Sounds Of Decay

	Sounds Of Decay ''Sounds of Decay'' is a three-song EP released by Katatonia in 1997. The front cover is a screenshot of a decrepit god, taken from the movie '' Begotten''. There is an unreleased version of this EP on which Fred Norrman recorded. The band had to record the EP twice, as during the first recording, the result was terrible due to the band being very hungover. And for unknown reasons, they had not called Fred back to do the recording again. According to Mikael Åkerfeldt, he prefers the unreleased version, as it is "a lot more brutal." This release is the last Katatonia material to feature any death metal-elements, it’s also Åkerfeldt’s final collaboration with the group. A fourth song named "Untrue" was also recorded in the studio session, but it did not end up on the original release. It was later released on the '' Brave Yester Days'' compilation album in 2004; it is the only material released from the first session. The EP was also featured on the 2006 Peaceville reissue ...

picture info	Katatonia Katatonia are a Swedish heavy metal band formed in Stockholm in 1991 by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström. The band started as a studio-only project for the duo, as an outlet for the band's love of death metal. Increasing popularity led them to add more band members for live performances, though outside of the band's founders, the lineup was a constantly changing, revolving door of musicians throughout the 1990s, notably including Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth for a period. After two death/doom albums, ''Dance of December Souls'' (1993) and ''Brave Murder Day'' (1996), problems with Renkse's vocal cords coupled with new musical influences led the band away from the screamed vocals of death metal to a more traditional, melodic form of heavy metal music. The band released two more albums, ''Discouraged Ones'' (1998) and ''Tonight's Decision'' (1999), before settling into a stable quintet lineup for all of the 2000s. The band released four more albums with said lineup: ''L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
