Music of 2009 - Part II
9. Katatonia - Night is the New Day
These Swedish metalheads sure know how to bring a person down. Night is the New Day see Katatonia continuing down the path of gloom and doom. Drawing influence from Fields of the Nephilim to Red House Painters, these mournful souls guide us down a dark road full fallen leaves and hanging willows. Each song is beautifully textured as to not overshadow the ones still to come and singer Jonas continues to find new ways of communicating the sadness of things. Mr. Mellotron is the driving sound on this disc of nightshade and will lull you into a sleep full of shadows and red. Great for any fan of somber and tragic music.
