Bands for a katatonia fan

[Drynwhyl]

i agree, they make really touching music, was quite impressed as i've discovered them a year or so ago, have got even a shirt of their first merchandise pressing

 

[Lefthander]

Try this:

Its Russian doom-project
Hope you like it

since here were mentioned bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Red House Painters i would definitely recommend a great emo/noise/rock band - Sometree. there're three full songs on their homepage. (www.sometree.de)

a big thanks to passenger for the tip!

oh yes they sound good, i've just checked out two songs on the link you mentioned!!!!

Deliverance6, yes ISOLA is one of my favourite Kent album, nice to see you liked it!

I find that there are few bands that make me feel like katatonia does, but here are mine.
Porcupine tree
Red house painters
jeff buckley
Arab strap (sometimes)

I especially recommend red house painters for depression and loss of relationships etc. Youll want to kill yourself eventually, its good fun.

What a weird kind of fun...

 

[ether]

Yes weird fun....

Please don't joke about suicide especially in these days...a person I knew committed suicide a few days ago and I'm still upset. He was only 25.

 

[Deliverance6]

My apologies ether. It was in poor taste. I am sorry to hear about your friend.

Hello everyone.
This is my new band. I don't exactly set out to sound like anyone but Katatonia is a major influence. The name of the band is Neon Sun Disorder. Check out the site and download a 30second sample of one of our songs. It might take a while if you don't have a fast connection. Check out the message forum anyway and be in with the chance to win a FREE EP.

Just give it a try...please!
Thanks.

I need a much bigger sample if i should be able to say much about your music. It sounded messy, but still pretty interresting.

 

[lachrar]

it's only 8 hours that l ve been listening isola album of kent..
and it really embraces me too.. definetly suggested..
there's a song called bianca.. i thought..
anyways..

you may easily start murmuring katatonia after listening to any song..
try "glider"..
(iiit's a fine day..) or the very beginning of the song elvis..it smells very much darker side of katatonia..
all songs seem similar but listen very closely..

 

[Schism]

Hmm, so try polish Riverside - www.riverside.art.pl and download some mp3 samples.
Their music is similar in some ways to Anathema/Katatonia/Porcupine Tree
Very worthy music!

Thanks for the heads up on Riverside, listening to it now - sublime stuff!!!
It's got a lot of APC/Tool influence too

 

[Illnath]

Tool
Pinchbeck.
Paradise Lost
Blazing Eternity

 

[sounds_of_decay]

not a bad thread at all...

 

[Falconspirit]

great stuff indeed, I really liked Riverside, and Sometree

 

[SickDoll]

Antimatter, doesn't sound like Katatonia but is very good!

 

[Tomasz]

I don't think anyone mentioned Celestial Season. I know their music was of great help to me in my down times. Seems like a depresive sounding music had an uplifting effect on me. I recommend albums "Forever Scarlet Passion" and "Solar Lovers" in that order.

 

[Falconspirit]

I would like to add a band I recently got into, they have a good style, some of you might like them so check them out they're called Revile.

[norghash]

one that hasn't been mentioned yet i think - in ruins (us) "four seasons of grey" - excellent album imo but very underrated...you can get their cd in stores and on ebay for 5 bucks or less - check it out!

 

[daimonion]

Too much bands that resemble old katatonia. But i guess the new stuff is just more unique...

 

[Eversion]

I demand you guys check out Earthtone 9. They are my favorite band and I don't know why anyone here wouldn't like them. They have a bit more metal bite so they probably seem to have the Viva Emptiness sound, but they have vocal/guitar melodies to die for. Check out this song:
