Sure theres talk here about music similar to Katatonia, but I want to make it more specific.
Ever wondered there must be tons of good music thats sung in a foreign language? I did and now I want to introduce a band named Sara to you. It's very popular in Finland and often referred in media as something in the axel of Katatonia-Kent-Tool. They sing in Finnish, so most of you prolly have not heard from it, but I hope that's no excuse to not listen to it. At least I'm not bothered if a song is sung in complete gibrish to me.
Sara's sound is quite similar to Katatonia's TGCD-VE with piano added. They balance between riffs and beautiful minimalistic melodies. The singer reminds me of Jonas Renkse, very distinct, eerie, breathy way of singing.
Here's a last song from one of their album, "You wipe the years off my face"
When this song's chorus comes around 01:30, it brings to my mind, Inside the City of Glass and One Year From Now.
Another one, "A completed road", athmospheric
"Yet I form my shadows", diverse song
Theres a few good examples that aren't on youtube. There might be some songs in http://www.myspace.com/saranhuone though its under maintenance for some reason.
So, what do you think? Is it even close? Tell me and introduce a band as close as possible to Katatonia from your country!
