KATATONIA - Birds (Official Video) | Napalm Records

[@sonyasams3345]

Katatonia is such an underrated! I love this whole album.

[@paulgillespie3251]

So many earworms.

[@zenzalei]

My bird and I appreciate this song and its gorgeous lyrics.

[@tallulahbeaverhausen4382]

Finally, a song named "birds" ! I mean... there is a bird or feathered wings on pretty much all their album covers ! There's even a bird in their new logo.

[@Kapricorn.Musick]

They did a song many years ago called Passing Bird, so they kinda have been here before. But this song is great, looking forward to SVoS

[@Powermad-bu4em]

Read the lyrics to Unfurl. It's definitely a constant with them.

[@coreydepoppe6480]

Album artwork is phenomenal

[@johnnybernardestavares]

I really loved when I went looking for a bird, feathers or wings in the City Burials cover... And I found it! Don't know who's more obsessed, me for trying to find something, or them for really putting it there 😅

[@fullmetalguy8357]

Birds have been a constant since their JHVA Elohim Meth days. The opening line of Without God contains the lyrics "human birds watch the sky". Along with cities, it's been one of their most reoccurring conceptual themes (as opposed to themes of depression and darkness).

[@alfa_centaurii]

Katatonia is so different from other bands. The voice so peaceful in the most chaotic and dark atmosphere. I have so many memories from listening this band since years ago. But just because their music was there makes it more tolerable. Sometimes all we have is just an album to go through difficulties and makes so much different than having nothing. Thanks to this band.

[@blackbullet4254]

Honestly their newer stuff are much better that their very older ones, Jonas' singing with his amazing voice is so much better than the screams tbh

[@AlphaBieber]

True. Whenever you need emotionally fitting music, Katatonia is right there for you, for decades now. Thanks!

[@nonenothing4412]

I can relate so much to this

@@FranciscoBurrola Still trying to figure that out - Jonas and Anders were both born in '75 respectively, but neither in March. Jonas was born 5/75 and Anders 4/75. '92 saw the (first official) release of "Jhva Elohim Meth" but there's no month of release listed on Metal Archives. 179 I'm not sure, but the 218 seems to be when their hiatus was started following their tour in early 2018 (although the last date was 3/2 and not in February).

I personally don't like the new 3 songs that much... but only when compared to City Burials for example. They lack uniqueness, or should I say the nuances I expect from them. Doesn't make them bad songs, I just don't like them that much compared to the other stuff.

Really? I don't like them nearly as much as the 3 singles from City Burials. Not even close to me. Laquer for example is so unique, the other ones are harder but immediately stick in your ear. Birds I don't like at all, austerity I needed so many replays to get a feel for it. Atrium is the best. Never had that with any of the previous singles they released from previous albums. But that's just me, they're still great songs to me, just not as good when compared to previous albums.

I want to express my gratitude for this beautiful song, so thankful to have seen you guys play this live, a few nights ago in Limerick, an incredible performance, an otherworldly experience truthfully. I have a sacred friendship with birds, crows in particular, so your music, this song has become very important to me. I struggle to detail in words just how important your songs, your sound have become for me, a lifeline, my therapy, I am incredibly appreciative. Your music allows a space where inner darknesses can be confronted, dealt with, a safe space where old wounds, emotions are revealed and hope, some kind of peace can grow from the scars, a sort of acceptance is born. I have always struggled to find a place in this world but felt music has and will always grant me a safe home, thank you again for this gift, it gives such light, comfort. Peaceful and loving blessings from Ireland 💚 enjoy the rest of the tour, hope to see ye guys again🤘
