Anyone like this band the way I do. I know this is a stretch on this site being that a lot of their music is considered Death Metal. But with each newer release they progress and have a lot more to offer. As in no death growls and nice singing and great acoustic guitars. Their Damnation album is all clean vocals (which are beautiful) and acoustic guitars.

I have all of their studio albums, plus roadhouse and the lamentations dvd.
Do I need to say anything more? wink.gif

I've sort of skirted round Opeth. They have the same management (Northern Music) as InMe whom I adore (and are nothing like Opeth at all) and I'm pretty sure Mikael Akerfeldt in particular is good friends with Ville Valo from HIM whom I also adore. I think he has a wonderful voice full of soul nd honesty, epsecially on Porcelain Heart. I really like the music, but I just haven't got the attention span for songs averaging 8 minutes right now - maybe in the future this is a band I'll really get into.

And on a totally facile note, the band's logo is pretty damn nice as well. Delicate but stark and heavy at the same time. A bit like the band.

Fuck me but Burden just came on on my shuffle and it kicked my ass again. That mellotron solo is so awesome.

And of course:

Ok, if they're not growling anymore I will check them out again. Good to know. I have one of their cds, to be honest I don't know what its called, I LOVED the music, but couldn't get past the growl. Thanks for the info.
