 Neokhrome is a band I didn’t even know existed until a while ago; more precisely until I got an e-mail from vocalist/instrument player Vasvári Gyula. What made me accept the invitation to write something about this material? First...

 Starting with the album Tonight’s Decision in 1999, Katatonia took a rather drastic turn from the melodic/depressive funeral death doom they had played since 1991, in that they gave up the “death” element or any sort of growling. They discovered...
