Katatonia - Premiere New Song And Lyric Video
The official lyric video for the song "Old Heart Falls", from Swedish alternative rockers Katatonia, is now available for your eyes and ears down below. The track is taken from the band's upcoming tenth studio album, The Fall Of Hearts, which will be released on May 20th, 2016 through Peaceville Records.

Jonas Renkse comments about the song: "A song with lush textures, distinct dynamics and a memorable chorus are the trademarks to some of the most beloved Katatonia songs. 'Old Heart Falls' substantiates all of those attributes, but is not by any means defining the album as a whole. There is more to come..."
About the lyric video Anders Nyström adds: "Knowing we didn't want another 'font circus' with all these words and letters competing in olympic acrobatics, we decided to make it extremely simple but also very real... 30 years ago when we were active in the underground tape-trading scene, there were no computers around, so we had to write all our letters by hand, or when feeling extra motivated, we used a typewriter. I clearly remember writing letters on a typewriter with a ribbon directly to paper created a special feeling that no computer would ever emulate. So determined to bring back this feeling for a brief couple of minutes, we passed on our idea to our talented friend Lasse Hoile, who made sure this beautiful Royal typewriter served a final purpose before crawling all the way back to the start, returning to dust..."

If Old Heart Falls isn't what you were hoping for, this video might give you a little more confidence in the band. https://www.facebook.com/katatonia/videos/vb.5954199906/10153740198609907/

I liked the song! It had the "Love, Fear and Time Machine" vibe for me! Love Katatonia anyways!

For a moment there I thought something was wrong with my sound system. But it's not the case. Which means it's one of the most "bassy" songs I've heard in a while. Really low frequencies!

It's a decent song, what you would expect from Katatonia nowadays.

Good song, very reminiscent of Great Cold Distance album. It is Katatonia, you cannot mistake them with anyone else. I hope every song is at least as good as this one, since the last few deliveries from them were subpar.

Nice song, reminds me of the bonus track "Second." I like it.
