   ^Sorry, couldn't resist.
Yeah, Opeth is pretty much the most popular band that is completely metal here. Ghost Reveries, Still Life, and Blackwater Park are all in the top 100 albums here.

	Never heard of them. Metal you say? I've always assumed that metal was just a bunch of screamers, but you've put everything in a new perspective for me.

	I am a new member here on the forums but have visited the site for years. I've been a PROGHEAD for about 35 of my 47 years, but most recently gotten into some of the harder edged stuff. Even some including growl/screaming vocals. I know what most of you Symphonic Proggers like me are gonna say. But if you don't at least check out bands like Opeth-you'll regret it later. They are not only incredibly talented musicians, but songwritiers, and performers too. And you won't find a more professional and discip[lined band that has struggled for years, and its actually paid off, to their pure metal fans, and the proggers, when leader Mikael Akerfeldt started using his apprecciation for prog more and more in Opeth's music.2003"s "Damnation" produced by Steven Wilson is the only Opeth record with all clean vocals and very proggy musically.2005's Ghost Reveries and their latest Watershed also have plenty for the prog lover. I am now a full blown Opeth fan after seeing them live for the first time last week. i was totally blown away. How Akerfeldt goes back and forth from growls to clean(and really good)vocals-you have to see and hear to believe. The sound,lights,venue,everything was top notch-this is a class act Sweedish black metal/progressive metal/scandavanian folk/jazz avant garde/prog band! check em out!
