Nope, and anyone who thinks so needs to listen to more doom metal and then Opeth again to hear the contrast. Though a few songs are kinda doomy sometimes. DFN, Wreath, AFJ, Face of Melinda, TNATSW, maybe others. I haven't listened to The Grand Conjuration so I don't know about that.

Totally agreed, saying Opeth is Doom is like saying Knights of the Round Table are Ancient Egyptian.NineFeetUnderground said:
Doom is a FAR slower and has a completely different emotional and musical influence/focus. Doom is a totally different style of music.
As above,. bands like Candlemass, Cathedral, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Unholy (which is more Avantgard Doom) among others.
Opeth are so totally un-doom its not funny... you couldn't get any further from Doom. Opeth has more Death Metal tinges to it, but it's not strictly Death Metal either.
But no, NOWHERE near Doom, not at all.
They have some doomy riffes here and there, most notably on the outro part of
A Fair Judgement (so if you don't know how doom kinda sounds, listen to the last part)
That doesn't make them a doom band. IMHO theyre degressive grey forrest polka metal :Spin:

I'm a very huge doom fans. I'm very much into bands like Morgion, Esoteric, My Dying Bride, Void of Silence, Thergothon, Mar de Grises among others and I can assure you my friend, this statement of yours is just...wrong. "Couldn't get any further from Doom"? WTF? Any power metal, for exemple, is much further from Doom than Opeth. To me, Opeth is NOT a doom metal band, but they certainly drifting into that realm from time to time.

You can't label Opeth...just face it. If you think you can, someone else will have a different label. It's not like we're trying to label Suffocation here.
