Septembre et ses dernières pensées

Song for Mountains

All words mean to you

Innocence​.​Love​.​Sadness

Sorry... - 01 Innocence

Sorry... - 05 Distress

Are you in or are you out
The words are stones in my mouth
Hush little baby don't you cry
Truth comes down
Strikes me in the eye

Turning seasons within
Brand new nails across my skin
But who am I to imply
That I was found
That I found you in the white

To overcome this
I become one with
The quiet cold of late November
If you don't see
I'll remain unseen
Until there's time to be remembered

So I had a green light
I was lost in city lights
Not so far from a try
This is not our last goodbye

So I found you
Found a way all through
The quiet cold of inner darkness
& now that you're here
It becomes so clear
I have waited for you always

In The White

The opening track pulses like a synthetic heartbeat, layering airy pads with mournful guitar delays. Vaelrix frames dopamine as a dragon in the mind, chasing relief while unraveling at the seams. This is the gateway into the album’s emotional architecture.

Katatonia - Lethean

From Happiness to Dust, 8th track from the 8th album of Finnish Melodic Doom Death Metal band "Swallow The Sun", the album called "Songs from the North I, II & III" was released in November 13th, 2015.

"It's getting late my old friend
It's time to go now
Say goodbye to all we had
And set these torn sails away
You broke me down to pieces
Like you always did
I'm ready to sleep now

This tomb of my heart
Turned happiness to dust
Days changed to lifetimes
Of promises and rust

All friends around me
From happiness to dust
And I'm ready to go now
Where I won't be lost
Happiness to dust

Have you come to take me home
Last rays of the evening sun?
With the dream, to where I belong
To the meadows of unsung songs
I'm scarred for lifetimes in here
Worn down in these battles
I'm ready to sleep now

I dragged all these shadows behind me
Until they grew into a part of me
But I never wanted it to happen
All the steps I took
I took them for the happiness of others
But they all burned me down
Burnt like an empty book

I unfolded my wings to their darkness
Stepped into all those rooms of shadows
Took those silver bullets to shield their hearts
But I'm too wounded now from these battles
Please let me fall into a sleep of beauty for a while

It's getting late my old friend
It's time to go now
Say goodbye to all we had
And set these torn sails away
Worn down in these battles
I'm ready to sleep now

This tomb of my heart
Turned happiness to dust
Days changed to lifetimes
Of promises from gold to rust

All friends around me
From happiness to dust
And I'm ready to go now
Where I won't be lost"

Saturnus - Saturn in Ascension  (2012)

"Forest Of Insomnia"

Stare... into the night...
As a winter turns bright...
Falling leaves...
Divided for a treasures deed...
Looking... Only too dawn...
For a pale night`s gone...
Silently braced...
Towards death`s all grace...

Inside the forest of insomnia...
The dystopian nightmare shall end...

Stars... lights the road...
To our destiny`s code
Quietly proceed...
To the shadows of my path...
Shallow... cliffs of conscience...
Arising from hell...
The abyss...
Awaits our call to begin the sleep...

Inside the forest of insomnia...
The dystopian nightmare shall end...

Asleep... In the fores of insomnia...
Never to awake...
Falling down...
Along the rocks of death...
Cursed... By the one...
And not the heavenly son...
Broken down...
Inside me I am now dead...

Inside the forest of insomnia...
The dystopian nightmare shall end..

In My Time of Need (Opeth Cover)

Dead Letters is the first track taken from new album Dead End Kings, go to the album site to sign up to the mailing list and download the track for FREE: deadendkings.com. A continuation of 2009’s inspired & acclaimed Night is the New Day, Dead End Kings sees Katatonia conjure yet another milestone in audial melancholy & angst.

The Katatonia of 2012 is more potent, focused and creatively impactful than ever before. Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström - alongside guitarist Per Eriksson, bassist Niklas Sandin and drummer Daniel Liljekvist – are at the peak of their powers right now, and their brand new studio album Dead End Kings provides incontrovertible evidence of their unstoppable artistic momentum. A rich, adventurous and endlessly evocative masterwork that exhibits all the Swedish quintet’s established traits while absorbing countless fresh ideas into that monumental sonic brew, this is plainly the strongest and most beguiling album in the Katatonia catalogue to date. It also proves that sadness comes in many shades and that no one is safe from its cold allure.

“Dead End Kings represents progression and taking things to the next level,” says Renkse. ”The writing was a little more intense and spontaneous for this one. I think that’s the biggest difference. But it was made with the same mindset as the last few albums. It just had a little more fire involved. We don’t want to repeat ourselves. We are still hungry for new music.”
Dead End Kings was recorded at Ghost Ward Studios & The City Of Glass. The album was produced by Anders Nyström & Jonas Renkse, & mixed by David Castillo. Additionally, Katatonia is joined once again by Frank Default on sampling & atmospherics, plus a special guest appearance by Norwegian vocalist Silje Wergeland of Dutch legends The Gathering/ex-Octavia Sperati.

Artwork is supplied by long-time visual collaborator Travis Smith.
