| Tiamat (Music) | comment |
Tiamat is a Swedish metal band, considered one of the pioneers of both Gothic Metal and Progressive Death Metal.Formed in 1988 as Treblinka, they changed their name to Tiamat in 1989 and released their debut album, Sumerian Cry, in 1990. After the release of this album (which was straight-up Death Metal), frontman Johan Edlund gradually changed the band's style, adding influences from Mercyful Fate, Candlemass, Pink Floyd and King Crimson, eventually culminating in Wildhoney, which was universally acclaimed for its mix of Progressive Rock and extreme metal (signalling the birth of a new subgenre pioneered by bands like Opeth).After the release of A Deeper Kind of Slumber, Edlund relocated from Sweden to Germany and declared himself the only permanent member of the band; all albums that would follow would cement the band into a more gothic rock sound, quite different from the extreme music they did in the years before, with recent albums showing a The Sisters of Mercy influence. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Depending on one's tastes, Johan was quite the sex symbol in the band's early days (the fact that he often performed shirtless helped...). Photographic evidence◊. | |

Progressive Metal: Mainly Wildhoney, but it's still there on the other albums (excluding Sumerian Cry, which is straight-up old-school death metal). Progressive Death Metal: Once again, mainly Wildhoney. One of the first bands to mix prog rock and death metal. | |

Bookends: Wildhoney opens with lyrics about jimsonweed and psilocybin mushrooms and ends with lyrics about LSD, just in case anyone was curious if the band had any chemical inspirations when writing the music. (For those unfamiliar, all three can be used as hallucinogens.) | |

Epic Rocking: "A Pocket Sized Sun", "Undressed", "Mount Marilyn", "The Pentagram". The entire Wildhoney album could count as well, seeing as it's pretty much one continuous piece of music, with the only break being in-between the songs "Gaia" and "Visionaire". | |

Siamese Twin Songs: While all of Wildhoney uses Fading into the Next Song (apart from the break between album sides), the transition between "Whatever That Hurts" and "The Ar" is subtle enough that if you weren't listening for it, you probably wouldn't even notice they were separate songs. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: They all have their quirks, but Johan Edlund stands out a bit more in this case. Case in point: when he composed a song for Ayreon, he sent it to Arjen Lucassen by humming the melody into his phone, while the answering machine was recording the message. He also claims to have jumped out a two story window, while being high on mushrooms and says that it was the happiest moment of his life (because the window wasn't so high up and he was relieved he didn't die). | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song | |
| Tiamat (Music) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: For a band known as a death metal band at the time, Wildhoney likely came as a surprise, as about half of it is Progressive Rock without any screaming or guitar distortion. This hasn't stopped the album from receiving a uniformly rapturous reception among audiences; it's the one album that fans of the band's old and new material can agree upon. This trope became less applicable to their later material, as these kinds of songs became more typical of the band's style. | |

| Tiamat (Music) / int_f1dcc3f | comment |
Soprano and Gravel: Occasionally. "Brighter Than the Sun" is a good example, as is "Carry Your Cross..." Wildhoney has vocals that are about half sung and half screamed, though some are also in a strange mixture of screaming and singing (most of the vocals for "Visionaire" fall into this category). On the whole, more of the second side of the LP is more sung and more of the first side is screamed, but it's not 100% on either side. | |
