Taking their name from a character in a John Milton poem, Comus was a short-lived yet powerful folk-rock band that seems to have made an attempt to mix elements of progressive rock with the influences of Pentangle, Fairport Convention and other more traditional folk outfits. Their debut, First Utterance (1971), was followed by To Keep From Crying in 1974, moving into even more experimental sounds. Original copies of the first album still command remarkable prices, despite recent reissues by BGO in the U.K. and Si-Wan in Asia.
Their “Complete Collection” has also now been issued on CD, which is well worth a listen , not least for “Children of the Universe”.

weird, i am a big fan of Opeth and camel , and i believe Opeth was so influenced by Camel, it shows in everyway how Andrew Latimer had a huge effect on M.åkerfelt.. i got to know this band through similar bands like gong And for melman, Opeth is a prog band, but the vocals are more like death metal " brutal" vocals + clean too, such an amazing band from sweden, but unless u r oriented with kinda heavy riffs and death vocals , then u shall try them :) " this is of cource just my opinion "

I wonder how many people only started listening to this band because of Opeth? I'm one of them.

It must be because comus were a huge creative influence on opeth. I know their lyrics are, but the only thing I remember right now is their album title, my arms your hearse, come from drip drip's lyrics
