What would you say...

[Kushantaiidan]

What would you say is the most similar band to opeth?

Novembre? Katatonia? Agalloch? Empyrium? Thales?? Mariah Carey??? Hammering Moss????

 

[Crimson Death]

Primordial

 

[YaYo]

Uhhhhhh

Thales

Even though i think Thales lack the variety (in song structure) of Opeth. But they are the closest.

In fact Orchid wasnt that varied an album, so if Thales first album is like that it will be very similar.

 

[Devilish monster from the hill]

I would say Agalloch and Katatonia are the most similliar from the bands you wrote, oh! yeah...and Hammering Moss also!

 

[Devilish monster from the hill]

but there isn't really any band that is like opeth....like it said before - they're special!

 

[bleed for me]

probably thales, novembre and november's doom

 

[Don Corleone]

katatonia is not like opeth. just because the two bands are friends shouldnt make you think they are on the same styles. and i think teh closest to opeth -never sa good as of course- is agalloch.

 

[O'blivion]

October Tide. . . maybe

 

[transfixed]

Agalloch + Novembre + .2*Katatonia = Opeth

well, I tried.

You're pretty far off, this band has been around for quite some time and still has yet to get much recognition. They are a great band, and somewhat remind me of Opeth and In the Woods with an ethnic Irish sound. The structure isn't nearly as elaborate as Opeth, and they usually stick to the "Blackwater Park format" with about one guitar playing odd chords and a lead adding atmosphere.

 

[BillowOfZeal]

Out of the ones I have heard, I would say a little of both Novembre and Primordial.

 

[Claire's Horror]

who actually cares?

 

[Duvall]

I'd say everyone who posted on this thread except you...

Ahh..Allrighty then

From those bands Thales sounds the most 'similar' to Opeth (older) like Orchid or Morningrise... But still not similar. I still haven't found a band that sounds similar to Opeth in structures, melodies, sound, complexity, variety, moods and emotions. There are bands that have the same sound or structures etc. but nothing that has them all...

 

[Sadistik]

2 parts Agalloch
1 part Katatonia
1 part Bathory (for some of the folky, yet rocklicious acoustics)
1 part Dissection
2 parts Thales
1 part Camel
a dash of EoS
a hint of early Moonspell, spread liberally
and some lime.... mix well, serve in METAL shaker...

 

[Manbient]

hahahh darkness to gay ohh man that's great. If you ever get famous i will have to quote you...

In the words of the band members when asked about Thales: "we are nowhere near Opeth... we change from darkness to gay"

Claire's horror... thanx fo the input retard.
