It's very normal for a band to still keep the former band member(s) listed on their sites for awhile, even after the band member(s) depart, or make the decision to split. I see it happen this way all the time. The Gathering, Kamelot, Sybreed, among many others did the same with band members that...

Also a decent band to check out that's somewhat influenced by Katatonia is "MARBLE ARCH-Another Sunday Bright". It was released on Century Media maybe 5-7 years ago and was actually good! Not great, but good if you like darker rock. I think the band broke up after the one release though. NEW...

FlawedCoil82: You might also like Tiamat. Some of their albums have the growls though. But if you check out their cd's titled; "Prey", "Skeleton Skeletron", "Judas Christ", "A Deeper Kind of Slumber", those don't have any growls. Tiamat is like dark goth rock mixed with Pink Floyd.

One more thing I'd add is that it WOULD BE GREAT if Katatonia did just ONE MORE CONCERT with the current lineup of members and made a nice dvd for us to remember! One last encore with the Bros!

I don't mean to disrespect you here, but it's really not THAT bad. I understand your sorrow over this, but life (and especially music!) carries on. It's not such a tragedy as you described about a brother dying. The band will look different on stage, yes, but I doubt the sound will change...

Ah, well no. If I came across that way it was not intentional;) They are all important in the individual roles they play, of course. Just saying that as far as the songwriting is concerned Jonas and Anders are actually the two leaders/writers of the famed Katatonia sound. And for Daniel, it...

Yeah, this is sad news. I never got to see them live, but when I finally do it will be a bit sad knowing the two brothers are gone. But this is easier to accept than if Anders, Daniel, or the worst, if Jonas left! Those 3 guys MUST stick together!! Even though I love the new Katatonia cd I...

Wow, this is actually good! Out of the several Katatonia influenced bands I've heard, I must give the highest compliments to you! Your sound seems to combine the classic sounds of Katatonia's Discouraged Ones and LFDGD.

It is an amazing album indeed! How can one not like Sweet Nurse? Teargas? I Transpire? on and on. I even love We must Bury You!! Such a morbid short song that some here hate, but not this boy! For me, LFDGD is the first cd Katatonia did with their newer style that exudes a great deal of...

Yeah, but that's just his last name by default:lol::goggly:

Klosure: Actually, I started this thread with Katatonia NOT in mind! Maybe some here could be thinking of Katatonia, but the thread is more general about shit talking:) But I commend you for taking the time to add WHY you don't like the new Katatonia cd as much as some others. What you had...

Ah this if fun. Nothing like a good shitty discussion every now and then:lol:

Smart point. And, you're also correct that most every band (probably 99.5%!) believe their newest to be their best like you said. The narcissist fan says: "If you change your music from what I like about your band YOU'LL CREATE SHIT!!!! Stay stuck instead within the box I like, and then I...

Well said Brave.Archangel and FlawedCoil82! Good points made.

Well, I won't say that I require anyone to use "this is shit...imo". I can't require anything of anybody. I just wanted to point out that, in my opinion, I think some people are putting such a harsh extreme label of "shit" to some very brilliant albums that are very far removed from shit! And...
