Katatonia video clip for new single

[the-lull]

What do you expect from what will be the first video clip ever from Katatonia (as Peaceville stated on their website)?
I personnaly hope for something very weird, black and white colours. I also hope that a story will be told in it, one of those strange stories Jonas likes to picture in Katatnia's songs, not just the band playing in front of the camera....
What about you ?

this is either going to be terrible, or the best thing ever. where does peaceville say this?

www.peaceville.com:

"Katatonia have finished their seventh studio
album. Recorded at Fascination Street studios in Orebro Sweden, and boasting one of the best productions in the world. Live action is being booked while the band finish the video for the new single which will precede the album in the new year. More soon."

I really dont think that Katatonia is going to do some lame ass video kind of thing.....I have the utmost confidence in the guys to do something that is going to be better than anything I would have come up with for them to do.......

 

[Hobo]

They should do something like that "whats he building in there" video from someone i dont remember.. or like that begotten movie.


or something realy GWAR like. with papiermache masks.

 

[ether]

are they shooting the video right now or is it already finished?

Will the video come out on a dvd or a single audio/video cd?

I´d like a story, maybe you can see som stills with the guys playing, but a story like a short film would be cool. And yes black and white fits.

sunshine...half naked girls...drinks...palmtrees...bling bling....this is going to be the best video ever!!!

 

[affinityband]

Sounds perfect.

 

[Darkness comming]

I hope a clip with a strange cold story more one very depress song which illustrates it.

 

[Hypnos]

the 'guy with the hat' from the Tonight's Decicion cover and these other pictures should be featured in this video...

sounds good...but if there are half naked girls there must be half naked Katatonia guys at the beach as well
Have you been working out this summer? We want you in perfect shape if you have to appear with those top models

Where will we be able to see this video? Will channels like mtv play it? They rarely play anything good

oh god......now its gonna be shit on because someone said MTV........if you guys all start arguing about whether it should be played on MTV or not I might go away and never come back.......and as much as some of you might like that please dont make me do it......

I am very excited about the video....I am positive that it will be tastefully done (I expect nothing less.....and have never been dissapointed) and I hope it gets Katatonia as much exposure as they have always deserved....regardless of where it is shown.....
NO ARGUING PLEASE

[MECOSARIO]

If there would be no swimingpool it can not be the best video ever!

And i have an orginal video scenario too.

"It is rainy.You play outside under the rain.Your drum is wet as well as your hair.Anders&Mattias&Frederik bang their heads while playing the most cool type of guitar but it has to be cheap too cause after the rain they will be useless.And Jonas tears his shirt apart."

It reminds me of Boys Bands era.

No arguing, but a discussion about this would be interesting..at least I don´t know on which channels metal videos are usually played...
I mean..if the video is for promotional purposes it must be played somewhere..not that it comes like a bonus on a Dvd and only the people who buy the Dvd can watch it.
I actually don´t watch Mtv because I don´t have it..and I don´t watch much Tv as well (here I only have channel 1, 2 and 4..not a big choice!)..so actually I´m totally ignorant about musical channels and the only ones I knew that could be good were payTVs...
For example in Italy there is a channel called RockTV (www.rockweb.it)
where they only have metal, alternative and or rock videos and sometimes it was quite interesting...but you have to pay to watch it...
As for Mtv I have no idea how it is now...however one of my best friends works for the Italian Mtv and is responsible for the programming..maybe I should ask her

I would be glad if they made a good video and if other people could see it on Mtv too, but I highly doubt it...
A good video costs so much money and I actually don´t know if it is Peaceville that produces it...but I don´t think that Peaceville can afford a very expensive video like the ones you see on Mtv..
