Damn! I can't believe it's taken almost 38 pages before someone mentioned Dissection (unless of course there was a video post as all I did was a text search). If you've never listened to Dissection and you are into the more extreme progressive bands such as Opeth or Edge of Sanity then you OWE it to yourself to give The Somberlain, Storm of the Light's Bane
http://youtu.be/PnKVYkOo9-Y and even Reinkaos a full listen. Hell, ANY metal head owes it to themselves to give Storm an attentive listen from start to finish as it is fantastic.
Nödtveidt (not to condone some of his actions/beliefs mind you) was a musical genius. I know critics and a lot of fans panned Reinkaos, but to my ears it is brilliant. I must admit I'd avoided it for the longest time due to the reviews and stuck only to Somberlain and Storm. Anyway, Jon and Dissection were truly innovators in the metal world.
