Mikael/Katatonia question

[aebon]

i'm new, so forgive my ignorance on the subject...

which Katatonia albums does Mikael appear on?

 

[Pseud0]

brave, murder, day

its a really great album. Go buy it.

 

[deliverance]

he also does vocals on the Sounds of Decay EP.

 

[burton]

Just the growling vocals though.

 

[Bertovo]

So that means he doesnt appear on the track "Day"?

Also, who does the growls on the Brave Yester Days album? Or is that Jonas? Furthermore, what is the Brave Yester Days album, is it new material, or just old stuff released together.

Finally, is Viva Emptiness a concept album?

 

[atrocity]

It's Jonas on "Day" as far as I know.
I think BYD is old material released together in a new album.
No, VE is not a concept. (If it is , i'd be happy if someone would explain the concept.)

 

[Bertovo]

I might be totaly off base with this, but...

Something about a guy and a girl, that were in some sort of organized crime duo. He got the spotlight of it all, so they had to seperate, some how the cops find out she was envolved, then the main characters freedom revolves around her interigation.

Once again, I might be insanely off base here, but I have always thought that the songs, song titles, and lyrics (to an extent), flow together a bit to nicely.

 

[jeanreno]

Jonas does his best Mikael impersonation on Day though, took me a few listens to figure out who was doing the vocals.

 

[burton]

The lyrics flow because it's about crime in general. No real story in it.

 

[Nitronium Blood]

I wish Mikael was not involved on so many projects. Too much to handle!

 

[Demoke]

no concept... there's some jeez hidden behind the CD, though.

 

[burton]

Yeah, that hidden conversation written on the back cover.

 

[Bertovo]

Who what now?

 

[burton]

If you look on the back of the back cover of the VE cd case there is a conversation printed on it. I believe it's between Blakkheim and some random girl, and they're talking about jizz. Basically an example of how shallow the world is. Kinda what VE is about.

Furthermore, what is the Brave Yester Days album, is it new material, or just old stuff released together.

Its a bunch of b-sides and alternate versions/remixes of old songs, divided into the album-eras they came from.


And i reckon Brave Murder Day is overrated. Brave is a good song, but none of the others have ever really done much for me. Whenever i put on the album i always start to think of other songs id prefer to be listening to...

All I see is some traffic lights, and a crow, and some feathers.

It may be because you have the digipack version, Peaceville always cut alot if linear notes from digipacks.

 

[burton]

No, you take the cd case apart. You know the place where the cd sits? Pop that out and there you go.
