    Devoid of any flavor or personality. "City Burials" is nothing compared to their early work. It is painfully boring, poorly written, and redundant.

    Deft arrangements, vintage heaviness, classic power. [Jun 2020, p.89]

    Steeped in striking colors but never losing sight of the gloom and grey continuum Katatonia have mastered throughout their discography, City Burials is emotionally arresting, ceaselessly atmospheric, and a milestone release that serenely ebbs and flows across a myriad of intricate, stratified soundscapes.

    City Burials is not a reinvention, but it does contain periodic re-engagement with the steely dynamics of heavy metal. Renkse's excellent songwriting, coupled with his best overall viocal performance, serve to energize Katatonia, who remain vitally creative in their third decade.
