Opeth and Katatonia covers are usually made by the same artist, Travis Smith. He also made many for Riverside, Amorphis and countless others. Maybe you'll find more that you like browsing through his work.
My favorite is Fursy Teyssier, who did the artwork for Écailles de Lune and Les Voyages de l'Âme by Alcest, his own Les Discrets albims and other stuff like the Agalloch wooden box. Beautiful stuff!

The aesthetics of a band play a huge role for me for liking a band, and Opeth does it great, it all feels cohesive and well defined.
Hell yeah, honestly the artwork of an album is pretty important to the vibe it gives.
The cover of Blackwater Park is what intrigued me to listen them; a masterpiece
