Huh, Novembrine Waltz was re-released? is there any notice about this somewhere?
Anyways, I've been mostly listening to the entire Anathema discography and the new Katatonia. The new Katatonia is quite easily their best album yet and this comes from someone who was never into the band aside from Viva Emptiness and the 2 albums before it. The new one really makes it for me, songs like Forsaken, Idle Blood and Day & Then the Shade, are simply phenomenal works of art. Unlike other releases, this one shows an incredible maturity on their side, but of course, I know some of the avid fans around this place will contest my comment
. I kind of think I can hear some Novembrine Waltz influences in the song "Day and then the Shade", the rhythm kind of reminds me of songs like Come Pierrot and Everasia.
When it comes to Anathema, I've been mostly a fan of later day Anathema, especially anything released after "The Silent Enigma", excluding "Eternity", which I hadn't heard so much until this weekend and well, Anathema are certainly ranking in my top 3 again. It's like the kind of band I'd say has not done any mistakes in their career with any album.
