SWALLOW THE SUN-HOPE

[Blakkheim]

jonas part on this album was... TOO good!
it should be brought back where it belongs

talkin about death/doom... i remember a huge fat guy with spikes and stuff came up to us after a gig in 93 and said "ere ok om jag kallar er för black/ doom?" ("is it okay if i call u black/doom?") with a hilarious accent and very serious face expression... we started laughin a bit and answered "yeah sure man, dont worry, its OK, go ahead" and he nodded and walked away very pleased...

oh and btw, im talkin with the slumber guys weekly, i keep forgettin their new name, but at least they're workin on their new album, slowly... and they're yet to find a new deal as well...

 

[stefan86]

haha. i agree. jonas vocal melody in that sts song is fucking incredible. can you ask the slumber guys what's it called and what they're doing musically? i'm interested

 

[the-great-cold-distance]

is it sad that seeing a post by blakkheim makes my day?

 

[stefan86]

kind of

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I agree 100% that Jonas' part on the album is beautiful! Best part on the album I've heard so far.

 

[stefan86]

the hook and feeling in the melody is inhuman. can't stop praising jonas for those awesome vocal melodies

 

[i aint play this]

Where can i listen to it? (the song featuring Jonas obviously majestic and gorgeously respectable silk-sounding vox)

 

[Hobo]

+
Morgion, Saturnus, Confessor

confessor?? isnt that that wickedly weird semi thrashband with disturbingly odd vocals?
Confessor - Offical Website

And i fully agree on Slumber being awesome.. but i think STS is awesomer

 

[LifeDepraved]

hail jonas and anderz!!!!

 

[Vincent J.]

Too bad they use that amazingly beautiful part as chorus... It's like four times in that song. A bit too much I think. Incredible parts like that should be scarce, now I think the fun can be off it quite fast...

Anyway, it really made me long to hear a next katatonia album

 

[BlueSky]

the more jonas the better son

 

[Vincent J.]

the more jonas the better son

nope

Not like this

 

[the mourner13]

This part is beautiful...But we've heard better from Jonas...Anyways he is the man!!By the way STS must get Jonas to handle all the clean voxGod what a fantasy...

 

[doom_death]

Blakkheim,can you maybe wrote/ask Jonas about the lyrics in 'his' part of the song?

 

[Swany]

Blakkheim,can you maybe wrote/ask Jonas about the lyrics in 'his' part of the song?

doom_death, can you maybe wait until it's out and read the lyrics in the booklet? :Smug:

 

[doom_death]

Actually,no But,yes,if you are asking,I'll be buying original album when it comes out,but I just want to sing along with Jonas,and I don't understand almost single word that he is saying...

 

[doom_death]

I mean, I don't hear anything he is saying clearly...

 

[Vincent J.]

Some words I hear are (or something like it):
Your life didn't save me now
When the words undone
Have all been spoken
I wash the blood from my hand
Let him die, silent in cold flowers

 

[the mourner13]

Some words I hear are (or something like it):
Your life didn't save me now
When the words undone
Have all been spoken
I wash the blood from my hand
Let him die, silent in cold flowers

Exactly heard the same words...But it maybe "life or light" and "didn't or won't"...

Daylight Dies, Slumber, Novembers Doom and Mourning Beloveth are four vastly superior bands pretty much unknown compared to STS

I haven't heard Slumber or Mourning Beloveth, so I won't say anything about them.

I've listened to some albums by Daylight Dies and Novembers Doom, and they both are good bands, but not nowhere near as good as StS. For Example Dismantling Devotion by Daylight Dies was very good at first, but got boring after a few listens.

So in my opinion Swallow the Sun still deserve every bit of recognition they get. The fact that you don't like them just shows bad taste on your behalf
