I always thought of a way I could put my finger on Katatonia...and I think I've nailed it. As soon as the vocals start, I think of them as being a strange hybrid between Opeth and the Deftones :D
Both wonderful bands, but still katatonia is in a league of its own
I was first turned on to Katatonia in the mid 1990's when I lived in Europe. Their music has stayed with me up until this point and we remain with me after. Each album has its own uniqueness and nuances that make me fall in love with the band all over again. From growls to melodies few bands go where Katatonia goes and I like it better that way. My favorite Katatonia song is... every one of them. Feanor940's comment 4months ago is the best I have heard, "This riff burns my soul"...
@cyberbehrens Yeah my introduction to them was "Day is The New Night", my original first impression was wow, this is the closest thing to Opeth's Damnation. I immediately ordered "The Great Cold Distance" which I also enjoyed a lot. Yesterday I just received "Last Fair Deal Gone Down", "Tonight's Decision" and "Viva Emptiness". I've given then all a quick listen and I'm really pleased, I'll probably end up getting them all, although I'm old the first 2 are much more death then these ones.
@yeledemeouave Ha no shit I'm the exact same! My older sister used to always have this thumping out of her stereo..I had no choice but to listen but have been ever since :)
i remember listening to this song more than 5 years ago... when i was still a kid... so many memories... so many dreams that have been forgotten... Thank you Katatonia for keeping companionship to my childhood memories...
This is one of the best Katatonia songs ever composed. The starting chords have the power to turn the sky blue to grey. They are so simple and so intense.
There is not better starting song to an album than this. Thanks Kata.
I've just recently been listening to more and more Katatonia. I've known about them for a while but only listened to Brave Murder Day which is a phenomenal album. Just finished Viva Emptiness and moving onto this album. They're really great :D
I never understood the point of living a life of suffering from the feeling of something that you once had but now it has been taken away, or something that you wanted but could never get. It is sad to see that dispossession has now become my obsession...
I like the way you talked about it! It is so sad but i think that is a feeling that everyone in this world have. Everyone feeled that way at least one time in their lifes.
Don't you think that the feeling of pain because of disposession is because of envy and selfishness? "If I can't have it no one else can" We must try to overcome this.
amazing song from an amazing album

Katatonia is awesome. Great song. I'm thinking of covering either this or Complicity acoustically for my high school talent show.
