Do Katatonia fans like My dying bride??...

scarlet tears · June 14th, 2005, 06:19 AM

Hello,newbie here

Just wondered, if anyone elts on here (fellow katatonia fans) also loved the dark, depressing,and heart wrenching sounds (and lyrics) of "my dying bride".what are YOUR thoughts on the band?

jptk · June 14th, 2005, 06:37 AM

hmm..well, I like some of their stuff, but i think they can be quite boring sometimes. I find they have some great parts in a lot of there songs but then it just gets boring and carries on for 10 minutes! just my opinion

Erik · June 14th, 2005, 06:42 AM

I LOVE everything that was released prior to "Turn Loose the Swans"... The rest I generally find boring

Cerulean · June 14th, 2005, 06:46 AM

34.788% Complete is a fantastic album and I might get flamed now.

Silent paragon · June 14th, 2005, 07:03 AM

I have one My dying bride album. Its called The Dreadful Hours and I really like listening to it when I’m going to sleep. I don't find it that depressing but there is that similarity between the two bands.

AlexGuinness · June 14th, 2005, 07:20 AM

Love them both.

I love the first track on that album. The whore the cook and the mother i think its called

Anth · June 14th, 2005, 08:12 AM

Yes!!!, for me both Katatonia and MDB come from the great age of doom metal in 90's...

Cerulean · June 14th, 2005, 09:08 AM

But nothing comes close to the king of all doom metal albums Pentecost III

°scarlet° · June 14th, 2005, 09:18 AM

yes, i love them!
somehow i've neglected their work after "the light at the end of the world" (worth buying alone for "she is the dark"

in my opinion ) but i do own all the albums prior to it and like them all /with the possible exception of some songs/.
and i agree with cerulean about the "34.788%... complete" being a great piece of work - criminally, criminally underrated ! ! !

Falconspirit · June 14th, 2005, 01:29 PM

I agree with everyone around, they really have some great tunes but they can also be a bit boring at times.
I didn't check their latest release though, I heard it wasn't that good.

Especially, "Sear me" from ATFW and the title track from the Symphonaire EP are timeless!

Deliverance6 · June 14th, 2005, 03:20 PM

I cant say that I have ever given them too much of a chance.....I have never been impressed with them.....but that doesnt mean much......since I never have really given them more than a 10 minute listen at a time.......so I guess you could say that NO I am not a fan.....

LoboUivante · June 14th, 2005, 04:18 PM

i used to listen to MDB on my beginning to doom, since then, i guess i've evolved... they are not that appealing no more.

tix · June 14th, 2005, 04:54 PM

luv MDB!

Luz · June 14th, 2005, 09:06 PM

Of course I fucking like My Dying Bride.

shadowNINE · June 14th, 2005, 09:13 PM

I definitely like My Dying Bride. My favorites are probably Turn Loose the Swans and The Light at the End of the World, though I like all of their albums (including the three early EP's and 34.788%...Complete)...although I've not heard much of As the Flower Withers and I haven't picked up their latest album just yet. I believe they were the first doom band I heard.

I worship them since the beginning. And Aaron's live performances ar just amazing and ....really disturbing.

Her own Pride · June 15th, 2005, 07:19 AM

I used to like them a lot, but only some work of theirs stands out..

thing is that bride has been dying for a long time, and i think she may be dead now

Illnath · June 15th, 2005, 08:28 AM

I think they are okay, however i am very dissapointed with their new album

I just don't like it

insidethefall · June 15th, 2005, 11:05 AM

MDB is still one of my favorite bands (probably for about a decade now) I love almost all of their stuff, the % album was their true weak spot - although even that one had a couple of amazing songs. A lot of the newer stuff takes some patience, but in the end I find it enjoyable. There is a great atmosphere running through the last album, even if the songwriting is a bit tired. Stellar band that I have yet to see live

The Bleak Aether · June 15th, 2005, 12:34 PM

to be honest My Dying Bride introduced me a bit to this depressing music thing....i love them..i have some of their albums...and they get better and better....The Dreadful Shadows is kicking ass
