only we elder souls understand the meaning of the depth in these harmonies. Let the younger souls attempt to understand, they have yet many cycles to walk before reaching our level.
umm because they are amazing and so is bloodbath. just started listening to katatonia (literally today) and so far, i really like these guys. great music
This video is great. It completely fits the lyrical theme, of depression and seeing the world fade away (see the graphical effects of bluring, grayscale, bathtub with razors etc.) . This truely one of my favourite songs :)
lov´em they really rock!! since the fussion with Akerfeldt and Akerfeldt with steven wilson da progresive genere has been transformed in da new bands influences that follows these awsome bands steps..
His voice, the abstract perfection of the music in rythm squeezed in with this sensation of desolate lonely sentences that you kind of try to puzzle together to make a complete meaningful coherent thought of it, failing miserably whilst he's already in on the next line..you give in to the emptiness, meaninglessness, full of some sort of soul that is unspeakable...and then you try again, and again...and every time you find something new, thinking _i got it, just to get lost all over again , come to the end, and think..ONE more time, i nearly got it...all while you are being hopelessly hooked on to something you don't know what or how...but you are in the Katatonia net..and all you know is, _i might as well stop struggling...they HAVE me..
ah i see what you mean. its true they are pretty different, but its cool they like playing both cause that means different influences on whatever sound they happen to be going for at the time
Yes, I can agree that this is "cudowne" (wonderful):D Katatonia is an amazing band, not many bands have got so touching-inside sounds and lyrics.. It's our and of course my deliberation..
Visions come Visions come In a sickroom bed There's something left to learn Pass them on Let it show Let the rich meet death Confront our own concern See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time The red circle holds the only light Break down my perspective And notify everyone when the time is right My mouth remains inactive See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me And I learn the words I didn't know before I am ice I am clear Let the world be cold Our deliberation Pass them on Let it show Let the words come slow Your constant incantation See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me And I learn the words I didn't know before Repeating cycle of light / no light There's nothing in the airspace There's no one in the airspace Repeating cycle of love / no love See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me And I learn the words I didn't know before
Very, very true, they are both amazing bands. Actually Opeth formed in 90 and Katatonia came around a year later. Although if I remember correctly, Opeths Orchid didn't come out until 95 where as Katatonias Dance of December souls came out in 93. And of course, the mighty Mikael Akerfeldt joined Katatonia for a year after Renske could no longer growl. It is amazing how intertwined Bloodbath, Katatonia and Opeth really are....Porcupine Tree could also fit in here 2 (at least with Opeth)
actually i think this video is very good. a lot of work has gone into it clearly. its simple shots, but the effects and the way its been cut work incredibly well to create a dark atmosphere. the song though, i prefer "july" or "soil song" and i think they should have released either of them ones
just try their older stuff. from their very first release until the 'sounds of decay' EP, might be what you're looking for. and they're very personal all-time favorites to me) 'brave murder day' and 'sounds of decay' feature mikael akerfeldt as the main vocalist. awesome. since 'discouraged ones' and forward they've had that heavy rock with metal aspects sound you're talking about.
You go through a folder and find a label Doom/darkmetal, you peep in to it there you find Katatonia. You put on a Song and Wow what great music you think then you just fall back and Enjoy it :). Then when ppl come and complain "they are this and they are that" just turn up the volume and ignore ;P
Tonight's Decision deserves a second hearing... Believe me it's an excellent album. The first one i've heard from Katatonia. Yes, this is the album Katatonia changed their sound into something more simple and less Doom but the guitars are still sharp enough and the most important is that the feeling is still the same. "For my demons" and "Right into the Bliss" - check them out..

Well actually it's not impossible. For me dark music is an excellent way to handle everything that is going on in my life and deal with it. So in the end, dark music really does make me happy.
I think the video was great. Sure I liked "My Twin" better, but that was probably done on a bigger budget. This one had a cool underground vibe to it. I'm so glad the band put them here or I would never be able to see them.
Well, they get their metal influences from their old days. Katatonia used to be a death/doom metal band, but Jonas changed his vocal style in time for their 1998 release. The growls were having a negative effect on his body. Opeth tends to switch vocals mid-song, but with katatonia it's never mixed, which is why you probably don't seem to like it. I think I might give that band you mentioned a listen :P
Jonas Renske is an awesome and emotive singer (he's perfect for a gothic rock or doom metal band). They are not becoming mainsteam, and their lyrics are intelligent.
Doom are : Candlemass, Cathedral, Pentagram etc. Listen to them and tell me if the mood is the same... Katatonia belong to a group of bands i call Atmospheric Metal... with Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Tiamat (not early), Sentenced etc. Anyway, i believe that Katatonia's best work is Tonight's Decision. What do you think?
Cuz there are two types of music...good and bad...and katatonia and Bloodbath are part of the good type...so they understand how to make good music, whatever style it is.
I am rather new to this stuff (Doom Metal), but it sounds rather awesome. Can you recommend some stuff? I've listened to Technical Death and Progressive Death for quite a while now, but it's always nice to explore a new genre. Thanks in advance =)
Katatonia is awesome.
I fell in love with this band immediately when I heard the song July :)
The best band for the nights...
No one can write music and song like early katatonia!! Period
only we elder souls understand the meaning of the depth in these harmonies. Let the younger souls attempt to understand, they have yet many cycles to walk before reaching our level.
umm because they are amazing and so is bloodbath.
just started listening to katatonia (literally today) and so far, i really like these guys. great music
Katatonia are probably the most sincerest band in their field.
i wish they would come tour north america
such a amazing band !!
one of my favs
i have loved katatonia for years. and this song rocks.
One of the greatest songs ever written by a unique band. Justify your own reward.
Whatever people label it as, it's damn fine music.
This album will become a classic !! Its brilliance is undeniable.
This music video matches the song perfectly. The dark, grainy and convoluted images serve the lyrics/theme well.
This video is great. It completely fits the lyrical theme, of depression and seeing the world fade away (see the graphical effects of bluring, grayscale, bathtub with razors etc.) . This truely one of my favourite songs :)
Second song/video of Katatonia i am watching/hearing... and all i can say is that i really like it.
lov´em they really rock!!
since the fussion with Akerfeldt and Akerfeldt with steven wilson da progresive genere has been transformed in da new bands influences that follows these awsome bands steps..
on myspace they catagorise themselves as Metal/Gothic/Rock.
this is the song that got me into the band, love it!

this is what i call DIVINE music... ah so awesome
Favorite Katatonia Album!
hmmm....very nice song! i also like the one called ''i am nothing"!!!
love this band...
Bloodbath are, in my opinion, one of the greatest metal supergoups in existence!
Katatonia is amazing, the most unique band in the world
Zajebista piosenka!!!
katatonia rules. great song
KATATONIA rules !
this band is awesome
You put your hands on me, and I learn words..I didn't know before.
Katatonia is cool, great, amazing! This is real. The harmony between this video and the song is fucking alright!
KATATONIA RULEZ! \M/
katatonia! yeah!
see ya at summerbreeze festival in germany!!!
Avesome band, this is truly katatonia!!!
ah i see what you mean. its true they are pretty different, but its cool they like playing both cause that means different influences on whatever sound they happen to be going for at the time
Yes, I can agree that this is "cudowne" (wonderful):D Katatonia is an amazing band, not many bands have got so touching-inside sounds and lyrics.. It's our and of course my deliberation..
Visions come
Visions come
In a sickroom bed
There's something left to learn
Pass them on
Let it show
Let the rich meet death
Confront our own concern
See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time
The red circle holds the only light
Break down my perspective
And notify everyone when the time is right
My mouth remains inactive
See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time
So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before
I am ice
I am clear
Let the world be cold
Our deliberation
Pass them on
Let it show
Let the words come slow
Your constant incantation
See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time
So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before
Repeating cycle of light / no light
There's nothing in the airspace
There's no one in the airspace
Repeating cycle of love / no love
See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time
So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before
wow, one of the best videos if ever seen.. and i love the music
its so... emotional, its great :)
i like these song.
Very, very true, they are both amazing bands. Actually Opeth formed in 90 and Katatonia came around a year later. Although if I remember correctly, Opeths Orchid didn't come out until 95 where as Katatonias Dance of December souls came out in 93.

It is amazing how intertwined Bloodbath, Katatonia and Opeth really are....Porcupine Tree could also fit in here 2 (at least with Opeth)
An Epic Masterpiece.
2022, still learn words, that i didn't know before
this music is so sad, i love it.
actually i think this video is very good. a lot of work has gone into it clearly. its simple shots, but the effects and the way its been cut work incredibly well to create a dark atmosphere. the song though, i prefer "july" or "soil song" and i think they should have released either of them ones
Cudowne!!!!!!!!!!!!
notify everyone when the time is right ( this song never gets old)
great video, i can't wait for the 5.1 disc to come out in march.that will be 'da shit!

well said rosstopher223. katatonia rules all.
just try their older stuff. from their very first release until the 'sounds of decay' EP, might be what you're looking for. and they're very personal all-time favorites to me)
'brave murder day' and 'sounds of decay' feature mikael akerfeldt as the main vocalist. awesome.
since 'discouraged ones' and forward they've had that heavy rock with metal aspects sound you're talking about.
as much as i love katatonia, i wish they made more albums like their first
esta muy buena la rola esat de pocas madres
yo le pongo un 10 bueno se merese mas q el 10 esta con madre la rola me gusto mucho

You go through a folder and find a label Doom/darkmetal, you peep in to it there you find Katatonia. You put on a Song and Wow what great music you think then you just fall back and Enjoy it :). Then when ppl come and complain "they are this and they are that" just turn up the volume and ignore ;P
Great band!
katatonia great
"Why the hell cant we just listen to the music and enjoy it rather than come up with ten million genres to put it into?"
exactly!
Would kill to see these guys live. I have the Live Consternation album and it's awesome.
New Katatonia style better than Anathema?
Tonight's Decision deserves a second hearing...
Believe me it's an excellent album.
The first one i've heard from Katatonia.
Yes, this is the album Katatonia changed their sound into something more simple and less Doom but the guitars are still sharp enough and the most important is that the feeling is still the same.
"For my demons" and "Right into the Bliss" - check them out..
great song! :)
don't know other song of them but this one is just beautyfull
This song is about death (suicide, to be more specific). He refers to death in the second person.."you put your arms on me..."
great one
Awesome stuff. I just now heard of this great band, and find out two members are leaving, what's up!
point well made
Visions come

I think I might give that band you mentioned a listen :P
Visions come .. visions come ..
fucking awsome video....fucking awosome band...
me too!
i don't think it matters in which box we put music...its just good
Jonas Renske is an awesome and emotive singer (he's perfect for a gothic rock or doom metal band). They are not becoming mainsteam, and their lyrics are intelligent.
Doom are : Candlemass, Cathedral, Pentagram etc.
Listen to them and tell me if the mood is the same...
Katatonia belong to a group of bands i call Atmospheric Metal...
with Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Tiamat (not early), Sentenced etc.
Anyway, i believe that Katatonia's best work is Tonight's Decision.
What do you think?
@Metitanium Early Opeth was Black and Death Metal
Cuz there are two types of music...good and bad...and katatonia and Bloodbath are part of the good type...so they understand how to make good music, whatever style it is.
i can understand it,the other people cant because they dont even understand the music and the lyrics,you have to like it to understand it
there a good band i licen to them went i wont to relax
@Metal666machine yes it is
"dark music makes me happy" it is impossible
In the past, Katatonia are doom metal with influence black.
i'll get on that...but i doubt i'll concede...lol
I am rather new to this stuff (Doom Metal), but it sounds rather awesome. Can you recommend some stuff? I've listened to Technical Death and Progressive Death for quite a while now, but it's always nice to explore a new genre.
Thanks in advance =)
i think its just because of a few guitar lines and echoes - btw there are still universes between them....
