They do nothing for me. IMO, they have a sound that does not change. It all sounds similar to me.

Pretty solid power/prog metal band with light death touches from Canada.

Godly they were!
Into Eternity opened to a crowd that seemed to be unaware of the rising Canadian powerhouse's prog-driven death metal. The five-piece had some sound problems (the vox were pretty low in the mix ...) at first, but they were quickly remedied as they tore Philly's Theatre of Living Arts apart with tracks mostly from Buried in Oblivion—4 tracks from the aforementioned to 2 from their previous release (Dead and Dreaming, I think it's called?). With Malmsteen-like speed and remarkable trade-off solos from the virtuosos on the six-strings, machine-like precise drum work, and vocals with a range of the most ungodly, evil sound to the very impressive soprano of lead singer Chris Krall, Into Eternity left the stage to a deafening roar and devil horns aplenty from the sold-out crowd.
An acoustic intro, Precognition, set the stage for a punishing set from Nevermore. Anticipating an amazing show from the Seattle five-piece, I was not let down one bit as Warrel Dane and company obliterated the audience with its opener (of both the show and their new album), Born. Perfection is not a word I use often to describe a live show, but I'll come damn close to saying it right now. Jeff Loomis' guitar work was unbelievable, and Dane's vocals sounded as good as they do in the studio (he had even claimed he was suffering from a cold. I couldn't tell). The set consisted of many of my favorite cuts from This Godless Endeavor, including of course Born, Final Product, My Acid Words, Bittersweet Feast, and the epic title track. They played a couple from Enemies of Reality, as well as one I believe to be from Dead Heart in a Dead World, which I unfortunately do not own, but will definitely be picking up soon. The Maiden-like dual solos simply blew me away. I wish I knew the name of that song. Anyway, I think I've said enough. Outstanding performance, and Nevermore has moved into one of the top spots of "best bands I've ever seen live."
And then came the mighty Opeth. Two jaw-dropping hours worth. Covering songs from My Arms, Your Hearse, Blackwater Park, Damnation, Deliverance, and Ghost Reveries, Opeth pretty much played something for everyone last night. All eyes were on the stage as Mikael Åkerfeldt's vocal dichotomy of beauty and brutality wowed the City of Brotherly Love with The Baying of the Hounds, When, Bleak, In My Time of Need, The Grand Conjuration, Face of Melinda, Deliverance, and Blackwater Park. (I believe they encored with Demon of the Fall, but I skipped out after Blackwater Park, as it was retardedly late as it was, and I would have missed my train if I hadn't). Highlights of the show had to be during When, one of my favorite Opeth songs, and In My Time of Need, my favorite off the Damnation record. Seeing Åkerfeldt step away from the mic with a smile on his face from ear to ear as he observed the crowd singing every word was an amazing concert moment.
Unbelievable show from beginning to end.
