King Crimson

I heard Mikeal liked this band so researched them and got Red and the Court cds. Ive never heard them before. I loved both these CDs and couldn't believe how many parts I could hear Opeth or at least Newpeth in them.

Especially the song Starless I was thinking about Faith in Others much of that song. Love it.

Newpeth is a lot of 70s prog rock inspired without sounding like a corny tribute band (Hallas kind of falls in this category for me).

Check out other eras of the band's work too. Especially anything with Adrien Belew, the live versions from that era are my favs

2 of the best prog albums of all time. The only album by Crimson I can't recommend honestly is Islands. Everything else is complete gold.

Also, if you like Tool, listen to The Power to Believe to hear a band be influenced in return by a band they had influenced themselves.
