Beginning of 1990s, debut album, death doom metal, song about sorrow and dying... Quite unusual in such situation to hear a 5/4 time signature, isn't it? And then 4/4... And then 3/4... And then 4/4 again... Frankly speaking, this rhythm is so slow, it's more like 5/2 than 5/4, so it doesn't create any jazz atmosphere and I didn't notice this for years. And now it opens a whole new dimension for me.

More like: "...and from the gateways you hear my cry... I LOOOOOOVE YOOOUU!" Pure cry of suffering. Jonas left the degraded soul on that recording.

Beautiful song with a beautiful melodic atmosphere. If i have to be honest i can't understand why people praise their later material more, the first four albums are much better imo. And i think that the earlier stuff is more melancholic, which automatically means better music quality (for me).

The last line gives me shivers every time, but the whole song is crushingly beautiful. Perfect in its hopeless melancholy.

@dominaeon: If it wasn't really for that last line, I would've never guessed what this song is about. The album is full of random motifs in songs, the songs don't really talk about anything in particular, they just have motifs. It's still pretty good tho, but I can't tell what they are telling most of the time.

Anyone notice the same sound effect at the very start of the song as Emperor's "Into the Infinity Of Thoughts"?

A timeless classic within the realms of Death/Doom... when I listen to this, it kind of makes me wish Katatonia would have kept playing Doom Metal .

Gateways of Bereavement is simply the most beautifully depressing song I have in my library. Musically and lyrically flawless.

This is actually quite good! Much more melodic than I had expected & great drumming.

unrecognisable compared to katatonia's music of recent years (like 2 different bands) - this album is a classic, so brilliant
