What bands has Opeth got you into?

[Apostle In Triumph]

Well, before Opeth, I couldn't stand black, death, or barely even any metal. But now I'm into Darkthrone, Mayhem, Immortal, Edge of Sanity, Mercyful Fate, and Dream Theater. What bands have you gotten into after liking Opeth, well if you didn't like metal before liking Opeth I mean.

 

[JoeVice]

well, i was strictly a metal head before opeth...so, uhhh..... camel, porcupine tree, steve reich, the mars volta, coldplay, ravel, sasha...etc...

 

[Towedwart]

As a direct result of Opeth, none, actually. I even got into Bloodbath by mistake, totally unrelated to Opeth (not knowing Mikael was the signer for it). Was a metalhead before and after.

Same here... opeth got me into death vox. Now im into Bloodbath, Hypocrisy, Immortal, Edge of Sanity.

 

[Godhead's Lament]

Porcupine Tree, Katatonia and Novembers Doom.

I read the favourite of the members and I was like "hm...might be interesting to try some of these out". And I actually liked some of them.

 

[Valerie]

I liked metal before I liked Opeth. But I got into Porcupine Tree from Opeth.

 

[Sadguru]

Porcupine Tree and Camel, obviously.

 

[Kenneth R.]

death metal moreso, and black metal.

also bands recommended on this board as a result of checking the Opeth board for info on the band...

 

[vampyrouss]

Yeah, only really Porcupine Tree. Other bands that Opeth likes that I like were coincidence, but it helps that my brother is into prog so I heard a lot of those influences from him, and the metal ones from other "metal" friends or just knew before I heard of Opeth.

The first time I heard of Opeth was in the back of Cruelty And The Beast by CoF they are in the thanks list I think, but I didn't hear them until a lot later on and had listened to a lot of other bands, but I remember thinking it was a pretty cool name for a band next to Immortal and The Haunted and other bands that were also thanked.

 

[Snyper]

i liked metal before opeth, only bands i can say i got into because of opeth would be many of dan swanos bands

 

[Braighs]

Orphaned Land, Porcupine Tree, Novembers Doom, Katatonia, Ulver.
I just look at suggestions on this board. Opeth only gave me the realization that death vox can be good. I got into prog metal before Opeth.

 

[Tubbs]

Three bands:

Porcupine Tree
Bloodbath
Morbid Angel

There you go.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

Porcupine Tree
Katatonia
Dillinger Escape Plan (because Steve Wilson had a DEP shirt on for the Lamentations documentary )

 

[Prognostic]

i discovered 70s progressive rock, the big names as well as the obscure artists. what the hell happened to the gigantic prog rock thread....

 

[Riryoku]

Nile, first off, plus a plethora of other death metal bands. I absoutely love the stuff.

 

[Pain While Urinating]

Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Nile and basically any form of inaccessible music.

 

[Powers]

I probably wouldn't have been able to stand Emperor without listening to Opeth, now i worship them. They also got me into Burst a bit, because without the tour i just wouldn't have known the existed.

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

Dream Theatre, Katatonia, Bloodbath

 

[Oxyn]

Directly: Porcupine Tree and Katatonia.

Indirectly: Very many.

 

[wwallinga]

all the great roadrunner bands

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

God I hope not.
