The cleans (yes, I know who does them) kinda make me think of a prettier version of Chad from Mudvayne when he does his melodic cleans. Yes, I know Katatonia was around way before Mudvayne, I just heard Mudvayne first, I'm only 18 so give me a break lol
this song musically is great, I like it a lot. Lyrically I want an explanation, is this song talking about love and taking revenge? She's with another guy and this guy is so pissed off that simply cannot take it..?
@PickleMan2135 It's called that after the song, I guess they just picked an easy and catchy title. But imo it kinda suits them really if you think about all their LPs... First "The morning never came" so everyone was depressed, than "Ghosts of loss" can't be good news either, and then the optimistic "Hope" came and helped people survive so they could see the "New Moon" in 2009 ;) Just my interpretation. I wonder what'll be next.
No, they don't do any of their older more death metal sounding songs anymore. Just the song w/ clean vocals. If any of their songs have screaming in them, one of the guitarists does it.
I had the pleasure of being able to see Swallow the Sun and Katatonia on September 30th in Dallas. Was an amazing show. And wow, more people talking about Insomnium, I was starting to think I was the only person that loved them :)
@nikolaidarke Does Katatonia only play their new material at concerts now because Jonas Renkse fucked up his vocal cords? Do they bring in someone for the growled vocals for their older songs?
I listen to Katatonia, Insomnium, and Swallow the Sun as well! I think it would be the fucking best experience in my life to see them all at a concert. I would fucking kill if they had a tour together!
Doom metal at its finest I guess, cause I'm even more sad after this song. Amazing music nonetheless. Love the vocals, I usually think that they should be a tad louder than the rest of the music so we have an easy acces to the voices but here, they just fit, create an atmosphere of despair, fading away.
Hail Katatonia! Looking forward to their new album in October. Been istening to Katatonia since 2003 with Viva Emptiness. Excellent music. Swallow the sun are also a good band.
The one who sings clean in this song is johan renkse from katatonia..you can search that for yourself.. Johan and åkerfeldt from Opeth are the best singers in the world..my opinion..
Yep, and My Dying Bride and Daylight Dies and Eternal Tears Of Sorrow. not many people like those bands where I live. Strange huh? Ah well im glad some people have a good taste in metal music.
These hours of despair is the best song off the album IMO. This song is good also though.
