Pretty much, Jonas' cleans are where it's at, and a few growls here are there like the screams would be ok, but that's it. That way it makes them much more powerful, and not overblown.

I would like the album be like something evidence and omerta stuff, the vocals on both of the songs are so warm and still depressive gets me chills every time. On the otherhand I wouldn't never want them to do new DoDS or BMD because I think they are about the best that kind of music that there is. One thing I'm missing on The Great Cold Distance is a slow song, or even mid tempo almost all the song have their "heavy metal touch" on them, not saying its bad but something like Omerta or A Darkness Coming, or unfurl etc..

Also I dont want to hear any harsh vocals in it, because Jonas' clean singing is just so godlike.

ps. I also like the Jonas' part on Hope really much :P

What do you call Journey Through Pressure tempo-wise?

Does this topic of "will there be growls?" Come up every time there is a new album in the works?

Bleak Eyes · August 13th, 2008, 08:00 PM

Seems like it.

BlueSky · August 13th, 2008, 08:58 PM

More like every other week. Someone should just sticky this topic already.

I hereby surrender my duties as a seasoned viola/violin player to Katatonia. Instrumental tapes of katatonia songs played on viola to come!!!

Sort of hope not. Doesn't sound good, but who knows, ofcourse. Done in the right way... Seems weird, though.

Edit: Maybe this is even a joke...

I meant like ballads or something similar, JTP is kinda doomish :P it's a great song tho

Phoenix5 · August 14th, 2008, 09:08 AM

Ahh, I see.

stefan86 · August 15th, 2008, 09:15 AM

JTP is the modern doom masterpiece. More songs like that.

Phoenix5 · August 15th, 2008, 01:23 PM

JTP is just straight sex.

stefan86 · August 16th, 2008, 05:20 AM

Maybe I'll ask me the magic question again; is it anything for me?

Vincent J. · August 16th, 2008, 06:11 AM

OI! The viola comment made me think.
That wóuld be cool. Some more orchestral-like songs featuring Cello and Viola/Violin for example
Those instruments are the best for emotional masterpieces

stefan86 · August 16th, 2008, 07:24 AM

Weird instrumentation can be fun as long as you dont go into avant garde mode I think

Vincent J. · August 16th, 2008, 07:38 AM

Hahah, could be also cool, but katatonia + avant garde = no go

the last lonely man · August 17th, 2008, 06:39 AM

ah, looks like ive been owned by the forum then...

Sorry to offend all the 'true' Katatonia heads out there, I hang my head in shame.
Just stating my opinion as a listener of all 3 great bands...

The next album will be great whatever they do with it, growls or not. Katatonia is always a band who deliver.

tagradh · August 17th, 2008, 06:08 PM

I think it would be cool if some of the songs had a more shoegazey/spacey feel to them. Kinda like the ambient bits in Mithras songs, I can imagine with a load of reverb/delay on them Jonas clean vocals could work brilliantly with music like that.
