I just got into this band and let me tell ya, they are, IMO, THE greatest "Progessive Death Metal" band ever. I only have Ghost Reveries and Blackwate Park so far and I love both. Anyone else like Opeth?

    They can be unbelievably hard, and also write some of the most textured gorgeous metal EVER. Do yourself a big favor and check out the album 'Damnation' and also a song called 'A Fair Judgement' off of 'Deliverance'.

    This band is mind-blowingly good.

    "A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

    Ok, thanks for the album suggestions.

    Here's an awesome interview that Mikael, the singer, did last year, but the interviewer is kinda shite:

    Great, amazing band.

    Ghost Reveries, BlackWater Park and Damnation are 3 masterpieces IMO.
    The can go from the most gorgeous accoustic songs (harvest, windowpane, etc...) to some of th emost rocking metal you'll ever hear (ghost of perdition, the grand conjuration, pretty mch the whole BWP album).
    They are very good friends of another awesome band called Porcupine Tree. Download "Arriving Somwhere But Not Here" from Procupine Tree... It's one of the greatest songs ever written and Mikael Akerfeldt has a contribution in one of guitar solos of the song.
