Recommend me some Emotional Death Metal

[Zephyrus]

Well I heard a lot of death metal before I heard Opeth, and it is clear how Opeth appeals to death metal fans.

If it appeals to death metal fans that just means that the death metal fans that listen to it have an open mind not because it sounds like death metal.

 

[Zephyrus]

I will admit that you made me want to listen to Deliverance now though. I'll listen to it later on tonight.

Cool. And thanks for the discussion, they always keep my mind sharp.

Read my post again about why I made the reccomendation.

I could very well be wrong about Opeth being any so death metal, but making the reccomendation was logical.

Also read dodens post right after yours.

 

[Zephyrus]

This is great.

Edit: No, the point of this thread was "emotional" Death Metal, not "emotional" Metal that you think a Death Metal fan might like.

Let's just say I was thinking outside the box.

There's nothing wrong with reccomending something that doesn't quite fit the criteria given, just as long as you're confident that the reccomendee might like it.

I don't have a problem with your recommending them, I just think it's odd that you personally (as well as others) would categorize them as some form of Death Metal.

Please explain to me why you think Opeth are NOT at all related to death metal.

 

[skeptik]

A couple people already have...the only "tie" that they actually do have is occasional growls.

OK, if they're not death metal, then are they just prog? Is that even a genre in and of itself?

Opeth have wayyy to much Electronics to be considered traditional Death Metal.

 

[Impudent]

Electronics?

I actually listened to Deliverance last night haha. Great album btw.

 

[Impudent]

"Deliverance" was one of my first metal albums and one that helped bring me over to metal, so I respect it for that.

Akercocke

Their last two albums have been an awesome hybrid of black/death/prog.

Anyone gonna answer my question?
