Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance [Melancholic Rock/Doom Metal]

The general picture that arises when listening to the album is a modern metropolis with an abundance of cars, people, glass buildings and concrete. It is raining, the picture takes on muted, almost gray tones. In such scenery, the life of a person passes, say, the protagonist, who has a cauldron of emotions inside, conscious under the influence of the environment and people. Of course, the musical theme floats from one emotional shade to another, and everyone very subtly recreates the overall image. Here there is sadness, and anxiety, and experiences bordering on paranoia, and resentment, and loss, and stress, and depression, and simply melancholy. Indeed, a long and cold distance. Nevertheless, despite all the sadness and worries, the feeling of hope does not leave the album.
