Music with a similar sound to Opeth's "Damnation"?

[EVH316]

Kenneth pwns you, newb! GTFO!

Anyone that uses the terms 'pwns' and 'newb' deserves to be castrated. How old are you? 12?

Sorry Kenneth I didn't see your suggestions there so I've deleted the accusation, however I'm still right re: Katatonia based upon the point I made above.

PIG DESTROYER SOUNDS LIKE DAMNATION.

You're all a bunch of cunts.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

And the two before that!

Yeah, both are essential purchases. the only reason I didn't suggest them was because they're less similar to Damnation. But great records. Definately an underrated band. I wish that they would re-record some of the Eternity material (Angelica, Far Away etc) now that Vinnie can actually sing, rather than just warble kinda off key.

shut up its not funny.

 

[Astral_Mindform]

Yeah, any prog rock band. Damnation is one Opeth's worse albums though, you should try getting into a better one. I suggest Orchid or My Arms, Your Hearse.

Really dude, is that neccesary?

 

[cuntface]

hey chris would strangland go down well in this forum?

 

[affinityband]

probably not.

 

[cuntface]

arent they a bit like porc tree and camel? its prog still

 

[ahnkou]

damnation rules...its beautiful, i wish more bands would get into that sort of mellow, technical acoustic stuff. One of my favorite Opeth albums easy. lookin forward to another one like that in the future! good thread....except for all of page 2 :|

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Ok, I might get flamed for this, but I was thinking about it. While there are no real surface similarities, if you want a record with softer songs that are expansive, interesting, progressive and melodic, where the musicianship is top-notch, there is a band feel, and there are floods of emotion, you could always try 'From The Choirgirl Hotel' by Tori Amos.

Trust me, you won't regret it

 

[Kenneth R.]

she rocks indeed.

mh...lol@recommending pink floyd - division bell. also, i wonder why nick drake was recommended here. i think he really cant be compared to damnation.

This is kind of the opposite question, but I'm in a really acousticy mood. What's some music that's similar to the acoustic parts of Opeth songs NOT on Damnation...i.e. their older acoustic sections? Classical, folk, instrumental, all that. Preferably not as part of metal albums. Thanks for any suggestions.

Three holes are better than one

Antimatter - Planetary Confinement.
Ulver - Kveldssanger

I think Meshuggah sounds something like that. Theyd be good if they werent so darn repetitive.

Damnations songs are short and repetitive.
