Music in the vein of Anathema and Katatonia

[stefan86]

I'm looking for bands who sound like or share the same kind of atmosphere that Anathema's (Judgement/A Natural Disaster) and Katatonia's (Tonight's Decision/Last Fair Deal Gone Down/Viva Emptiness) latest material has.

So I'll basically be happy if anyone has any bands to suggest

I can't help you with this one, but I'd just like to say that I don't get the same vibe from these 2 bands at all. I LOVE Katatonia, and I can barely stand Anathema. What the fuck? I tried at least 3 or 4 of their albums, but no luck in finding anything to like about them.

-Lacrimas Profundere
-My Dying Bride : "Like gods of the sun" and "the angel and dark river"
-Opeth : Damnation (not really the same but still good !!)
-Amorphis
-The Gathering

Good shit there man...

 

[Demilich]

Rapture

Well, if we're on the topic of bands similar to earlier Katatonia...

Daylight Dies.

 

[Barth Vader]

You should check out Agalloch. They totally blew me away when I first heard them. Also Porcupine Tree.

 

[Hatebreed]

Belketre

Oh thanks for the tips. I've heard some of the stuff mentioned (Sentenced, Amorphis, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride) but I'm checking out all the other stuff I can get a hold of. I'm listening to the first track of Blazing Eternity's "A World to Drown In" right now and it sounds really nice.

 

[Profanity]

Hope you find what you're looking for.

 

[stefan86]

A lot of the stuff was really cool. Esp. Agalloch and Blazing Eternity.

 

[Tanith]

Yes, Agalloch do indeed rock. If you liked them, check out Forest Stream.

 

[Perdition's Light]

October Tide features the guitarist and drummer of Katatonia and singer Mårten Hansen, who does vocals for A Canorous Quintet, Sins of Omission. Sounds a lot like Katatonia though.
