25th ANNIVERSARY PRESSING OF KATATONIA’S REVERED FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM OF METALLIC MELANCHOLY, NOW REMASTERED AT HALF-SPEED FOR A SUPERIOR SOUND. PRESENTED ON LIMITED EDITION BLUE MARBLE-EFFECT VINYL.
‘Tonight’s Decision’, Katatonia’s debut release for Peaceville Records, was the band’s fourth album & found the Swedes further developing the more structured style explored on their previous album ‘Discouraged Ones’.
Immediately heralded as a classic by fans, ‘Tonight’s Decision’ stylistically builds on the refined ‘shoe-gazing’ qualities of their previous album, while simultaneously exploring the more impactful metallic possibilities of the evolving Katatonia sound. Jonas’s growing interest in singer/songwriters is reflected in the album’s sound & wonderfully exemplified by the thoughtful & moving rendition of Jeff Buckley’s ‘Nightmares By The Sea’.
The brilliant combination of Anders’ haunting guitar work & Jonas’s potent lyrics evokes images of urban decay & emotional turmoil in a way unique to this always searching band.
‘Tonight’s Decision’ was recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studios in Sweden, with drums on the album performed by metal maestro, Dan Swanö.
This limited blue marble-effect pressing of ‘Tonight’s Decision’ marks the album’s 25th anniversary & features a new half-speed master for improved sound clarity.
