Oh yes, sorry, i meant about the "like Opeth" part

Well the thing is Opeth isn't black metal  They're much more death metal.
I'm being hypocritical here because i usually speak out against genre nazis

Ulver did 'screaming' in some of their early stuff, yes. Although they do have one album (Kveldssanger) which is completely acoustic folk type stuff.

They were really incredibly developing their style starting from pure black metal over some kind of post rock to something that could be called prog metal (not unlike Opeth actually). I listened to all their outputs and I've to say I prefer their latest and "William Blake" as well the Kjellsanger one. But Perdition City is great as well if one likes that style. I posted already a poll in the Collab's section whether to include them but there was very little feedback, so I assumed they aren't that much interesting and I did not add them to the Archives. Moreover I really wouldn't know in which genre to put them, they are very hard to categorize!

I tried find them in prog archieves, but there is no word about them. I read thas some people called them Kimg Crimson XXI century. A lot of electronic ambient and samples, strange vocals and sound imitation sonar "ping" and hypnotizing saxophone.

Perdition city is a great album 
My favourite song is "The future sound of music" with this beautiful intro...

Well, I must say also Arcturus may be called "King Crimson of the XXI century" IMO - maybe it's because of Garm, the visionary artist... (which left the band few years ago)

Get offa him.. he allready explained... Maidenrulez... Did You EVER try Opeth? Did You EVER try the album Damnation? If not, try it.. might change Yer mind bout them... There's no growling on that one...

ive got Ghost reveries...its ok...but as every other prog metal album very repatative

song structure: HEAVY intro ACCOUSTIC/SOFT MIDPART and heavy outro...that is even more predictable than maiden
