FullOfSounds: Need Some Bands Like Opeth

DazSkunk 07.24.16	Check out maudlin of the Well, they're a very well respected band in progressive metal. Maybe check out some Kayo Dot (maudlin of the Well affiliated), Atheist, Cynic, Edge Of Sanity, Amorphis, Gojira and Akercocke too
heck 07.24.16	https://holicus.bandcamp.com/album/saeculum
Maco097 07.24.16	Spires - The Whisperer Man Made Origin - False Consciousness Farmakon - Robin Descend - Wither Derelict Earth - Below The Empty Skies In Mourning - Shrouded Divine Alley - Amphibious Most of the albums are mediocre. But they sound somehow like Opeth so there you go.
zaruyache 07.24.16	Gwynbleidd
AnimalsAsSummit 07.24.16	maudlin of the Well
Flugmorph 07.24.16	there are no bands like opeth... check katatonia tho. they have some similar vibes. and amorphis too
BigPleb 07.24.16	there are no bands like Opeth [2] Amorphis prob the closest you're gonna get.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	lol
TheSpirit 07.24.16	Ikuinen Kaamos and Anagnorisis' first album album, Overton Trees.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	funny to see Holicus rec'd those are my homies
eddie95 07.24.16	maudlin of the Well [2] Not that it's exactly like Opeth, but it's a very valuable band.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	yeah maudlin is nothing like opeth in any way whatsoever
BigPleb 07.24.16	maudlin do rule tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	that is irrelevant
Flugmorph 07.24.16	ye edge of sanity also [2]
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	Alright I'll check out all these at some point. Maudlin was a band I was meaning to for awhile, just forgot.
DazSkunk 07.24.16	not that they are necessarily like Opeth but an Opeth fan might still like these bands
smaugman 07.24.16	yea there are very few bands that same similar to opeth
hesperus 07.24.16	i always thought septicflesh sounded a little like opeth
rasi 07.24.16	Wilderun are in parts VERY close to opeth. Example: https://wilderun.bandcamp.com/track/the-garden-of-fire Also: https://perihelionship.bandcamp.com/album/a-rare-thunderstorm-in-spring And: a bit more prog rock, but still has some death in it: https://submasq.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-bazaar And of course Edge of Sanity and In Mourning. But they are not as close to opeth as the others.
Deathconscious 07.24.16	Novembers Doom are very Opeth-esque.
Deathconscious 07.24.16	also Insomnium are like Opeth if they went a melodeath route instead of progressive.
Spec 07.24.16	Check out Daylight Dies. You'll love 'em.
Funeralopolis 07.24.16	Ne Obliviscaris
Spec 07.24.16	Dismantling Devotion is their best.
Cygnatti 07.24.16	why would you want even moaropeth??
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	The comments about there being no bands like opeth are hilarious, try literally every crappy mainstream over dramatic Melodeth band from Scandinavia ever
hal1ax 07.24.16	lol, how do ppl think maudlin is similar
rasi 07.24.16	@LordePots: Oh, so Opeth is a Melodeath band now. Must have missed that part. @hal1ax: Indeed, hilarious. Opeth being an Avantgarde band is wrong from the other side of the spectrum.
Davil667 07.24.16	There are no bands like Opeth [2654897] m/
AlexKzillion 07.24.16	Just tried the new Novembre album from this year, got some Opeth vibes from that, especially towards the end of it.
TVC15 07.24.16	Grotesque
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	@rasi always have been except on like heritage. Opeth fans just like to glorify them as something more which is lol
teamster 07.24.16	Ne Obliviscaris [2]
Spec 07.24.16	why do users post grotesque on everything i dont get the joke
Inveigh 07.24.16	Katatonia is a good req for this discussion.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	True that
AlexKzillion 07.24.16	I've heard Ne Obliviscaris's Citadel. I remember liking it but I don't remember it sounding much like Opeth, then again I haven't heard it in like two years so I may be wrong.
Rik VII 07.24.16	Edge of Sanity - Crimson Even with Akerfeldt on guest vocals. This album developed after Swanö produced Orchid, which inspired him in some ways, as far as I remember. So the resemblances are there. also, calling Opeth melo death gives me a headache.
rasi 07.24.16	@LordePots: That's fun, because people slag Heritage off for being a 70s rip-off, yet it sounds just like Opeth, without the growls. Thanks for letting me know that Melodeath is such a 70s inspired genre. Guess I should recommend some Dark Tranquility to fans of Emmerson Lake and Palmer from now on.
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	"Just tried the new Novembre album from this year, got some Opeth vibes from that, especially towards the end of it." Agreed. The new Novembre album is pretty cool
rasi 07.24.16	@maco097: wow... Spires sounds great!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	@rasi how retarded are you for real tho? Full on retarded or just 90%? Serious question
rasi 07.24.16	I prefer to be retarded and know the difference between Progressive Death and Melodeath
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	OK so full on retarded gotcha thanks for clearing that up :,D
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	I think that Opeth have some melodeath aspects to them, but they're definitely not a concrete melodeath band.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	You can be a melodeth band and be progressive believe it or not. But yeah most of heir back catalogue is just mildly progressive melodeth. Heritage is not.
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	Agreed pots
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	Thanks for not being a tool
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	I almost want to check the new album tbh but I will never listen to pale communion it seems terrible
hal1ax 07.24.16	theyre proggy death/melodeath. rasi get over it bud
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	Meh, people see music in different ways, so seeing Opeth as a certain genre is just how you look at it. I think we can all agree that Opeth have a lot of genres mixed in there.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	This is true but again for instance saying the knife is electronic is true but doesn't mean they don't have a lot of other obvious influences. It's just the best indicator of their core values
Hawks 07.24.16	Amorphis, Edge of Sanity, Novembre That's all I can think of right now I'm tired.
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	Agreed
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	Did Edge of Sanity just release something or am I thinking of a different band?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.24.16	Hawks recs are accurate
Hawks 07.24.16	In Mourning is another one that just came to my mind.
rasi 07.24.16	@FullOfSounds: Witherscape released an album. Not the same as Edge of Sanity, but close enough
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	In Mourning was one I've had to check for awhile ever since CKN recommended them in one of his videos...
FullOfSounds 07.24.16	@rasi I was thinking of Defeated Sanity
ScuroFantasma 07.25.16	Enslaved are like a black metal Opeth imo
Maco097 07.25.16	But Enslaved is more consistent, and muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchh better than current Opeth
Shadowmire 07.25.16	soen - tellurian or the aforementioned enslaved; i recall axioma ethica odini being particularly opethian, at least superficially e; try barren earth also
FullOfSounds 07.25.16	Alright
tempest-- 07.25.16	spires is prob the band ive heard that rips off opeth the most and ne obliviscaris first album has a bunch of moments that remind me of em
majordevlin 07.25.16	You mite like Last chance to reason, or Between the buried and me.
MyNameIsPencil 07.25.16	311
AnimalsAsSummit 07.25.16	maudlin is not similar, just better
SCREAM! 07.25.16	In Mourning - The Shrouded Divide Ikuinen Kaamos - Closure Disillusion - Back To Times of Splendor (less similar than the other two but amazing prog metal that is better than both those bands)
iloveyouall 07.25.16	ildjarn hakaristi cephalotripsy devouring humanity
InFlamesWeThrash666 07.25.16	You might dig the first Ulver album
SCREAM! 07.25.16	ohshit how did I forget Edge of Sanity - Crimson I & II
MO 07.25.16	good recs in this thread
Keyblade 07.25.16	edge of sanity (early to mid opeth) katatonia (early katatonia and early opeth) ne obliviscaris (mid to late opeth) the only ones who come even close i think
ScuroFantasma 07.25.16	Camel might be worth a look too if you dig prog-rock, Mikael borrows a lot from their sound.
rasi 08.10.16	Just for compleness: https://odetosun.bandcamp.com/ https://piahmater.bandcamp.com/
