I'm gonna start sounding like a broken record, but my most frequented forum Five Eight Forums is home to some of the absolute biggest fans of Opeth, To-Mera, Esoteric, and Virgin Black you will ever meet. Therion and Draconian are not unrepresented themselves. You really would find a home in the music discussion board, either talking about bands like these or getting recommendations for stuff in a similar vein.

So far this year I haven't payed attention to a lot of new releases. I've gotten the latest by a few core favorite bands but I've spent most of the year catching up on old (not necessarily ancient, but a mix of stuff spanning hundreds of years ago to just a few years ago) music that I really wanted to hear and it all seemed a lot more pressing & highly recommended than just the newest stuff on the block. That's kind of how my priorities have been lately. I don't usually get into all the newest albums from a given year until at least the following year, after hype has died-down and settled and I can get a more accurate opinion of where exactly this new music falls relative to all the other music out there, and specifically in that particular artist's catalogue.
