they gave music a new meaning to me and got me into other great bands.and they've given me the best album of the year, not bad huh. 
Wanderer
Decayed Smile
Evisceratrix
blah
i second transparent here-they gave music a new meaning to me and introduced me to many other great bands-
theyre my favorite band, which for a while i couldnt even say that i had one, i hadnt heard anything that could compare.
and they influenced me to pick up my guitar, take it out of drop d and attempt to play seriously.
i almost forgot the original question here-
as for providing an escape-not so much....i think they put undeniable reality right in front of me. of course i get drawn into the music...but i could almost say they inspire me to keep going not matter how horrible things get. its more of a confrontation than an escape to me. i dont know if any of that made sense!
(
massive alcohol consumption provides my escapes! hhaha.)
so they most definately help me through hard times. the music helps me be calm and numb if i am going insane.
but im more often a very happy person, and during these times i dont quite know how to describe the effect katatonia has on me.

My life a misery .... 
*joking*
They have always kept me great company in my darkest hours.... *sigh*
especially with "Dance of Decmeber souls" and "sounds of decay","for funerals to come" and the song "Quiet world"

Katatonia provides a dark and gothic environment where I can relax and be myself. 
It's fun to put on some of Katatonia's slower songs and just stare out the window at night.

Saved me from suicide? Maybe not but they have helped me and provided me one of the greatest albums ever: Tonight's Decision

Anyway......
Katatonia always gave me a wonderful feeling in depression. I suppose that's why dark music is popular. There is a definite high to be found in this kind of depression I think.
Katatonia fit the bill perfectly. Jonas' lyrics really connect, although generally I'm happy enough...

whats this nonsence about dark music being popular? i do not search for fad bands and if that happens is without meaning
i think there's footprints on the ceiling!! LOOK BEHIND YOU!
hmm. Well seeing as I've only been into them for the last 2 months it would be easy to assume that it's been nothing much but great music. But the last two months have been a bloody difficult time, the harshest time I've encountered in life yet, and they've been there for me in much the same way as New Model Army often are.

It's not a question of what they've done for me, but what i got from them.
Especially on the Discouraged Ones and the Tonight's Decision Album Jonas Renkse desribed Feelings an Emotions in his Lyriks that could have been from myself, and their music is the best way of getting into this.
In long depressive and melancholic nights I just felt there's someone out there that may be feeling like me, or at least understands how i am feeling.
The Music itself gives just another strong impression and inspiration to me about this thoughts and feelings. It's like a soft wave of sounds carries you to the emotions you wanna get to, that makes you feel like the "black sessions" of your life that you wanna think about.
