Eternal Tears of Sorrow -
A Virgin and a Whore (1998)
A mix of symphonic metal and melodic death metal. From what I've read their later stuff is better, but I want to hear what this band sounded like in the early days.
In Vain -
The Latter Rain (2007)
About the closest you can get to sounding like
Blackwater Park/
Deliverance era Opeth without completely ripping them off. If you have listened to an Opeth album then you owe it to yourself to check out this band.
