I can't believe people feel they have something to prove by caring. NO ONE CARES, YOU ARE NOT EXTRA SPECIAL FOR KNOWING WHAT "REAL" DEATH METAL IS.

Exaxtomundo. That's what I tell people when they ask me what style Opeth play. I can't really think of a better description.

It is a Jackson Kelly, and I like it quite a lot myself
Mine is a custom though, I've got the EMG 81-85 (Zakk Wylde) set on it and I've changed the pickup switch and volume knob positions for better playing
What other guitars do you have?

And by it you mean the band or the genre description?
Doesn't matter really, I agree with you on both

Well I have the aforementioned Kelly, a Gibson Les Paul custom and a Fender Jazzmaster(both given to me by my dad), a Gibson Firebird Studio, and two Harmony acoustic guitars. I also have 6 basses

extreme metal is becoming more and more united ... black metalbands with death influences or viking influences or doom influences ... or death bands with black influences, and so on .....
opeth combine a lot of genres, but death metal certainly is one of them, and an important one! ... also even on ghost reveries there are a couple of black metal riffs ...
oh well, it's all simply extreme metal ... the division between genres is fading more and more ... even with those bands who were once considered typical of one certain genre ...
but saying that opeth has nothing to do with death metal is really stupid!

If someone asked me "Aren't Opeth that death metal band from sweden?" I wouldn't try to correct them saying "no, actually Opeth is a Prog-BM-DM-Jazz-Symphonic-Band" or something. They get the point, and if in doubt why not just say Extreme Metal or just plain Metal?
My brother said it best when we were talking about this, the only good reason for genres in music is so that Pop CD's don't get mixed with DM CD's in a record shop.
Who cares if Opeth aren't strictly DM, if they are on a shelf with Cannibal Corpse I know it isn't going to be an RnB CD. Its probably not supposed to be there, since most CD places have them in alphebetical order and Opeth begins with O, but you know what I mean.

united isnt the word i would use. more like "out of ideas".

one good thing about this, the passage of time has forced bands to rely less on shock value as alot of black and death metal bands tend to do. they're now forced to rely more on skilled musicianship if they want any measure of success commercial or otherwise. but just to be petty, opeth is not death metal, it's just music.
