Pain Of Salvation

One of the few things that makes me proud to be Swedish is Pain Of Salvation. They don´t care for mass approval, this year they´ve released 12:5 an acoustic cd with old favourites, not a wise move for a metal act. Then they release another cd called BE and this must be the least commercial cd of their career. I´m proud of POS for being brave enough to release these cds, when the "Fans" just wants  Perfect Element 2. Now we will see who the real fans are, the ones who love POS music , metal or no metal.

If you like Prog Metal try the US band POWER OF OMENS

to danbo, a few metal bands, some less progressive than others that have done acoustic albums:

Empyrium's "Weiland" album, it's neo folk, no electric guitars at all although it does have about two or three minutes of screamed vocals;

One of Ulver's mid period albums, but I can't remember its name;

Agalloch may be a bit extreme in the vocal department, but very tuneful and folky in their instruments, at least on the tracks I can remember;

finally anything on the "Prophecy" label is very atmospheric and very tuneful, but ranging all over the spectrum from metal to folk, so I don't know how much of it you'll enjoy. http://www.prophecyproductions.de/prophecy_en/index.php is the link, anyway, Elend being a band I like a lot but who sometimes have screaming vocals.
