A friend of mine who really likes Porcupine Tree is also a huge fan of Skyclad. I personally don't listen to either that much so I can't make a specific recommendation, but it might be worth checking out.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

If you like Dredg and Interpol I'd recommend checking out Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, mewithoutyou, Junius, Blonde Redhead...

I'm sure you'll like at least a couple of those bands.

Not that i dislike those bands at all, but are they really what come to mind when recommending based on what the first guy said?

 

[in_absentia]

Anathema's newer stuff. First and foremost.

Oceansize, the Gathering, Magenta Skycode, perhaps Massive Attack, John Frusciante & Josh Klinghoffer, some Ulver (at least Perdition City), Mew, Espers (great dark folk), Mogwai (a good introduction to the post-rock scene) etc. etc.

I actually like Skyclad more than PT (at least old Skyclad), but that may be because I haven't heard too much PT material yet. I guess I should get myself updated on that.

The Gathering - Mandylion (though everything after that is amazing too)

Their latest, "Home", would be my personal choice right now. But it's true that Mandylion and everything after that album is amazing.

 

[Graft]

oceansize which album?

 

[Kenneth R.]

Everyone Into Position

 

[annt]

Oh yeah and Anathema - Judgement
(and A Fine Day to Exit and A Natural Disaster and Alternative 4)
