Jonas Petter Renkse (born 19 May 1975) is a founding member, songwriter, lead vocalist (1991–1994, 1997-) and ex-drummer (1991–1994, 1996–1998) of the band Katatonia,[2][3] founding member, songwriter, bassist, backing vocalist, ex-guitarist (2004) of the band Bloodbath[4] and member of Sailors With Wax Wings.[5] He was also the founding member, drummer, vocalist, guitarist & songwriter of the band October Tide.[6]
In 1995 Katatonia was put on a halt due to not having a suitable lineup, and Renske subsequently decided to form October Tide.
In 1996, Jonas' performance of death vocals had taken its toll such that by 1997 he would only sing. By 1998, Renske decided he would focus strictly on vocals and abandon drums.
Renkse wanted to guest on The Ocean's album, Precambrian but due to Katatonia's touring schedule during the production, The Ocean was not able to approach him on time.
Jonas Renkse has a son,[7] and is best friends with singer Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth.[8][9]
