“KATATONIA’S REVERED FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM OF METALLIC MELANCHOLY, NOW MASTERED AT HALF-SPEED FOR A SUPERIOR SOUND. PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL.
‘Tonight’s Decision’, Katatonia’s debut release for Peaceville Records, was the band’s fourth album & found the Swedes further developing the more structured style explored on their previous album ‘Discouraged Ones’.
Immediately heralded as a classic by fans, ‘Tonight’s Decision’ stylistically builds on the refined ‘shoe-gazing’ qualities of their previous album, while simultaneously exploring the more impactful metallic possibilities of the evolving Katatonia sound. Jonas’s growing interest in singer/songwriters is reflected in the album’s sound & wonderfully exemplified by the thoughtful & moving rendition of Jeff Buckley’s ‘Nightmares By The Sea’. The brilliant combination of Anders’ haunting guitar work & Jonas’s potent lyrics evokes images of urban decay & emotional turmoil in a way unique to this always searching band.
‘Tonight’s Decision’ was recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studios in Sweden, with drums on the album performed by metal maestro, Dan Swanö.
