But since this album was produced by Steven Wilson, I feel like I should give it a try sometime. I do like the sound of this song, for sure.

They've gotten more progressive in recent years and I think they do all clean vocals nowadays in the studio, but still do older growling stuff live.
The band Storm Corrosion is Steven Wilson and Opeth's lead singer Mikael Akerfeldt. Opeth definitely had some influence on 21st Century Porcupine Tree.

I don't care for the death metal sound, but this later stuff seems more accessible to my ears.
At some point, I'll make my way through the Storm Corrosion and Blackfield projects. Eventually.

It is closer to Wilson’s earlier solo material.
Maybe check out Sorceress by Opeth. Came out maybe10 years ago, all clean vocals and some heavy influence from Tull and Zappa.

Here’s a live performance from about a year ago. Like the audience reaction.
