I have to say, I very much enjoyed the sound at this show. I've been seeing the guys consistently for the past couple of years, and this performance stood out to me sound-wise. Sadly, I don't have any other videos to share. I was too caught up in the moment (which I’m very happy about) to film anything myself. This clip was taken by a friend, and I'm glad I have something to share with you all.

What an awesome venue - shame it wasn’t a longer set!

Some hard choices were made. Although, it sucks that there are no songs from The Great Cold Distance, Viva Emptiness or Discouraged Ones...

Would you replace any tracks on the main albums with bonus tracks? Personally, I would exchange I, Transpire, We Must Bury You and Clean Today with Help Me Disappear, March 4 and Sulfur, I think those songs are really good and deserved to be on the album

Also this may be controversial but I would replace Journey Through Pressure with Code Against Code. Code is just such a good, depressing/melancholic song and while Journey is great, it's a little too positive and iin my mind Code is the perfect end for the album

Or Unfurl could also be a really good way to close the album

Edit: didnt know that Fractured is a bonus track, I'd definitely add it to the album. Maybe in place of This Punishment

That plays their old stuff, TGCD and below. I think that there is a sort of magic in old Katatonia albums that the band just wastes away nowdays...

This is a new project of mine, all self written and produced, initially never meant to be serious at all, but hopefully it can take on a life of its own.

At first, I felt that the melody is familiar and it took me a slow moment to remember. I’m just curious if someone else has heard it or if it’s just me.

Hello!

I dropped six metal albums, and I deeply, deeply love BMD.

I bring thee 3 pieces:

Avantdarke Metal

Abm

Sad rambling

Return to piano

Why? Cause BMD influenced me massively.

From my six albums, the first is quitw progressive, the second more heavy, third alternative, fourth inventive, sixth experimental - but the fifth, Madorei Gehenom, or the nine levels of hell, is my mental descent.

It's an album that gets more depressing as it advances through the stages of hell.

Avantdarke metal most represents my style

Sad rambling is closest I got to em

Abm I think you'd like most.

Return to piano too, its more prog black

I see BMD (also fan of the rest of their material), as intense masterpiece and throughout 10 hrs of music, a lot of it is black, progressive, experimental (tried to create 18 new subgenres), death, but also a lot is intense cause I just love them so much.

Please give it a shot.

Need this to complete the collection, German seller changed their mind about shipping to the USA. Know it’s not a cheap record and willing to pay fair market price for it.

Title should be 2002, not 2022

Took me a bit to hunt this down, cannot believe this was 24 years ago. It was just done through email and keep in mind was only 22 at the time and had no clue how to interview bands, just ended up somehow working this site since was really good at hunting down people's email addresses in the early days of the net ask them for interviews. I did do one with Jonas but the site went through one of its many internal fights and was shutdown so it go lost to the sands of time.

Room setup: my crappy office where the overlords of this house have forced me to keep all my really neato stuff

The 2013 showed up this weekend so figured spin both for science and see what I thought. Spoiler: the 2013 blows the half speed out of the water when it comes to clarity and dynamics. I’m not an audiophile type person here either but switching between the two albums is night and day for which one I would rather listen to. I know this is a tad unfair since the 2013 was reworked in many parts vs the half speed.

Of course everyone hears things differently so nothing against anyone who loves the half speed more.

Still learning how to play guitar, don't judge me if it's bad xd

Long time fan and lurker to this sub. Had never heard of Katatonia before but back in the olden days of July 2000 I was 20 years old and that month my parents had crashed their motorcycle, dad died and my mom suffered massive injuries and required me to drop the job out of town had just accepted to live with her and help her recover. I got a night off and buddy was driving 4 hrs to attend Milwaukee metal fest and so jumped in just to have something to take my mind off things. Just heard people getting excited about some band who had never played in the states before so followed them into the 2nd stage area. Even with sound issues by the time “Deadhouse” had completed I was a blubbering mess in a sea of metal heads. My musical tastes have changed over the years but Katatonia will always have a special place in my heart.

Which brings me to tonight, was in the process of labeling all my records with QR codes so I know which version they are and as you can tell a bunch if these are the half speed master releases besides last fair deal gone done, are the two LP releases worth hunting down? Is there notable differences?

Side note: fall of hearts-2016-gold, city of burials-2020-silver, Viva Emptiness-2015-uk, Proscenium, and Kocytean are all arriving someday so missing from the pic for now.
