The Scanner Sees Darkly S Metal Crusader B I was sent their album Viva Emptiness by a friend. It was pretty damn good. I wouldn't mind hearing more by them. Get their newest one, if you ask me. Some of the stuff is pretty sexy. The same friend who sent me Viva Emptiness also sent me one of the new albums songs and judging by that, it sounded pretty awesome.

Idle Blood is off the new one. I also like Forsaker (even though the metalcore-esque guitar part gets a bit annoying at times) and The Longest Year.

Just by listening to one track from their first album, I can already tell that Katatonia's early stuff is far, FAR better than their clean vocal stuff. Not to say I didn't mind it, but the situation reminds me of Sentenced going soft after North From Here. They REALLY went to s**t after that album, more so when Taneli Jarva left.
That being said, even the first album doesn't really catch me. For something that sounds like it'd be Death/Doom, the thick, oppressive, crushing atmosphere of bands like Morgion and Evoken just isn't there, so it just doesn't catch me.
Composition-wise it isn't bad, but atmosphere is a huge aspect of the Death/Doom and Funeral Doom sounds, so if a band from either genre is missing that, then forget it.

I haven't even really bothered looking at their early stuff. I'm not really sure why, but I haven't.
I agree with how they'd be disappointing if you were looking for a doom metal band, but I still adore them for some odd reason. I don't know. It's hard to explain my liking for Katatonia. I have the same problem with The Burning of Rome, The Dead Pirates, The Polyphonic Spree, and some others.
