But isn't Katatonia called doom metal? This flowchart is inadequate.

Originally they were very much a doom metal band. However, I'd probably call their current sound closer to gothic metal if I had to pick a sub-genre. Then again, I'm not always the best with genres.

This flow chart was made by someone who just discovered metal for the first time, probably like nu-metal up until this point but judging by the font, this was a long time ago and the person is probably old now and hates all metal. Probably made by Bill.
