Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking their complete departure from harsh death metal vocals, Katatonia pioneers a deeply depressive and melodic brand of gothic metal on 'Discouraged Ones'. The album relies heavily on shoegaze-inflected alternative metal textures to convey a profound sense of loneliness, apathy, and urban alienation.
