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

[Lothlorien]

If it's not Opeth, I don't like it.

shallow, shallow, shallow, give into me give into me.

 

[BlüdDisörder]

Opeth is the only band I listen to. In fact, the only song I listen to is The Grand Conjuration.

 

[Risquit]

I will pimp these bands until everybody in the world (maybe even the bands themselves?) hates me. Ne Obliviscaris and Ikuinen Kaamos.

Ne Obliviscaris sounds really nice.

 

[opeth_353]

Yeah.. I forgot to say i checked them out - sounded very nice indeed!

You better have checked out Vehementer Nos.. Or i'ma come atchu wit' ma pick axe!

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Good to hear you've checked them out! I did my audition for them on Sunday and I think it went quite well!
I did check out Vehementer Nos. Only once so far, but it sounds very promising!

 

[WarLord Aden]

I like quite a wide variery in music, except anything that is mainstream/talentless crap...

Some of my favourite bands other than Opeth:

Wintersun
Symphony X
Dream Theater
Devin Townsend/SYL
Nile

I love orchestral music too, and ambient kind of stuff.

Basically i can get into anything ranging from the most beautiful Orchestral music to the most brutal death metal...

 

[schism09]

Agalloch owns

 

[Awake_In_Animosity]

I will add my two cents worth here: Daylight Dies, Agalloch, Ihsahn, Sagh, "I", Between the Buried and Me, Be'lakor (from Melbourne mates with Ne O, Check out the frail tide), Alcest, Bloodbath, Naglfar and Borknagar. I tried to mention bands that have not been mentioned or need to be mentioned again due to greatness like Daylight Dies oh and Daylight Dies...ok bye for now.

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Be'lakor win.

 

[BlessedAreTheSick]

No idea why the two weakest songs on BMD are always recommended. 12, Endtime and Brave are FAR superior in my opinion!

 

[DEMIgOD]

i think i already posted in this thread.. but whatever.

if you like Opeth, and want something similar, thats just as engageing.

Check out Ulver, Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Akercocke, Enslaved. period.

Radiohead is my third favorite band though, after Opeth. (first being black sabbath) so im not sure if that means anything... Check out Ok Computer.

All the songs on BMD are very good, but Murder and Rainroom are better well constructed than Endtime and 12 imo. And about Brave...yes it is as good as those i recommended.

 

[metal_wrath]

Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Dream Theater, Neil Young, The Mars Volta, Led Zeppelin, Muse, Cradle Of Filth, Pride an Glory, Anathema, Dillinger Escape Plan, Greenday, Martyr

 

[all_sins_undone]

Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Dream Theater, Neil Young, The Mars Volta, Led Zeppelin, Muse, Cradle Of Filth, Pride an Glory, Anathema, Dillinger Escape Plan, Greenday, Martyr

 

[Godhead59]

These are all the bands I listen to:
Aerosmith, Agalloch, Amon Amarth, Anthrax, Blackfield, Black Sabbath, Bloodbath, Dark Tranquillity, Deep Purple, Devin Townsend (and Band), Diamond Head, Draconian, Eagles, Edge of Sanity, Ensiferum, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Evile, Exodus, Haggard, Hollenthon, Hypocrisy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Katatonia, Korpiklaani, Megadeth, Metallica, Motörhead, Novembers Doom, Opeth, Pagan's Mind, Porcupine Tree, Poets of the Fall, Raintime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Saturnus, Simon & Garfunkel, Skid Row, Smashing Pumpkins, Solitude Aeturnus, Swallow the Sun, The Fall of Every Season, Therion, Wintersun.

Those that in bold are the ones that may have some similarity to Opeth in that there's both clean and growling vocals as well as some memorable melodies and acoustic/non-distorted guitars. After all, it's hard to find a band that's similar to Opeth.
