Katanga is a German goth metal band with both female and male lead vocals. I had the pleasure to talk to male vocalist Mario a while ago. We talked about the bands newly released second album MOONCHILD as well as the line-up changes the band have gone through, why the band sings in both German and English and how he looks upon the bands future amongst other things.
