04.18.17 | Viva Emptiness would probably be a safe bet for the next album you should listen to but my favorites are last fair deal gone down and brave murder day. |
ZippaThaRippa
04.18.17 | Dead End Kings rules |
Dedes
04.19.17 | Every album that I've heard is at least a strong 3.5 |
Xenorazr
04.19.17 | Needs Brave Murder Day (and the Sounds of Decay EP). 3 is the tits |
Crysis
04.19.17 | unfurl is the best song katatonia has written by a large margin, it was orignally on their July EP
great band overall, dance of december souls rules and doesn't get enough love |
Dedes
04.19.17 | Yeah I understand some people love it but I just found it a bit less memorable then their other albums. Isn't Unfurl also on Kochtean? |
Xenorazr
04.19.17 | Unfurl is definitely a grower, but it hasn't achieved favorite status. |
Dewinged
04.19.17 | Like Concubinary said you are missing Viva Emptyness, Last Fair Deal Gone Down and Brave Murder Day. Also isn't July a single? (One of my fav songs though). Agree on that 1 too. |
Dedes
04.19.17 | "Releasing the vapor into the lung, letting the wings unfurl. For a moment I feel young, I call on the bird, unfurl." |
Dedes
04.19.17 | Unfurl is beautiful |
Dedes
04.19.17 | Also July was a five song EP as well as a single |
Crysis
04.19.17 | "Isn't Unfurl also on Kocytean"
Yup it is Kocytean is basically a compilation |
Dedes
04.19.17 | Ah ok my bad |
Dewinged
04.19.17 | Um I see, didn't know it was an EP too. |
AcmeApathyAmok
04.19.17 | Unfurl is one of my all time favorite Katatonia songs also. I consider myself REALLY lucky to be one of the few privileged fans to witness them play it live. |

04.19.17 | How have you not heard BMD?
jam that shit brah |
Dedes
04.19.17 | I may have heard bits and pieces. I don't remember too well. |
starboystargirl
04.19.17 | You absolutely need to hear Viva Emptiness.
Personally, it's my fav next to The Great Cold Distance. Both albums are similar, but also very different. You'll know what I mean when you hear it.
Also, great list. I'd add in Tonight's Decision, Last Fair Deal Gone Down, and Discouraged ones to your queue.
I've always hated Dance of December Souls. |
EvoHavok
04.19.17 | You definitely have to check BMD and LFDGD. |
Dedes
04.19.17 | Lol they're first on my list almost definitely |
AcmeApathyAmok
04.19.17 | Yeah, if I had to narrow down to three essential Katatonia albums it'd be Brave Murder Day, Last Fair Deal Gone Down and The Great Cold Distance. But everything album you haven't listened to yet (BMD through Viva Emptiness) is nothing short of great IMO. |
Dedes
04.21.17 | Update-The Katatonia concert was the best concert i've ever been to (Caspian and Uncured opened up for them as well and both were incredible. Check our Uncured when you can because their guitarist and vocalist are both like 18 but they play like fucking virtuoso's.) |
Gyromania
04.21.17 | haven't heard fall of hearts yet but hope it's way better than dead end snoozefest |
Gyromania
04.21.17 | list is missing last fair deal which is one of their best |
Dedes
04.21.17 | Actually listening to that right at this moment. I never got the hate for Dead End Kings. Katatonia doesn't change heavily stylistically between albums (aside from their first two obviously) but Dead End Kings is a lot like all the shit they've done recently. I'd say Fall of Hearts is a step above Dead End Kings still though. |
Artuma
04.21.17 | brave murder day is miles above anything else they've ever done |
Dedes
04.21.17 | I've heard bits and pieces and it was really good but topping Great Cold Distance or even the July EP is pretty hard tbh. |
AcmeApathyAmok
04.21.17 | I could understand why DEK disappointed a few fans but I didn't thought it was anything worse than good/ok at all. Actually, I thought it was great. |
ConcubinaryCode
04.22.17 | The uncured drummer is the son of Mike Portnoy too. |
AcmeApathyAmok
04.22.17 | Uncured had a different guy on drums when I saw them last night. I should know cause the drummer I saw definitely didn't look like Portnoy's kin at all, lol. I believe Portnoy's son was a session member or a guest musician only. |
