[[Katatonia]] is a Swedish metal band formed in 1991 by two friends in Stockholm. Since then, the band has moved through a variety of changes both musically and lyrically while maintaining their somber, depressive tone.
The principal men behind the band are vocalist Jonas Renkse and guitarist Anders "Blakkheim" Nyström. Usually Anders writes the bulk of the music and Jonas the lyrics.

* [[Murder Ballad]]: "Murder", obviously, and "We Must Bury You" and "Sweet Nurse". {{spoiler|An abstract song about corpses on windmills, a bullying-turned-murder event and a case of euthanasia respectively}}
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Jonas' vocals on ''Dance of December Souls'', especially on "Without God", will frighten anyone not used to metal screaming. And many lyrics.

* [[Precision F

* [[Take That]]: "Passing Bird" makes stabs at emo girls pretending to be depressed. Anyone seriously down would want to get better, not stay there to get attention.

* [[Title Drop]]: "The Itch" contains the line "the great cold distance".
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Any lyrics, verging sometimes into [[Nightmare Fuel]].
