This sounds nothing like Opeth at all.

Lets leave Katatonia to their own sound, because they do have one, and it is fucking amazing.

@Arkayem exactly!Katatonia is a unique perfect band and so is Opeth.But their sounds are way different as you said

@neunmad Exactly! But maybe the Meshuggah influence is more obvious in Forsaker? Anyway, great bands all!

No one’s taking anything away from Katatonia, least of all me. But they have flirted with Opeth-esque moments for a few albums now, although spinning them a great deal more doomy. Its not surprising – Jonas Renske and Mikael Akerfeldt are close friends, and used to live together.

@NextArminius That’s the first thing I thought when I first heard forsaker. You won’t hear me complaining though. I LOVE both bands and “Forsaker” is a great song.

Katatonia must be more famous for their awsome music.
Thumbs up if u agree.

@Songofwyrd Katatonia has never shown any Opeth influence besides Idle Blood and a few brief instances on the new record. This track however sounds nothing like Opeth and most certainly has nothing to do with Meshuggah. The only similarity between Katatonia and Meshuggah is the intro to both “Forsaker” and “Future Breed Machine” and even that’s stretching it.

@UselessOpinions Significant chunks of Viva Emptiness disagree with your anti Opeth assertations. I think a large number of people are just arguing this because they think this is somehow supposed to imply Katatonia is bad – Far from it.

And I certainly never said anything about Meshuggah and Katatonia, so I have no idea where you got that from….

Funny, I always think of winter and autumn and just general gloominess when I listen to this album. I fucking love it.

Comparing Opeth and Katatonia = Fail:
Just look at the influences of both bands and you’ll notice that they have many non-metal ones that are similary. So Opeth and Katatonia always will conform in some way.

In fact, we have so many “pure” metal-bands…it’s a logical consequence that we always try to compare the “hybrid metal-bands”.

Just heard NITND for the first time a few days ago, and this was my favorite track. Reminds me of “Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light”- era My Dying Bride, specifically the riff right after the line “To take your son”.

@Songofwyrd BS. I’ll be the first to admit Idle Blood sounds like Opeth. However, If YOU hear some “outright” Opeth influence on Viva then that’s all in your head.

Someone else mentioned Meshuggah so don’t worry about it.

Opeth, Meshuggah, and Katatonia are awesome. And so is this song.
