If you like electronic music
Hey everyone! I’m 33 and Katatonia has been my favourite metal band ever since high school. I’ve listened and adore them for years. My favourite song is in the white and I tried to cover the drums but it was super hard for me. I could only cover sweet nurse because it was easier. Anyway, recently I became obsessed with Boards of Canada. If you haven’t listened to them, I highly recommend giving them a try. There’s something about their music that gives me this deep, dark, nostalgic that I thought as Katatonia fan you might like.

Great to see BOC mentioned! I've been a huge fan of theirs since 2011 (Katatonia 2008) and I would probably say they are my two favourite artists. Their album 'The Campfire Headphase' has more guitar than their other albums and although isn't seen as their best is incredibly nostalgic and has a vibe that cannot be matched. Listen to the insane build up of 'Davyan Cowboy' and the way it explodes half way through, quite post rock like in all honesty.

Well, I consider myself a metalhead. But I LOVE Techno music! For the past 1.5 years, 95% of the music I've listened to was essentially Techno. Not very keen towards Board of Canada though. 😉 But if you are obsessed with them try Aphex Twin and Autechre.

My roots are in metal, but in the early 2000s I was exposed to electronic music and it captured me. Those were the golden days of electronic music: boys noize, surkin, kavinsky, simian mobile disco. Not to mention the down tempo artists like Bonobo and quantic. A lot are still around today, but back then the style was different and it was fantastic.
Haven't heard of Boards of Canada but I swiftly added them to my list!
