KATATONIA’s “Moonbride” artwork at the time of “For funerals to come...” (1995)
“Through the bleak window of my soul
In marble halls of falling snow
Winter touch the Earth undone
Embittered, we embrace the funerals to come”

You know, I just think it's really cool of Jonas to take pictures with fans like this. A real A+ gentleman if you ask me. Keep being an inspiration my guy.
Also, as a thanks, go stream Katatonia's latest single Austerity on Spotify!!

Tuesday, August 22: Katatonia, "Rein"
Jonas Renkse fully took over songwriting for Katatonia on City Burials, essentially committing the band to the more progressive direction that The Fall of Hearts first presented. To that end, the riffing wasn’t overly complex or technical, but laid an atmospheric foundation for Roger Öjersson to craft interesting leads and for Daniel Moilanen to power the narrative (and steal the show) with his jazz-inflected drumming. All of this was in service of increasingly enigmatic and downcast but not self-indulgent or whiny songs, and “Rein” captured the band’s approach in full: the track wasn’t very long, but it captured a variety of dynamics in such a subtle manner that on first listen it was easy to overlook everything that was going on within the song. Everything cohered into a moody whole, with even Renkse’s vocals floating over everything and creating a corresponding narrative alongside Moilanen. It didn’t necessarily grab attention the way The Fall of Hearts did, but “Rein” showed that Katatonia had successfully found a way to build on their template without falling back on formula.

Katatonia - Author
Feel the future
Sift through your days
In your palace of wretched steel
See my absence as something good
Oh, grant your eyes a little rest
Turn your face towards your fortune
See my absence as something good
Author of scars
I see your hands upon my epitaph
Then you shift into a looking glass
A sky void of stars
Touch the concrete
Placed on my chest
And chain the songbirds to your argent dome
Confirm my fate as disposable
Oh, grant your eyes a little rest
Turn your face towards your fortune
And keep your promises negotiable
Author of scars
I see your hands upon my epitaph
Then you shift into a looking glass
A sky void of stars
It's shaking
My trembling howl
It's breaking
Overtaking
Author of scars
I see your hands upon my epitaph
Then you shift into a looking glass
A sky void of stars
Creator of flaws
I know you will be the last to laugh
Then you shift into a looking glass
A sky void of stars
