Yo estuve allí, KATATONIA 25 abril 2003

Gateways of Bereavement!

After a good Fintroll Folk Metal crazy show Katatonia appeared. They wear black dresses and black soul. It was a fantastic show that takes us to the deepest of our emotions.

Katatonia are one of my favourite acts of all times. They have a great mix of darkness, feeling, cold and good music. They have created a great Palace of Frost and from that place shows to the world the dark side. Melodic intermezzos, crying voices, guttural screaming and superb guitars are part of Katatonia. They go far away of the music, they are pure feeling. I like to be depressing with their music. Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström are masters. A grey cold day, full of rain is the better one to listen to this band and dance with December Souls.

They arrive to Barcelona to present Viva Emptiness, another “magna opus”. They started with “Ghost of The Sun” (superb Nyström screaming) and “Sleeper”. They follow with their better songs from “Last Fair Deal Gone Down”, “Tonight’s Decision” and “Discouraged Ones”. People were near heaven (or hell better), totally engaged with Katatonia’s sound. At the end they return to “Viva Emptiness”, with their last songs. Superb “Evidence”, I will remember that moment forever. Total ecstasies at bonus with “My Sweet Nurse” and “Murder”, returning to their black origins (for me the best of the band).

Thank you Katatonia from my Tomb of Insomnia.

For funerals to come……
