Wow, I just accidentally ran into into this topic, it was probably going on for a while... It was really nice to read all of your introductions
. I hardly posted anything on this forum, though I've been reading it for about 6 months or so... I could say that I'm a better listener than a talker, which sometimes comforts people
.
Anyway I come from Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, which is stated in the Alps between Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary. I ran in Katatonia very very accidentally. I met some guy from Norway via internet while I was playing Warcraft, well it doesn't happen very often... that guy was almost like a soulmate to me, we talked for hours on MSN and we liked the same Sepultura CD, because of drums
.
I downloaded every single thing about Katatonia, and it all started hmm.. like 1,5 years ago. Listening to Katatonia albums was something completely new to me. I've never heard that true grief in music and came across that melancholy. I started with Brave Murder Day and Ihva Elohim Meth. The brakethrough was when I played the Discouraged one CD at 3 am when I couldn't sleep. I never had similar feelings with any music, I stepped into the Cold ways and gone atmosphere
. It took me about a year and a half to get through all of the albums. I thought i would never like Tonight's decision and LFDGD, but you should never force to like the record.. si i listened to Katatonia patiently and it was more than worth
.
Anyway my name is Matic, I'm 20 years old, and I study economy. And In the last past 2 years life has significally changed for me - besides music I met lots of intreresting people, friends, and of course my beautiful girlfriend:Spin: .
Besides Katatonia I like music like Pink floyd, Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Police, Enigma, and a lot of metal, like Ensiferum, Dissection, Sepultura and many many more.
The big pity for me is that I live in acountry with only 2 million people, and I never heard of any fan of Katatonia by far... that's probably the reason of my thorough introduction on this forum.
Though I have seen Katatonia play on Metalcamp 2004 - I was really sad because they shortened the show, but after the show I had to go chillout for an hour, I was really impressed by your show, but on the other side sad, because some ''short minded metal people'' didn't like you.
This week I read Deliverance's thread and signed-up for my ebay account, and Tonight's decision record is on my way. Soon I'll get the whole collection probably, but not as big as that from Reece
. Well I like the artwork and love the lyrics, so those downloaded cd-s don't do me to good
.
I can't wait to buy the new CD in a week im dying for it:hotjump: .... I'll see you guys in Italy and Hungary this year, desperate to hear you live again...
I hope I didn't offend any band members or Katatonia listeners with the fact that I downloaded their albums, but it was the only way to know you.
Although I could write much more I think you had more than enough from me
.
Cheers to all!
