KATATONIA - Dance Of December Souls (12" LP on Black Vinyl)
Sweden | Doom/Death, Depressive Rock
Detailed Description
Recorded at Unisound Studios, April 1993 and released later that same year, the engineering and mixing was by Dan Swan- (Opeth). On Dance Of December Souls, Katatonia delivered a more Doom/Black Metal styled music, whilst also displaying the trademark sorrowful and hypnotic guitar melodies which are still evident in the band's work. The album exudes an atmosphere of melancholy - accentuated by the growled, despairing vocals of Jonas - and established Katatonia as one of the leaders of the Gothic Doom movement (alongside the likes of My Dying Bride and Anathema).
