melodies and strong choruses as earlier mentioned band (and others), but a degree (several) darker.
One thing that kind of annoyed me is Jonas Renske's attempt to "sound american" :Smokin: when his swedish accent shines through so clear. Oh well... I just hope that this "misstake" won't be repeated in a larger scale in the future.
My favorite track is definitely "Ghost of the Sun" so far. On the track "Evidance" Renske sound quite a lot like a certain J. Hetfield in the chorus. I think you'd have the same view hearing it.
What are your views? I feel positive.
