CD collection is getting stale........

[chrisdoig24k]

Check out Agalloch's The Mantle and Pale Folklore. Its great folk and ambient stuff.

Let's not forget Ashes Against The Grain!
Since you're into Opeth, I'll make you some recs:
Ikuinen Kaamos - The Forlorn. Great, melodic, melancholic, progressive and beautiful death/black from Finland. Quite like Opeth, except a little more black metal.

Ne Obliviscaris - The Aurora Veil. Single best demo in the entire existence of the universe. No genre can do justice to these guys, but at a pinch, you could say progressive black metal with a violin. Except it's a million times better than that makes it sound. Much the same with Ikuinen Kaamos.

Trivium - Ascendency. Revolutionized modern metal. Just joking, lulz, but get the other two above albums! And Agalloch's 'Ashes Against The Grain'!

 

[metal_wrath]

I would recommend

Nightingale

also check out Edge of Sanity and Dan Swano's many other side projects. You will never be at a loss for new music. lol

 

[Obtuse]

I'd definitely recommend Tool. Especially Lateralus.
On another note, obZen is pretty damn spectacular.

 

[themaster]

well if you like a bit of stoner Monster Magnet, or if you like the something really different The Enid

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

"Just The Best Party" by The World/Inferno Friendship Society.

 

[Existenzleid]

Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood

Get "Adultery" by Dog Fashion Disco. It was their last album and probably their greatest.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood

such a godly band/album

 

[Black Session]

if the guy has as much cd's as he claims he does, then he'll probably know almost everything that has been mentioned here ... come on, recommending Tool??? who doesn't know 'em???

 

[Pelle Hå]

Check out the Swedish band Burst. "Origo" and "Prey on life" are two great albums.

Cult of luna aswell, if you like Isis:ish kind of music.

[duvix]

That's why I recommended Thales. Is there a person that knows them?

 

[epihasi]

try some "callisto" (if you don't mind them being a christian band), pretty amazing postcore shit!
if you want some cool shit try some orange goblin, they're pretty sweet.

 

[serenity_painted_death27]

I'm currently loving Every Time I Die and Fear Before the March of Flames. Also check out Mastodon, Sikth, Reuben and Giant Squid if you haven't done

 

[DEMIgOD]

 

[Dead Children Speak No Lies]

Clutch - best rock band on earth.

 

[jrsh92]

The album Believe by Disturbed. It's a bit lighter than the heavy stuff recommended here and heavier than the light stuff on here, and overall it works out amazingly. Guitar that doesn't suck, same with drums and the rest of the music, coupled with actual good lyrics sung by a good singer. Great album.

I disagree, it would be a waste of time to get this album.

I would like to recommend IN MOURNINGs Shrouded Divine, the Opeth-influences may be a tad too obvious but it's a great album.
