B-sides edit

The band keeps referring to songs that didn't make the proper album. Keeping a list here, as it'd be great for a Background/Writing/Recording type section.

  1. Dissolving Bonds [1]
  2. Displaced [2]
  3. Unfurl [3]
  4. Code Against the Code[4]

Feel free to add to, with a source if possible. Sergecross73 msg me 16:48, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

July edit

Right now, the article is July (EP), but it's actually a single from the album. Will someone move the page in July (Katatonia song)? --78.12.240.121 (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Hard rock" and "shoegaze metal"? Come on! edit

I don't think the source used can be considered reliable. It's too easy to use an archive (which even doesn't say that litteraly, it just says that, in the album, they're still the same "hard-rocking-but-metal-to-the-core" band from their beginnings, but it's nothing concrete) from 15 years. Katatonia have never been a "hard rock" (straightforward I mean) act.

Wikipedia writes according to what reliable sources say. This is doubly so with subjective things like genre. We go by what sources say, not our personal theories (which violate WP:OR/WP:SYNTH.) Feel free to remove unsourced genre, but any additions of unsourced genre, or your removal of genre from reliable sources, are going to be continued to be undone. (See WP:RSMUSIC and WP:NOTRSMUSIC for a list of commonly acceptable or unacceptable sources. Sergecross73 msg me 16:59, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

This indeed looked like vandalism to me. All 3 genres, alternative rock, hard rock, and shoegaze metal, are ridiculous. Rules are of course the cause of the very good quality of content on Wikipedia in the first place, it's not a matter of dispute. Rules aside (which obviously come first), from the standpoint of informativity, this is an issue, and I hope it will be resolved soon. By the way, I believe it previously was "Doom metal, alternative metal, progressive metal", which was very accurate. Where did it originally come from? --Kukuster'mop (talk) 17:34, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
