The Chant New Haven

2014, With their critically acclaimed 2012-album A HEALING PLACE, these Finnish Atmospheric Rock-veterans appeared to have found a spot where things would fall into place. Compared to A HEALING PLACE, the atmosphere on this record is much darker and truly hypnotic - and more dramatic than ever. This time, the Finns achieved to capture the kind of mesmerizing melancholy that has made Katatonia the figurehead of an entire genre. It's almost as if an unspoken threat follows the listener throughout the entire musical and lyrical journey that The Chant are undertaking here - be it the audio-visual labyrinth of ,,Minotaur", the Nine Inch Nails-flavored, noisy ,,Cloud Symmetry" or the solemn closing track ,,Come To Pass". So make no mistake - NEW HAVEN is not a place of sheer convenience, but one of constant motion and challenge.
