Most of The Great Cold Distance sounds like A Perfect Circle or Tool, so I'm not surprised many Katatonia fans like them too. It's essentially Jonas' vocals that bring them to mind, at least for me.
I honestly believe that this song has the best guitar piece in the history of metal, that is on record. This is just an over dramatic way of saying that I love the guitar in this song, bass included.
Opeth and Katatonia are [apparently] two completely different bands.
I love Katatonia to bits, but I would never say Katatonia could be any better than Opeth. I mean... Lyricwise Katatonia is much better as thair songs are really deep, but musicwise, there is no band in the world that could ever beat Opeth. Moreover Opeth has kickass lyrics too. :)
@strykerzr350 as if tool came first homo. tools heaps better, katatonia is let down by the fact that too many of there song structures are the same, also that alot of it sounds the same. dont get me wrong i think there a good band. But tool shits on them
@strykerzr350 Tool is hardly comparable with APC. APC is more melodic and (a lot) less complicated rythmically. Next to that Tool is way more experimental.
The only real reason they're compared is because of the mutual vocalist. Without the vocalist, I think few would compare them or put them in the same box. (few that actualy have keen hearing anyway)
And Katatonia isn't half the band Tool is. Tool is so much more groundbreaking musically.
anyway, a fucking great song and an awesome band. always wanted to see them live but never got the chance :/ i want to lay on the concert floor and just listen to this sound :)
It's possible that he says it wrong, you shouldn't be surprised:) Jonas says English words in a very funny way- somewhere he shortens them, sometimes adds accents in strange moments... but in my opinion it makes him even more charming:D
@iryzzone Absolutely. And it's not so much that he's saying words wrong-- he's Swedish! There is no "J" sound in Swedish, it's pronounced as a "y". Those of us who speak English as our first language would be hard pressed to sing in Swedish!
@DrumlineGuru I didn't know!... That's so surprising! But it explains, why Arjen Lucassen of Ayeron in his video about 0101001 album, said 'Yonas' instead of 'Jonas' in English pronouncation. Now I know why:) Thanks!
don't hate on katatonia. they are fucking wickedly sick live. I've seen em 3 times and each time it got better than the last. They played dissolving bonds at the last show I went to and I was completely blown away. Katatonia is my absolute hands down fave metal band. :) Opeth is 2nd. :P
This "great cold distance" definitively punched me in the fucking nuts!!!! MAN, WHAT AN ALBUM!!! AMAZING and the live performance sounds really awesome. Very very good

It's amazing how the guitars can be blazing metal but Jonas maintains a soft and melodic voice during the chorus. Pure art!

not a huge fan of the distortion on the guitars. maybe they want a more aggressive edge live then on record but i would prefer a cleaner sound.
