Decades: 1990's and 2000's
Brought together in Stockholm by guitarists Peter Lindgren and Mikael Akerfeldt in 1990, Opeth added progressive influences and acoustic instrumentation to their brand of Swedish death metal.

10.25.08 doesn't get any better. ever. ever. how these guys can transcend genres within songs and shift from melodic harmonies and jazz chords to pounding death metal is beyond me. i think akerfeldt's voice sounds a bit like dave grohl's. |

Elvis may have been King and Clapton God, but Opeth rule!
