    Release date for the U.S.?

    That's the fucking weirdest thing I've ever heard. First of all, Katatonia is hardly even metal anymore so I don't know why that would matter. Katatonia would probably appeal to plenty of the "posers" you are talking about. Second, there are plenty of metalheads here. They are just spread...

    The Great Cold Distance Review

    Any great album needs to be listened to at least a few times to be appreciated. I've learned not to place much value on my first impression of an album, because most of my favorites are the ones that i actually disliked at first, and did not like until I heard it 5 or 10 times. And a lot of...

    The Great Cold Distance Review

    If everyone who downloaded the albums ended up buying them the bands would not be upset. If you have to download the album no one can stop you, just make sure you buy it when it comes out. That said, I would never want to downlaod it first. I know Katatonia will not disappoint me. There...

    New to Katatonia

    Sweden, and the surrounding countries, get very little sunlight during much of the year. I have heard that there is an extremely high suicide rate in this part of the world, no doubt partially due to the lack of sunlight, which could make many people feel a bit depressed. Similar thing in...

    the only reason why katatonia won't ever be chart breakers...

    Well, I only joined this forum two days ago so I didn't know about that...but thanks for calling it to my attention. Both my emails are sent. :rock:

    the only reason why katatonia won't ever be chart breakers...

    I wouldn't worry about it too much...PT has been going for way longer and are just starting to get some recognition, and all their albums have been fantastic! Katatonia is not THAT obscure compared to a lot of metal bands that work their ass off just as hard and make just as good (if less...

    Logo or NO logo for The Great Cold Distance?

    hahaha I never looked at it that way. He's like trying to get away from the flying OLD KATATONIA LOGO but the wall is in the way so he just covers his face like, KATATONIA SUCK!

    What about an acoustic album?

    The only way I would want this is if it was an acoustic gig released on cd. Don't get me wrong, I thought damnation was ok...but I don't find myself listening to it very much at all, it's not the opeth that i want to hear even though it's good music. Why release an album that removes...

    sorry for the huge white space.

    Logo or NO logo for The Great Cold Distance?

    I think if the logo was to be used at all it would have to be black...the white is too much of a contrast when you use the old logo and takes away from the overall tone of the artwork. Personally I think I like the way Katatonia have done it...but I hope to see the logo on any shirts they...

    the only reason why katatonia won't ever be chart breakers...

    I agree with what you said about bands getting big...but I don't think it works out that way if kids start going to Katatonia shows instead of Linkin Park. They won't model their new bands off of the creative and genuine work ethic...this is how it really happens: a bunch of copycat bands start...
