    I personally like the whole double-kick-drum/growled vocals thing, especially the sudden changes to it that Opeth use. But I know what you mean, it's not to everyone's taste and it can definitely get boring after a while.

    They're not strictly the same genre as Opeth, but you might want to check out Mastodon (if you haven't already). Particularly the Crack The Skye album, and the songs:

    Oblivion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6WGNd8QR-U
    and The Czar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx2fp-kKOIw

    To me, at least, they have a very similar feel to a lot of Opeth's albums. Some incredible guitar playing as well.

    Mastodon is very good. Speaking of which, Eric, weren't you supposed to see them live?

    Yup I saw them...end of last year I think with Alice in Chains and the Deftones. They were pretty good, but I didn't know many of their songs, so it was kind of a wash. The Deftones were absolutely horrible. Alice in Chains was ridiculously good, even if the new guy can't hit all of the notes with the same power of Layne Staley.

    That's pretty good stuff -- I'll look into them some more.

    I'm sure you've heard of Dream Theater. So I won't bother recommending them. Symphony X is another progressive metal band that I enjoy a lot.

    I would check out Ghost Reveries, its my favorite Opeth album. I'm probably in a minority thinking that though, lol.

    Well, add me to the minority because that is a great album!

    Check out In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall for an awesome live anthology. Great concert!
