altars of madness
- Thread starter the opeth affinity
- Start date
Nico
Onward!
Ulver - Bergtatt (similar styles, similar times)
Bathory (definitely pioneered the acoustic interludes and heavy/soft dynamics)
Possessed - Seven Churches (weren't Opeth a Possessed tribute band to start off with?)
I'd also say anything from Morbid Angel's Covenant could be pretty convincingly swapped with Master Apprentices (or at least the intro) with little to no discernable change.
Probably more, but, meh.

Black Session
Heretic Misanthrope
Has Ulver changed recently? Because the only album I've listened to is their latest one, and I actually can't understand why anyone would like that ...
Dreadful
When Man& Machine Collide
People think that "altars of madness" is the album to get since Mikael mentioned it...fact is, I'm sure they're influenced by that album in some way (it really is good)...but the riffs from Covenant and Domination are the riffs that inspired Master's Apprentices, A fair judgement (the end of it).
As for Bathory, I don't know how many of you like rawer more old school black metal...so we'll skip the first two albums right now. Get the subsequential 3..."under the sign of the black mark" "blood fire death" and "hammerheart."
Ulver "Bergtatt" and "Kveldssanger" for all that folky acoustic lushness.

I agree with Dreadful especially get your hands on a copy of Hammerheart. "One Rode To Asa Bay" is an all time classic. You can see how Bathory influenced not only Swedish bands like Opeth, In Flames and the like but the second wave of Norwegian black metal as well.
If you haven't heard any Celtic Frost try To Mega Therion (Opeth did a cover of "Circle of the Tyrant" on MAYH).
Hear where it all started...

Altars is one of the greatest death metal albums of all time, it's one of my favorite Morbid Angel albums.the opeth affinity said:

Yeah having heard their other early stuff (Blessed, Covenant) I think Dave's vocals are at their most evil on Altars, before he went kinda cookie. Also the production makes you feel like you're at a gig and they're blasting awayblack_tooth_grin said:Altars is one of the greatest death metal albums of all time, it's one of my favorite Morbid Angel albums.
