May 1, 2020I love Katatonia but this album was somewhat disappointing and it's not because it lacks quality but because it lacks ideas.
Many of the songs sound the same and there's no really interesting progression in the sound.
I liked the last 2 songs more than the rest but that definitely does not save the album. -
Jul 25, 2020Devoid of any flavor or personality. "City Burials" is nothing compared to their early work. It is painfully boring, poorly written, and redundant.

Oct 2, 2020Simply superb! Absolutely love this album. First two songs, Heart Set to Divide and Behind the Blood are some of their best tracks to date!

Classic Rock MagazineMay 6, 2020Deft arrangements, vintage heaviness, classic power. [Jun 2020, p.89]

Apr 30, 2020Steeped 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.

Apr 30, 2020City 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.
