Bands similar to Opeth?

[Black Dragon]

ARK!!??!???!?!?!??!??!??!???!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?....?!?!?


!? wtf? Proggish maybe, not opethian at all.

anyway. Checked out Asguat. great stuff, vocalist's death vox can be annoying though.

Sound nothing like Opeth; but, excellent nonetheless: Extol. Opeth and Extol share many of the same qualities, IMO.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

[opethwundi]

maybe katatonia brave murder day album because it's mike who did the vocals

 

[Static]

Katatonia, Maudlin of the Well (even better than Opeth imo), Dissection, Edge of Sanity, October Tide, Vintersorg.

None of them much like Opeth, just all are awesome.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Heh....MOTW, you either love 'em or hate 'em.

Latter for me.

 

[Static]

If you love em, you really really love em though.

 

[Dark Life Dying]

Another band that doesn't really sound like Opeth, but have a similar thing going on (they have a unique sound) is: Dreamscapes of the Perverse
They're really worth checking out if you like prog.black metal

 

[OzzOzbourne]

One thing about novembre.. Giuseppe really plays those drums?! can't believe.. anyone seen novembre live gig? i'm talking about album "Dreams d'Azur" huh.. but band is awesome.

 

[Episteme]

Novembre is one of the best things I've heard in ages! Thank you people!

Check The Old Dead Tree - The Nameless Disease...

One of the most impressing releases this year for me. And a little smiliar to Opeth

I just recently bought My Dying Bride's TURN LOOSE THE SWANS (yeah, yeah, I know.... I should have already had it for a while, but I just never got around to buying it), and I have to say that although the album doesn't sound exactly like Opeth, there are some very similar techniques and ideas going on there... Highly recommended for those that haven't already picked it up.

 

[Anarkissed]

'scuse me for diggin up an old post...

Aight, this as been mentioned many a time but the cloesest band i've heard that sounds anything like Opeth is in this song called 'The Withering Process' that some dude posted here a while back.

Anyone remember who it was? I'd be interested to hear another song by that band, if they have any.
