Bands like opeth - ignore if ur tired of these

[Juggie]

I know theres been posts like this but ive always ignored them becuause all i wanted was opeth, but what other bands are similer too it, only one i can find is soul forlorn, fuckin a. I have 3 of katatonias cd's and they dont sound anything like opeth but they are good. so any thoughts?

Decoryah
Voivod seems to have some similarities
Sinkadus
Primordial (somewhat, moreso than vintersorg for sure!)


I'd give more that aren't listed, but my mind is in a state of decay due to this ungodly hour.......

I heard a track on the new BW&BK comp CD from a band called Decadawn who were VERY Opeth-esque. It was a demo track, but there may be something on Audiogalaxy or something.

Abba should reunite and get with the times, get a bit of prog death metal into their music, shock the world into hibernation... CHANGE IS GOOD.

I quickly gave up even attempting to find bands like Opeth, because I know none exist. IMO, they are unique - I listen to their music, and it's just on another level. Sure, you can pull their music apart into a million pieces, and then compare each piece with another band, but at the song level, I find it impossible to do with Opeth.

Maybe in the broadest of spectrums, you could categorize them with others, but I think they would still distance themselves from others. Uniqueness is a quality very few bands have, and Opeth is one of them.

At this particular moment, I am struggling with naming other unique bands.

Borknagar

non-metal :

Anekdoten (highest recommendations)
Camel
Anglagard (but check them out before buying)
