Their debut album, 'Dance Of December Souls', was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom\/death metal \u0026amp; joining acts such as Paradise Lost \u0026amp; My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined \u0026amp; structured collection of melodic dark rock songs which became third album 'Discouraged Ones' which is widely regarded as the main evolution point for modern day Katatonia, where a much more progressive style of metallic rock was successfully embraced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Dance Of December Souls' was recorded at Unisound Studios, April 1993 \u0026amp; released later that same year. Engineering \u0026amp; mixing was handled by Dan Swano (Opeth, Marduk, Dissection). This early incarnation of Katatonia contained a more doom\/black metal approach, whilst always keeping the trademark sorrowful \u0026amp; hypnotic guitar melodies which are still evident today. The album exudes an atmosphere of utter melancholy, accentuated by the growled, despairing vocals of Jonas. Katatonia quickly became part of the leaders of the gothic doom movement alongside top UK acts Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride \u0026amp; Anathema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis LP edition of 'Dance Of December Souls' is presented on limited edition pink marble-effect vinyl marking the 30th anniversary of the release, in a single sleeve including the original cover artwork \u0026amp; complete with printed inner bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421391245697,"sku":"1908506","price":29.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0801056809018.jpg?v=1750649498","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1908506","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
