Extol vs. Opeth

[Funeral Portrait]

Someone once mentioned in a messageboard that they believed if anyone comes close to measuring up to Opeth, it would be Extol. Now...I'm a fan of Extol and all, but I dunno if I really agree with that. What bands do you think could ever come close to Opeth?

 

[Manbient]

hmm...

for overall sound... not much, if any. Some i find to be fucking AMAZING though...

Raison d'Etre
Devil Doll
Shpongle

shut up i AM DURNK

 

[Ermz]

Can't say I've ever heard Extol.

 

[Netheral]

In my opinion Extol never comes close to opeth. Their songs are very complex and interesting but theeir songs have no atmosphere and the riffing is totally different.

Bands coming close to opeth.....hmm.......perhaps Dark Suns a little bit....but only some of their songs

 

[Children of Flames]

Bands close to Opeth are Disarmonia Mundi, Dark Suns and maybe The Provenance. The Old Dead Tree are a bit similar too...
Extol is a bit similar to Death....

 

[no country for old wainds]

Both great bands. Incomparable bands.

 

[phon1c]

Disarmonia Mundi
Dark Suns
The Provenance

Raison d'Etre
Devil Doll
Shpongle

Who are these?!

 

[Alex78]

I like the clean vocals on Synergy a lot, but the heavy riffing isn't that good. they also have some nice solos, though

 

[DreamingofUr]

Awesome! Nobody comes close! There will always be people trying to compare em to these underground acts that only a handfull of people have ever heard. Nobody comes close in my book and nobody ever will because Mikael just seems to be a world apart from everyone!

 

[ControlledChaos]

DreamingofUr is obviously a dope.

anways comparing Extol to Opeth is like apples and oranges, but I'd take Extol for sheer number of album spins. But they're too different to compare. Extol is just as (if not more) talented though.

 

[thebleakaffinity]

Bands close to Opeth are Disarmonia Mundi

Do you know where I could hear more of these guys? I forgot how but I have one of their songs on my hard drive (Burning Cells) and it's really amazing and I would like to get more. Do they have an album or a website or anything?

Duh, thanks. Too bad the rest are only samples. Oh well.

 

[Astral Poetry]

Extol doesn't come close.

Opeth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Extol.

Musically, and thanks to the fact that they're not devoted to illusions.

thank you

end of the thread

 

[LuminousAether]

You say end of thread, I say thread keeps going. It's a quandary. What see we settle with a bit of the proverbial fisticuffs? I bring the banana, you bring the cucumber.

 

[Post_Scriptum]
