Katatonia, the Swedish metallers (not the crappy Welsh band from the 90s), really are a cheery bunch, singing songs about happiness, jumping for joy and singing praises in the name of being a tip top happy cunt.
No, in seriousness, the band are so depressing that they make Staind look like those annoying children’s entertainers that won’t stop smiling no matter how much shit you shout/throw at them. Unlike Staind, however, Katatonia are a damn good band and aren’t a bunch of musically challenged men, writing high school level poetry about how “crap” life is.
Originally,the band began composing more Death/Doom style music, but eventually the band grew into a more straight rock act incorporating clean singing. You can check out ‘In Death, A Song’ taken from 1999’s Tonight’s Decision below.
