Katatonia have come a long way since the slow, sorrowful doomdeath sounds of Dance Of December Souls. Like others in the doomdeath field, the progression has been toward clean vocals and a less heavyhanded (though still metallic) songwriting style, with the new material such as Tonight's Decision and Last Fair Deal Gone Down bordering on alternative metal (albeit a darker, heavier version) at times. What increasingly sets this band apart from others is the guitar work, a melancholy yet quite tuneful style that is distinctive, interesting, and unique.
