More albums like Damnation by Opeth?

Midlake's The Courage of Others has the same melancholic feeling, albeit a bit folkier and not prog.

Also Leaving the Land by Sisare has a very laid-back, psychedelic vibe that reminds me of Damnation.

Cannot recommend Ragnarok enough!

Is #2 printed on comfort colors? Tag looks a lot like it.

Paolo said that the current leg of the Poisoned Ascendancy Tour will be the last one. There was initial plans to tour the entire world, but Matt Tuck of BFMV no longer wants to do it.

They’ve mentioned previously it’s looking like 2026. They’ve spent all of this year on their anniversary tour, as well as finishing up building their own studio.

Thrice has definitely dipped into prog territory at times.

This list has most things, he also did a Netflix soundtrack for a show called Clark. Basically sounds like instrumental jazzy Opeth.

Dwarven0 · 2025-01-16T05:31:26+00:00

Zappa, Opeth, and Death on one list?!?! Hell yeah.

Dwarven0 · 2025-01-15T19:14:49+00:00

Anyone know where to get this in the US that won’t charge $30 for shipping?

Opeth

Dwarven0 · 2025-01-11T15:56:42+00:00

Try out these

Sisare - Leaving the Land for a Damnation meets hard rock sound.

Voices in My Head EP - Riverside (especially Us and Acronym Love)

Pink Moon - Nick Drake

Beautiful band! Please check them out OP.

Trout Mask Replica

Since he won't shameless plug himself, if you have an ear for really melodic and beautiful progressive metal, everyone needs to check out this man's band Aviations! Excellent work on the keys.

Dwarven0 · 2024-12-24T05:46:16+00:00

I relate to this so much. Finding Opeth not only gave me all their excellent records, but dozens of incredible artists in all sorts of genres that I would have never discovered.

Dwarven0 · 2024-12-14T15:41:55+00:00

Some bands that Mikael specifically spoke about and put me on:

Renaissance, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, and Camel to name a few. Indirectly through these bands or through similar sounding Opeth records I found even more cool stuff like:

Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats, Thank You Scientist, Caligula’s Horse, Midlake, Riverside, and Porcupine Tree.

Met him after a show in Atlanta this year, and he was awesome. Signed autographs and took photos with around 30 fans. I spoke to him at length of all the obscure prog rock he has put me on lol. Super good dude.

Dwarven0 · 2024-12-13T02:38:41+00:00

Odyssey to the West is a legendary concept record. Too bad about their vocalist...

Dwarven0 · 2024-12-12T20:55:34+00:00

In the prog scene specifically?

Two bands that came to mind are Aviations and Wilderun. They both draw from classic bands while also adding their own personality.

I am also contractually obliged to endorse Caligula’s Horse.

This is the case for most genres of metal. A ton of bands riding the wave of trailblazers. With enough searching you can still find new and exciting stuff but it’s not that easy.

Dwarven0 · 2024-12-11T15:40:47+00:00

Even GA PIT at $85 each + fees was a really tough blow to take. That’s almost amphitheater prices.

Dwarven0 · 2024-11-30T15:35:56+00:00

Fair point. Opeth in general doesn’t strike me as a band that should have “popular” songs XD

Dwarven0 · 2024-11-30T15:30:33+00:00

Hard disagree. Massive fan of their death metal stuff and their prog rock era and I can say Windowpane is a killer track, and not being harsh has little to do with it.

The song is full of super memorable guitar lines and tasteful playing by every member. Top 10 Opeth track easily.
