THE 1996 DEATH/DOOM GENRE CLASSIC FEATURING OPETH'S MIKAEL AKERFELDT ON VOCALS - ON MIDPRICE CD. Katatonia was formed in 1991 by Anders Nystrom & Jonas Renkse. Their debut album, 'Dance Of December Souls', was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands. Katatonia would later go on to embrace a more rock/metal style before introducing stronger progressive elements, becoming one of Sweden's more celebrated metal acts in the genre in the process.

Originally released in 1996, second album 'Brave Murder Day' is a true classic. The primitive structures & melodies give this album an unparalleled trance-like quality, by taking an early Paradise Lost influence (mixed with others such as Kent & Slowdive) & forming a completely unique sound & atmosphere.

The majority of the vocal duties were carried out in his former signature death-growl style by Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth, while Jonas Renkse delivered the clean vocal passages that he is known for today, on the ethereal track, 'Day'. Jonas also played drums on the album.

'Brave Murder Day' was recorded at Unisound, Sweden, in July 1996 & was engineered by industry legend, Dan Swano.
