DOOM that's what it is, plain and simple! They used to be doom death, now they are doom. Granted that this one word description of them doesn't even touch the surface of KATATONIA but that is what they are. DOOM KATATONIA style, in their way!
FuckinShit said:doom is slow, mournful, heavy = not Katatonia as they are today
they have nothing to do with doom, and they never were doom-death, more of black-doom in DODS and BMD...
Shogunaut said:KATATONIA is doom, were always doom, and will always be doom!!! They used to be Black Metal in their first demo, then Doom Black Metal for one album and ep, then Doom Death for one album and ep, and since then they have been doom!!!
That's it, plain and simple! I have ALL their CDs so your not telling me! 'Nuff said!!
Violin said:Genres are stupid and cliché. Listen to the music and decide whether or not you like it, don't let genres and categories get in your way. There isn't anything wrong with broad genres, but seriously when you're arguing over whether so-and-so is black, death, doom, or goth metal, then it gets to be ridiculous. They're atmospheric and brilliant. And they're definitely rock or they're definitely metal. That's all that matters. If you want a descriptive term for those who haven't listened to them before, simply try "atmospheric."

EvilGenius said:Egg-zactly! Is it important to label Katatonia, or any other band for that matter, as doom-metal? I mean, yes it is important for people trying to sell their music so they describe it sometimes in lazy-ass ways like "my music is doom-metal. Nuff said." But is it important for the listener to have the music they love and enjoy be labeled a specific brand? I can't see how it's important at all, and it's a waste of energy to argue over it to. Bleh.
