Bands every Opeth fan should be exposed to.

[Static-I]

My friend exposed me to both Porcupine Tree and Opeth simultaneously last year, and I love them BOTH so much that I crave exposure to bands that fans of Opeth think are absolutely essential for any CD collection.

(Also: my first post, so hello to all)

 

[Evan84]

Agalloch
Pain of Salvation
Ulver

 

[NeverIsForever]

Katatonia
Anathema
My Dying Bride

 

[Demoke]

Bloodbath
Camel
Tool
Nevermore
Dredg

 

[spigot]

Edge of Sanity
Farmakon

 

[TheButcher]

Novembre
Ayreon
Enslaved

 

[NFU]

i dont agree with quite a few of the recommendations so far....at least not in conjunction with the word "essential". but as far as essential albums in semi relation to Opeth or for Opeth fans:

enslaved
katatonia
ulver
yes
genesis
cynic
morbid angel
king crimson
nick drake
bathory

 

[Demoke]

What makes Nick Drake "essential" then? 'Cos I got his Pink Moon and I don't find that CD so great. I'd like to know from you and from other Opeth fans what you think about Nick Drake.

 

[ViCyniC]

Orphaned Land

 

[NFU]

practically unmatched in his melancholy folk work. especially his "bryter layter" album. not to mention how much of his playing has inspired mikael anyway. thus: essential.
