Long Distance Calling w/Jonas

[Victorialand]

Dudes,

Not sure if you know but the new Long Distance Calling album features Jonas on vocals (one track).

Check it. Song's called "The Nearing Grave". Reminds me of the good old Discouraged Ones days.

thanks for the link, it's a pretty amazing song.

 

[hauntedinflames]

oh I thought this meant we could call him up and hang out

 

[Kitiini]

Yeah I thought that too at first . But then I listened the song, it's pretty nice

 

[Illnath]

I also thought this was about calling Jonas....anyway...really amazing song

 

[BlueSky]

Yeah, the song is great.

Too bad the entire cd didn't feature Jonas, and have songs like this. I would have bought a record like that in a second. At least it's nice to see him finally getting around doing lots of guest work.

 

[Weizenkeim]

Hey, awesome! Satellite Bay was a cool album

 

[BlueOpal]

oh I thought this meant we could call him up and hang out

same here.

fucking amazing! it's nice to hear something new.. is there a permanent vocalist for this band, and if not, should we be worried about Katatonia?

 

[BlueSky]

should we be worried about Katatonia?

I'm certainly not worried in the slightest. For one they live in Germany so that slims the chances, and second it's not like Jonas hasn't had other side projects. The most you have to worry about is when Katatonia are going to have that burst of inspiration to finish a new cd. If anything it's best for them to spread their wings for a while so they can come back with new ideas, and maybe even a fresh outlook on how to make music.

 

[kevintonia]

True.. Jonas has had other sides.. but did it work out as well as this song? Not if you ask me.

Not that Jonas should get any ideas though.

October Tide would like a word with you.

 

[Soundjunkie]

personal i found the song meh. i don't think his vocal style works well with the music. he seems drowned out by the instruments.

 

[Hobo]

as stated, the mix is pretty bad, and his singing almost dissapears behind too much music.
however, i really like this.. i can even imagine buying it if the rest of the songs are this good

 

[Morfeind]

Good song, will be buying the album for sure. The only problem is this just makes me want the next Katatonia album even more lol.

 

[myownsilence]

boring, sorry, usually I love his stuff (ie Swallow the Sun) but here its tedious

 

[the mourner13]

It's so fuckin nice to hear Mr. Renkse.Damn I want him to sing forevermore!

 

[myownsilence]

True as long as he does not continue to do that little melisma ( singing that little phrase of notes over one word - as in unfurl - or similar to My Twin) in every song.

True but I will listen to it as long as he sings I'm just a desperate fanboiiii of his vox...

Am I the only one who never know this band before??? I can't stop listen to it now! For sure I'll buy this album !
