ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1999
VARIANT: Half-Speed, Black Vinyl LP

Tonights Decision, Katatonias debut release for Peaceville Records, was the bands fourth album & found the Swedes further developing the more structured style explored on their previous album Discouraged Ones.

Immediately heralded as a classic by fans, Tonights Decision stylistically builds on the refined shoe-gazing qualities of their previous album, while simultaneously exploring the more impactful metallic possibilities of the evolving Katatonia sound. Jonass growing interest in singer/songwriters is reflected in the albums sound & wonderfully exemplified by the thoughtful & moving rendition of Jeff Buckleys Nightmares By The Sea. The brilliant combination of Anders haunting guitar work & Jonass potent lyrics evokes images of urban decay & emotional turmoil in a way unique to this always searching band.

Tonights Decision was recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studios in Sweden, with drums on the album performed by metal maestro, Dan Swan.

This edition of Tonights Decision features a new half-speed master for improved sound clarity & is presented on black vinyl.
