Three varied albums for this creatively exploded Norwegian duo. An album less phreaked than Neonism, slicker, classier, more majestically modern black.
First thing ya notice is this record’s really loud, like louder than everything in the CD changer, loud like their buddies’n’countrymen Guitar Wolf is loud.
The result of recording difficulties and saddled with an awkward album title, Katatonia wears those Opeth comparisons more deliberately than ever before.
She’s one of the original Bad Seeds, co-wrote some of their more troubling songs, and has offered her vocals to Einstürzende Neubauten and Mick Harvey.
