What genre of metal would you consider Opeth?

[The Leper Affinity]

Some people say Black metal, some death metal but I think they are melodic death.

You've gotta stick 'progressive' in there somewhere. Progressive melodic death metal, perhaps? A bit of a mouthful.

There's no way that it's black metal. I'll go with Progressive melodic death metal also.

I agree progressive melodic death is a perfect description. You think technical could also be put in their. Melodic progressive technical death metal? nah . I like Prog mel death better
