	BNR Metal Pages -- Katatonia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Katatonia have come a long way since the slow, sorrowful doomdeath sounds of Dance Of December Souls.
		Like others in the doomdeath field, the progression has been toward clean vocals and a less heavyhanded (though still metallic) songwriting style, with the new material such as Tonight's Decision and Last Fair Deal Gone Down bordering on alternative metal (albeit a darker, heavier version) at times.
		What increasingly sets this band apart from others is the guitar work, a melancholy yet quite tuneful style that is distinctive, interesting, and unique.

	Katatonia: Melancholic Atmospheric Metal/Rock
		Katatonia have condensed their ideas and have utilized the "less is more" approach.
		The basic design of this track is quintessential modern-era Katatonia, displaying the identifiable trademarks that have come to define the band’s sound and approach during the course of their development.
		Related to recent material while offering slight hints of further exploration of rhythmic structure, this EP suggests that Katatonia are quite far from a fade away in effectiveness, and equally far from distancing themselves from the darkness that shapes their worldview.

	katatonia Mp3 Albums Review
		Katatonia are, without a doubt, one of the best and most original of modern rock bands, albeit with a dark, morose, heavy almost Cure-like atmosphere about them which has kept them from gaining the mainstream attention that they deserve.
		Katatonia has always been about creating some of the most depressing and thought provoking music released, but unlike their modern stance - which is in the same genre as early Mogwai and Anathema - their earlier years were full of head on fl metal magic with a strong and palpable doom sound.
		katatonia is kinda like opeth when your a new listener their kinda hard to digest when listing too, but when their music crawls inside your brain your hooked and theres no letting go.

	Katatonia Biography/Discography
		Realising that Katatonia were perfect for their roster of highly original acts, the label offered the band a long-term deal, spanning five albums.
		Maybe this is due to the fact that Katatonia produced the album themselves; maybe it’s the persuasive use of light and dark, used to illustrate perfectly the emotional gravitas of the songs, either way this is the album that will make the whole world sit up and listen.
		Katatonia’s guitarist, Anders Nyström explains — “Help Me Disappear’ was originally supposed to be featured on the Tonight's Decision album, a song we felt strongly about at composing stages, but unfortunately the song never got finished in the studio and was left aside without vocals and mixdown.

	Doom-metal.com: Reviews - Katatonia
		The monotone or numb sound Katatonia is known for is present on this album, but all in all it is more a dark and sickening sound that defines this album.
		The production is still underground and it could be better, especially the drums sound a bit too weak and clinical at times (some people mistakedly believe that they used a drum computer on this album...), but from the other side, it contributes to the general feeling of "numbness" and apathy that this album breaths.
		Katatonia were involved with the production of this EP and they did a great job.

	Katatonia - 'Viva Emptiness' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground]
		Katatonia, in their 13 year career, have stripped all the heaviness of their metal persona, except the one at their core.
		It is hard to explain, but even though Katatonia may have shed their metal music, they still kept the metal "feeling" in their music.
		Katatonia have put their time in and have transcended all the confining characteristics of the metal genre.

	Katatonia Reviews at Lunar Hypnosis
		Katatonia, being Swedish, happens to also be good friends with Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt, and this allows for Katatonia to use his growls as the main vocals on this album.
		Katatonia is another really awesome band from Sweden, but before you jump to any conclusions as to what sort of music they play let me just say right now it's not the normal Sweden metal sound.
		Katatonia is just one of those bands that no matter what they do you just know your going to adore it.

		Katatonia formed in 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden and was brought together by long time friends, Anders Nyström (aka Blakkheim) and Jonas Renkse (aka Lord Seth).
		The reaction to the new sound was just what Katatonia needed to hear, encouraged and driven by the ever growing quest for progression, they pushed the boundaries even further and set about re-entering Unisound in early 1994 to record the classic 10 minute goth epic Scarlet Heavens.
		Maybe this was due to the fact that Katatonia produced the album themselves over a vast period of time; maybe it was the persuasive use of light and dark, used to illustrate perfectly the emotional gravitas of the songs, either way this was the album that made the whole world sit up and listen.

	Katatonia - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Katatonia may not be as familiar as the leaders of the "atmospheric fl metal bands" (that little ring that includes Rotting Christ, Alastis, Opeth, Samael, among others), but you can tell that they're onto something with this album.
		Katatonia somehow captured a true sense of desparation and despair without resorting to any sort of gimmicky goth brooding or overtly forced dramaticism.
		Katatonia seems to realize this and are tailoring their songs to work around his melodies.

		Katatonia was never one to shy away from referencing artists outside the little world in which they reside — in fact, when the band was still make-up clad, guitarist Anders Nyström unashamedly mentioned The Cure and Joy Division in interviews.
		Opening track, “Dispossession,” is a massive wave of traditional Katatonia craftsmanship, showcasing guitarists Nyström and Norrman’s ability to effortlessly shift jaw-dropping melodic work with quiet sustain to such an extent that the movements fluidly transcend from one to other.
		Furthermore, a track such as this only proves that Katatonia are, indeed, moving their songwriting out of the underground, which has for the last 10 years embraced them.

		Katatonia however, are unceremonious: their music brings the smell of dampness, decay and death out of the speakers and into your nostrils.
		It would be best to think of Katatonia in two phases: their earlier doom-death period with albums like Dance of December Souls and Brave Murder Day as well as several EPs, and their more recent starting with the release of Discouraged Ones.
		First heard Katatonia in late 97 after this came out in the U.S. for the first time shortly after I first heard Opeth, and wanted it cause it had Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth, also Bloodbath) contributing the death vocals to go with Jonas doing clean vocals for the first time.

		Katatonia stated earlier on that their new studio album would be heavier and more guitar driven than their previous couple of releases.
		Katatonia has always been one of the most unique and important Swedish metal bands ever since they released their mini album "Jhva Elohim Meth..
		The wonderful clean vocals by Jonas Renkse are as beautifully sad as usual and he is definitely one of the most important assets of the band.

	Katatonia
		From their misanthropic dark beginnings to their recent melancholic pop structured music, Katatonia has in some way stayed with a consistent formula of depression, melancholia, desperation and desolation.
		After their 1996 milestone "Brave Murder Day" Katatonia embarked on another approach to their sound, cutting out the death vocals and replacing them with a clean melodic vocal style and shortening their songs to an almost pop structure.
		Surprisingly this song seems to be somewhat "epic" reminding me of their earlier days (although it's clearly new Katatonia.) A very lengthy song, heavy atmosphere and a nice moving chorus.

		Sweden's Katatonia have certainly been shifting their musical direction since they arrived on the map with their debut, "Dance of December Souls." Even with their follow-up, "Brave Murder Day," it was obvious that Katatonia were slowly transforming into a greater entity.
		Now, six albums into their game, Katatonia has released their most recent album, "Viva Emptiness," which is a solid trek into yet another area that Katatonia will interpret, process, and conquer.
		That was where Katatonia are most comfortable, as the truly dark, melancholic, and emotional 'One Year From Now' and 'Inside The City of Glass' — songs that are most reminiscent of what has gone missing in action — clearly show.

	Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance - review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Katatonia are, with Tiamat, one of Sweden’s leading doom metal bands.
		I’m not here to discuss whether or not the change in Katatonia’s orientation is a good thing, but it may raise certain questions, to which I have no answer.
		Now don’t get me wrong, the elements of the ‘new’ Katatonia are still there, the monotonous spoken voice, the constant echoes, the slow drums and wawa guitars, doom chords and what I call the “little something from Sweden”, in the album’s atmosphere.

		What Katatonia is about is us channeling all of the negativity within us into it.
		We channel everything out of Katatonia because that is where we connect on a musical level the most.
		And for people in the metal scene interested in the influential bands that Katatonia listened to over the years would be of course The Cure, Fields of the Nephilim, Slowdive, etc., etc.

		Not that that is the case here, but it really is a bummer, when you slowly get lost in songs like “Leaders,” “Deliberation,” and “Rusted” where a somber and moody melody creeps up your spine while dense guitar riffs wrap your eardrums only to be abruptly interrupted.
		Luckily for the listener, Katatonia does not overload each track with unnecessary grimness and the beautiful rhythms that embellish each track make of the record a sulfur-scented passing wind.
		Katatonia counter balances much of the dark lyrical aspects of the record with a quick verse-chorus-verse MO (that’s ‘modus operandi’ for the ignoramus) and a direct guitar tone that speaks and relates directly into the ears of the listener.

	Encyclopaedia Metallum - Reviews for Katatonia (Swe) - Tonight's Decision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Katatonia succeeded in what they were trying to do most likely.
		They have continued with a tight two guitar distorted attack which gives Katatonia an incredible wall of sound for this release as they did on Discouraged Ones which is the basis for their sound on this album as well.
		Katatonia's lead guitar melodies are still ever so present and irresistably memorable yet lack the bite of rival guitarists including Gregor Mackintosh(Paradise Lost).

	Katatonia Syndrome --- a l b u m s
		However some critics have an opinion that Katatonia pursued one goal on their debut CD - to imitate the sound of popular at that time bands Tiamat and Paradise Lost.
		Katatonia turned down growling and emphasized guitar ruses (Sunlight Studio added garage sound to them, and this only strengthened depression and melancholy).
		So, Katatonia wasn't scared and continued their experiments that shaped in a year in recording their 4th full-length creation "Tonight's Decision".

		Katatonia recently played three dates in England, Belgium and Holland [CoC #52] with all four of the other bands that were signed to Peaceville at the time (Akercocke have also joined the label since then).
