#23 - KATATONIA - Night Is The New Day (Peaceville)
BraveWords.com scribe David Perri says: "Night Is The New Day finally sees Katatonia rise out of the shadow - and subsequent pressure, no doubt - of Viva Emptiness' massive acclaim and has the band morphing once again, this time increasing the despondent elements (one wonders how that's even possible) and setting the heavy aspects of its sound as an almost secondary, complementary conceptual element: it's difficult to even call Katatonia a metal band anymore, but don't let that scare you off from a record that is, at parts, truly adventurous and far-reaching."
