  • @stefanovitali2925
    @stefanovitali2925 Рік тому +16

    Fun fact. Singer Jonas kinda destroyed his voice doing growls early on their career, so they had to call Mikael to growl on Brave Murder Day. Fun and all (not really, more like sweet depression and all), but Mikael had Opeth, so they decided to move on from growls and have Jonas sing clean, adapting the music to a more melodic style in the process.

    I forgot to put the poll results in the video!
    July: 38%
    Evidence: 17%
    Deliberation: 25%
    Old Heart Falls: 20%

    • @QVIRINVS
      @QVIRINVS Рік тому +3

      Old Heart Falls is like a "manifesto" of.. being.. there (whatever "there" is, emotionally). Evidence is very "funny" lyrically (I mean, the way it is written.. nothing is FUNNY going by with Katatonia).
      Honestly... almost everything u pick up from Katatonia (at least, the last 5-6 albums, guessing ur tastes) it will be a great moment (to enjoy.. and to watch u enjoyin).
      Anyway, some days ago the new song came out.. few reactions atm..
      Very catchy poppy song, but, as usual, great imho.
      Keep on!!

    Glad you liked it! If you are into "sadness and pain", then Katatonia is definitely the go-to band.
    Since you are new to the band, I would suggest doing a couple of other songs from the same album.
    Some recommendations : In the White, Deliberation, Dissolving Bonds, Unfurl.

    • @elkapro6534
      @elkapro6534 Рік тому

      when it comes to "sadness and pain", I doubt anything will ever top Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch, for me. It does need some love for slow and ambient, and the right mood, but when it all clicks, the emotions will hit you like a train. It's best described as a journey (and not only because of its length). I still hope that at some point, someone will do full reaction to it.
      Also great band for "sadness and pain" were Woods of Ypres, especially their last album (particularly due to the circumstances surrounding its release). Songs like Traveling Alone, Silver or Kiss My Ashes Goodbye just hit a lot. And they were much closer to Katatonia in sound than Bell Witch are

    Wonderful reaction! Just reminds me of how much I love your format: Listen (backwards and forwards) and talk as much as you like (we know the songs and want to hear your spontaneous thoughts) THEN do a full listen off camera and give your final thoughts. Such a great concept!
    Would suggest Consternation for a different but awesome(!) song by them. (But maybe save it for a bit)
    Wealth is another banger of a melancholic prog metal song.
    And... The City of Glass is just SO beatutiful!! (Also from Viva Emptiness. A killer album! - but they have a few...)

    Go way back in the discography - the first Katatonia song I heard was 'Brave', when I used to go to a death metal record store, and the guy I always talked to put it on as a personal recommendation - it's a hypnotic track and completely changed my perspective on how metal could sound

    Time for the Katatonia rabbit hole. You should try something from Tonight's Decision (maybe For My Demons or A Darkness Coming) or Last Fair Deal Gone Down (I'd recommend Dispossession or Clean Today).
    Those are both fantastic albums. A bit different in tone from this one and from each other, but completely necessary on this journey.

    If you remember listening to bloodbath (which now, that you like the demon, you might enjoy more of their songs), their bassist (you do love bass guy) is non other than Katatonia's singer. Their guitarist is also part of the band.. Katatonia's earlier work had growls and guess who lended his voice? Mr. Mikael Åkerfeldt. it's a small world after all

    "My Twin" was my favorite too for a while, before I heard "July", which I heard just shortly after (same album :p). lol I would be very surprised if it stayed your favorite. It's a great song, don't get me wrong, but they have so many great songs, the likelihood you find a new favorite is HIGH. As far as their singles go, "My Twin", I would say, is one of their best. I think the reason it sticks with you so, is not only because it was your first, but also because it is accessible, catchy, and has a pretty standard, easily-stuck-in-your-head song structure. Just a few reasons it was picked as one of their singles. The singles, for me, tend to have less longevity.
    I highly recommend "Unfurl". You'll thank me. Very confident in this. 😛 And "Leaders" is another good one. Both those recommendations are off the same album as "My Twin", "The Great Cold Distance". Easily one of their best albums.

      I would suggest to go through their "The Great Cold Distance (10th Anniversary Edition)" first to get habituated to their sound. Their sound has changed a few times throughout their career, but I think TGCD should be a good starting point as the songs in that album are relatively simpler and catchier compared to the songs in the newer albums.

  • @TemporalShrew
    @TemporalShrew Рік тому +1

    Katatonia rules. My personal favorite record of theirs - and I don't think it's an especially common view - is The Fall of Hearts. More "moody" than "dark," but some of the best songs and atmospheres they've put together their whole career.
    If I had to suggest something else from this album, I'd go with "Increase" or "In the White."
    Otherwise, my recommendations for someone new would be "Residual," "Lethean," or "Rein," if you want something quite recent.

  • @thinkingkind8675
    @thinkingkind8675 Рік тому +1

    I know you need to save things for reaction but if you love these tunes this much, you need to do a deep dive on them. For me, from their album Viva Emptiness to the Fall of Hearts is the best stretch of albums from any band I've ever heard. Night is the New Day and Dead End Kings have been in my top 5 albums since they came out. Make sure to dive into their B sides and extra tracks as well.
    The track Vakaren is in swedish, I don't even know what he's singing, but the emotion and atmosphere, Jonas' voice, just absolutely hypnotizing and I can listen to the track for literally hours. Also, Unfurl, another track that wasn't included on an album is one I can get lost in for hours at a time. They are a band that's beyond special if you don't mind getting lost in melancholy.
