Some unrelated info for Katatonia lovers

[Love Conquers All]

Many people who like Katatonia like these bands as well, so I give small update:

Seems like 2005 will be quite busy for Shape of Despair camp. New Shape of Despair album will be out in the end of spring 2005 on Spinefarm as always. It will be CD with special stuff. New songs, unreleased tracks, demo tracks... maybe remixes. In the same time will be out first unreleased band demo "Alone in the Mist" on Vinyl on DLS label in limited to 500 LP's edition with deluxe cover.

The Mist And The Morning Dew MCD will be out on 31th of January throught Vendlus Records from USA. In the end of the summer, The Mist will record first full-lenght album which will be released on Vendlus Records again.

New Rapture album will be entitled "Silent Stage" and will be released on 16th of February in Finland and 21th of February worldwide on Spinefarm. Expect their most brutal shit since years!

:Spam:

I'm definitely looking forward to the new Rapture album! Their most brutal stuff, eh? So no clean vocals by Petri, no guitar harmonies and so forth... TMATMD's demo sounded rather good, too.

 

[my dying groom]

I think Songs for the Withering was disappointing.

 

[Love Conquers All]

it wasn't that good like Futile that's right. And I don't fuckin know why they need two vocalists when Petri can handle all the clean vokillz!

 

[ESTIOZ]

rapture is so fucking good !!

 

[insidethefall]

I thought songs for the withering was an excellent release. I don't want 'brutal' from Rapture, hopefully they mean it will be darker and heavier than their last release rather than death metal.

 

[Love Conquers All]

It will be darker, heavier too... and less clean vocals... Slower stuff

I am very glad to hear that about Rapture. Their website has been down for quite some time and I was beginning to wonder if they'd broken up or not. I loved their first two releases, and I have no doubt Silent Stage will be brilliant as well. Only a little while longer...

New Fragile Hollow disc comes out in a bit, which features aleksi from rapture/rain paint. I was a huge fan of their excellent 'Effete Mind' release and am awaiting this new one to blow me away. Rain Paint is releasing a new one soon, I can't wait !

Awesome, 2 new Katatonia albums this year

Yeah, me too! Can think of no better name for a Rapture album than "Silent Stage"! Hell, all they do between albums is be silent! Anyway, let's hope is a bit less straightforward than on Songs for Withering!

 

[Love Conquers All]

Well, Rapture are no silent at all... They work in their other bands

 

[MadTinus]

Looking forward to the new Rapture..

 

[ESTIOZ]

Well, Rapture are no silent at all... They work in their other bands

what other band ?

 

[Love Conquers All]

what other band ?

well rapture members......samu in finntroll, aleksi ahokas in Fragile hollow and Rainpaint, Henri is in some death metal band, and this new bassist, Sami is in some trippy band. And of course Tomi Ullgren is in Shape of Despair

 

[Corpinen]

Well, Rapture are no silent at all... They work in their other bands

Yeah, and while they're on their next break from Rapture Tomi will be on Thy Serpent's next album... One can at least dream of having yet one more album by them, right!?

 

[Love Conquers All]

Well, I am not sure there will be any other album by Thy Serpent. But if they decide to make one, it will be for sure without Sami Tenez... the mastermind behind Thy Serpent. Sami is very busy with Spikefarm these days so I doubt he would agree to record more shit.

Yep, thought so too. But still, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Thy Serpent was my biggest inspirator back in the days I started to fool around in bands. And Forest of Witchery is still, IMO, one of the best metal albums to come from Finland!!

 

[Love Conquers All]

defenately... I am sad too becouse Sami lost interest in Satanic Black Metal

 

[Demonspell]

About time we got an update on Rapture, I'm sure the new album will kick ass...I liked the clean vocals on Withering, but I'm not opposed to them getting heavier...
