I have a rare hour to myself in the house and I popped in my DVD-A version of Porcupine Tree's "Deadwing"..went to "Extras"...to "Notes"... and 4 pages into their bio there is this sentence:

"Porcupine Tree have not only bridged the gap, they've created one of the most rabid followings which include diverse devotees such as touring mates and black metal icons Opeth, Isreali musician Aviv Geffen, and progressive godfathers Yes."


Hmmmmmm.:heh:


edit: Typo

Mike's growls, especially on earlier albums, could count as black metal leanings, but for the most part they are far away from the Norwegian border.
 
I don't want to look like a knob, because what I'm about to say may not be what you were getting at, but, you don't have to be Norwegian to be a Black Metal band. Besides which you're right, the vocals are black metal on Orchid and Morningrise (or not, I can't bothered to argue) but other than that, it's progressive, leaning toward melodic death. Which makes sense, cause if you were a teenage metalhead and musician in late 80's early 90's Sweden, you were probably going to form a melo death band, I feel it's a relativley safe bet anyway.
 
want good black metal, i suggest orphand land's 2004 album "mabool." :cool: it's about jesus and god, so it's pretty much christian metal, but the music is really cool. :)
