Hey everybody! I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains electronic upbeat and ambient songs heavily inspired by Katatonia and the music of Anders Nystrom and Jonas Renkse (including October Tide and Diabolical Masquerade). If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) .
I'm not sure why they can't play this live still. Anders is totally capable of doing the growling and giving Jonas's vocal chords a rest, and Jonas could play the rhythm guitar.
Man, I'm a huge fan of Katatonia, particularly of the old albums and if you compare those growls with the ones that Jonas delivers today, well... there's a big difference. And it's obvious that if he knew how to do that, the career of Katatonia would have been really different
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Let's see. Jonas can sing in the concerts with gutural voices like this one in Murder but he can't sing like this in the newest albums... Strange, hah?
Because of his throat problems.. He hasn't been able to growl since the recording of Brave murder day (on which he didn't perform) (but a kinda weaker growl was used in the first October Tide album some years later though)
Opeth, Agalloch, Swallow the Sun, Novembers Doom, My Dying Bride, and Riverside (more prog rock than metal) all sound similar to Katatonia, but are different also, so you won't get bored of them.
the ending gives me shivers every time i hear it. this song is a real masterpiece with great harmonics and dynamic drumming, by far the best version of murder. i wish i would have been there..
After my Opeth experience, this is first time for long time that i have been blown away like this :O Got to salute Katatonia, this is totaly awesome! Going to order Brave murder day right now!
Its true that Katatonia are a lot different now from the "Brave Murder Day" days, but seriously, who can argue that Evidence and My Twin are not good songs???
he did't lost his harsh vocal he just made anew style with October Tide 1997 October "rain with out end " he made harsh vocal and mikeal was vocal in "Brave Murder Day "1996 that mean he was can do harsh vocal in "Brave Murder Day" but he did "Day" song onlay
HUH??? Has anyone actually heard Jonas Renske growl on Dance of December Souls (debut album???) Jesus, no one on earth can sound that EVIL as he has within that era of his career. I'm sure he could have been MORE than capable enough to sound kickass on the album had he been able to growl at the time. Seriously, Jonas was amazing. DoDS is still one of the best albums I have heard.
I love all albums they made with Mikael Akerfeldt and especially there side project "October Tide". But I could not say that there other albums mean nothing. All of there albums are great, but the albums they made with Mikael Akerfeldt are the best of the best albums I have EVER hear!
nice brave murder day is a classic album so its great to hear them play murder from the album. do they also play the song murder live? or funerals to come?
whooah, Katatonia come again to POland !

I think he doesn't growl anymore because he saw himself forced to stop off doing it few years ago, it really hurted his voice.

wrong
growling doesnt hurt one's voice when he knows how,and i bet he does know.

IMO, when Dan first kicks in with the drums, thats the demo they shoulda played the whole song at, it felt more energetic. Then they slowed down.

Dance of December Souls > Mikeal Akerfeldt. Fukk Mikeal, Opeth's gay and so is Katatonia's sell-out "depressive rock."

It's Mikael Åkerfeldt you fucktard.
What do you listen to? 50 Cent and his "non-sellout" albums.
