Nephilim - Katatonia - Night is the new day

[hyerkill]

it's like black sabbath + opeth + old katatonia for me in this song, very doomy atmosphere and lots of interesting arrangements

[ozzzzy939]

well to me opeth and katatonia have a very similar rhythm and feeling.

[wakabayahithebest]

DOOOM!!!

[xorganizationxvx]

Opeth, Meshuggah, and Katatonia are awesome. And so is this song.

[vetlerradio]

@xorganizationxvx They are like the best bands ( with Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree hehe) !

[xorganizationxvx]

@vetlerradio Porcupine Tree for sure. Can't say I'm a huge Dream Theater fan. I mainly just don't like the vocals. Other than that though, Jordan Rudess is the best keyboard player I know of.. and Petrucci is definitely one of the best guitarists out there.

[felima999]

This song shivers me...it horripilates me. And I love it so much....

[AbominavelDeChelas]

Wtf Meshuggah? You guys should quit drugs...

[AnimeGuy9]

Just heard NITND for the first time a few days ago, and this was my favorite track. Reminds me of "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light"- era My Dying Bride, specifically the riff right after the line "To take your son".

[Opranius]

Comparing Opeth and Katatonia = Fail:

Just look at the influences of both bands and you'll notice that they have many non-metal ones that are similary. So Opeth and Katatonia always will conform in some way.

In fact, we have so many "pure" metal-bands...it's a logical consequence that we always try to compare the "hybrid metal-bands".

[Songofwyrd]

@UselessOpinions Significant chunks of Viva Emptiness disagree with your anti Opeth assertations. I think a large number of people are just arguing this because they think this is somehow supposed to imply Katatonia is bad - Far from it.

And I certainly never said anything about Meshuggah and Katatonia, so I have no idea where you got that from....

[UselessOpinions]

@Songofwyrd BS. I'll be the first to admit Idle Blood sounds like Opeth. However, If YOU hear some "outright" Opeth influence on Viva then that's all in your head.

Someone else mentioned Meshuggah so don't worry about it.

[Georgeisagamer]

Katatonia must be more famous for their awsome music.

Thumbs up if u agree.

[9rmetal]

theres even a sound of swallow the sun i think its psychopaths lair yeah is that song

[Songofwyrd]

No one's taking anything away from Katatonia, least of all me. But they have flirted with Opeth-esque moments for a few albums now, although spinning them a great deal more doomy. Its not surprising - Jonas Renske and Mikael Akerfeldt are close friends, and used to live together.

[UselessOpinions]

@Songofwyrd Katatonia has never shown any Opeth influence besides Idle Blood and a few brief instances on the new record. This track however sounds nothing like Opeth and most certainly has nothing to do with Meshuggah. The only similarity between Katatonia and Meshuggah is the intro to both "Forsaker" and "Future Breed Machine" and even that's stretching it.

[CraigGSF]

Hey guys, if you like Katatonia than check out my band Grey Skies Fallen on my channel.

Katatonia rules!!!

[anushiravan]

best metal band ever !

[Arkayem]

This sounds nothing like Opeth at all.

Lets leave Katatonia to their own sound, because they do have one, and it is fucking amazing.

[ChristinaDarkRose]

@Arkayem exactly!Katatonia is a unique perfect band and so is Opeth.But their sounds are way different as you said

[neunmad]

I hear some meshuggah and Opeth in this :D It's awesome

[NextArminius]

@neunmad Exactly! But maybe the Meshuggah influence is more obvious in Forsaker? Anyway, great bands all!

[Mrcastleskeep]

@NextArminius That's the first thing I thought when I first heard forsaker. You won't hear me complaining though. I LOVE both bands and "Forsaker" is a great song.

[FromDimmuLand]

I liked this album.

When I listen to this song, I get images of ancient sumer and atlantis and lemuria etc...

[AboveDelusion]

@FromDimmuLand

Funny, I always think of winter and autumn and just general gloominess when I listen to this album. I fucking love it.

[skeletoys]

Katatonia needs to buy Opeth a round of beers!

[9rmetal]

@skeletoys hahaha funny man
