This is a nice album by the Swedish death/doom
metal band Katatonia. It's filled with slow, heavy, guitar-based very melodic
symphonies about tormented souls and painful sorrow. The vocals are
traditional death metal growling by Lord J. Renkse, not as well done as bands
like Tristania but still better than average. The music is as mentioned above
slow and heavy, mostly based on great melodic guitars accompanied by not very
protruding drums and bass. This album contains one of the best songs I've
ever heard - track No 6 Velvet Thorns - when you have heard that one I assure
you you would want this album right away! The only thing you could remark on
is that except for that song the album sounds very similar all the way through
and you could get tired of their music rather quickly. Still, Katatonia is
definitely one of the best Swedish bands in this genre during the 90s. The
album was recorded at Unisound Studios April 4-9 1993, produced by the great
Dan Swanö, mixed and engineered by Dan Swanö and Day D'Syrrah, who also did
all the keyboards. If you like melodic doom/death you will probably like this
one.
