Is that about right Stefan?

Dynamics!!

[Luce]

it really doesn't matter how it should be ...i only think that i want to see them live after so long i was never been lucky in all those years of faithfull listening *crying*

[Migs]

but they're coming every time to italy, man!
I'm from Rome, and i've seen them in 2003 (Rome, ghost of spring tour), 2006 (Treviso) , 2008 (Bologna)

The chances are always there!

[Godswil]

damn... where is the album? =[]

[Luce]

ah i was joking last time that they were came in here was in bologna in febrary 2007 i think..=_= yes but if you read my post you will be able to understand that from my 18 years old they were came in here probably 3 times...

[Sdob]

We need some more details on this please!
It would be nice to hear from Blakkheim.

Well they have never come here. One day....... I'll take out a huge bank loan, and pay for them to come here. Then declare bankruptcy.

I don't think there's a lot to tell, except that they're working on it and it should be out in 2009.

Just saw an interview with Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree, for those who don't know) and he said he's been in talks with Katatonia about producing their new album.

Magnificent news, if you ask me.

Ps. Hope this hasn't been mentioned here earlier.

[stefan86]

People have been wishing for it, but I didn't know there was any substance to it 'til now

[Belligerent]

SW + Katatonia will = brillliance

So is this interview online or...?

[Kirkfjell]

Oh yes it is.

Filmed in Lisbon, Portugal on 7th October.

Let's pray this collaboration becomes a reality.

Cheers me mates.

[GodAm]

oh dear god.
Thanks for the link to the interview.

[Phoenix5]

NO!


Let them keep doing what they've been doing. It's seemed to work so far...

[stefan86]

Great interview, laughed at a little at the Tool thing

[Charon8]

I don't know... I'm more with D3v on this, I like Katatonia's progression as is. I'm not saying it wouldn't work with SW, just maybe on the NEXT next record.

@ stefan - Now I think SW working w/ Tool would be fantastic. I disagree with the "one-dimensional" line but I think that a collaboration of the two would be very promising. Too bad Maynard and Co. would probably never consider it since they seem to only work amongst themselves. But that's what makes them Tool afterall.

[OminousInane]

Things are getting very interesting now. Never thought this would actually come about but he sounded like it was something that could very likely happen. This next record is going to be great.

[Ozzloaf]

I'd love to hear Steven Wilson produce a Katatonia record! But Tool... errr... I can't see it. Tool has always sort of been in their own, weird world. I doubt that they'd ever let someone come in and produce their album.

I just thought it was cool how he actually thinks of bands that way; like "hmm I could really do something with this band". And I kinda agree that they are one dimensional. They're one of those bands where I listen to a few songs now and then and really love it, but it never works full time so to speak.

[GodAm]

I will never understand why Tool is viewed with such reverence. Mr. Wilson would surely be a great improvement.
It would be interesting to see what he could do with Katatonia. I like their last albums, especially TGCD, but it doesn't hurt to try something new. I can appreciate experimentation.

TGCD dynamics?

Its has two levels - soft/ambient soundscapes and megaphadt hardhitting mesa boogie with triggersounding (if they really are triggered, I dont care, they sure as hell sound triggered) drums, I'd rather see a whole gradiant of dynamics, as found on LFDGD. And yes, all chuggin' gone please. This being said TGCD has some good songs (Journey True Pressure, Rusted, July, My Twin)

[stefan86]

yeah, the heaviness from TD/LFDGD is definitely preferrable to the ultra downtuned chugging.
