An Introduction Into Katatonia...

Have you ever felt sorrow?

Have you ever felt the expression of muted pain?

Katatonia is one of those bands that absolutely embody the thought of sorrow and pain. I have honestly never heard a band touch on the depth of sensation like they do. I remember the very first time I ever heard one of their songs, it was called "My Twin" Off the Album "A Great Cold Distance" (2006) The words especially... "Are you strong when you're with him The one who's placed you above us all"

Those words hit me like a ton of bricks, I couldn't believe I was hearing words that applied to my own life and tragic circumstances. It blew me away, then you have the most dashing, heart wrenching lyrics from the song. "Evidence" Off the album. " Live Consternation" (2007)...

"We're going in my voice is thin When I tell you to remember That no one will find you My promise from the heart If we part my pulse will guide you through"

Their entire body of work is this amazing, touching deeply emotional journey. You can feel it in the way that they deliver the music, The band is arranged currently as..

Jonas Renkse – vocals, guitar (1991–1994, 1996–present)

Anders Nyström – guitar, backing vocals (1991–1994, 1996–present)

Roger Öjersson – guitar (2016–present)

Niklas Sandin – bass (2009–present)

Daniel Moilanen – drums (2015–present)

Their latest album is called "Fall Of Hearts" (2016) Smooth, Blissfully drenched in absolute mournfullness. It reaches inside you and pulls everything you've ever felt and makes you look it right in the face. It is a band that I recommend for all kinds of people from strong metal heads all the way to rock lovers. Their sound transends the normal listening experience.
