While the band has been through several personnel changes, singer, guitarist, and songwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt has remained Opeth's driving force since joining the group immediately after its inception in 1990. While their style is firmly rooted in Scandinavian death metal, Opeth has consistently incorporated progressive music, folk, blues rock and jazz influences into their usually-lengthy compositions. Many compositions include acoustic ...

I'n not sure if we conssider Follow In The Cry a cover at all,because it was composed by Mark,but that's still an After Forever song.I like that cover a lot but Simone sounds much better nowadays... Anyway I voted for Nothing's Wrong.That's a crazy song.I just love how high goes Sisi,a bit over the top,and it's a funny song afterall I also like Replica,the screams and the riffs are amazing.A bit unusual but I love the voice effects too .Haven't heared the original yet to be honest ...
