Katatonia - July REACTION!!

[@filthyorcses6555]

I’m always so excited when someone is familiar with this band, one of my all time favorite bands. I just saw them in concert couple months ago and they are so perfect live 🔥🔥

The first song I heared from them back than was 'Leaders' from the same album and it only took a few seconds for me to know I had found something special...! So my suggestion: Leaders!

Katatonia are another legendary band from Sweden, check out their albums "Last fair deal gone down" and "The great cold distance" keep up the grwat Swedish metal reactions 🤘

Nice! Opeth and now Katatonia. Mikael Åkefeldt (Opeth) and Jonas Renkse (Katatonia) are friends. Recommend Soen and Porcupine Tree also. All these bands are connected somehow.

More Swedish music! :D This one didn't quite work for me, but it's good. It's like music I wouldn't mind having on in the background when just chilling or doing stuff.

The singer Jonas used to sing death growl vocals in all their early years as well as play the drums, but he was screwing up his vocal chords with growls the doctors told him if he keeps it up he will lose his ability to sing at all. So he switched to clean style like in this song. Katatonia was one of the pioneers of swedish doom metal back then. Since then they have completely changed their style. If you want to hear him sing the harsh stuff try the song For Funerals to Come, try October Tide - 12 Days of Rain. October Tide is a band that was originally comprised of Jonas on vocals and drums and Fred Normann on guitar and bass 12 days of rain is from that first album. Fred used to be one of guitarists in Katatonia he left and formed October Tide with Jonas. October Tide since then is a complete band with Fred as the founding member. You should check out their newer stuff its heavy ass melodic doom/death metal really good. Katatonia is now a progressive melancholy metal band that is one of the greatest bands to ever come out of Sweden. Another really kick ass band is In Mourning check out the song Black Storm from them you will dig it.✌🎵🎸🔥

This song is from The great cold distance Album which is one of the best Albums ever for me. Only bangers, and the drummer is just amazing, i put my guitar aside and started to learn drums after hearing that. Sadly he left the Band and now there's something missing in their music, still good but the vibe is different. Have you checked The Ocean - Jurassic|Cretaceous? For me the most thrilling Metal Song of the last ten years. It's a perfect Song, over ten minutes long and an absolute journey! Katatonias singer Jonas Renske has a guest appearance on that song. The original singer from The Ocean is pushing it as you wished Jonas would have done at the end of July 😉

Do you know any other bands that drummer has moved onto since you could recommend? The Great Cold Distance is one of the best albums ever produced/composed, from start to end. Never heard anything else like it.
