I've been in quite the crusade for a while to find an album that sounds like Orchid, given that I truly dislike the rest of Opeth's ouvre. I already know Katatonia, Dark Tranquility, Edge of Sanity, aMORPHIS, Obsequiae, Dreichmere and Eucharist. I need stuff that's closer! Sorry for being picky, but I wanted to really be specific on what I want. Thank you for your time.

Barren Earth Perihelion Ship White Stones Very specific details to what you want to hear, I do not know whether you will get the sound you specifically asked for. Edited by Cristi - September 08 2023 at 07:20 |

Sigh's first two albums for the doomy, black metal with classical/symphonic elements
Orphaned Land's first two for the doomy, dark, bleak, melancholic soundscapes with a folky touch |

Oh wait forget what I just said. You like Swedeath/Gothenburg Metal loo
El Norra Alila by Orphaned Land is still strong recommendation because the left and right pan are actually different takes of the same guitar part, so it sounds slightly different in both ears, bot so much Sahara in this regard, but what Sahara does is that is has the more traditional Gothenburg ("power metal") sound. |

What is wrong with Morningrise? It's very sonically similar to Orchid...
Also you claim not to like Meloblack metal, but Orchid IS meloblack. I understand what you're looking for kind of but it seems inconsistent. Morningrise has that twin lead guitar sound with thin production and heavy/piwer metal influenced riffing. It's THE closest thing to Orchid... |

I never claimed to dislike melodic black, but if I'm looking for something that sounds like Orcihd I'm very much NOT looking for melobkack. I mean, you can call it whatever you want, but you can't tell me it sounds like Dissection, Vinterland or Sacramentum.
Morningrise to me sounds like the rest of Opeth's albums, which I extremely dislike. Sorry, I just can't change my mind about it, my ears don't lie. Thanks for your recommendations, but you seemed to focus more on atmosphere than the specific riffing style I mentioned. Will I find it there?

I mean it'll only take 30 seconds to skim the album on Youtube to see if you like it or not. I appreciate the thanks, but it doesn't seem like you appreciate the effort here, so I won't make any more recs, don't worry. Edited by bardberic - September 09 2023 at 13:27 |

If you weren't into such specifics, then I would be recommending atmospheric music like In the Woods - Omnio and Ulver, but you are so I won't. Welcome to the forum anyway.
