Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance (2006)

 

The seventh album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, sound effects, programming and vocals.

A number of guests added percussion, drums, sound effects, programming and backing vocals.

The band returned again after a three years long album break.

This album is clocking in at just over fifty minutes.

The band started out as a death doom metal band before they slowly were transformed into an alternative metal band.

The music here is indeed alternative metal with mostly clean vocals. There are some djent and some death metal and distorted vocals here too, but they are few and far between. 

The music is mid-tempo hard rocking with some cascading guitars. 

Most of the music is really good and this album is up to this point their best album. I am not won over yet, but this is still a good album.

3 points
