Katatonia - "Lacquer" (video)
A circuit's end
The house we lived in
Stricken with blight
Finding ways to kill the pain
(Kill the pain, kill the pain)
Let the river run wild
Dreams shattering
Aerial sound
Scrape the lacquer
Can't you see it's all tarnished?
Tried the poise
To radiate
Tried my words
To illustrate
Finding ways to end the pain
(Ways to end the pain, ways to end the pain)
Let the river run wild
Dreams shattering
Fixing to die
Scrape the lacquer
Can't you see it's all tarnished?
The levee breaking
I can't live to fight once more
The levee breaking
I can't live to fight once more
The road to the grave is straight as an arrow
I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby
The road to the grave is straight as an arrow
I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby
My voice travelling
Soaring bird above your head
The house we lived in
Ridden with disease
Scrape the lacquer
Can't you see, it's all tarnished?
The levee breaking
I can't live to fight once more
The levee breaking
I can't live to fight once more
The road to the grave is straight as an arrow
I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby
The road to the grave is straight as an arrow
I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby
Ο δωδέκατος "ολοκληρωμένος" στουντιακός δίσκος των Katatonia κυκλοφορεί ήδη. Φέρει τον τίτλο "City Burials" και "βγήκε" τον περασμένο Απρίλιο. Το νέο δισκογραφικό τους πόνημα είναι ένα "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο album. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Dead Air" (το αποκαλούμενο ως "live streamed lockdown show") και "βγήκε" προ ημερών. Η Σουηδική μπάντα με το Ελληνικό όνομα υπάρχει στο heavy metal σύμπαν από το δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα (τα τέσσερα πρώτα χρόνια ως Melancholium)...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Katatonia have released their live performance of the City Burials single “Lacquer”, taken from the new live lockdown session album ‘Dead Air’.
”Dead Air is a document and a remembrance of a strange and surreal situation, as well as true evidence of the love for music - both ours and that shown by our fans.” Vocalist Jonas Renkse explains what Dead Air means to the band.
April 2020 saw Katatonia present their eleventh studio opus, the poignant City Burials, to unanimous acclaim but with the unforeseen global event transpiring this year resulting in their album touring plans being put on hold, Katatonia conducted a more intimate “lockdown” show which was streamed live from Studio Grondahl, Stockholm on May 9th.
Dead Air offers fans a full 88-minute set containing 20 tracks from the band’s extensive and illustrious repertoire to date, with inclusions spanning two decades of dark progressive greatness, and essentially also debuting three of the City Burials album tracks in a live setting.
The recording, mixing & engineering work was orchestrated by David Castillo, notable for his extensive body of work with Katatonia to date, and the performance itself was professionally filmed by Blackbox Video.»
Bio: «Katatonia, formed in 1991 by Jonas Renkse & Anders Nyström, and transitioning from early pioneers of the rising black/death/doom movement, to powerhouses of the progressive metallic rock genre. Surprising their legions of admirers by taking an unexpected break, following the conclusion of their 2016 haunting The Fall Of Hearts album tour cycle. Joyously, 2020 brings the news that they are not only back, but newly armed with arguably their finest album to date, the enormously vivid and powerful City Burials.
With the winds of a new direction steering the band on their latest journey, City Burials stands as Katatonia’s new triumph of deep & enigmatic progressive rock - the fruits of a rejuvenating and profound chapter in the band’s legacy; a catalyst for its creators, with a collection of moments constructed out of the fragments of an ever-evolving life. Compiled into one of their most important modern works and statements to date, the finely-honed instrumentation provides a multi-textured backdrop with the voice of Jonas Renkse guiding us through these latest trials of loss and ruin.»
