  • http://www.myspace.com/xxwintersoulxx Lydia

    Can't choose!
    Before the album came out I listen “Nephilim” first at youtube again and again and again. Then it was “Idle Blood” in repeat.
    Since Saturday it is the entire album in infinite loop all day long.
    It's really a masterpiece!

  • david

    How is Inheritance the least voted for? That song is incredible. If a little short i guess…hehe…

  • Danny Araphel

    Hard for me to chose. Voted for Nephilim in the end, though i also consider new Night as an awesome song. Generally, the whole album is a masterpiece, and i just can't get enough of it……but so far, these two are my favorites.

  • http://www.kooqi.co.uk/ Jonesy

    The Longest Year by a country mile. Fucking incredible.

  • dren

    the longest year is one of the best songs i heard in the last years,
    but also idle blood and forsaker are awesome – maybe these three songs will be the singles..
    but also nephlim is a pearl of doom rock/metal music fans as well!

  • benotvanmozuing

    Liberation is my favourite song but only because i must choose cause all albums and songs of Katatonia are simply amazing !!!
    You are the best guys !!!! Katatonia rules!!!

  • Thomas

    Departer. It's amazing, so good.

  • N. Lee

    Ashen would be my preference, but since it's not on here, I've voted for New Night.

  • N. Lee

    Ashen would be my preference, but since it's not on here, I've voted for New Night.

  • chris

    Hands down The Longest Year! One hell of an impressive song. One of the best rock songs I have heard as of late and maybe Katatonia's best song period. Just wow!
    Liberation, Forsaker, Inheritance and Onward Into Battle and…well, you get the point…all these songs are practically equal in their greatness. A testament to how great the album is.

  • Gordonized

    Since the first listen, it has been a toss up between Idle Blood and Nephilim. I voted for Nephilim in the end and like the proper woman I am, I've changed my mind. IDLE BLOOD!!! Damn…!!!

  • buddleia

    Ashen.
    but.. according to what's below – no 'Ashen' on the list above so.. 'The Promise of Deceit' is my song but I'd love to vote for Departer.. too hard to pick up 'the one'
    I've been awaiting such a sonda :] Thanks!

  • ronnyhernadez

    katatonia is so great.the new albun is so cool..thanks for all…
    from venezuela …..

  • ronnyhernadez

    forkaser….the best….

  • ronnyhernadez

    forsaker….

  • Fanis2

    I couldn't choose my favourite between The Longest Year and Idle Blood..
    But a the passed year was really the longest year for me so I choose the first one..
    I was expecting this album for months and now I see that it was exactly what I was expecting it to be..I can't thank you enough..
    Hailz from Greece and I hope to see you here someday..

  • VentriZ

    Idle Bloos because it's one of the best songs i've ever heard

  • J.

    I sooo love “New Night” .. the lyrics are so touching.. and this melody..

    but its really hard to decide on one song..

  • http://www.myspace.com/thenicholsfamilygospelhour Darren

    Idle Blood is so good. It's definitely hard to choose a favorite but that one is probably the one I go back to the most.

  • sol

    my favorite is Onward Into battle. also Inheritance is runner up but the entire album is amazing and it's not complete without playing the whole thing through.

  • Max_D

    My Favourite is 'the longest year'. music and lyrics touching me so deep…
    But I really love 'idle blood', these are my 2 favourite, but my choice was so hard, it's the longest year ^^ but the lyrics of idle blood are so true and awesome as well…

  • Doro

    DEPARTER – even though Idle Blood has really nice guitars…but Depater has the most atmosphere, catches me…

  • Bruno

    “the promise of deceit” hands down. with departer, onward into battle & libeartion as close seconds. as to the votes so far, can agree that the longest year is quite good, though idle blood is for me one of the less inspired moments (particularly chorus/ lyrics).

    keep it up.

  • Asier

    Idle Blood!

  • http://www.myspace.com/crynightbcn Metal Bob

    I like all songs but my favourite is New Night and Ashen, awesome song but I can't to vote. The album is the best, congratulations.

  • philincalifornia

    The Longest Year, no doubt about it. Perfect song from a great album.

  • InZa

    For me it's “Onward into battle”. Mindblowing song.

  • nostalgiaplatz

    for me it's departer. it's the most beautiful song i have ever heard! Thank you for producing such a masterpiece!

  • Soulsick

    I love the song “The Longest Year”. It is perfect.
    But “Departer” have a beautiful atmosphere.

    Great album :)

  • http://www.myspace.com/wookienipplez K.218

    I felt Idle Blood was the best song on the album. The acoustics is a very nice touch (I'd love to see more use of acoustics in the future) and Jonas' vocal range is incredible and truly show cases what he is capable of.

  • jaimepegueroles

    The longest year, my favorite song this represent my fucking ugly year, in can express my emosion about this masterpiece, i only can feel it!!!!

  • pointdotpoint

  • pointdotpoint

    oops i ment i import de cd. yeh… i was joking.

  • Marosh

    New Night is the sharpest one and the best 4 me :}

  • mattdabass

    was difficult to choose… whole album is brilliant and an excellent progression from the mighty great cold distance. very cool to see you guys move on and not just repeat your last album, it would of been easy to just repeat. your gig at the peel was awesome, and i have seen a lot of great bands live. long live katatonia!

  • Spikes

    Onward Into Battle for the win! Though I like EVERY song on the album. Amazing.

  • EntwineRyche

    Ummm… your missing the best song. Where is Asher?

  • EntwineRyche

    Make that Ashen :P

  • 2000mn4

    I listened to the teaser about a hundred times i wanted to hear the rest of onward into battle so much.. i got a lump in my throat when I heard it for the first time…….

  • Vein

    3:06-4:39 of Idle Blood rips my soul apart, it is so fucking beautiful.

    I love you, Katatonia.

  • SC

    Aye, put Ashen on the list! For me right now it kills every other track.

  • SC

    Aye, put Ashen on the list! For me right now it kills every other track.

  • PG

    I voted for Longest year but I just have to put a flag up for Inheritance!!!
    “Our graves
    Above the timberline…”
    Simply breathtaking.
    This song will grow on a lot of us…

  • http://riddlesoftrickster.deviantart.com/art/Visitor-Calling-143324792 Amanda

    This whole album is utterly mind blowing….it rips out your soul only to give it back to you in a breath of sweetness….softly sung words, hypnotic rhythms, haunting melodies…

    you guys are amazing! this is the best Katatonia album yet!

    thank you

  • Masa

    Please Katatonia, remove the video! This is really, really not good stuff, why destroy a faboulus “best in ten years” album with such a low budget goth-emo-shit-video!?? View the forum and you will get surprised by the massive criticism of the video. RE-DO!

  • jordisorrow

    True melancholic serenity to my ears! Shame they did not have growling vocals on this album! A different concept, but Great progress in these years! Album very, very accomplished! Simply breathtaking!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    http://mentenebre.com/articulos.php?op=verartic…

  • Bruno

    must say i just saw the video (or what I could take of it) and it's pretty dreadful. Looks like something the teenage fans would identify with. Doesn't make justice to the band's maturity. Also I hope the song choice was the label's choice cause “Day and Then the Shade” is easily one of the few forgettable moments on display.

    cheers and hopes of more inspiration for a future video!

  • Bruno

    final note just to say that “Ashen” is quite good, has a verse-heaviness that is missed on the album and it comes across as a bit unexplainable not to include it on the normal ed., since it's, for instance, MIUCH better than the single.

    over&out

    :)

  • Aleister

    Departer is so amazing..
    But the same for Idle Blood, Forsaker, Liberation..
    I love you, Katatonia

  • Justin

    Definitely Nephilim, alot of that being based on the lyrics. Also, 'Day And Then The Shade' gets honorable mention. Fantastic album. Can't wait for another North American Tour. I missed the last show in Denver, sadly. Ugh. Great album!

  • Sabrina Smit

    The Promiss of Deceit gives me the shivers. Love it!
    Love the whole album, seen you live at the hellfirefest in Birmingham.
    Greetings Sabrina (The Netherlands)

  • Johannes G.

    New Night.
    Easily! This song is simply PERFECTION!

  • Skully

    this album is amazing! the song departer gives me goosebumps all over my body!!!

  • indrre

    The Longest Year. Sheer awesomeness.

  • Gautam

    Idle Blood.Simply awesome.

  • metaldroid

    I voted for Nephilim. Dynamic, Beautiful, Katatonia. close seconds were (in no particular order) Day and Then The Shade, Liberation, Promise of Deceit, and Longest Year. This album is absolutely amazing, and it dominates all music. The thought, emotion, life, and personal anguish that Katatonia have poured into this album shines through in every single track. My Grandmother passed away the day I received my Swedish Pre-Order here in the U.S. and this music has helped me cope, and grasp the weight of our loss. I will forever remember this albums release, its amazing songs, and my Grandmother's passing, in such an epic way that it has changed my life. Thank you Katatonia, you are loved by many.

  • zasp

    I love Inheritance. Amazing lyrics and bass/drums. To me it kind of represents the not so distant future of this planets demise and human induced destruction of life on earth. awesome comment on society.
    “let them inherit, this fire now.
    lest, they will forget that
    we were ever here”

  • Tyler

    Departer is my favorite song, with inheritance taking a close second.

    I do believe that Jonas is my favorite clean vocalist in the world at the moment.

  • http://www.myspace.com/forlornremembrance T.

    Idle Blood. Among the best songs I've ever heard!

  • George

    If you've been following Katatonia from their first album you can see clearly the evolution of their music. This time they had a very difficult job ahead of them, to surpass “The Great Cold Distance”, which was their best ever. I believe you people did a great job with “Night is the New Day” since it sounds very different than the last one, but still Katatonia to its marrow. Right now, my favorite is “The Longest Year” but as always, with the passing of time, another song may come up on top. Thanks anyway for sharing your deepest emotions with us.

  • Gabrielsoros

    “New night” is the best song I've ever heard!

  • jaweissnicht

    the best song for me is the promise of deceit. i could cry…its so fucking unbelievable und great.the chorusline is the best of all katatonia songs.i like the great cold… more than the new album but the prümise of dedceit is their best song ever!!!!

  • electricvenom

    I couldn't say which song is better. I really love all of the “Night Is The New Day” songs. If I have to choose one maybe that would be “The longest year”.
    Anyway, each song of this album has a very specific part that completely enchants me.
    I agree that some songs on this album have parts that remind Opeth, but I think this is not bad, as some seem to believe.
    From my point of view is even something quite positive, which gives seconds of magic to the songs (maybe this is because I also like Opeth very much).
    Preferences will be varied, I'm sure of that, but, as they already know, opinions are changing as we listen to the album again and again (at least, in my case).
    Although they would like us to choose one as a favorite, I will say that the whole record seems fantastic to me. I think they have done a wonderful job, and haven't left me indifferent.

    So, well done, Katatonia! Still blowing out my mind with the good work, and thank you very much for all of these years of music =)
    I say 10/10

  • Velvet

    Es difícil decidir cuando todo ese trabajo es tan maravilloso, pero “Infiltrados” es algo que toca mi alma …
    Felicidades por este gran disco!

  • manyack

    actually i think 'ashen' is the best track on the cd, but since it's a bonus track not everybody got to hear it. too bad.

  • TheyCallMeX

    1. The Day and Then The Shade
    2. Idle Blood (I voted for this over #1 because I thought it would be higher since it's the single :D )
    3. New Night (Favorite in terms of sound, but lyrics bring it to #3)
    4. The Longest Year
    5. Promise of Deceit
    6. Foresaker
    7. Onward Into Battle
    8. Departer
    9. Nephilm
    10. Inheritance

  • Paulus Kuswito

    If there is an album that could stay 3 months continuously in my car stereo with repeated occasional listen that would be “Night Is The Day” (I gave it a constant listening for a week or so) and still it never stops amazed me. Even the less favorite “Nephilim” sounds great now. “The Longest Years” stays on top then “The Idle Blood” is the second-best (it might be the first but then it was “too-Opeth”, not that it was bad but I chose what might appear to be “more-Katatonia”)

  • Jordan Parsons

    Ashen needs to be on that list!!! That song rocks :) One of my favs of all time.

  • Jordan Parsons

    Ashen!!!!!!!

  • Jordan Parsons

    Did I happen to mention…… ASHEN!!!! HAHAHAHAAHAH

  • Jordan Parsons

    Dear Katatonia, you all rock hardcore. Please form a 1 album supergroup with swallow the sun and opeth, or possibly In mourning. It would be AMAZING.

    Sincerely, hardcore fans of Swedish metal.

  • Katerina_S

    The album sounds like a single entity. Anyway – Departer, Inheritance, The Longest Year and Promise of Deceit are the most touching.
    Thank you for the album that get me back into music after several years without any serious interest in music in general. It's so inspiring.

    (Moscow, Russia)

  • Coldsun

    same here.. Ashen is the best song for me. But since it's not listed, i'll go for Idle Blood a masterpiece!

  • Fuckyounigga

    Departer 1000% yes
