New song is so good. I listened to it 5 or 6 times in a row yesterday. Top quality stuff from a top quality band.

Sounds like a mixture of My Twin and Ashes... It's hard to say anything about a 1-minute clip.

That's why I did not bother...I'm (im)patiently waiting for the August release date...

Katatonia and Alcest are playing here in November, I really want to go but I don't have much money right now. Hopefully I'll win money or something, but otherwise it's kinda lame. Opeth is also playing here in December (unplugged show) and I haven't gotten tickets for that either, so I'm feeling a bit down. :/

Katatonia played in my hometown in 2010 but I wasn't familiar enough with their material and didn't go (something I regret now). Now they'll play 4 gigs in Finland, my hometown isn't on the list and the other places are too far away :( Oh, and Opeth aren't coming to Finland at all :sadpanda:

It was a rumor going around that Opeth and Katatonia were going to do another tour of the US together again

The new songs sound very good! :smiley: Dead Letters is my least favorite out of the 3 and Buildings is my favorite.

Listened to the new album today. It's noticeably less dark and aggressive than the last album, but there are still heavy moments not to mention the familiar depressive lyrics. Overall it's a great album if slightly more inconsistent quality-wise than their past stuff. That said, DEK is easily a 9/10 based on two listens.

Highlights/favorite parts:

The One You Are Looking For Is Not Here (that hypnotic Tool-like riff combined with female vocals is  :hefdaddy)
The Racing Heart (simply one of the most beautiful metal tracks I've ever heard)
Buildings (heaviest song on the album, prog riffs and melodies)
Leech (dat jazzy solo  :heart)
Ambitions (incredibly heartbreaking intro
Undo You (even though it's technically a "metal" track it would fit quite well on Opeth's Damnation or even on Heritage, amazing song)
Lethean (not sure how to describe this one besides it being amazing)
First Prayer (one of my favorite choruses on the album and of the band as a whole)
Dead Letters (most prog song on the album, absolutely brilliant track)

Looks like I haven't commented on the samples yet... Anyway, unless the samples are from the mellow sections of the songs, it sounds like DEK will be much softer than the previous few records. I'm ok with that, though, as while the softer songs on NITND took more time to grow on me than the heavy ones, some of them ended up being my favorites in the long run. I also feel that Katatonia pretty much perfected the alt metal thing on TGCD already.

For me it is as heavy as NITND, maybe more ambient and progressive, but is heavy enough all round, with the dynamics of the songs.

I bought the album yesterday and have given it three full spins. My favorite songs are The Racing Heart, Leech and Lethean. It's still too early to say if it's better than NITND or how high I would rank it but it's definitely a great album.

Wow. Just, wow. This album is just a-ma-zing. I've just started my second listen, but I enjoyed every second of the first one. "The Racing Heart" stood out as particularly awesome  - can't wait to hear it again.

If I thought Night is the New Day was slow, samey, and boring, what are the chances I'll like this? Saw it in a store, and I'd be willing to pick it up if it's good, especially since I'm seeing them live with Devy.

I don't think they have changed their style all that much. To some extent I can agree with "slow and samey" but definately not "boring". :) Why don't you head over to Youtube and check out some of their new stuff? "The Racing Heart" and "Lethean" comes to mind.

This album is far less samey. Pick it up.

Almost through my second listen. Great album, hasn't clicked as much as NitND had after the same amount of time, but it might grow more. I like the variety on it.

Yeah, for me Dead End Kings has taken more time to click than NITND although that one did need some repeated listens as well. BTW, am I the only one who thinks The Act of Darkening should've been the closer on the standard tracklisting (despite being different from the rest of the album)? Maybe it's just me but I find Dead Letters a bit underwhelming as the final song.

I've listened to the album about 5-6 times.  It's good, but not close to the last two, IMO.  The Racing Heart is the only track that has really prompted me to play it over and over.

It's easily better than NitND - which had plenty of samey filler songs, despite having a great sound.

One full listen to the new album and my first impression is that it reminds me of Discouraged Ones in that it has a laid back vibe, but still has intensity. It carries all the Katatonia trademarks while not being a rehash of the last album...looking forward to future spins.
