@JBT24 Very true, I guess what I'm saying is that I would call them a prog rock band with metal leanings rather than a death metal band with prog leanings these days.
-
@Nubnut You also forgot that KC and Anekdoten are definitely not "unrecognizable", and even with the whole death metal element, Opeth has as much variety as those bands.
-
@JBT24 And Anekdoten is HEAVILY influenced (some say a ripoff of) by King Crimson, so essentially you're saying that it sounds like King Crimson, which was commonly described as both Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion.
-
@Nubnut 60% of their music is progressive metal. They mix in rock/blues/jazz/folk/pop/ambia
nce and maybe a couple more. Having a metal song with diverse influences or a rock song with diverse influences doesn't make a band impossible to categorize. And if you're talking about The Devil's Orchard, there's barely anything jazzy about it, it sounds like generic prog rock, or an Anekdoten rip off. -
Ya.... And then you listen to their new song and they've thrown metal completely out the window and are now a Jazz Fusion band.
Opeth isn't uncategorizable per say. They just cover about 30 different genres.

one douche who disliked lol
I don't care about the line-up. They still sound so....unparalleled. I can't even classify them. Neither can any of you who make an attempt to classify them. Any attempt at this at all will ALWAYS result in an understatement. Opeth=Opeth. Thats the only statement that can be said without it being an understatement.
