BACKAsk Opeth Anything

account_circleMike question for Opeth is

" A song that's really stuck with me off newest album is Faith In Others. It's such a moving and beautifully written track and one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. It initially reminded me of some of early-King Crimson's more symphonic, mellotron heavy music (Epitaph for example). I'm really infatuated with this style and I'm wondering if there are any particular influential bands/songs in this style that you can recommend. Also, can we expect more of this symphonic and melancholic style from Opeth in the future? Thank you "
