GhostTrail Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 PO's (European, at least) have been launched for the new Katatonia album, The Fall of Hearts, which is out May 20th. Looks like there will be a standard 2x LP, as well as a 2x10" with a bonus track included with the "hardbook" edition. Not sure how the album will fit on to a 2x10", given the running time of the standard edition is nearly 63 minutes. I'll continue to add links as they pop up. The Fall Of Hearts 1. Takeover [07:09]2. Serein [04:46]3. Old Heart Falls [04:22]4. Decima [04:46]5. Sanction [05:07]6. Residual [06:54]7. Serac [07:25]8. Last Song Before The Fade [05:01]9. Shifts [04:54]10. The Night Subscriber [06:10]11.

ephemeral Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm very excited. Gonna just wait till it pops up on Amazon or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
najerarick88 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Definitely looking forward to this. Hopefully some US pre-orders will pop up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorn Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm hoping they will somehow top The Great Cold Distance but not holding my breath. I love Katatonia, but sadly I may wait to hear it before ordering, which I didn't with the last two. Also, I agree the 2x10" doesn't make sense with the length, especially if they are adding bonus tracks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Didn't they have the same puzzling 10" set for Dead End Kings? I seem to remember something similar. I like Dead End Kings, but didn't love the live or reimagined album much. I'll check this out and get the double 12" release from Amazon if I like what I hear.

Stress On The Sky Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Didn't they have the same puzzling 10" set for Dead End Kings? I seem to remember something similar. Yes they did the same art book double 10" & CD set for Dead End Kings, I have it and being a fan of the bands art I've gotta say its a lovely set. Pre-ordered the art book this time around too.

morfiend Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll probably wait closer to release day and grab the 2LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll likely hold off until closer to release date as well. Though the artbook is tempting, because Travis Smith's artwork is among my favorite and I'm a sucker for 5.1 mixes. I'm really curious on how this album is going to sound. That trailer sounds like a logical progression from Dead End Kings, but they posted some footage from the drum sessions and it was pretty intense. Lots of double bass, crazy 32nd note fills and even some blast beats. A few of these songs are among the longest they've written in about 20 years as well. That 7 minute opener really piques my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 7 minute opener really piques my interest. After ordering I've been binge listening to everything to hype myself up but I will confess the long track times have me at feverish levels of anticipation. Would love for some really heavy stuff with some Akerfeldt-ian screaming (doesn't have to be Akerfeldt but I don't think it'll ever be Jonas again) but even if it treads the same mellower path of Dead End Kings I'll be happy. There's little in their whole discography that I dislike so whatever this turns out like I'm sure it'll be worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yeah, I really hope they change it up a bit with this new release. I love Katatonia but the last couple of albums while good haven't had as much staying power with me as most of the old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostTrail Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 New song, same as what was previewed in the initial trailer. Certainly a logical progression from Dead End Kings. Not totally feeling it yet, though I know it won't be representative of the full album. Really can't recall the last time Jonas sang at a register as high as he does in the chorus though, certainly intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm loving the new track.Also 500 Silver now available exclusively at the bands store:http://www.omerch.eu/shop/katatonia/proddetail.php?prod=omerch_katatonia_HeartsSILVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Not strictly Fall Of Hearts related but the band have announced a special London gig that goes on sale Friday where they will be playing The Great Cold Distance in full followed by an intermission and then another live set mixing in music from their whole discography.Alongside this announcement the band have stated that Peaceville plan on reprinting The Great Cold Distance on vinyl.

Tom Servo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That's awesome. Prices on Great Cold Distance have gotten pretty steep. I hope they include the bonus tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Just came home to my Fall Of Hearts art book and listened to the album straight through twice (with all the extra tracks it runs to over an hour and twenty minutes). Some pretty technical guitar work throughout, I'd call it an improvement on Dead End Kings as far as the album goes. As far as the art book goes it's a little light on art unlike the previous album's equivalent with just murky photographs, a portrait of each band member and the lyrics. Still quite a nice package overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I received my shipping confirmation on Wednesday. I would assume it would show up around the middle of next week or so. That's usually the time frame for Napalm orders to the US.
