[Satanas]

Hello all ...



This is Satanas from The Black Horde of Swans. At the present moment I am up here in the local mountains in California where I live enjoying the snow! Looking forward to hearing the new Kataonia as I enjoy their music very much. We ...(The Black Horde of Swans) are busy working on new music & then I will take a long overdue Holiday back home to Ireland & then on to Bishkek in The Kyrgyz Republic ...(Central Asia, part of the former Soviet Union) where my wife is from,she's Russian. Believe it or not people love Metal Music there very much & Russian Beer is quite good indeed! Hope you all are keeping well! Cheers! >>> Satanas :[/B]hotjump:

[Cerulean]

I think I've never introduced myself
Well I'm a friendly, nice bastard cunt from Belgium, 20 years old, studying games design/3D animation, and work each friday night at a fruit and vegetables depot. (so I'm getting ready to go now)
I play guitar in Sentience, some kind of melancholic metal with influences ranging from Tool to Katatonia and Anathema, and even Death. We've been looking for a singer for over a year now.

 

[paradoxile]

I'm about 4 months here I don't know if that's new but I never introduced myself so here we go.
I'm Ilan K.(that's my name) aka Paradoxile aka Weierestrass aka Fishik aka "that guy that looks like Mike Portnoy" aka Monk aka Jesus.
23 year old,Crazy as hell,third year Computer Engineering student from Israel.
I play Piano and Classic guitar on my own Avantgarde Solo project called "Nazeleth"(which means snot in hebrew) with influences range from classical music to 70's prog rock and contemporary death metal and hardcore.
I also do a little arty fartsy photography,writing an anti-religion propoganda book and some comedy sketches and I speak 4 languages fluently and currently learning my 5th:Swedish.

the first words I learned in Swedish were:kvinnligt könsorgan

[IFK_Gothenburg]

Well, I live in Göteborg, the centre of the universe, where the best teams play.
Anyway, I'm a student, and probably will be for another while.
I have the worst sense of humor ever and most people wants me dead after 5 minuets with me. And that is why I'm singing that "I will surely die".
I would like to concider my self as an open personality who doesnt really care about what I say. Many people get suprised when one says what everybody is thinking but nobody dares to say.

 

[affinityband]

Chris- at present moment, drunk
Lives-brackley, and has never had the honour of seeing katatonia.
Is a Forum Monkey....

 

[lumen]

I'm not new, but I read waaaay more than I post these days and probably never introduced myself anyway. The Katatonia forum was why I joined UM in the first place though. (I can't believe it's coming up on 5 years!)
I write for a couple of mags and host a campus radio show. I'm a grad student from/in Canada but I just applied to study in Sweden for a year, so that might change.

So, yeah. Hi people!

 

[Splintered Vision]

Im newish. Dont post a lot.

My names Garrett, i live in Melbourne, Australia. I just finished school and had my 18th birthday, so Hooray for me! Im a junior collector of things Opeth and Katatonia...but i must stress very junior

 

[cjohnson]

I just joined this forum a couple days ago and this is my first post. I'm a student in North Carolina, United States, and was turned on to Katatonia by an (online) friend from the Czech Republic last spring when he recommended Viva Emptiness. Since then I've gotten most (all?) of Katatonia's CDs, and lately I've been listening to Last Fair Deal Gone Down the most. Looking forward to the new album.

 

[the_dying]

I'm F. from Belgium (that's Europe for all them Americans ) and I'm into extreme metal and some softer bands such as Katatonia. Hehehe... I can still feel the atmosphere the first time I heard Dance Of December Souls in a cold dark winter... I write for a magazine and play in some (black) metal bands and one Katatonia styled band. That's it.

 

[salient]
