Katatonia, Night is the New Day

Sweden, 2009

"Night Is The New Day" is, in just about every way, a very good album. Highly melodic yet deceptively dissonant at times, each tune in this album will find its own place as you listen more and more. Absolutely one of the biggest metal releases of the year 2009.
