Viva Emptiness (2013 Remaster)

by Katatonia

supported by

Alice M. I have a strange relationship with Katatonia’s discography: I love 1992–1997 and 2003–2020, but never could get into what’s in between. So to me this is “the album where I can appreciate them again”. Favorite track: Evidence (2013 Remaster).

about

THE BREAKTHROUGH KATATONIA ALBUM FROM 2003 REMIXED, REVAMPED, FEATURING A BONUS TRACK

Katatonia was formed in 1991 by Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse. Their debut album, ‘Dance of December Souls’, was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lot & My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands.

‘Viva Emptiness’ was Katatonia’s sixth studio album & is considered among the band’s strongest works; a step up even over the seemingly insurmountable greatness of previous release, ‘Last Fair Deal Gone Down’. The album was recorded at the famous Soundtrade Studios (part of the 301 group) in Stockholm in October/November 2002 & released the following year, further refining Katatonia’s unique & poignant brand of melodic dark rock & metal.

This edition of ‘Viva Emptiness’ was originally released in 2013 to mark the album’s ten year anniversary, and contains the following additions & improvements:

- The whole album revamped – all keyboard sounds have been updated, with brand new keyboard arrangements on many songs

- The whole album entirely remixed

- 'Inside The City of Glass' with additional vocals (originally intended for inclusion back in 2003)

- The b-side song "Wait Outside" is now included on the album

- New cover and back cover art work courtesy of Travis smith (featuring a continuation of the original album theme)

A love/hate kind of production. I tried to like several times this massive, effect overloaded arena rock production. But the wall of sound prevents me to follow the core (soul) of the music...so a very personal "less is more" impression remains. Nonetheless Not a bad record at all... rs1972

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 24 fans who also own “Viva Emptiness (2013 Remaster)”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic
by The Ocean

supported by 21 fans who also own “Viva Emptiness (2013 Remaster)”

The Ocean est maître du Temps et de l'Histoire : le collectif avait annoncé comme une prophétie la sortie de Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic pour 2020 et rien, pas même le cataclysme viral, ne l'aura empêché de le sortir en 2020. Mais The Ocean est aussi maître du post-metal : cet album nous fait traverser avec virtuosité le règne des dinosaures, leur extinction (avec tant d'émotions !), le chaos puis l'apparition de ces étranges créatures qui pensaient contrôler le soleil... Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert
