One could easily say 'Enslaved is the black metal equivalent to Opeth' or vice-versa. They are both masters of their craft in Extreme Metal. Which one would you say is better though?

Based on new albums?
Live shows?

This is something I myself couldn't say as I'm a huge fan of both bands. However, I'm curious to see the results. Could you imagine these two playing together? That would be money well spent!

I just listened to the whole Enslaved discography. No contest - Opeth is just better in all ways. Enslaved sounded weird on their later albums, like a black metal version of Radiohead.

I only really like Enslaved in their early days, when they were more of a traditional black metal band, but I cannot compare their early material with anything Opeth have done.

So comparing the later, and more progressive Enslaved with Opeth, I have to go with Opeth, I have been into Opeth on and off for a while, sometimes I really like what they do, and sometimes I find them annoyingly boring, but they are a one of a kind band, with such quality musicians, later Enslaved material I've always struggled to can't get into.
