Katatonia
Carving their way from their nineties gothic-tinged doom metal to the ethereal post-metal entity they are today, Katatonia have always been and will forevermore be one thing—a vessel of deep emotion shrouded in Scandinavian despair and a universal longing for salvation. On their latest journey Sky Void of Stars, these Swedish grand seigneurs of gloom solemnly set the stage for a nocturne both crushing and exhilarating. If you’re unsure what to wear to this show, it’s safe to say that black is the new black–the gloomier the better.
