[TheOlympus]

There is no snow animation for this video.

[PinkSkiiTtLeZzYoanNa]

the solo is so eargasmic

[C20H25N3Ofya]

I googled "Katatonia sucks" and Google was like you gotta be fuckin kidding me.

[Elembivos]

@NightIsTheNewDayK My comment, it was sarcasm.

[MantaRay8912]

@NightIsTheNewDayK You're wrong. it is Position is a drug. Clearly sang in the song lol. Don't mean any disrespect. but it's Position is a drug :)

[9rmetal]

forsaker

[AntwonTagzFilms]

This band/song was an Easter Egg in Skyrim!

[Evilll666]

@AntwonTagzFilms True, dude. That proves Bethesda's developers listen to quality music.

[twinklyturtles]

@AntwonTagzFilms damn it! i came here to post that

[ballrogxbeast]

@AntwonTagzFilms Can you explain me how? Thanks!

[Evilll666]

If you follow the Thieves Guild questline until the Nightingale quests pop up, you are supposed to bring the Skeleton Key to a room. On your way (Pilgrim's Path/Twilight Sepulcher) to that room there will be two skeletons named "Anders" and "Nystrom". There's also a journal that refers to Katatonia (Nystrom's Journal).

[ballrogxbeast]

@Evilll666 Thanks, bro!

[lucarloro2]

@AntwonTagzFilms what? where can i find the easter egg?

[lucibit]

Can't wait to see you guys in Copenhagen on the 16th!

[Tie4821]

Early Katatonia - amazing

This - commercial shit

[MasakoXer]

@Tie4821

lmao, Katatonia commercial...that's funny.

That's like saying fucking swallow the sun is going commercial just cuz they are coming out with a new album.

No one knows of katatonia anywhere except here.

[Elembivos]

@Tie4821 470k views over the 3 years this video has been on this site, which just so happens to get over 1 billion hits every single day. So mainstream.

[johnbad1000]

@NightIsTheNewDayK i definitely will bro

[1999luked]

WHO DISLIKED THIS?!

[SickDrummer2438]

Heard these guys at the Opeth San Diego concert in October. This song caught my attention a bit back at the concert so I looked it up again, After hearing it like 10 more times, this is fucking incredible.

[zafoulis]

opeth-like right?

[Aqualung2012]

Chicago... with Opeth... TONIGHT! (completely no growl set unfortunately, but will still be amazing.)

[Incineratethemartyrs]

Im seeing these guys tonight with Opeth! Can i get a hell yeah?

[crazya7xman]

@Incineratethemartyrs Hell yeah! I saw them with Opeth last month and it was AMAZING!

[ahmad16512]

SO GREAT SOLO GREAT AND GREAT ANDMORE THAN THAT

[Womboman8]

@Incineratethemartyrs Hell Yeah 

[swimmerforlife789]

@Incineratethemartyrs 2 months ago, but I don't care! HELL YEAH! Katatonia put on a great show.

[TumshieX]

@Incineratethemartyrs Hell Yeah! :)

A little late, but whatever :P

[cocomayor]

@Incineratethemartyrs S o a B

[jamtomy]

when the video?

[DeeperDownBurried]

@jamtomy Never. Katatonia is not a video-band. Go watch bullet if ya want "dark" videos. Cheers

[emann43]

Saw em last night...was extremely impressed. Their performance was a lot deeper than the album suggests it could be. Only one song I wasn't familiar with, and the crowd was really getting into it...amazing show with Opeth.

[xxdanxexx]

It took some getting use to, but this is now a top 3 katatonia album for me. I hope to hear more like this from them in the future. Maybe Scion will throw 10grand at them to make an EP. I would love to have more.

[TheTruckdr]

Saw them in Kansas City. Rocked better than Opeth IMHO!

[abltfoster]

I was at the AMAZING Opeth concert in Columbus and Katatonia was an amazing opening band!! I just started listening to them! I love it! \m/

[bodomtopps]

@abltfoster i saw opeth with katatonia in orlando... they are fuckin beast!

not as good as opeth in my opinion but they are still fuckin awasome!

[The61616112]

28 Tools one to many

[EDKsurly]

What is the album art meaning? Love this cd.

[The61616112]

I think of fireflies when I listen to this song, amazing atmospheres in the chilling dark song

[Icancount47q]

Just heard this live twice in a row in New York, it was the most epic beautiful fucking thing ever

[futuredeath]

@Icancount47q Hell yeah I was there! they were so great!

[phobosforever]

Both my ears started shagging to this !!

[xxRedXHunterxx]

How the fuck do you NOT like this?!

[TakeOnNE1]

I'm not sure if I like This album cover more, or WCAR's.

[TakeOnNE1]

@reyleon73 You are right. They are fAr above it.

[vjlehtonen]

Pure Love :)))

[IeGamerNo1]

The dark will rise

Abandon your freedom

Yahhhh\m/

[12321Walrus]

@reyleon73 PL? And this song is God damn fantastic

[sandtr00per]

whats that picture .. album cover ? looks great :)

[12321Walrus]

@sandtr00per Yeah its the cover to their newest album. I think its sexy as well

[ZIDBULA]

oh shit!

these guys are a guest with Opeth!!!!

this should be fun.

[devilstarchrist]

The best metal song of all time.

[floribians]

This is music with spirit inside

[TheSwagganator]

I just discovered this band. Which album should I begin with?

[AssChavez]

@TheSwagganator

Thats difficult to answer cuz Katatonia has gone through quite a few changes over the years. Their first two albums were death metal. Considering your listening to forsaker, I'd stay away from those two for now. From their death phase they moved into a melodic doom style with a slight emo twist. They are now, still doom, but with a lot of beauty, harmoizing vocals and slightly more mainstream. Start with The Great Cold Distance and work back and forward at the same time.

[AssChavez]

@TheSwagganator

I would go:

1) Great Cold Distance

2) Viva Emptiness

3) Night is the New Day

4) Last Fair Deal Gone Down

5) Discouraged Ones

From here you still have 3 great albums. They are all good, so get em all!

[Cessate]

@AssChavez I agree with this almost fully. Though personally I'd switch Discouraged Ones with NitND, and replace Last Fair Deal with their '92 Revival EP.

[morbidguitar]

@TheSwagganator this one

[FiendJesterChaos]

The new Youtube player fits this so well

[lostexodus]

The first six seconds bring me shivers every time I hear it.. always reminds me of the day when the preordered copy of NitND arrived to my place and I started to listen to this...

[LarcherESP]

I am probably atleast 1000 of those plays.

[666Lucas666]

@LarcherESP same here!!!

[raven66614]

Beautiful....Simply magnificent *-*

Im new to Doom Metal, Anyone can tell me Good solid Doom bands ?



[Jesusvers02]

@raven66614

you might like 'swallow the sun' ;-)

[Neoxardas]

@raven66614 Try the second album of Katatonia for some "strong" doom, Draconian for some "goth" doom, Candlemass for some "oldschool" doom, and you could as well check Agalloch.

[jek21]

@raven66614 Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Yob, Boris, Crowbar, Melvins, Witchsorrow, Sleep, Velnias...

[Cessate]

@jek21 Lolwut? None of these bands sound even remotely like Katatonia. Vitus, Sleep, The Melvins, and Yob are still great though, but whole other genres. You may as well be recommending someone who wants bands similar to Aqua, a rapper like P.Diddy :p

[AssChavez]

@raven66614

Yes... Band (Album)

1) Swallow the Sun (Hope, New Moon, and Morning Never Came)

2) Draconian (The Burning Halo and Turning Seasons Within)

3) Funeral (From These Wounds)

4) Shape of Despair (Shape of...)

5) Ahab (Wretched Sea)

Swallow the Sun is amazing and so is Draconian. You cant go wrong with that funeral album. Start with those three bands, you will not be disapointed, I promise.

[Kariakas]

@AssChavez OK dude, I owe you one. I didn't know Funeral and your comment made me check them out. Can't thank you enough, From These Wounds is an awesome album, it's been in my car for over a month... Thanks for bringing it up!

[AssChavez]

@Kariakas

Well, you own funeral's masterpiece. Their other albums just don't amout to From These Wounds. Most doom metal has rather harsh vocals. If you like the doom style without the harsh vocals try the band virgin black. However, there were 2 doom metal bands i mentioned before that you still must check out: Draconian and Swallow the Sun. Katatonia is a one of a kind band. The only band I might compare them to is... gasp.. Tool or A Perfect Circle.

[TheMrAdax]

Apart from Opeth, this is one of the most stunning metal songs I've ever heard. Mature, Skilled and utterly beautifully dark.

[childxofxfate]

this song makes me feel alive i will play this song when the end of the world comes

[xxminaxx1]

for ALL those who LOVE katatonia TRY this BAND

---MonoKromiA---

[johnbad1000]

[2Eargasmik]

I won't clic like on the most liked comment cause he got 69 thumps up and when a listen this song that give me the same orgasm then a 69

[neltah9]

Damn I love this song...Best album of 2009.

[bob20202020]

To be honest I was disappointed with their later material, but then this album came out and it's the best of two worlds as well as their most colorful yet bleak release. And this song in particular gives me chills, the vocal harmonies could shatter worlds.

[MegaGypsyCaravan]

How to find fucking amazing bands the way i do..

You will need:

Spotify,

A Spotify Account.

Step 1: Open Spotify.

Step 2: Search for a band you know, in the same genre of what you're searching.

Step 3: Click the bands name.

Step 4: Click related artists, in the top right corner.

Step 5: Enjoy listening to fucking awesome bands you've never heard of, but wish you had ;)

[IRevenanTx]

i just found an absolutely awesome band

[UnforgivingVoid28]

awesome....

[27Dope]

Precision is a Drug

[debsterndallas]

who said "decapitated spheres of madness"...it remindsme of pablo francisco's routine about metal bands....his girlfriend saying, "oooohhh, dont you love this new song by Decomposure...it's Johnny Bloodclot from Decomposurrrrrre" lol

[toneage7]

@debsterndallas that was a great bit! I was him open with it live and nearly dieded laughing

[mauno76]

Nice song

[KellyDawn]

If I could take only one album with me on a space journey, this would be it without a doubt. And what a perfect opening song to hear as I float through the endless void of stars to an unknown destination.

[iamlienheart]

Thumbs Up If You Think That This Is Katatonia's Best Song.

[krauza69]

i really want to get that pic as a tattoo

[combusken007]

@krauza69 print the picture, sent it to a tattoo store and your done

[tinaanastasija]

the opening riff reminds of Decapitated's Spheres of Madness riff.

[2010magicboy]

nice! yes die about Freedom! but we do not have Freedom!

[caietdemuzica]

I feel like a flying soul each time I listen to this track. This song is the peak of what metal music can be. Once the perfection had been touched, the end is inevitable.

666 comments. woopdedoo. why do you see so many comments about that?

[joelism1989]

this music is gonna be timeless 50 years later from now it still will be epic

[theultimategod]

Awesome song. Sounds like a gothic doom metal band than anything else. but beautiful in a dark way. Katatonia just takes your breath away. Thanks for uploading.

Can you some how make a video with lyrics in the video(not in the description) of the same song?

[DrakeDarkHunter]

@theultimategod

Thank you for being one of the few people who seem to agree on their genre fitting that descrption. Too often their desrcibed as "Depressive Rock" (Not a real genre) "Dark Metal" (Actually a subform of Melodic Black Metal" or "Alternative Metal" (Perhaps, but this underplays their roots and connection to Doom and Gothic Metal)

I personally throw in Progressive Metal as well but that's more debatable.

Sorry for the weird genre nazi tangent...

[HellfireMichi]

Does anybody know what these lyrics are about?

[DrakeDarkHunter]

@HellfireMichi

Here's my interpretation.

The song is about the sacrifices of personal freedom and individuality we make during times of great conflict. An abuse of power within, a vague threat from beyond. These factors force a fearful public to fall in line and silence their inner dissent for the purpose of not weakening the greater whole. "Forget personal growth, or follwing your dreams. You are now a cog in the machine. It's the only way. Forsake whatever ideals you held to be true."

[HellfireMichi]

@DrakeDarkHunter

Good interpretation, I like it! I agree with you, this can be the right one ;)

[DissolvingTheBonds]

@DrakeDarkHunter

you said it dude!

[FromDimmuLand]

Thumbs Up if you Love this album !!! Just the Best Ever !!!

[choptop1218]

I'm fucking speechless. Somehow I missed the announcement of their new album so this is my first time listening to it and it Is Fucking Glorious.

[MyEmpiresDoom]

@choptop1218 That Katatonia is fucking awesome isn't it? I was like you; I hadn't heard anything about their new album. Then I stumbled upon some reviews that said "it's killer". I downloaded it (w/o even listening to any of the songs). Went to bed with headphones on and THIS is the first song I heard. Needless to say I was fucking BLOWN AWAY.

[choptop1218]

@MyEmpiresDoom I know right? I mean my last impression of Katatonia was The Great Cold Distance and Viva Emptiness and then first track off of this album..Fucking Bam! Awesome. They did a really great job composing, writing both melodic and heavy riffs together. A great album all around.

[TheAngelusSilesius]

finally the cd-version of this album is in my hands( a gift for my b-day :-) - I'm happy!!!

[ottomanmq]

0:00 is awesome

[AnimeGuy9]

That chorus...wow. The keyboards lift my spirits, but the riffs & lyrics drag it right back down. Well played.

@Ninjistic just make sure that your pop up blocker is turned off to replay the song correctly.

Or... you could go to YoutubeRepeat...

teleio,,!!!!!

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

@arhongr1 +fwnw

[PiErRe6363]

when i heard the first riff i said "Ho fuck they became a deathcore band!"

haha

[dinoman89]

@PiErRe6363 Deathcore or not- The intro fucking rocked! \m/

[WeAreTheBearHunters]

@dinoman89 Anyone who even uses the word deathcore in any relation to Katatonia is a moron. Breakdowns are not inherently bad, it's just that generic deathcore bands strive for them in place of solid songwriting. If we are to so narrowly call anything with groove a "breakdown", then kids, this song is how you do one properly.

[sio42]

@WeAreTheBearHunters well said

[lovejoyandflowers11]

19 people where unable to forsake their own stupidity.

[LordPopeyeAlphaDog]

Liked the first few seconds....Then sadness...

[darkreliquum]

poem i hope ou like it Mirrors on fire My images are opaque Wings of razor I bleed each time I reach for the sky I turned the sky into stone The altar of my anguish The stars my bleeding wrists Under their dust I spread my wings This constant pain Is keeping me discolored

[T3rminX]

Holy crap

I heard of Renske from his vocals on Ayreon's newest album.. I thought he was great there, but holy crap, he's great here too. This is a really great song :v

[tehSynh]

That song is a great piece of music. Sad only few will know about it...

[TheTrinidark]

katatonia el mejor grupo de doom metal que e escuchado

[TheARCANVM]

LA MEJOR KANCION DE KATATONIA... YKO NU MENSAJE DE PODER.. Y FUERZA...UNA RECHIMBA!!!! :D

[indieKook]

yeah we love katatonia & opeth ...

[TheSerpentLord714]

1:17-1:27 makes me want to leave my body.

[GutsandGlory45]

I love these guys for the fact that they don't need to be "rip your face off" heavy with the instruments to have an awesome song. Thats not their style but whe they do dial up the intruments abit more...like in this song...they sound even better. I think is actually the heaviest song from Katatonia. idk i only have this album. Katatonia is a Grade A band none the less tho

[MrselfDstruct9]

@GutsandGlory45 youve obviously never listened to old school katatonia. they were one of the best doom metal bands of the 90s, they used to sound nothing like this. Althought this is good in its own way, it doesn't compare to the classics. I suggest listening to the Brave Murder Day and Dance of December Souls albums. Although personally I prefer the Sounds of Decay EP the most.

[goatkiller665]

@MrselfDstruct9 I agree with you for the most part GutsandGlory45, however, aside from the fact that Katatonia have metamorphisized over the years, I truly believe Viva Emptiness and The Great Cold Distance to be their stand out releases....doom, death, or otherwise metal considered

[Mrcastleskeep]

Best rockband ever...that used to be gloom metal...that next to nobody has heard of....I REALLY love these guys though. I'm getting the new album ASAP.

[0defaced]

@thefreak013 6.....it's just the bass, at least live they did.

[slo77y]

unbelievable good production aswell....

[SariaChord0TouchWeb]

Damn it! I can not get this song out of my head. I'm mumbling it all day. Even if I used a butcher's knife to carve it out of my mind, it would remain. And I fucking love that.

[EmilFinnas94]

@thefreak013 Downtuned ones then I suppose...

[SariaChord0TouchWeb]

Never heard these guys before. Me Likes a lot.

[EmilFinnas94]

do they use a 8-string guitar or is it just the bass?

[M4n1Acal1]

hard to believe he is the bassist of bloodbath, he is multi talented, and he was the original drummer when Mike from Opeth was in here. He is good!

[1433414]

awesome song....
