Discouraged Ones - 2019 European Peaceville label 13-track 2LP set Reissue

2020 European Peaceville label 13-track 2LP set - Stockholm, Sweden, gothic metallists third album, originally released in 1998. 

"Discouraged Ones" was recorded in 1997 at the infamous Sunlight Studios by Fred Estby and Tomas Skogsberg (Entombed, Dismember). The album saw a new direction change with the epic compositions of old replaced with stripped down, compact structures to make room for new vocal harmonies courtesy of Jonas Renkse  - who also played drums on the album - putting an end to the growling vocal style from prior releases and giving the band a broader appeal.

This was somewhat of a breakthrough album for Katatonia which undoubtedly planted the seeds, stylistically, of what the band evolved into & represent today. 'Discouraged Ones' is a pinnacle of dark, gothic rock/metal excellence combined with ethereal, trance-like intensity.

This edition of 'Discouraged Ones' is presented on double black vinyl with gatefold sleeve - comprises the Side 4 bonus tracks, 'Quiet World' from the 'Discouraged Ones' recording sessiona and 'Scarlet Heavens', a rare track from 1994.
