Aren't there anybody who misses the Old Katatonia.. Everybody seems to be quite happy with the new form..
Well, as a start, the Revival was really cool.. It was a little of Black Metal sound and lyrics, but still succesful..
For funerals to come was also cool.. the Lyrics of the same song, just kills..
"Through the bleak window of my soul
In marble halls of falling snow
Winter touch the Earth undone
Embittered we embrace the funerals to come.."
Both had beautiful instrumentals, too.. They are not creating instrumantals any more..
Dance of December Souls is a supreme album.. I still insist, that the Lyrics are written by Mikael Akerfeldt.. I'm really sure of it, it is just his style.. the Vocals on some parts of the songs are incredible.. Like when he says the words ' Sorrow ' or ' Death ' or ' Die ' and that sort, his brutal goes so deep and sorrowful, like a dirge..
Brave Murder Day.. Everyone would join me, that it is a very well done album.. Mikael's vocals are marvelous as always.. I also like the lyrics of this album very much..
Sounds of Decay.. Again Mikael's vocals, and again a supreme album.. All three songs are beyond beauty.. Especially 'Nowhere' is extraordinary.. And also the lyrics of course..
' Everything is real, but I'm not here.. I've lost my strength, somewhere nowhere.. Used to care about weather.. Used to plan the days that came.. Used to try and watch you.. Used to know my name.. Someone said : ' Remember.. ', but I can't remember.. Anything at all.. anything at all.. '
And so, the New Katatonia starts here with Discouraged ones.. They are re-shaping, and going softer.. Like known examples of Anathema, or a better known --> Metallica..
With the new style, they created again beautiful songs, but there were a lot of crap, too.. Some songs with awful lyrics, and some songs with awful music.. And some with awful vocals..
Discouraged Ones, I cannot like though I listened a hundred of times.. ' Gone ' is special among others, it is really very very good.. and We can add one or two more average songs near that, the rest are all failure.. Lyrics, except ' Gone ' are crap..
Tonight's Decision.. Still it is lack of something.. ' Strained ', ' I'm nothing ', and ' a Darkness Coming ' are nice songs, but with one or two to be added, the album again is not above average.. the Lyrics are good this time.. At least better than discouraged ones..
And the last album.. I think it is the worst album of Katatonia.. the Only song I could like was ' the Future of Speech '.. ' the Passing Bird ' also is a little good, and all the others are all akind.. Similar to each other and lack of atmosphere..
Well for the reasons why Katatonia turned softer.. Of course it is the Financial status.. If they would stay hard, and continue on the Old Katatonia, they would be known less, and they would earn less.. As mentioned before, they followed the path of Metallica and Anathema..
So I miss old Katatonia.. At least I wanna hear it in the concerts.. Damn they are all playing from the New Katatonia !! Whatever.. Stay hard..
