Katatonia is a Swedish doom metal band formed in Stockholm in 1991 by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström, even though they are somewhere between underground and mainstream but this particular band is supposed to be an underground band normally according to their spirit and nature.

Katotonia or Catotonia is a psychiatric condition often associated with schizophrenia. 

It is characterized by a general absence of motor activity or violent, hyperactive behavior. The word "Catatonia"  is also a Greek word for low tone, undertone, or commonly down-tempo.

Heraclitus, 500 BC.was an ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosopher from the city of Ephesus, which was then part of the Persian Empire.

Little is known of Heraclitus's life. His paradoxical philosophy and appreciation for wordplay and cryptic, oracular epigrams has earned him the epithets "the dark" and "the obscure" since antiquity. 

He was considered arrogant and depressed, a misanthrope who was subject to melancholia. Consequently, he became known as "the weeping philosopher" in contrast to the ancient philosopher Democritus, who was known as "the laughing philosopher".

The central idea of Heraclitus' philosophy is the unity of opposites and the concept of change. He also saw harmony and justice in strife. He viewed the world as constantly in flux, always "becoming" but never "being". 

He expressed this in sayings like panta rhei ("Everything flows") and "No man ever steps in the same river twice." 

This changing aspect of his philosophy is contrasted with that of the ancient philosopher Parmenides, who believed in "being" and in the static nature of reality.

Like the Milesians before him, Thales with water, Anaximander with Apeiron, and Anaximenes with air, Heraclitus chose fire as the archer, the fundamental element that gave rise to the other elements. He also saw the logos as giving structure to the world.

I added the track 'The Edge of Knife' taken from the band  Jag Panzer's new album The Hollowed to their imaginary album on this website 'Initiation Into Reality' recently.

I also watched their short doc. film  'Tales From The Hallowed'

I'm nobody's fan because ı'm a little bit too much to be someone's fan but there's some good underground music out there that ı like and good underground bands that ı love to follow.
