Stuff more like Damnation?

[Lateralus14]

Well over the past few months I've been trying to expand my musical interests and right now I'm pretty satisfied with the metal side after buying a bunch of albums from that end of the spectrum, but I've realized some more mellow prog-rock would be nice so I can be deaf in 10 years instead of 5. Currently I'm interested in finding some more mellow progressive stuff(not necessarily devoid of distortion but with all clean vocals) - all I've really been listening to from that area is Opeth's Damnation, most of Porcupine Tree's discography, and A Perfect Circle's two good albums. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Deathspell Omega.

Easy on the mind and ears.

 

[Frodo's Bulk]

paatos - kallocain is probably the closest thing to damnation I can think of

Try Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses.

 

[Heir Apparent]

Nick Drake
Jeff Buckley

 

[Ruun]

[Para Bellum]

Katatonia

Get into the classic prog rock bands. Yes (70's material), King Crimson, Rush, Camel, ect.

 

[Arasmas]

the only 70s prog bands worth checking out are jethro tull, king crimson, and yes (in that order)

+1 to the 70s suggestions, especially King Crimson. +1 on Green Carnation. Also, Ulver's "Kveldssanger" is a pretty sweet acoustic album.

Faust are cool, but they're krautrock.

I hear sir_schwanzelot has a really nice acoustic metal band going. But I guess he is too shy to talk about it

 

[xsxixr xsxcxhxwxaxnxzxexlxoxt]

er wat?

 

[Blackfield]

radiohead-ok computer

 

[Hox]

Do you have amnesia? You released "Sir Schwanzelot's Super Random Retard Acoustic Mellow Tracks, Pt. 1" just a few weeks ago.

 

[Blackfield]

omfg i forgot blackfield!

 

[Junges]

the only 70s prog bands worth checking out are jethro tull, king crimson, and yes (in that order)

You are wrong.

 

[Arasmas]

oh and i guess pink floyd too but i just figured everyone played those albums out when they were 16 like me

Images and Words would be nice choice, artist is obvious and you're not worth it if you don't know it.


Actually I suggest all albums by this band.
