Bands like Opeth

[livingtodie]

I've been getting into a lot of Opeth lately. Their acoustic sections are
so fucken amazing! I've been wondering if there are other bands like
them that does acoustic mid-sections. It doesn't really have to be
acoustic mid-sections, it could be ambient, classical, or maybe just
some chanting or even electronic. I like these bands that are versatile and
add a hint of creativity and experimentalism. thanks for any suggestions.

 

[Birkenau]

Agalloch and Novembre

 

[Funeral Portrait]

Woods of Ypres

 

[MasterOLightning]

Agalloch. Start with The Mantle. If you like early Opeth, listen to Ulver - Bergtatt.

 

[The Grimace]

there are no bands like opeth they are avant-garde and wholly unique

 

[circus_brimstone]

Novembers Doom.

 

[Sadguru]

The Provenance

 

[Necro Joe]

Scythe are pretty similar to them, though I'd say not as good.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Farmakon are basically an inferior clone. I wouldn't hunt them down.

 

[Life Sucks]

Arcane Sun have acoustic sections too. They are a doom metal band, but you would probably still like them.

You stole my response.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Try Borknagar maybe

 

[no country for old wainds]

Ad Hominem

Any idiot with half a brain would like Arcane Sun. Their lone album makes all of Opeth's output look like fucking Warrant in comparison.

I should really check them out.
