Other Favorite Bands Besides our #1 Opeth =)

^the singer of Dream Theater is what pisses me off. He sucks and they need to get someone living in this era and not the 80s.

I agree. Although I don't think it's LaBrie's style that bothers me, but rather the timbre of his voice. He's tolerable on the albums, but live he's just awful. And of course there's the arrogance factor. The keyboard player seems like the only one in the band who can accept that his shit can stink.
 
#1 - Opeth (of course)

then in no order
Agalloch
bloodbath
At the Gates
Emperor
Katatonia
Daylight Dies
many more but the above is what ive been listening to heavily lately.
 
I would kill some dead babies to see them live, but they aren't coming anywhere close to the southeast. Fucking bible belt ruining my chances to see one of the greatest death metal bands ever.

wow that sucks, im catching them july 14 in San Antonio! :headbang: I head bang twice as hard for you bro.
 
1. Pain of Salvation
2. Porcupine Tree
3. Opeth
4. King Crimson
5. Yes
6. Pink Floyd
7. Everything else

Scar Symmetry
Soilwork
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Dark Tranquillity
Katatonia
Bloodbath

Yes, I love Daylight Dies. And thier new one absolutely kills, although I'm not supposed to have heard it yet.
