Night Is the New Day by Katatonia
Night Is the New Day is Katatonia's eighth full-length album. It was released on 2 November 2009 in Europe and on 10 November 2009 in North America through Peaceville Records. Thirteen tracks were recorded, eleven of which made it onto the record. The band describes the material as "our most varied, diverse and possibly strongest shit all together on one and the same album". This is the last Katatonia release with the Norrman brothers.
Katatonia’s otherworldly gift for gloomy atmosphere is clear on <i>Night is the New Day</i>, as the moody Swedish band employs dramatic string arrangements (“Idle Blood”), airy synth undercurrents (“Liberation”) and heavy metal that segues from sinister, overdriven guitar into sparkling, expansive breakdowns (“Day and Then the Shade”).
