I first heard of Katatonia when my fiance and I went to see Opeth in concert and Katatonia opened for them. The moment I heard their music I knew I loved them. This song however.... BLOWS ME AWAY! I am absolutely in love with this song!
Pure brilliance. Both versions of this song are truly amazing!! Absolutely love and adore this new mix. The entire "Dethroned And Uncrowned" as well as "Dead End Kings" are true masterpieces!!! They have continued to outdue themselves with each new release. And thank you Katatonia for touring the US regularly!!! Classic, timeless and straight to the heart and soul!!!
I love this song. I'd jam out to "Dethroned and uncrowned" on my old 160 gigabyte iPod classic back in 2014. This song brings back memories of that year when I'd relax in my old blue recliner that use to be at my uncle's house. Sadly, that chair is long gone. It's been 4 years since my uncle took it to the dump. But I'm in the process in getting a new recliner to replace that old soft chair. When I get my new chair soon, you bet I'm going to jam out to this song, and the rest of this katatonia album while I'm sitting in my new chair, my prized posession. A chair that I will not pass down to any family members. My old chair would still existed if I took it from my uncle's house back in 2014. and it would've still been here today in 2024. For sure this is my to-go album when I relax in my new chair. might get my new recliner later this year around the fall. looking for a recliner that looks exactly like my old blue one. will probably get a dark blue one since my old cozy soft recliner was a bright blue color.
Can't wait for the full album in a few weeks! The original version of this was definitely one of my favorite songs ever by you guys. This one is sick in its own way.
....omg I was waiting for this album so long... they mentioned about it some time ago and asked fans if they want a calm album. I am actually having a really hard and fucked up time at work and when I heard this calming song, shivers went down my entire body...
katatonia deserve so much success, but so is the way of the world where one direction is number 1. i kind of like it though that im one of the few that know this is one of the best bands in the world.
this side album is just stunning, i thought it would be one of those failed side-albums you always hear about , but no doubts about katatonia, simply amazing
I found Heritage refreshing! I thought it was great that Opeth had the courage to change their sound so drastically and still make some enjoyable music. Unpredictability is the risk you take when listening to progressive bands, and I honestly find that it keeps things interesting.
For a strange reason a distortion guitar at any moment in this song would have sounded brilliant... Still not used to this Katatonia sound, but let´s give them a chance to deploy a new sound... and hopefuly some day, as the time is cyclic, they could go back to their previous sounds in a masterly way. Thak you Katatonia for so many years of great music and depression hehe.
You dont necessarily have to keep waiting. Unless u like to hold out until the official date. I personally couldnt help myself, but I already pre-ordered it anyway.
Katatonia did the right thing, and released it as a side album. They stayed true to their fans with all of their main albums, then sought crowd-funding for this wonderful deviation. Opeth alienated a lot of their fans with 'Heritage'. Katatonia has given fans something amazing to coincide with their 'Dead End Kings', not instead of.
A true artist is selfish with his art, a true artist doesn't go to fans for approval...Katatonia and Opeth do what they want...This album alienated lots of Katatonia fans as well but that doesn't matter as long as the band likes it..
It's just them being creative with their last album. There will almost definitely be a lot of distorted guitar in the next album. You don't have to get used to this sound. This is literally the album Dead End Kings without distorted guitar. The same songs exactly. This is not a new direction, it's an experiment. It's a new way to hear old songs. That's all.
I agree with Benjamin, And I don't think Opeth alienated their fans didn't like the new direction and decided to not like them anymore you can't please everyone, Opeth will continue to do what they want musically and be good at it.....And I'm sure Katatonia didn't do this to please the fans that would be a sell out they're just discovering new ground with their music it's called experimentation
Brilliant! However, i didn't like Dead End Kings as much as i loved Night is the New Day. I hope they've finally found their footing with the new sound!
The funny thing is that metal musicians only seem to bring up the "progress" idea when they go soft. That's when it really becomes important to them, ha ha
I, of course, have not heard the whole album but I have a feeling this song is not the best example for the album. The guitar riff that repeats during the verse is imo, crucial, to the overall feeling of the composition...without it, the song sounds weak. I'm digging the chorus part though, the accentuated vocals are welcome. I'm still making up my mind on this one.
Nothing to get upset over, dude. This is a fan funded album, and the drums and guitar on the original are aggressive. This is a non aggressive, ambient album. That's the point, it's interesting, and your negativity is pretty stupid.

I think this version is much better, if only because you can actually hear Silje now.
Totally agree
Amazing, brilliant, epic...these guys are absolutely one of the best BANDS that exists today in any genre...
I love Katatonia.
the songs make me feel nice and the frontman's voice is amazing. I really go to other planet when I hear Jonas singing...
I so enjoy her voice !
Amazing!!!
Can always count on katatonia to be there when I need em the most!

I love this band more than I love myself
Syd Barrett Madcapppp
Simply beautiful.
Katatonia has changed my life.. 🖤
Masterpiece 🖤
Magical.
Absolutely brilliant. I've never heard anything by Katatonia that I didn't like.
Gorgeous.
It still bugs me that I haven't seen them live. And this acoustic show they were doing lately would've been magnificent...
CedarStreetFilms I was at the Union Chapel venue to see them, they were just amazing. Highly recommend picking up the concert film
Oh...I'm getting this BluRay...mark my words! :D
I have the BluRay and it's such a magical concert. Absolutely love it...
Brilliance....
It's gorgeous. I love the direction they took with this.
God damn this is beautiful
Can't wait for the full album in a few weeks! The original version of this was definitely one of my favorite songs ever by you guys. This one is sick in its own way.
Katatonia made this album much more depressing than it was it sounds better the acoustic guitars add to it as well thanks Katatonia.
Wow...perfect, beautful...and perfect!
I ordered my 5.1 version off kscope already. Cant wait.
....omg I was waiting for this album so long... they mentioned about it some time ago and asked fans if they want a calm album. I am actually having a really hard and fucked up time at work and when I heard this calming song, shivers went down my entire body...
This is my favorite Katatonia song to listen to at the moment. Too beautiful for words. Please make more music, Anders and Jonas!
Beautiful take on an already perfect song.
katatonia deserve so much success, but so is the way of the world where one direction is number 1. i kind of like it though that im one of the few that know this is one of the best bands in the world.
this version gives me chills,cant wait to hear the rest of the album.
Just opened my 5.1 DVD out of the package. Life is officially good.
this is a great reworked album.
production on the overall sound
is top notch!
hard to tell which one I like
both are great!
Just perfect.
oh my god. this is just a pure beauty
Feels damn good to hear something new from these guys
i love this version, cant wait to try out in September the whole, edited version of all songs!
this side album is just stunning, i thought it would be one of those failed side-albums you always hear about , but no doubts about katatonia, simply amazing
lovely song!
Wow awesome love the idea of this album
Unexpected, yet so good!
I found Heritage refreshing! I thought it was great that Opeth had the courage to change their sound so drastically and still make some enjoyable music.
Unpredictability is the risk you take when listening to progressive bands, and I honestly find that it keeps things interesting.
I like that you can hear Silje Wergeland's vocals more!
To be honest, when I heard about this project, I was a little skeptical, but when I heard this ....... simply stunning!
This is wonderful!
this is gonna be awesome!
I need more of this, and fast.
What are you talking about? They are always one of the most iconic artists in metal already.

That's just amazing!
Much better than the original, the ambient is really dark, can't wait to listen Buildings and Lethean on this format.
It didn't use to be so dark... PERFECT!
really good!
cant wait to here the whole album .. hope still theres some heavy sounding guitar though.. like it
Bravoooo

Holy shit this is beautiful!!!!
Silje.
Open your minds, and don't speak shit about this, just listen and enjoy.
thank you its much better now : )
Raping the replay..... amazing track!
This is how Katatonia is supposed to sound! Especially when on Kscope
that would be a amazing. I really like the second and the act of darkening ;)
A true artist is selfish with his art, a true artist doesn't go to fans for approval...Katatonia and Opeth do what they want...This album alienated lots of Katatonia fans as well but that doesn't matter as long as the band likes it..
Why is this playlist mostly blocked in USA? I used to listen to it before
It's definitely a cool take on the song, hope things get better for you
anathema / steven wilson / Katatonia
Deadly combination it is. Mine adds Tool / Opeth / Porcupine Tree to this list as well
Soen and Karnivool too... 😁
Jesus christ. Amazing.
Fuck, I think I'm going to cry.. I love this too much
I find myself playing the drums for the original version in my head. Either way, good song, none the less
Wow, this actually works really well without all the rock/metal elements. Honestly didn't expect it to be that good. Might actually buy this.
It's just them being creative with their last album. There will almost definitely be a lot of distorted guitar in the next album. You don't have to get used to this sound. This is literally the album Dead End Kings without distorted guitar. The same songs exactly. This is not a new direction, it's an experiment. It's a new way to hear old songs. That's all.
Dat voice..
Don't worry! This album is just a sideproject they did.
Old Katatonia is still there!
I'm going to find out where you guys live, and I'm going to give you all of my money.
I always listen to this song repetitively before ending a relationship with someone
I agree with Benjamin, And I don't think Opeth alienated their fans didn't like the new direction and decided to not like them anymore you can't please everyone, Opeth will continue to do what they want musically and be good at it.....And I'm sure Katatonia didn't do this to please the fans that would be a sell out they're just discovering new ground with their music it's called experimentation
This version sounds much better than original
I was wondering the same..
yo escucho este tema con la certeza de que nunca en mi vida llegare a crear un obra maestra de este talle
Fuckin Amazing !
But it's certainly is great as well!
Hey, I'm really liking the shift on this new album, but I will also miss the late Katatonia so much... We can't have everything, I guess.
This doesn't alienate anyone. It was crowd-funded, and it isn't a full release, it's more of an experiment, hence the method of its production.
Believe me, depression, not light.
why does't youtube have a loop button...
Yes, mostly, but not always. Opeth is the best example, not taking into account the last album)
Could you name some of those bands?
What? This is a fucking beautiful masterpiece! Black metal is good too though...
I think you are missing the entire point of this album. There will be no "heavy sounding guitar" in it.
Brilliant!
However, i didn't like Dead End Kings as much as i loved Night is the New Day.
I hope they've finally found their footing with the new sound!
I think it's not meant to be better than the original
dude anathema new stuff is so much better, but i kinda prefer opeths older stuff like ghost reveries but no matter what opeth will always kick ass.
Tool meets the Cure
Opeth is already 15 years acclaimed in prog world!)
The funny thing is that metal musicians only seem to bring up the "progress" idea when they go soft. That's when it really becomes important to them, ha ha
You don't know what your missing

Fuck Satan, Cthulhu's where it's at!

Poor you.
I haven't listened to Anathema.
i highly recommend u anathema
katatonia is a coffe in winters day anathema is chocolate for accompany it
i love this analogy
