I will agree, in the fog this place definitely has a swedish metal feel yet I know of absolutely no black metal bands around where I am at all, its a shame.

And I agree--Opeth is indeed also my music of choice for driving through the state. Haha, I live right in the Eastern KY/WV area..

Its always on my truck on road trips. I'm thinking of doing an Opeth-exclusive trip next time I go visit my brother who lives in Nebraska, yep. All the way from here, South Texas tip. I'd probably go through all the discography. Opeth is great driving music through the massiveness of Texas too, Vince. Its always on my truck on road trips.

Regarding driving music though, Tool is exceptionally good for that activity. It works for night or day, rain, snow, or shine. It's also fun to gauge distances in a trip with the length of an album. For example, a trip from Baltimore to NY is about a Tool and an Opeth album's worth. And like you all alluded to, Virginia/WV is a beautiful part of the country. A lot of it is nothing but endless hills, trees, creeks, and rivers... good stuff. Yeah, I agree Opeth is the shit either live or on CD.

He always looks like a sideman instead of a true member of the band, and it just looks odd to see him rocking out back there but with only the upper part of his torso visible. Why do the guitarists (and bass) get to show off their legs, but the keyboardist has to be hidden like that? Whatever reason you come up with isn't good enough for Jordan Rudess...
