Unholy crap, a 3CD boxset! Filled with new melodic Death/Doom material in the latest Swallow the Sun vein? To be honest, not entirely as the 2nd cd is totally different. Clean vocals, lots of acoustic parts, melancholic. Maybe something for the nowadays Katatonia fans. It’s the “Beauty” album in this concept, as the others are “Gloom” and “Despair”. So you can say that “Gloom” is a continuation of their last albums. “Beauty” is the non-metal part and “Despair” is just heavy Doom/Death. If you are open-minded and curious about this whole concept, I think you will be surprised. (Ricardo)
