Doom metal

Katatonia is a Doom metal act. Their sound grew out of Evergrey, Palace Music, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Misanthropy Records and Opeth.

They run in the same orbit as Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Daylight Dies, Tiamat and Moonspell, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Forgotten Tomb, Infected Rain, Daylight Dies, Moonspell and Swallow the Sun, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
