CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Sweden's Katatonia - Jonas Renkse (vocals, guitars, programming), Anders Nystrom (guitars, keyboards, programming), Fred Norrman (guitars), Mattias Norrman (bass), Daniel Liljekvist (drums & percussion) - are back with an outstanding follow-up to 2000's critically-acclaimed 'Last Fair Deal Gone Down'. Produced by Nystrom & Renkse & recorded at Soundtrade Studios in their hometown of Stockholm, 'Viva Emptiness' sees Katatonia really expanding in their self belief. Stillwith their hallmark tears of sorrow spilling over the songs, there is now also a confidence & warmth about the band that adds a new dynamic to the sound. 13 tracks. Peaceville. 2003. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFirst great album by Katatonia Alvaro Rodriguez | New York, NY | 11/12/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I don't think Katatonia's previous albums are masterworks, but I think this one is. I believe Viva Emptiness consolidates the maturity of their style; a style that evolved after they switched the old vocals for clean ones. In the transition albums, the music was more predictable and the vocals were overly timid. This album shows that Katatonia has grown comfortable in their style, not overdoing the songs, keeping a perfect balance of eclecticism, elegance and aggression, and, finally, singing with conviction.
This is a review that comes years after the release of the album. I believe The Great Cold Distance is equally good to Viva Emptiness if not better. I have not yet made up my mind on Night is the New Day." |
