Regarded by many, including the band themselves, as Katatonia's finest album, Viva Emptiness cemented the band's reputation as one of the finest exponents of heavy rock and doom and gloom pop. The band's hard rocking yet melodic sound, which had developed over their previous five albums, reached its peak on this album, which many critics view as a classic of the genre.
