Yeah man, I actually was listening to mostly Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Origin, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, Zyklon, etc... and THEN I discovered Opeth. And what I love about them is that they provide all of the elements I like to hear in music - they can be brutal, which I love, but y'know, sometimes you want to mellow out (which is why I like bands such as Porcupine Tree and Radiohead), and they do THAT just as well! To me, that versatility is what makes them a great band, and the interplay between crushing and delicate is what I identify with in their music.
