So I've been listening to Opeth lately and throughly enjoying the heaviness of Blackwater Park. But, I really enjoy Patterns in the Ivy, which isn't metal at all, and I've been looking for artists who play music similar to it but have had no luck finding anything. Does anyone have any ideas? or at least any way of leading me in the right direction? I feel completely lost in dealing with this kind of music as I really have never gone very deep into it before.
Thanks

Here's some good metal none the less...

Thanks, I'll have to look into them

Metal similar to Opeth in general, or music similar to Opeth's lighter tracks?

The newest album by Opeth "Damnation" is a lighter metal. Lots of acoustic and melody. Download "To Rid the Disease" to see if you like it. I sure do.
