If you like Opeth, what other bands do you like???

[chrisdoig24k]

Enslaved, When Day Descends, Agalloch, try Ulver's albums "Bergtatt" and "Kveldssanger" and possibly their more recent stuff, Alcest, Neurosis, Cult Of Luna, Mono, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Moonsorrow.

Nice list. Bergtatt is a desert island album for me!

Enslaved, Meshuggah, Kotiteollisuus, Tenhi, Deathspell Omega, Code, Neurosis, Porcupine Tree, Massive Attack, Indukti, Gojira, Morbid Angel, Akercocke, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Katatonia, Mokoma, Stam1na, Mastodon, In Flames, Pain of Salvation, Radiohead, Sikth, Shining, Bloodbath, Cannibal Corpse, Between The Buried And Me, Amorphis, Fear Factory, Extol, Jesu, Sixteen Horsepower, Apocalyptice, Deftones, Portishead, Frantic Bleep, Sentenced, Tool, Aeon, Emperor, Devin Townsend stuff, Muse, Machine Head, A Perfect Circle... etc.

i'd rather just.. take ulver with me, with all their equipment.. So they could play live shows for me for all eternity..

Definately check out Camel and Comus, as they are two of the main Opeth's influences. Also check out Morbid Angel for the heavy deliverance-esque sound.

I also like Novembre, older In Flames and Edge Of Sanity but generally I'm into "softer" music, like newer Anathema and Katatonia, Nightingale, Sigur Ròs...

..Very in depth list, but still a load of suggestions that are hardly apt given what was asked for.

I agree with Deathspell, code, Tenhi, Mastodon, Shining, Jesu, Tool and Emperor.. Devin Townsend, whilst i'm not too into him.. Is probably a good one to check out.

 

[Liquid Tension]

Pain of Salvation is my recomendation due to the emotional intensity they offer just like Opeth...

Ah, missed the "...that may have a touch of their style." part in the first post.

I second this, although there are long breaks when I just can't listen to PoS. And be sure to avoid their latest album, that one sucks.

 

[Burnout]

Quo Vadis, Arsis, Gojira, Nevermore, later Death (Human onward), Augury, Riverside, Orphaned Land, Agalloch and so on. Back to Times of Splendor by Disillusion is an amazing album too.

I haven't heard too much Enslaved, but Isa and Below The Lights are both killer.

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Listen to Ne Obliviscaris if you haven't already. Quite similar to Opeth in musical depth, as well as the fact that they play proggy death/black metal, with a non-gimmicky violin.

Besides Opeth, Katatonia gets the most spins in my cd player... Great, great band.

this man wins. period.

But I don't want to

 

[opeth_353]

Tough shit, brah.

 

[tchocky]

Aphex twin, whilst awesome.. Is hardly the sort of recommendation i'd give.

I know. But I thought I'd throw it out there to see what people made of it.

 

[kobold]

DevilDriver, Nile, Children of Bodom, Deicide.

I REALLY need to broaden what i listen to but i never seem to get much chance and when i do it's very often Opeth.

 

[opeth_353]

..Sorry.. but the second you mentioned devildriver.. I almost cried.

Then i just burst into tears at the mention of CoB.

 

[GraveyardVision]

^ yeah.. COB ? come on ...
try Riverside, Agalloch
also The Old Dead Tree

 

[opeth_353]

If we're mentioning electronic stuff - Venetian Snares.. Specifically, their album "Rossz Csillag Alatt Szulettet".

Vehementer Nos! I keep on trying to inform everybody of this band but no one seems to take any notice. I shit you not - they're fucking amazing!
