You seem to mention Opeth a lot. Are they any good?


It entirely depends on what floats your boat Sir. If the idea of progressive (occasionally Death style) metal filled with melancholy and grandeur, twiddly bits, filligree lightness, super-heavy riffing, epicness and so on puts steam in your strides, I'd heartily recommend them. If any of the above has you sticking your fingers down your throat then best avoided. I loves 'em v much meself; but I wouldn't say they would be everyone's cuppa rosy.


Sounds like a description of Faith No More's Angel Dust. If it is that good I'll love them. Looks like a purchase coming up.


They are a bit more steeped in classic euro-metal than Faith No More (Great album that BTW), and there's a scandonavian Melancholy present - they're Swedish! Albums I'd recommend to a newbie are "Ghost Reveries", "Watershed" and "Blackwater Park". Not trying to put you off; far from it - just wouldnt want you to think you're getting a FNM alike when it IS eclectic but not in the same way.

Must say though, their gig last year at the Albert Hall (v posh I know) was one of the best things that's happened to me. Agog with metal majesty I was!
