As I remember it the early days of the PMT saw several bands voted on an rejected just to prove they wouldnt let any old metal in, hence Evernesance and Lacuna Coil.

Well, just to throw some fuel on the fire, Green Day's American Idiot was about as Tommy esque conceptual rock opera as its possible to get for a modern mainstream rock band. I can see why folks might think its prog Tongue

Come on angel that isnīt fair! Youīre doing the exact same thing as the Camel dude above my last post which is to imply that people here want to add Katatonia because they like Katatoniaīs music. And as I said above that is completely irrelevant. The people in this thread who would like to see Katatonia added to PA want to see Katatonia added because they feel they are progressive and have a place here.
 
Itīs up to those believers to create a strong enough case to convince the non-believers ( man I love those religious terms LOL). As I implied above it will likely fail, but who knows if they havenīt tried?
UMUR, i wasn't implying on Katatonia exactly, a was more infuriated by people who just suggest some obvious non-prog bands here,  and by accedent i unleashed my rage here on Katatonia thread. As far as i am concerned Katatonia has some prog moments for sure. i will support Negoba here, if we add Katatonia, then we also open the door for loads of bands similar to Katatonia, for example Sentenced, Autumnblaze, Nox Mortis, Swallow the Sun,Novembers Doom, Lifelover,  and that is some vicious circle , many non prog bands could enter the archives .. 
 
Actually Novembers Doom and Lifelover has some prog elements even if not they have sure a progressive music style. (IMO)
 
And you should think the opposite, maybe there are lots of bands in PA that are really not that progressive and there are some bands that had been rejected or removed unfairly although they have enough prog elements in them.

You left out the only genre I think they would properly fit into! Experimental/Post... especially considering Anathema is already in there and they basically have very similar career paths.

I think Katatonia should definitely have a page on PA.  I think they'd fit perfectly in the Experimental/Post-metal subgenre.  Now I wouldn't actually call Katatonia "prog", but they are continously experimenting with the blending of styles in their music.  They really aren't a progressive rock outfit, but they are definitely progressive in their own right.  If bands like Deadsoul Tribe and Anathema are included on this website, then I believe Katatonia should DEFINITELY be on board as well.  For those who have not heard it yet, Night is the New Day is very progressive in this aspect.  And listening to all their albums chronologically will show the progression of the band unfolding from album to album. 
 
...And I do believe that over the years the word "prog" has increasingly become a broader, looser term.
 
But, again, I strongly believe that Katatonia deserves a spot in the Experimental/post-metal group, hands down.  So I voted for "Other"!Smile

Experimental/Post-Metal is indeed Katatonia's place I think.
And lo, the mighty riffage was played and it was good

Been a fan of the clean vocal material for quite some time; however, I don't think they belong here. Not sure why Anathema is here either, but whatever.

Look people, once the masses declare something "progressive" then it becomes prog music. Regardless of what the few "experts" or whatever define the genre as for example:


(Taken from LastFM)

Those tags are voted on by thousands of people. And the general consensus is that they are progressive metal, so therefore, it is probably appropriate (and fair for the band) for them to be included on the site. Regardless.

*Edit: wow, just realized this thread is ancient.

There's been an attempt to get them added more than once without any success. I think they belong here in Post-Metal but would be shocked if they are ever added. At least the MMA site has them and i've been slowly reviewing them over there.

Congratualtions on raising from the grave a thread that has dead for three years. There are more recent threads you could have found using a simple search.

If you can put together an argument in favour of Katatonia that even approaches the kind of discussion that revolved around the addition of Metallica then I would be very surprised. 
 
I should also point out that Metallica are in Prog Related, no one is suggesting they are or ever were a Progressive band. It has been a long time since we have ever had to state this, but I feel you have made it necessary:
 
Prog Related is not Prog
 
- please print this out in big letters and scotch-tape it to your monitor.
 
Katatonia do not meet any of the requirements for Prog Related, Metallica do.
 
 
 
 
What?

I think their progressive side are clearly between post and prog metal. But I'll have to agree, Katatonia do not meet any of the requirements for prog related. But accepting Katatonia as a postmetal band in PA would really make sense.
p.s. I think Megadeth should be added to the prog related as Metallica.

Nope. It really, really, really doesn't work like that.

I don't see what's post metal about Katatonia.

Prog related would work.

I have been buying Katatonia albums for over 15 years, I checked, they have not move more to prog, quite the reverse, [and incidentally, I do not love god]. They ain't Fates Warning, they ain't Prog Metal, they ain't Post Metal, they ain't Prog Related. 
hmmph
