Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm currently finishing a new Katatonia compilation which I'm even more proud of. I'm waiting for their new album to drop out so I can make a final list. Stay tuned!
Katatonia holds something in their music, regardless of the form its delivered in it still pulls from the same point in the soul. Thank you for this contribution to their work, revealing a new angle.
Doesn't matter how much I try, words just are not enough to describe how much Katatonia means for me and this is plain beautiful. THANK YOU for the music. Definitely buying it.
I will never understand.... it´s been 5 months since you are gone Gerardo.... MISS YOU SO MUCH MY FRIEND, my partner in crime in Katonia Followers page. Miss you.
As a diehard Katatonia fan this is not only breathtaking but an incredible accurate portrayal of some of their best material! - Whilst retaining the overall mood & vibes they have always strove to convey within their art. Sweet Nurse is one of my all time favourites, so naturally I was ecstatic when you decided to select it for your excellent piano work. Well done!!!
I'm more of an old katatonia fan, not really into their moden stuff, but I can't help to be mesmerized by the sheer beauty of this. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of music.
Nothing make sense anymore for me after I listened to this.How can I still be alive after I felt this kind of pleasure,why I didnt die?It is pointless living beyond the pleasure because it sucks all of your life from you,and it's leaving you with nothig.The more pleasure I fell,the harder it gets for me to live. What a great thing have you done sir!Sorry for my bad english,im not an former speaker
I can't speak highly enough of this. This is appropriate to the song themselves, near identical iterations, and the accentuations on the notes are accurate. A+.
Dude, this is awesome!! I love Katatonia, it's my favorite band and I'm studying classical piano at the conservatory. You have a masterful technique. You should make an album with your own themes, too. Cheers!!
Superb! Amazingly surprised by how close this is to the real feeling Katatonia prints to their sound. Normally, something is always lost when compiling music to acoustic versions even by the bands their self. You beautifully kept the essence and you made it further by compiling it to piano. Katatonia is not my favorite music style but consider those an amazing band and you made a fantastic tribute. Congratulations
More often than not, instrumental covers are just good. They sound ok in the instrument they are being played in. And man is this not the case... you really captured the essence of what is being conveyed in each song. It feels as if it was being played by an all-time Katatonia member. It is that amazing. Thank you.
Presavršeno! Ne mogu da verujem da je neko uzeo ovo da uradi. I to baš Katatoniu. Svaka čast čoveče, ako nisam 3 puta cmizdrela na sve ovo. A nisam na njihovom koncertu!
Thank you, just thank you. The most beautiful albums I have ever heard. My mother once told me that piano pulls at the strings of our heart and brings out emotions in us that we never knew we had. Again... thank you.
Nikola ... Desde México, un muy profundo agradecimiento, por hacer nuestros sentimientos hacia todas y cada una de estas melodías! ... notas hermosas de piano! ... A Darkness Coming ... Majestuosa
!!!!!!!!!!!......So nice, thank you for share with us. I Love Classic Music, it was the beginning of the Music we had Today. The Music of Katatonia it's for me the perfect Mix of Classic and Rock Music. The Nordic Melancholy gives the last Sequences to make me again and again happy while i listen. The Ballads are so Soultouching, and i never get bored to listen over a Decade and longer. You, NiKola....you give me the same good Feeling only with the Piano. Well doing, supernice, perfect Playing, beautyful Pianosound, Powerfull and Sensibel in the same Time. Thank you, it is ....... how i can say? Maybe i find the Word when i listen often. I am touched!!!! My English is bad, i hope you understand what i want tell you
I just cant find a good word because katatonia is mean a lot to me. I and my friends grow up on this so this is an unexpected gift for all of us. Thank you.
Congratulations on getting this done. This must have been a huge amount of work to do and then get approved to release. A grand milestone for your career I am sure. Very happy for you!
No idea how i found Katatonia but when I did I was floored by the musicianship and just overall compositions. The way you interpreted them proved me right. Good work.
I just love Katatonia and i just love the sound of piano! It perfectly express the deep melancholy of the band, but it feels like sorrow got separated from suffering through piano's voice, it is able to elevate it, to make it pure, just like you felt happy for being sad. Your work is so precious, thank you!
Beautiful peace and Solid Pure Positive energy .... Thank You for being You and sharing Your Alchemy With the world... KATATONIA is definitely inspiring as a listener and a musician. Bleed the ears & inspire the heart. ~Sp~
My favorite band in the world. How many other metal bands have classically trained pianist interpreting this much relatively unknown (to the masses) music? This is phenomenal. Thank you.
Journey Through Pressure gave me goosebumps.. The energy of the piano in that song made me chill the freak out. It was like meant to played by such instrument All credits to the player ! Well done !
Every time I listen to this compilation and want to say something I find myself out of words and with a lump in my throat. Incredibly beautiful. I hope to see you performing this live someday. Thank you so much for what you are doing.
Thank you very much for the kind words. :) I have performed this album in its entirety couple of times, there are clips on my channel. Hopefully when this is all over I get to perform again! Kind regards
Svaka čast odlično. Odavno sam video da si ovo uradio ali nikako da poslušam sad mi se slušala Katatonia pa sam uzeo i ovo da čujem i nemam reći. Bravo
Yesterday I watched your announcement video of this album and excited too much. When i got the notification, it really made me happy, so I said that to myself, I should listen to that in a peaceful mood. Now I'm just alone on a calm hill, it's really cold here for a summer night and you made my night Nikola. Thank you so much. This is not for just a little community, this is one of the best renditions in music history. Regards 😇 Edit: Please add a New Night cover on further projects.
You’re 100% correct about katatonia’s music being suitable for piano. This is top notch stuff my man. I’d say it’s better than most of the more “traditional” katatonia covers i’ve heard. Keep it up!
sitting here feeling the crescendo of a phenibut buzz listening to this and chills are just coursing through me... how amazing... the pic is wonderful too!
Well, Nikola I'm like you a fan of Katatonia, and This is so perfect believe me, when I hear this I automally singing and imagine a place like "Grey park" wonderful job I'm glad to find this and put it in my fav list as Katatonia, Greetings from Venezuela and a big hug, Keep going this please lml♥ Sorry for my english isn't my native language
Thanks a bunch mate. My day has started quite ordinary and boring, but the last 52 minutes is something hard to express. I didn't expect your work to be "this good". Well over expectations... Keep up the good work!
I cannot stop listening to this album while working. I haven't found anything like this related to other bands similar to Katatonia, which I love. Some of the versions interpreted here are mindblowing, like the instrumental from Discouraged Ones, My Twin, and Journey Through Pressure. Keep up the good work and surprise us with more piano versions of amazing bands. Thank you so much.
Second edition of my Katatonia piano renditions:
ruclips.net/video/xhBDgk7UGFs/видео.html
Both editions are amazing. Waiting for the third edition!
Can you publish the sheet music of your transcription? Didn't you ever think of that?
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm currently finishing a new Katatonia compilation which I'm even more proud of. I'm waiting for their new album to drop out so I can make a final list. Stay tuned!
I found this comment by chance after listening to the new singles. This is amazing! Keep it up :)
Gorgeous THX
Great news! Can't wait to hear that. You're incredible! :)
@@Alexandra-vr6jk Uploaded it yesterday, feel free to take a listen. Cheers!
@@cvekler Thank you! Amazing stuff!
Well done. Katatonia just shared this, too. They love it as much as we do!
Over 10k views! Thank you everybody for giving such a positive feedback, it is greatly appreciated!
Nikola Cvetković This is great, please can you cover some of The Fall Of Hearts? I'd love to hear that aswell :)
Thank you sooo much for this!!! bought it via Bandcamp... 100% Support for your Art!
Man I'm pretty sure you also covered For My Demons, Teargas among others. Why not integrate them all in this album?
And I second the guy asking to covering something from TFOH. Sistere maybe? Pretty please!
Can't tell when, but will probably do something from the latest album at some point.
И этому шедевру уже 5 лет, почему услышал только сейчас, ШИКАРНО, в коллекцию, спасибо огромное за это
За the future of speech отдельно спасибо 🙏🏻
Love it! Katatonia is my favorite band.
I am nothing made me cry. Cried for an hour straight. Beautiful!

@@silverdreams03 I am sorry for your loss.
@@eduardorodrigueztoledo5512 Did Gerardo commit suicide?
@@qwerty975 I don't know.
Bravo from Greece...Katatonia for ever...!!!
Between this and the Opeth compilation I am blown away. Thanks for the beautiful music!
I'm an Opeth fanatic but don't know this band.
@@fcamiola They are worth checking out. Mikael also provided vocals in their 2nd album.
У меня мурашки по коже побежали , как же потрясающе! Обожаю The Future of speech , нереально звучит!🎉

Not only is this guy amazingly talented, he's also super nice and helpful to fellow musicians. Thank you Nikola!
The future of Speech was astonishing.Great playing!
Amazing. Helps us realize how brilliant Anders and Jonas are
Magnificent work, Discouraged Ones is underrated. Thank you for making this.
Well, it was a very unusual album for the year it came out. Many of us were definitely not ready for that!
it is one of their best, if not the best imo
There's a reason why I've been following you on youtube for nearly a decade.
I'm more of an old katatonia fan, not really into their moden stuff, but I can't help to be mesmerized by the sheer beauty of this. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of music.
Well i dont have words enough. Just keep doing stuff like this please!
2, 5 and 6 are absolute divine covers (not listened whole album yet), is it possible to buy this album? Or should i mail you?
for now, please drop me an e-mail over at nikopiano@gmail.com for more details! thank you

What a great thing have you done sir!Sorry for my bad english,im not an former speaker
I like the place where this music takes me. So deep..brittle..dark..inspirational...full of blood.
Piano plus Katatonia, my dreams came true. Thanks Nikola! Please add it on Spotify!

from one cvetkovic to another in Australia - pretty awesome keep it coming!! Cheers from Bob Cvetkovic.
Simply beautiful.
I saw the title and went - "Hm, I don't think that's gonna be good". Gave it a shot and - wow! Delightful! Great job, man!
Brilliant album. So glad that I discovered it.
OMFG... this is beyond words.
You know you did great when even Katatonia themselves saw your video and were impressed enough to share on their Facebook and Twitter. This is great!
Loved it! Absolutely beautiful. Cheers from Argentina.
