What other bands

Well, hate to say this but Opeth and Katatonia is still one of a kind...like yester day and any other day this question has come up.

But if you'd like to have som other bands to mix up with I strongly recommend:

Agalloch
Sculptured
Novembre
October Tide
Rotting Christ
 
Dark Tranquillity
Maudlin of the Well
Isis
Neurosis
Anathema
Porcupine Tree

Just to name a few. :)
 
Darkane
Soilwork
The Defaced (Which includes members of Darkane & Soilwork)
Neurosis
Type O Negative
Shadows Fall
The Haunted

Just stay away from "St. Anger" by Metallica - It's the worst fucking excuse for a metal album this century.

Metal Fuckin' Roooooools

The Loveless - Star Rover.(their debut out on Euphonious/Prophecy Prod.)
you'll love every second of it.

YES. I do think "Martyre" by Saturnus is marginally better however, both amazing though. I take it you know that all the members of The Loveless were in Saturnus when "Martyre" was released.

How about The Old Dead Tree? What do you guys think?

Yes, absolutely The Old Dead Tree!!! they are absolutely great.

and what about Daylight Dies, they are also influenced by Katatonia.

I discovered the band The Provenance recently. They are awesome. They sounded a bit like Opeth and MDB, only there is a female vocals in it (and ofcourse grunt).
