    New Album

    I wasn't arguing with you YV, I do agree with the point you made I was merely saying that Deftones are nu-metal and that the single/ EP they released called 'Back to School' is a clear indication of this!

    New Album

    Yes Nu-Metal does borrow elements from old bands but as I said in an earlier post, Sepultura were the first band to invent nu-metal, its a fact, they invented it on their Roots album. As for Deftones, are you mad, I used to like them a few years ago and their are unquestionably nu-metal. You...

    New Album

    The album has really grown on me in the many listenings since buying it yesterday. I still dont particularly like the nu-metal elements but overall the album is very good, however I dont think it will ever top LFDGD or TD. The only song I dislike now is Sleeper and I think I have a new favourite...

    New Album

    I said that down tuning was part of the nu metal sound, that doesn't mean that any band who down tunes is nu metal but all nu metal bands do feature down tuning. Does that make sense? Also why does Viva having nu metal elements mean you have to own other trully nu metal albums? I did not say it...

    New Album

    People seem to be very unfamiliar with the true meaning of the term "nu-metal". It does not mean to have rap, the country of origin does not matter, despite you all thinking Nu-Metal has to come from America and it does not mean heavy. It is a certain style of playing featuring down tuned...

    Secret behind Viva's tray

    I found it too though to be honest its a bit pointless and not particularly funny!They should have made a proper design behind the tray and had a clear case rather than the shiny black backing.

    New Album

    I'm suprised that the only comments so far have been positive. I am actually a bit disapointed with the album. I was really looking foward to it and after having had Criminals, Evidence and Complicity as mp3's for a while I thought the new album could be one of Katatonias best. However after...

    Profound review of "Viva Emptiness" in http://metalhel.net

    I would just like to apologise for any and all things I said which may have offended anyone. After reading a review which baffled me I articulated my opinion very badly on this board. As for sounding angry, that's far from the truth as I can't wait till the new album is out! From the small...

    Profound review of "Viva Emptiness" in http://metalhel.net

    Once again I apologise for being so critical. Anyway you wanted me to point out the faults so here they are: "There are only few songs which are easy, bittersweet and freely flowing" What does this mean? do you mean simple, why the combination of free flowing and bittersweet, what does...

    Profound review of "Viva Emptiness" in http://metalhel.net

    Sorry if I sound cruel but that wasn't a very good review. I take it that english is not your native language as many of the sentances are incredibly muddled up and quite confussing. I dont understand over half the review due to words out of place, completely illogical non sensical senstances...

    For Funerals To Come

    Who actually does the vocals on this EP? The official site says that it is Jonas but that has to be wrong as he sounds just like Mikael Akerfeldt. I only have the tracks as tacked on extras on the American release of Brave Murder Day, does this make a difference? Also anyone who has Brave Murder...

    When I tell my friends I listen to Katatonia...

    Yeah I get that all the time, no-one knows Katatonia in the UK but everyone knows the welsh band Catatonia and people often look at me odly when I wear my Katatonia T-Shirt, until I explain it's not the crappy welsh band. I guess it's something people will always do hear, confuse the two bands...

    New sample!

    Just wanted to let those of you who don't know and aren't lucky enough to have heard the album (me being one of the unlucky ones) that "Ghost of the Sun" is up as another 45 second sample at the official homepage. Enjoy!

    How did you get into Katatonia's music?

    I first heard Passing Bird on a metal Hammer free CD (A British metal mag) back when I was mostly into more mainstream metal. I really liked it and say Discouraged Ones in a shop somewhere, however after buying it I thought it was crap! As the shop I bought it from dont do refunds unless there...
