Can't believe you've never heard Tool, very much give them a spin if you get the chance! As someone else mentioned, Schism would be a good starting place. Love the reaction as well, this whole album is wonderful along with Blackwater Park. Masterpieces.
One of the most impressive aspects of Åkerfeldt's songwriting is that he doesn't always know exactly what he's doing. Since he's completely self-taught and doesn't read music, he writes entirely from intuition and strives to replicate what he hears in his head.
Mostly** self taught if you want to be REALLY percise. Everyone in Sweden has mandatory music classes in school. However, what you learn in these classes is very basic unless you have a genuine interest yourself and you want to learn. But yeah, he's selftaught in like 99% of music and he wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for his genuine passion for music.
since nobody has mentioned it, it was mixed by Steven Wilson. Not sure if this or The Moor is my favorite album opener of all time.... The Moor has the best first 2 minutes and this one has the best ending.
Its gold all around. My favourite harsh vocals, so clear but so low and heave. And then his angelic interludes.. heavenly.
I don't think i've seen a band more times than Opeth. Heroes of my youth.
TOOL is great I’d recommend some stuff off of their Ænima album like Pushit or 46&2. Schism is also a really good one off the Lateralus album.
Check out their Red Rocks rendition of this one. Masterful live performance, not to mention the sound mixing.

You should 1,000% check out Tool. Start with Schism! A great entry point to their complex and beautiful sound ❤

Whole Opeth discography is just full of tritones. That's how they compose.
