tell me someone here is into Opeth (if I haven't made this rant before).
Saw them last weekend, and while they've apparently outgrown the death metal thing (sigh...) they're one hell of a band... some of the most instrumentally brilliant, atmospheric stuff I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Kind of like Kell's favourite band, Fields of the Nephilim, except instead of just ambient dark rock, it's more metal/folk/jazz/prog-rock... and plus there's some loneliness in there whereas Nephilim is more just "this is fucked up."

Some day in another universe I'll make a Quake map of that. And if you check that song out make it to the end... it has such a build-up.
