Just a question for people who disagree. What makes bands like Anathema post-metal/prog, but not Katatonia?

I think the progressive metal would be right for their style of music |

Anathema is amongst the most interesting prog bands today, and I wouldn't really consider them as My Dying Bride or Paradise Lost alike. I believe you can listen to any of their albums since 1996, the most recommended are 'Judgement', 'Alternative 4' and 'We're Here Because We're Here'. My Dying Bride were quite intersting back in 90's, and had some prog moments, though I wouldn't consider them as a part of prog scene. 'Turn Loose the Swans' is probably their most interesting release. |

Experimental/Post metal. Though they would fit well into crossover prog category as well.

OK I guess that means that Katatonia is not prog so we're done here, everybody go home.

just kidding, since people are talking about my dying bride, anathema and stuff. And I like Paradise Lost. Never heard anything of Anathema and My Dying Bride though. Any good album?

I'm currently wearing an Ada Lovelace tee-shirt, but I do have a Paradise Lost In Requiem long-sleeve somewhere. When did Paradise Lost ever have "a prog touch" ?

I'm wearing my Katatonia shirt right now. Just saying.
What I really love in Katatonia: They are just like some kind of "TheCure Metal". But there's nothing prog about that. The early death/doom days had a prog touch. But not as much as Paradise Lost, and they aren't here.

Been into Katatonia since 2001 and due to some sonic experimentation and 'math' riffing they touched prog/art metal quite often without ever being it. Compare to OSI who take similar experimentation and riffing to a proggier level. The only album that would warrant their inclusion for me would be Brave Murder Day which I consider to be some kind of prog/doom/proto-post hybrid. But Katatonia were rejected some 6 years ago when that album was taken into account but not withheld. |

You can at least be more polite and not revert to personal attacks.
You are also comparing a band that started off as doom/death and moved to gothic/melancholic melodic metal, with some - I will not deny - art/progressive elements (that does not qualify them as "prog") with a band that defined the term progressive metal! |
