The latest album from Swedish doom rockers
Katatonia
, their first studio effort since 2006, is as moody and beautiful as their other latter-day work. The group's career can be marked in two stages based on the condition of singer
Jonas Renske
's vocal cords -- basically, after the band's first two albums, he developed health problems that prevented him from performing harsh death growls, and ever since the band has moved in an increasingly melodic direction, even covering songs by
Will Oldham
and
Jeff Buckley
. It's unsurprising to learn that
Opeth
's
Mikael Akerfeldt
helped out by performing the harsh vocals on
Brave Murder Day
album and
Sounds of Decay
EP in 1996 and 1997, since
Night Is the New Day
songs
"Forsaker"
"Idle Blood"
could be outtakes from that band's
Damnation
or
Blackwater Park
. Other tracks like
"The Longest Year,"
the hilariously titled
"Onward into Battle"
(a song this slow and lush would only inspire soldiers to lie down for a nap), and
"Liberation"
are slightly more unique with their use of programmed rhythms and trip-hop keyboards beneath and behind the crunching guitars. Overall, this is a very beautiful and reflective album, though at this point
are only notionally a metal band, much more focused on moody (as in
Moody Blues
) beauty than vulgar displays of power. ~ Phil Freeman
