Opeth is metal, last time I checked.

And *someone* suggested Porcupine tree has death METAL influences. They don't!!!

- blimey, you're being silley again... I mean silly.
Yes they do. In fact I'll give you a link to a video which I think you'd ...enjoy.
Heh. turns out I cant find the video.
 
I really don't get this place sometimes. Steven Wilson has stated on numerous occasions that he is indeed influenced by numerous metal bands, namely Opeth and Meshuggah. Why is that so hard for people to comprehend?

... or did I just miss the sarcasm... again.... ?
 
i remember reading an interview with mike akerfeldt and he talked about how he puts a few pocupine tree influences into his music, and that steven wilson in return puts a few opeth influences into his music too. just listen to arriving somewhere but not here at about 6:56 and you can definitely hear the metal influences.

but porcupine tree is definitely not a progressive metal band. they are a progressive rock band with a few metal elements thrown in here and there.
