Katatonia, a band that has courageously never stopped evolving their sound. In his previous album ( "Dethroned and Uncrowned") they turned towards progressive metal, using synthesizers and instruments that manage to create an oppressive atmosphere dismal. In this new album, they show that they are comfortable in that way to convey the way they feel the music, achieving a very interesting album, much more nostalgic. Open the album with a theme that is a sample of what we will hear, "Takeover", which rises in a crescendo, begins soft and then hardens and a dark and dreary atmosphere becomes. It has two symphonic songs, "Old Falls Hearts" and "The Night Subscriber" with a symphonic metal play very well made, where the guitars manage to break this general oppressive layer. But if we were adapting ourselves to this new way to give us his music, appear "Pale Flag" and "Passer" where there are so many effects, more direct, where the main voice is not adorned with vocals, drums and guitar mark harshly back just a little to his old vein. Clearly, this shift towards the metal prog them feel perfect.
