Centered around Mikael Åkerfeldt—the guitarist and vocalist who remains the sole original member—the band’s ability to weave death metal, gothic rock, and prog into a dark, dramatic whole has continued to exert a profound influence on subsequent bands.

In recent years they’ve gravitated toward progressive rock, but their singular, artful sound is sure to captivate not only progressive metal fans but also new listeners.

If you want to experience their music from an extreme metal perspective, you’d do well to start with the early releases and the 2008 masterpiece Watershed.
