| The early Katatonia albums are noted for the overall melancholy of their sound, often giving them the classification of doom metal or dark metal.Katatonia's more recent albums have progressed to a wider sound, with modern overtones, dropped guitars, symphonic synths and arrangements, alternative sounds and generally heavier riffs.Brave Murder Day and Sounds of Decay after regular Katatonia singer (and then drummer) Jonas Renkse became unable to scream properly.This shift in instrumental tone and vocal style was accompanied by an appreciable decrease in the length of the band's songs, with latter period songs typically lasting around four minutes.Katatonia has released two compilations.Brave Murder Day and Dance of December Souls, and two tracks from a compilation.The Black Sessions is a limited release that documents later releases and includes a live DVD.October Tide while in Katatonia.External links
