17:38 - drf1223 The problem with live Opeth now is that they always play an acoustic set now of 3-4 songs, what I'm not particularly fond of. This time could be spent to play half of Still Life instead, in my opinion.
17:30 - Megaherz Am I the only Chinese on? :o wow I feel so special :D
16:53 - EMols86 @Jaeryd17 First time you saw them live? Last time I saw them they didn't play any heavy songs, at least not songs with growls. Which songs did they play?
16:20 - BoxCar Willy I'm fairly certain it's a pun, and I'm fairly certain you're an illiterate butcher of the English language.
15:03 - Cynic Metalhead From the review of Kylsea's Ultraviolet : ""If you don't like this pun you can F.O.A.D because it's brilliant." What? it's not even a pun. stupid SoxCar Silly.
13:22 - Zaphod @Lit. And yet people keep giving them attention...

With Katatonia's follow-up to 2009's Night Is The New Day, Dead End Kings continues the trend starting with that album, or arguably even The Great Cold Distance, and focuses on a mellow, atmospheric sound that encompasses the overall feel of the record. This direction for the band may have perhaps stemmed from lead singer Jonas Renkse having to take control over a bulk of the songwriting after guitarist Anders Nyström suffered a case of writer's block during the previous album's recording sessions; Nyström was nevertheless able to contribute to this album. While Night Is The New Day indeed succeeded with this initial goal of emphasizing atmosphere over aggression, Katatonia continued to improve upon this style for their next record, and the result is a much more united and consolidated effort.
I really liked NItND, so I am really looking forward to this release. What I really hope is more heavy awesomeness combined with thrilling, atmospherical parts like I found in "Departer" especially the part from 2:50 to 3:10. I'm hoping Jonas will experience a bit more with his voice like that. I really liked it.
I am very much looking forward to this release! I will have plenty of time to absorb it before I head up to Los Angeles on September 8 to see the songs performed live (as well as the first time I ever see the band live). It should be absolutely breathtaking.
Btw, just heard the new single, "Dead Letters", and it is a truly amazing song. This album is going to be incredible, I just know it.
This album is going to be astounding, I'm sure. Katatonia has had a continuous sense of growth and direction in their career and, judging from Dead Letters and how much of a masterpiece their last release was, well, needless to say, this is going to be killer too. August 28th couldn't come soon enough!

Huh... really? I didn't know that, thanks
I thought it was Jonas at first but then I checked the booklet

you are right they do
oh yeah me too can't wait anymore!
The song Lethean. Sounds amazing! Even better than Dead Letters! I don't think the song has been officially released yet, but someone has posted the song on Youtube nonetheless.
Great album. Best song is The Racing Heart, what an ending! Also loved The Parting, Undo You, Buildings, First Prayer, and Lethean. Worst 2 songs are Dead Letters and The One You are Looking For is Not Here.
Just heard the album. As I said before, they won't disappoint and they didn't. It's an awesome album.. at least I like it, much.
Almost same as the guy who commented before, I liked The Parting, Lethean, First Prayer, Ambitions, Hypnone, and Buildings too. Also, I don't think "The One You Are Looking For is Not Here" is so bad.
Got the ltd. deluxe edition in my posession already My shop had the launch date incorrect or something so they sent it earlier. It's awesome!
Like I said earlier, it's everything I expected. Jonas is even more diverse with his voice which is what I wanted to hear. The music itself is one continuous flow of awesome, mixing mellow, almost peaceful parts of music with more heavy parts. It's just missing a nice growl here and there. Hence a nine.
I am very much looking forward to this release! I will have plenty of time to absorb it before I head up to Los Angeles on September 8 to see the songs performed live (as well as the first time I ever see the band live). It should be absolutely breathtaking.
Btw, just heard the new single, "Dead Letters", and it is a truly amazing song. This album is going to be incredible, I just know it.
I'll see you there I saw Katatonia + Opeth last year and Katatonia literally made me shit my Pants! Insanely anxious to hear what they have to offer their fans this time. I like 'Night is the New Day', but it honestly could have been much more
Are you as excited as i am for the rest of the show? Townsend + Paradise Lost

The show should be awesome too. I really liked Paradise Lost's new album. They should kick ass live.
