One thing that is often overlooked about Katatonia songs is the absolut stunning drumming! The drumfills in this track are so god damn hooking its awesome! I love this track so much.

@@marcp.1752 On the other hand you get a ton of variety with katatonia. They usually have 2-3 consecutive albums with the same style and then change it up, while keeping the awesome distinctive vocals. Makes everything fresh imo.

LYRICS: I thought things would take off But they cooled down Your voice on the phone I hear traffic behind Violent rain Outside looking out Looking up Fragments of sky Looking to leave Transmit and deceive Kill off the fortune tellers You say that woe is always on your mind You drag me back in for a breath of comfort No longer telling wrong from right The ghostlike horizon of your eye I hear things aren't well Since you sold me out I remember you clear Your rituals of doubt With city lights from 1988 Sprinkled like dust On your window pane You say that woe is always on your mind You drag me back in for a breath of comfort No longer telling wrong from right The ghostlike horizon of your eye Maelstrom I'm drifting away I'm staying under You fall back to aged ideals Controlled by thunder Ruled by dishonour Come feel I am not real Woe is always on your mind You drag me back in for a breath of comfort No longer telling wrong from right The ghostlike horizon of your eye

This whole album is such an epic journey. How do they keep doing it?! I wish I had some power to reach the band to express my deep gratitude and utter awe at this masterpiece

[@YuryVVV]

The mixing is definitely very interesting, made me wonder if the voice was Jonas' at all, but I loved it. The subtle complexity is very tasteful, the vocal melodies are catchy, the guitar solo is top-tier. Man. I love this band so much.

[@orbital486]

Jacob Hansen mixed this, threw me off initially, but it's his signature style

[@avsilnedras]

The production of this album reminds me Dead End Kings and The Fall of Hearts whereas City Burials kinda reminds me The Great Cold Distance, I love that they sound different each record, and this song is just flawless and the chorus is catchy as hell

[@Aenigmakil]

City Burials definitely didn't remind me of The Great Cold Distance. It reminded me of Dead End Kings. Hearts was better than both

[@golgotha85]

@@Aenigmakil Blasphemy! The Great Cold Distance IS Katatonia! Fall of Hearts was too progressive/boring for me.

@@golgotha85 I need to clarify my comment. Fall was better than Dead End Kings and City Burials. The Great Cold Distance is better than ALL! And my favourite band is Opeth so I love prog. Nothing is too progressive for me.

@@Aenigmakil i don't know...Dead end kings is a masterpiece.

Dead End Kings is the only Katatonia album I dislike with only Lethean being the only song I listen to. Personally I love Night Is the New Day, with Great Cold Distance just inches behind. Fall of Hearts was too soft for me aswell.

When - in a couple of years at most - stable diffusion reaches the level where we would have trouble distinguishing it from reality, those uncanny valley images of today will become a genre on its own, just like pixelart is.

How?

[@Dosenpruegel]

@@VulgrimOfficial Jonas Renske was fetaured as a vocalist on Silver Lakes album (among other great ones like Nordmann, Björn Strid, Tomi Joutsen, Anneke van Giersbergen, freeking Einar Solberg)

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

Katatonia frontman Jonas Renkse sums the feel of the track best this way; Energetic and dark, stern and disenchanted. Yes, that's exactly what emotions it will pull and the atmosphere it will convey as you listen. As for the meaning of the track, I believe it's about disillusionment that comes from being pulled so far away from one's expectations that nothing makes sense anymore. The world seems to have become almost fragmented - no telling who can be trusted, when it all reads as lies.

[@positivelastaction3957]

This is absolutely fantastic. Cinematic and atmospheric and hard - like Mastodon, just genius.

IMHO, this video is the best graphic expression of what their music carries within.

[@TurningoftheTides]

There's sweet irony in the music video for "austerity" being made with AI images... really getting into the spirit of budget cuts 😆

[@tom_stephen]

It's even more ironic if you read the lyrics: "I hear things aren't well / Since you sold me out" (artist pov), "Controlled by thunder / Ruled by dishonour" (employers? XD), and especially "Come feel / I am not real". I know it's over-interpretation here, but heck, hits hard. Also poor quality of AI images fits somehow desolate images lyrics describe (though still wouldn't advocate for such unethical, bad practice to visualise desolation).
