2024 press on black vinyl

October Tide was the side project ofKatatonia members Jonas Renske and Fredrik Norrman. Jonas said thereason for which he decided to dissolve this side project was thattoo many good ideas were being used in this band that would be bestused in their main band… and it shows. What we have here is 39minutes of pure early-Katatonia-like sorrow. At times it kind ofreminds me of their demo era, at times of Dance of December Souls,at times of Brave Murder Day… but it’s still different from all ofthese releases. The guitar riffs are beautiful and memorable, heavyat times, melodically soaring at others, all the time with amelancholic feel to them, but still keeping an almost upbeat sound(see the beginning of ‘All Painted Cold’). There’s also the use ofacoustic guitars, as well as tempo and structure changes. Oh, yes,and there’s the use of a violin and some keyboards too, which addsup to the atmosphere very nicely. Another thing that is prettyamazing are Jonas vocals here… they sound nothing like in Katatonia(even in their demo/debut era). Instead of screaming his lungs out,he uses a low, raspy, pain-ridden ghoul-like growl and they soundawesome. This is a must have for any fan of Katatonia’s earlyworks, who felt desolated knowing they’ll never see another JhvaElohim Meth, Dance of December Souls or Brave Murder Day everagain, and for fans in general of melodic doom/death metal. I alsoadvise to check out their Grey Dawn album, as it’s very goodtoo.
