@Cerulean: Yeah man... you got it to the point! *g* For me, there's nothing like Katatonia and will never be ... *sigh* But... weren't there thousands of similar threads in the past?
well, there's nothing like katatonia indeed. their melodies, creativity and sadness can't be found anywhere. don't forget the fact that they are from sweden. and they've got that special sound only found in that place. but there are a lot of bands that use clean vox and hard guitars. you can try the following bands-albums: moonspell - sin pecado paradise lost - paradise lost on thorns i lay - egocentric sentenced - the cold white light most people would also recommend you the band "porcupine tree". in my opinion this does not sound like katatonia, but it's cool anyway... @cerulean: HAHAHAHAAHA!
Check out Lost in tears latest album..it has some very Katatonia inspired music..not in the vocals though
I'm gonna start a modern Katatonia rip-off band so I can always recommend mine in threads like these.
Rapture - Songs For The Withering These guys remind me of Katatonia. Throw in some Death Vocals and a little Doomier sound and you get Rapture. They're worth checking out if you haven't already.
October Tide, Rapture, and Daylight Dies (particularly their first EP, Idle). All are quality and are Katatonia-influenced, yet they all have a sound of their own.
CARDAMON, female vocals (not soprano, but 'normal'), but musically Katatonia-influenced. www.cardamon.nl www.download.com/cardamon www.audiostreet.net/cardamon Direct link to mp3: http://www.neproadie.nl/cardamon/CARDAMON%20-%20Sleepless%20World.mp3
Not bad but there's something wrong with it, can't really find out what it is. Guitars are a bit over the top anyway in some parts. Vocals ain't my thing but that's not badly done I guess.
Thanx for the suggestionos gys...also did anyoe hear.......Katatonia is almost done with thier mew album....cant ewait..........PEAC EOUT
our latest review compared us to Katatonia, but we do have a female singer http://www.metalreview.com/viewreview.aspx?ID=1739 www.myspace.com/dreamsanddread
agalloch, forest of shadows, old lacrimas profundere feeling resembles some old katatonia, although they are even sadder , what's the name of the rapture's members main band? paradise lost, provenance.. etc
I thought Rapture was the main band?? I know one (or more) of the guys are in a band called rain paint. Check them out they are really good
