Thank you so much katatonia, please god dont ever stop what you do.

Throughout the years, since the very beginning your consecutive releases has been substantial part of my life's rhytm. Let me share with you my observation which might appear obvious to you, probably, much earlier.

Your albums are set in periods that consist of 3 main releases:

First era with “Dance…”, “For Funerals…” and “Brave…” – very dynamic growth (one can say, high testosteron level is one of the most important biological factors for creation), all these albums are masterpieces.

Second era with “Discouraged…”, “Tonight's…” and “Last…” – total shift to new emotional realms of expression, more consistent, splendid Best is “Discouraged” I'd say.

Third era: “Viva…”, “The Great…” and finally “Night…” – more dark, heavy, but still rocky Night – judging from the samples and “Forsaker” – seems to me as a good piece of music – HOWEVER – it seems, too, as a continuation of “The Great”.

Conclusion – I am looking ahead, even before “Night…” release – this should be your last album in this style, attitude, approach, as it seems there is nothing more to say within this sounds and words.

I wonder what would be your next album – after “Night…” – I would expect something that amaze me the way the very first 3 albums amazed me one after another. I am aware that me as a listener and you as musicians are getting older and some feeling of sentiment may impact my judgement BUT – I feel you need to change something – or to avoid artificial change – seek and search for the inner change inside of you…

Best for you,

anyway, have fun!
