The Great Cold Distance – 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

katatonia

There’s no doubt that the 2006 seventh album from the consistently impressive Swedish progressive metallers is one of their best, and heaviest, too. And this four-disc hardback package is the ultimate edition; rounding up the record’s B-sides – which are easily up to the standard of the album and well worth a fan’s time with

showcasing the band’s trippy, mellower side at its most sublime. Included in this deluxe edition is also the special one-off performance of the album in Bulgaria with the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra who have also played with Paradise Lost and Opeth. They certainly add to the atmosphere of some songs – July and

In The White in particular. It’s just a shame the gig wasn’t filmed too, but the 5.1 mixes of the album and gig will make this a desirable package for audiophile fans. Rob Laing Download My Twin
