What kind of Katatonia fan are you?

[stefan86]

I've always wondered what background most of the Katatonia listeners come from. There seems to a wide variety, ranging from extreme metallers (Death/Black) to classic Heavy/Power metallers, prog-listeners (Opeth, Porcupine Tree etc.), people who only listen to soft rock and even goths. There's also a lot of Doom fans of course, thanks to DoDS and BMD.

So, what music do you mostly listen to beside Katatonia?

I would place myself in the extreme metal category, as I'm into a whole fuckload of Death Metal beside more mellow favourites as Katatonia, Anathema, Porcupine Tree, Isis and so on.

I voted for progressive, because it's the genre I listen to the most of the time lately. But I listen to all the stuff listed, except for powermetal...
btw, I don't like genres...

 

[stefan86]

Heh. Genres are a bit on the dumb side yeah, but I was just curious about it in this case.

 

[the mourner13]

I voted doom/death-classical doom...Man i love that kind of music,but i also like the new alternative shit like Deftones,Blindside,Mudvayne...

 

[A Stranger]

i voted prog. though i do listen to a lot music that wouldnt be considered prog. this topic is gonna be flamed in a few posts by someone who hates genres. gauranteed. i dont particularily like to choose a fav genre myself.

 

[Aprilhäxan]

I'm somewhere in the middle between extreme metal and doom. But I love almost all genres mentioned though except power.

 

[Weathered]

i also listen to all genres mentioned except power metal... hm... but often i need some brutal sound so i vote for death metal ^^

 

[batmura]

I listen to everything, but prog has always been my favourite.

NP: Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance

 

[jptk]

hmm...well i dont like extreme metal or power metal so it just depends on the band really. Although that is a pretty limited list

[Zowi]

As said above^, almost everything except for powermetal
But mostly progressive/death like stuff.

 

[Limbonic]

Doooom.

 

[Braighs]

I couldn't see a huge Katatonia fan being into powermetal...
Progressive is 80% of what I listen to.

 

[gone]

I pretty much dislike all the genres listed.

 

[madu]

Hmh, I don't really know myself what I like anymore. I've been mostly listening to new Katatonia and Nightingale, and Nightingale sure is softer than Katatonia so I guess I'll go with that.

 

[Divatkreació]

I picked up everything else there besides gothic, although I do like bands like Joy Division, The Cure and Type O Negative. And yeah, I picked the classic metal because thrash was listed with power (why?). And I don't like power metal.

 

[LifeDepraved]

I'm here to break the chain. Give me a Hammerfall or Rhapsody album and I'll be singing along the whole night

I picked the first 4 because Death Metal and Black Metal obviously kick ass. Who can resist some Severe Torture, Necrophagist, Decapitated, Nokturnal Mortum, Dawn, or Carpathian Forest?

And since I love listening to music that's very moody and melancholic I go for Doom. I prefer My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost (Older), Atrox (First Album), Candlemass, Morgion, Swallow The Sun, Old Katatonia ov corpse...

Then we have Heavy Metal, Power Metal and Thrash. In which I take some Iced Earth, Sentenced, Evergrey, Rhapsody, Dragonforce, Edguy, Exodus, Vio-Lence, and some Kreator...mix it up...and there you have me.

Then lastly Prog. MMM gimme some Dream Theater, Symphony X, Some Opeth, Aztec Jade and I'm a winner. Ok I'll stop.

 

[demonikon]

Death/Black Metal

 

[Tone-Deaf]

It's hard to decide. I mean, I listen to a lot of stuff from different genres. I love listening to porcupine tree, new paradise lost but also Dark Tranquillity ( The new album kick ass, I bought the ltd edition with the different cover that includes lots of extras \m/), Nevermore. That means, progressive, doom/gothic, and Melodic Death Metal/Thrash. But I can't say that I'm fan of all bands or a lot of bands that belong to a specific genre. Death Metal gets annoying and borring If it's not played well for example.I won't say more. I'll probably vote Progressive and Classic Metal, although ''classic'' isn't the right word as I listen bands from up to 90's
