    I you like _________, then you should really check out _____________?????

    OK group mind....

    I have been really digging Opeth's Pale Communion. What else is in this loose-structure but song-oriented universe of bands/albums? (And, yes, I have Damnation and Heritage...looking for non-opeth).

    Anathema, Katatonia or Pain Of Salvation, Riverside remind me of the non-cookie monster Opeth at times.

    These are the ones who made the great A Miraculous Container, right? Then try These New Puritans' Field of Reeds or anything by Make a Rising.

    I agree with the following pairings for several different reasons. More recent Opeth => Katatonia, Anathema, Riverside, Maschine, Russian Circles, OSI, Dredg, Pain of Salvation

    If you like Little Atlas, then you should really check out Strattman.
