I also love OPETH, Ministry88! My favorite album is "Blackwater Park", but did you hear the recently released "Damnation"? It's pure beauty, no death growls, no heavy guitars nor riffs, just laid-back, ultra-emotive music with some Hammond sounds in the mix! It actually reminded me of many Italian soundtracks from the 70's. I met these guys here in Florida a year or so ago, while covering a local show for my magazine. They are extremely nice people, and both the drummer and the bass player are from Paraguay, so we all spoke Spanish. They were so desperate for some sun (they all live in Sweden) that they asked me if I could take them to the nearest beach! So off we went... It was so weird to watch these guys, whose music is so dark and opresive sometimes, just having a blast on the sand... Bizarre, very bizarre... but I have pictures to prove it!

Necrophagia may not be the best band in the world when it comes to "necro death metal", as they call it (and their videos are terrible, I agree), but Killjoy is a very nice guy to talk to and to read, and most of his other bands are actually interesting (did you hear Eibon?).

Anyway, nice to hear somebody else likes Opeth on this planet. Do you know a band called Morte Macabre? They are friend's of Mikael Akerfeldt (singer of Opeth), and they also play in well known progressive bands like Anekdoten and Landberk. They released an album called "Symphonic Holocaust" in which they cover songs from cult soundtracks such as Fulci's "City Of The Living Dead" and "The Beyond", "Cannibal Holocaust", "Beyond The Darkness", and even "Rosemary's Baby". The results, in all cases, are memorable.
