I'de HEAVILY recoment Novembre. They're not well know, but they sound like they could be as well known as Opeth cuz they try to perfect they're music production as much as possible. They're death metal (more of Opeth's style and not some silly bru00tal mes) they're really artistic, and they have TONS of soft music that is perfectly blended into the music even more so than Opeth, and they have a Italian feel. DEFINATLY worth listening to, especially their two new albums, Materia (which has almost no growls and takes on a prog. rock feel) and The Blue (a return to their previous sound full of growls and soft parts and singing and a heavier feel).
