[Feign]

[SomeGuySomewhere]

[penelope_weird_hands]

can anyone recommend similar bands to opeth?
i know there's been posts about this before i just can't find any of them..sorry ;/

[Darkness]

Some of my favorite bands have come from Sweden... I love that place... stuff like: Opeth, In Flames, Meshuggah and all those other melodic death Gothenburg bands rock.

AND THD NAME IS "Look Your Last Upon The Sun - Opeth" THE REGS OF THE THREAD HAVE SPOKEN! :evil:

[craggyisland]

There is a band called Farmakon who are very similar to Opeth, though a bit heavier and a little funkier. They have an album out called A Warm Glimpse, it's great.

You might also like Woods of Ypres and Agalloch, though they're not quite so similar :)

ha :lol: sorry, just wanted to give you guys my ideas. Yah, that name is fine. BTW, DoG, that Tool Live Upload keeps bombing out on me at around 300mbs downloaded. What must I do?? I know only have: Cold&Ugly - Forty Six & 2. :upset:

[Darkness]

Hm... what kind of connection are do you have? Reply in the Tool thread.

[Blanka Flip]

"The Forest"

"Forest of Opeth"

"Blackwater Forest"

"Dirge For Blackwater Park"

"The Drapery Has Fallen"

"Forest Of Wreath"

"Orchid Forest"

"Patterns In The Forest"

"Serenity Painted Forest"

"Melinda's Forest"

"Baying of the Forest"

"The Grand Forest"


I did alot better than the stuff that's been said earlier. Especially The Drapery Has Fallen :thumb:

[Dannyboy15]

what do you suggest I do? Should I take the "1" through Malibu, then drive through sunset boulevard?

That'll probably be your best bet. Sunset shouldn't be too bad as if it was a weekend. You know tourists and all.

[Shadows]

What do all the Opeth fans here think of Bloodbath? I'm listening to Resurrection Through Carnage right now and I was wondering what everyone else thought.

The only band you mentioned that is even close to Opeth is Agalloch, and that is still far off. The closest band I have found is Novembre.

If thats the one with Mike, I love it, personally.

[Shadows]

If thats the one with Mike, I love it, personally.
Yes it is. Surprisingly, I'm liking it a hell of a lot. I've heard their second album, the one without Mike, was even better.

[penelope_weird_hands]

they are non-existant on amazon and i can't even google novembre without finding a site about some digital artist (daniel long).

errrm.. a little help here?? (discography? biography? reviews?) :(

[Darkness]

Yes it is. Surprisingly, I'm liking it a hell of a lot. I've heard their second album, the one without Mike, was even better.
Eeeeeeeeeh, its pretty different though. I don't really like the other singer... Pete something. And the guitars doesn't have that overly distored sound which I love on the one with Mike. Thats a sweet record.

That's too bad. I love Mike's growl and the distorted guitar sound, but from what I've read the newer one is faster and heavier. I'll just have to give it a listen I guess.

[Darkness]

Yeah you may like it. Its not really my thing.

ta, appreciate it.

[Special Brew]

Isn't Bloodbath's newest singer the guy from Hypocrisy? I don't follow that band, so I could easily be wrong.

*holds drink in air*

No problem. ;)

[Killtacular]

Just listened to Still Life again. It did nothing but reaffirm my thoughts of it being Opeth's magnum opus. Pure genius. Godhead's Lament owns.

[Shadows]

Yes, Peter Tägtgren.

[Special Brew]

Yes, Peter Tägtgren.
Yeah, I love his vocals in Hypocrisy. I haven't heard much Bloodbath though. Have they released any albums with him doing vocals? Also, which albums have Mikael doing them?

[Shadows]

They only have two albums out so far. The first, Resurrection Through Carnage, had Mike doing vocals. The second, Nightmare Made Flesh, had Peter doing vocals. I'm listening to RTC right now and it's prety good. I'll listen to NMF when it's done downloading.

I'm not at all familiar with Hypocrisy, but I'm looking into them too.

[Special Brew]

I have RTC downloaded but never gave it much of a listen. I've never been into any non-technical brutal type death metal. I've put it on right now though. ;)

[Det_Nosnip]

Yeah, I love his vocals in Hypocrisy. I haven't heard much Bloodbath though. Have they released any albums with him doing vocals? Also, which albums have Mikael doing them?

Yeah, Peter is incredible...he's like the Devin Townsend of black+death metal. :p

Didn't know he was in Bloodbath, now....cool!

[Deth]

I have both Bloodbath's albums (downloaded, I'm ashamed of myself) and Nightmares Made Flesh kicks the crap out of RTC. The riffs are better, the drumming is a huge improvement and the guitar tone improved. Pick it up if you don't have it.

[relliK]

Agreed.

NMF slays RTC.

[Subete]

Anyone seen the grand conjuration video? I saw it on kerrang yesterday. It's pretty sweet.

[penelope_weird_hands]

Just listened to Still Life again. It did nothing but reaffirm my thoughts of it being Opeth's magnum opus. Pure genius. Godhead's Lament owns.

agreed.
still haven't heard white cluster though. (bad download.. ;/)

[Prince of Darkness]

agreed.
still haven't heard white cluster though. (bad download.. ;/)

:lol: we probably had the same one!
My white cluster was faulty aswell.
But then I bought the album. :thumb:

[Det_Nosnip]

Yeah, that's the solution to any of your download problems. :)

[Jude]

Anyone seen the grand conjuration video? I saw it on kerrang yesterday. It's pretty sweet.

It's pretty atrocious. Even more painful is the way they cut down the song for it. Mikael said the band had very little part in producing it and don't like it...I believe that.

[Prince of Darkness]

The chance that the'll air that in South Africa, -10% chance.

[Darkness]

Lets get that name change guys...

And BB with Mikeal > any other BB. Have you guys heard the demo with him? Its sweet.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Yeah, Peter is incredible...he's like the Devin Townsend of black+death metal. :p

Didn't know he was in Bloodbath, now....cool!
Well, he's not anymore, he was just on the Nightmares Made Flesh album.

[Deth]

Lets get that name change guys...

And BB with Mikeal > any other BB. Have you guys heard the demo with him? Its sweet.
Well, I prefer Mikeal's vocals, but the songwriting on NMF is much better if you ask me.

Plus, NMF starts off with "We must kill them, for they must die". How much more metal can you get?

[Special Brew]

Sounds cheesy to me.

[Darkness]

Plus, NMF starts off with "We must kill them, for they must die". How much more metal can you get?
True, but I love the guitar tone on RTC. And yes, Mikeals vocals are awesomer.

[Hells Bells]

It's pretty atrocious. Even more painful is the way they cut down the song for it. Mikael said the band had very little part in producing it and don't like it...I believe that.

I don't want to see that video...I like the Grand Conjuration and I don't want to see how it's been butchered in the name of accessibility. I remember hearing Mikael saying the same thing, and he didn't like how it turned out...I think Riva put it on one of the MNM's.

[Deth]

It's really bad. If they just had the band playing, it might have been OK, and the chicks were hot, but it made no sense.

And yeah, the butching sucked.

[Hells Bells]

I think I might end up watching it regardless....
I still think they should have done something different, one that they wouldn't have had to cut down.

[Special Brew]

Does anyone know if Mikael and Opeth had any say so in the concept of the video? I like the video, but the video seems kind of standard for the Headbanger's Ball crowd, which I never considered Opeth a part of. Windowpane was in there a few years back though.

read this here:

i saw it too and i have to agree with the others that it is pretty confusing

[Hells Bells]

No he didn't, and I don't think he wanted any part in it. He probably had some idea as to what they were going to do with it.

[Shadows]

I'm a little desperate here, so I would really appreciate some help with this. I'm looking for a fairly short Opeth song (3-4 minutes) with great, meaningful lyrics. Any ideas? :(

[Killtacular]

To be honest, I can't think of any Opeth songs that short with vocals. Well, except for those on the bonus disc of Blackwater Park.

Still Day Beneath the Sun (4:34)
Patterns in the Ivy II (4:13)

Other that those, I'm lost.

[Shadows]

Actually, I think I may have found the perfect song. :) Thanks anyway. Now I just need to download (preferrably buy) Damation.

[Special Brew]

read this here:

I saw that. Prodction isn't what I meant. I am talking about the entire concept to the video. Opeth had to have some say in that. Video ideas get pitched to the bands, and they choose whether they like it or not. I'm sure Opeth wouldn't want something meaningless in their work.

[Hells Bells]

Actually, I think I may have found the perfect song. :) Thanks anyway. Now I just need to download (preferrably buy) Damation.

Nice, what song?

[Jude]

Actually, I think I may have found the perfect song. :) Thanks anyway. Now I just need to download (preferrably buy) Damation.

Harvest and Benighted would also work. So would Hours of Wealth, Atonement, or Isolation years. Their softer songs tend not to last as long.

[Subete]

Im just happy the vids getting opeth the attention it deserves.

[Shadows]

I'm thinking something off of ****ation. The song Dead Whispered a Lulliby seems to have a nice, soft sound and lyrics that I could easily relate to what I need to do in school.

[Neoteric]

ah Scruples, you and your Opeth fascination :p

You're jealous. Admit it!!

Steven Wilson wrote that song. :cool:

[Shadows]

Steven Wilson wrote that song. :cool:
I like it. :cool: I'm still not completely decided though. If I find a song I like even more I'll use it. Windowpane is amazing, but I'm not sure about the lyrics.

Bonus Disc?? :confused:

[Killtacular]

Yessir. On the re-release, there was a bonus disc featuring those two slow, acoustic-y type songs and I believe some behind the scenes footage of the recording process.

Can you AIM me that bonus disc? MisterGroovy1023 is my SN.

[Blanka Flip]

Well, he wrote the lyrics.


I wander what actually took place with that video. Mike has sucha broad imagination, I can't picture the concept of this video being totally his creation. The scary Mr. Bondage man lip syncing the growls? Old men looking scared in a chair? The Grand Conjuration lyrics are so much deeper than the situation portayed, and I don't think Mike would have wanted to lighten the meaning and mood of his own song.
Hmm...I Do wander how it all took place.

[relliK]

Get rid of the shirtless Mr. Bondage dude, and you have a much better video.

[Special Brew]

I thought the video was alright, but average. I'm sure Mike had more say in the video concept than we are admitting to. I just don't see why he would agree to a video like that, unless there was a reason. Perhaps he just wants a more mainstream video? Also, TGC is one of the most different Opeth songs they've made, I don't think it was a good choice for a first single.

[the2stranger]

Guess who went to Opeth last sunday :cool:
I was standing first row, and I even interacted with Mikeal!!!!:D:D:D
I took one picture, stupid cam...

they played a lovely set list:
The Grand conjuration.
Harlequin Forest
Black water park
to rid the desease
the drapery falls
face of melinda.
demon of the fall

blackwater park was amazing! the most awesome song they played.
too bad they didn't play Ghost of Perdition, my fave song of the new album

[Special Brew]

Wow, nice! :thumb:

You should upload your picture. :p

[Benzum]

I've only heard one track of the new record, It was so well written and pretty heavy at the same time. I need to hear more :upset: I have a weird relation with Opeth and their music, sometimes I'll love it, sometimes It's the last thing I'll want to listen to.

[the2stranger]

Wow, nice! :thumb:

You should upload your picture. :p

I will be getting more pics :D
a friend of mine had a photopas so he has even more uplclose photos :)

the most awesome part of the show:
when the crowd went silent in beetween songs I screamed:
Mikeal, how's your wive?
and he said: She's fine thank you, my WIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I interacted with Mikeal :D

[Special Brew]

Haha, I think I love that man. Too bad he has a wife. :(

[Deth]

I would go gay for Mikeal, for sure.

[i am the robots]

I would go gay for Mikeal, for sure.

Mikael is married... if tha's what you were talking about.

[Deth]

I know, I know.

[i am the robots]

I know, I know.

Was that what you were talking aboat?

[Deth]

*shifty*
Nothing. Nothing at all.

[Special Brew]

I would go gay for Mikeal, for sure.
Ditto. :p

[Mother]

An opeth question,

Does Mikeal do both the growled and clean vocals for the band?

[Special Brew]

Yep.

I think Steven Wilson did teh backing vocals on some of the records though. Actually, I know he did, I remember seeing it on teh DVD. :p

[the2stranger]

Mikeal Akerfeldt does all growled and clean vocals.
Steven Wislon (of Porcupine Tree) did backing vocals on Blackwatrer Park, Deleiverance and Dämnation.

Steven's best vocal work on the opeth albums is : Bleak.
Steven Wilson is also responsible for the mellotron, pianos and grand pianos used on the mentioned 3 albums.

I don't uunderstand why Per didn't do any backing vocals on the new album, cause he has a wonderfull voice.
he did it on the dvd too, and on the show I went to last week too.
Per headbanging is evil!! :D:D

[rage_h87]

Can anybody recommend a couple of albums by Opeth I have
-Still Life
-****ation
-BWP
-Deliverance

what u guys recommend next....

thx in advance :thumb:

[Special Brew]

^ Ghost Reveries and Morningrise

What bands was Per previously in? I haven't heard anything about him other than that he joined Opeth and is playing on the new album.

[Det_Nosnip]

Per was in Spiritual Beggers. I've heard that they rule.

I love his rings. :)

he still plays in the Spiritual Beggers as far as I know.
and indeed his rings rule too, not to forget his keyboard work.

I would really like to have a drink with Per (being a keyboardist myself too)
he seems like a very cool and relaxed guy

Go for Morningrise first, since everyone loves it, then Ghost Reveries since it's more controversial. But it's an awesome album. Save MAYH and Orchid until you're a more solid Opeth fan, IMO. I like them less than most Opeth. Deliverance is probably the weakest album though.

[Special Brew]

I think Orchid is the weakest album, but I like it because of it's raw quality. The music gets boring after awhile.

[the2stranger]

I think it's list time again :p

favorite to least favorite:

Morningrise
Blackwater park
Still Life
Deliverance
Dämantion
My Arms Your Hearse
Orchid

I don't really know where to place Ghost Reveries as of yet, cause I haven't really had the full experience yet, after a listen 0f 20 I will be able to place the New album in to this list too, but I don't think it wil enter the top 3

[Special Brew]

Ooh yay! List time!


Still Life
Blackwater Park
Ghost Reveries
My Arms, Your Hearse
Damnation
Deliverance
Morningrise
Orchid

[vashts80]

I should listen to the rest of their catalogue, all I've listened to is BWP, D&D and GR :\

Still Life

[Jude]

OK...

Still Life
BWP/****ation/GR

Ghost Reveries
Morningrise
Blackwater Park
Orchid
Still Life
****ation
My Arms, Your Hearse
Deliverance

A few months ago, I never imagined Still Life would fall to #5.I was so convinced that it was the best album ever.I got kinda bored of it though.

[Shadows]

Even through all my Opeth experience (I've actually been into them for a while) I would say Ghost Reveries is my favorite, but Still Life and MAYH are very close.

[Darkness]

Me and Ghost Reveries still haven't clicked together yet...

I was never able to understand what was good about Blackwater Park. I always considered it their worst.

[Darkness]

I'd like Blacwater Park more then Ghost Reveries even if it was just The Leper Affinity, The Drapery Falls and Blackwater Park to tell ya the truth. :p

Morningrise
Still Life

Well, its still better then if they didn't like Opeth.

You got to see Harlequin Forest? :upset: I'm not going to be able to see them... The closest they play is 5 hours from me on a weeknight.

[Killtacular]

Well, its still better then if they didn't like Opeth.

Okay. Have fun with your cannibal ladies.

:wave:

[Darkness]

Okay. Have fun with your cannibal ladies.

:wave:
Maybe I will! :naughty:

Maybe I will! :naughty:
That's rather disgusting. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "eating you out".

[Darkness]

It was clearly a joke... :p

[Shadows]

Did you think what I just said was serious? :lol:

[Killtacular]

:lol:
Good times. Good times for all in the Opeth thread.

[Shadows]

It makes me wonder why I don't come in here more often.

[Killtacular]

You should. I'll even let you hold my hand.

[Shadows]

:eek: *gasp* You will...really!? This is all happening so fast...my heart is beating a mile a minute! I feel so warm and fuzzy inside! I can't I never told you how I felt before...

[Killtacular]

Shhh, my pretty. You don't have to tell me, for I already know. I'll give you the moon, I swears it.

And I know what you did with the mailman.

*teh shifty eyes*

[TemperamentalGoat]

Plenty of chicks who weren't goth, obese, cannibalistic or otherwise antisocial I know liked Opeth... but mainly for stuff like ****ation, Silhouette and A Fair Judgement (the best song ever). They give me a strange look when I play Orchid afterwards and I tell them "yup, that's Opeth".

[Darkness]

Shhh, my pretty. You don't have to tell me, for I already know. I'll give you the moon, I swears it.

And I know what you did with the mailman.

*teh shifty eyes*
Enough guys. :lol:

Caanibalism is kind of hot. :)

Do tell.

[Darkness]

Nah, thats gross. Belly button rings are where its at. :thumb:

[Killtacular]

:eek:
Do tell.

The short story is that it involved buffalo, golf clubs, ice cubes, and large quantities of cheese. For the long story, I'll show you the video.

[Special Brew]

Nah, thats gross. Belly button rings are where its at. :thumb:
To each his own. I like weird things. :p

[Darkness]

I'd just be scarred if they got a little hungry in bed... take a bite...

[Special Brew]

:lol:

Cannibalism of the pen0r isn't cool. Getting bitten is, just not there.

[Darkness]

Licked > bit.

[Special Brew]

I prefer both. :cool:

I wonder what Mikael likes...

/tries to stay on the subject of Opeth

[Darkness]

He once said "If music where a woman I would desperate to **** her!"...

[Special Brew]

Oh, that Mikael! :p

Well, somebody bring up a subject to talk about!

[Darkness]

Imagine if Mike and Peter became shredders...

That'd suck.

Actually, a real topic would be... Do you guys think Opeth is becoming more vocal based then music now? I think they slacked off on the new album with the music, but the vocals/lyrics are at their best.

[Killtacular]

Don't jinx it!! Yes, 'twas more vocal based. I want bitchin' riffs (which there were, just not enough).

[Special Brew]

Yeah, it was definately more vocal. The guitars just sucked in comparison to their old stuff, still good but just not in comparison. Could this be a sign of a new Opeth sound?

It would be really cool is Mikael did some solo singer/songwriter acoustic thing for a side project. That way he oculd get all his kick *** vocal based music out at the same time of keeping Opeth heavy and based more on music.

I would love to hear solo Mikael stuff.

[Darkness]

Yeah, I found Damnation to be like that to, but I still love the music on that album. I also think Lopez kinda slacked on this cd, but that could just be because he's sick, so I'll cut him some slack, but as for Mike and Peter.. damn them!

[Killtacular]

They'll never top the riffs on Morningrise. Ever.

[Darkness]

I think the best Opeth riff is the Face Of Melinda electric one. :p


Edit: WTF!! as soon as I hit post that song came on my random playlist!! thats been happening all week! :eek:

[Special Brew]

Poor Lopez. :upset:

Does anyone know what is wrong with him yet?

Yeah some blood dieases hes had all his life or something..
Yeah, that is all I've heard. I don't check the main site or any boards often so I don't ever learn new thing unless someone tells me in here. I was just wondering if there were any developements(sp?).

Does anyone else love the song 'By the Pain I see In Others' as much as I do? I love the effects on the vocals, and the jewish harp! :lol:

[Darkness]

I really like that song to, I really love the Deliverance album, I find it underrated lots of the time. I try not to listen to it that much so I don't kill it though.... happened to Still Life... :(

[Special Brew]

I go through phases with Opeth albums. My favorite seems to change almost every week.

[Darkness]

Dude, same here... I hate when people ask my favorite album... I'll be like "Deilverance...*then I'll feel guilty* no wait, Blackwater Park *guilt comes in*, Nah My Arms, Your Hearse..." etc.

[Special Brew]

Haha, I wouldn't want the other albums to get jealous.

[Darkness]

Exactly.

[Killtacular]

I think the best Opeth riff is the Face Of Melinda electric one. :p

I love that riff.

/creams pants

[Deth]

Less than 2 months till Opeth!

And I just ordered a Still Life shirt, so I'm happy.

[Darkness]

Don't these loseres come back to Edmonton... I can't believe Mike lied to us... :upset:

[=-fukifiknow-=]

i got Ghost Reveries yesterday, i've been listening to it nonstop, but i cant really get into it... i know with most songs after listeng quite a bit, it grows on you.. please tell me it will

[Darkness]

It hasn't on me yet, its good, but not mind blowing like some have said.

[Special Brew]

Not mind blowing but it takes ahwile to grow on you. Then again, most Opeth needs to grow on you before you appreciate it.

[Darkness]

I just find most of the songs lack a really good climax...

[Deth]

I absolutely loved it the first time I listened to it.

The opposite thing happened with me and MAYH, the first couple of times I listened to it I thought it was just Meh, but now I love it.

[Shadows]

Strangely, GR hit me right away, whereas their other albums took 1-2 years to grow on me.

[Special Brew]

I guess GR is just more accessible. I think it was meant to be though,

[BurningSky]

The new album is sooooo good. I'm getting through my first listen as we speak, Reverie/Harlequin Forest being my favorite at the moment...

That acoustic part...just wow...

[lost_profits]

darkness of greed hit the nail on the head. theres no epic finishes.
still growing on me slowly. Reverie/Harlequin forest just comes across as weird. It's almost flat sounding... in fact a lot of the heavy moments seem flat in production. Anyone?
About 9.15 into Ghost Of Perdition is genius however. And Hours Of Wealth has signalled a new road for Opeth in terms of 'softer' songs.

[Nicholas Sutton]

There are a lot of bands that I think could benefit from making their music at least a tad bit more "mainstream."

Not mainstream in a "this is gonna make us so much money" sense but just in terms of making things more melodic and catchy. I dunno, I'm in love with Ghost Reveries right now and I haven't always felt like such a fan of Opeth until hearing this album, and maybe I just got a bad start with Opeth(I am trying to get more music of theirs lately and give them more of a fair chance than I gave them before) but it seems there are bands that have so much potential but try so hard to go against the grain that it becomes hard to listen to. GR to me seems to have eased up and seems a lot more softer and catchier, and it sounds really great to me.

[the2stranger]

Imagine if Mike and Peter became shredders...

That'd suck.

Actually, a real topic would be... Do you guys think Opeth is becoming more vocal based then music now? I think they slacked off on the new album with the music, but the vocals/lyrics are at their best.

I don't really think Opeth is becoming more vocalbased, they went through that phase already IMO.
think BWP, D&D, Steven Wilson made Opeth vocal orientated,lyrical wise Mikeal has always been great.

does anyone else besides me adore Mikeal's vocals on The Human Equation?
/drools
I wish I was blessed with vocal chords like that, not to mention his guitarskills

[Crudd-Bucket™]

The Human Equation

Is this some side project band?

[the2stranger]

the human equation is a double cd by a dutch composer.
he works with guest performances alot
on the latest album a crapload of singers sang:
Mikeal Akerfeldt, James Labrie of DT

[Jamie FT]

I love Akerfeldt's improvisation at the end of the last track. ;)

[4130]

^^^^ I thought it was one of the greatest albums ever written for a very long time, I loved everybit of it. (I'm talking about The Human Equation). BUT there is one thing that absolutely ruins it to the point that I sometimes can't even listen to the songs. The lyrics are TOO straightforward. I know this is the tiniest of things on an otherwise amazing album, but it just ****s me.

Other than that everything is perfect, great music, two hours of it, awsome prog stuff you know violins, flutes, synths, digeredoo, and an amazing aray of voices. Its got it all.

By the way the 'band' is called Ayreon the CD is The Human Equation. And to answer your question it is deffinetly worth checking out.

Anyway, Face of Melinda is totally the best Opeth song.

I wish I was going to be back in Philly on Halloween so I could see it live... :(

[Special Brew]

I have n clue what that means. I've always hated Rammstein.

I should really check Opeth's tour dates to see if I can make it to any shows.

[Jude]

I don't really like Ayreon all that much, honestly. There's not enough that's metal about it. And I despise a lot of the Labrie-esque voices.

[PIGS(1 different one)]

Baying of the Hounds is probably my favorite Opeth song right now, at first I was a little weary about this song but loved the rest of the GR tunes. I think BotH is more of a traditional Opeth song in the sense that it takes a lot of listens to really appreciate it. I feel like the rest of Ghost Reveries will not have that lasting appeal like the rest of the albums.

[Special Brew]

:lol: It's a song about penor-cannibalism.
:lol:

I am going to have to hear this. What song is it?

[JamJar]

I've recently started listening to opeth and i have sl and bwp, and i hav to say, i much prefer sl. Bwp seems to loose me at times and becomes bland whereas sl just makes me keep listening. The aucoustic breakdowns on sl are totally amazing whereas they seem a bit dull at times on bwp.

I'm not saying that i dont like bwp, but after reading many great things about it, i have to say that im somewhat disappointed.

[the2stranger]

Any chance that you have it on Soulseek? Or would czre to send it to my email via YSI? ;)

be patient, I will send it to you email adresses :)

[Jude]

:lol:

I am going to have to hear this. What song is it?

It's called 'Mein Teil.' The lyrics (translated into English) go like:

Tonight I'm meeting a gentlemen
That likes me enough to eat me
Soft parts and also hard ones
Are on the menu

So you are what you eat
And you know what it is
It is my piece/part (dick)

And then on from there in typical Rammstein fashion. I guess they've been getting less perverted lately; Sehnsucht was about 60% perverted songs, Reise Reise only had one.

Bloodbath's Eaten is about the same event. In case you didn't know, this actually happened in Germany. A man answered an add in the newspaper looking for someone who wanted to be eaten. The two met up in the man's apartment, where they both ate his, erm, 'piece'. He was then willingly killed, and the man who put the add in the paper then videotaped himself cutting the man up and eating/preparing him. Apparently there's a market for such tapes.

[Deth]

Off the topic of cannibalism...

Apparently, Into Eternity and Fireball Ministry have been added to the North American tour dates. I've never heard either of them. Any comments?

[Cardboard Headgear]

Into Eternity are awesome and I wish I got to see them instead of Pelican. But hey, Opeth is touring with bands that are at least respectable, which is nice.

Now, where were we? Ah yes, cannibalism...

Discuss.

[Deth]

It's Nevermore and the two other bands, so I hope Opeth's set isn't shortened because of it.

Only in Germany.

For the record, Rammstein's album 'Sehnsucht' contains songs about:

Incest (Tier)
Buttsex (Bueck Dich)
S&M (Bestrafe Mich)
Pedophilia+incest (Spiel Mit Mir)
And much much more (I can't remember what other songs are on there.

Crazy Germans.

Fireball Ministry is pretty good. I've heard about five songs, and they were all well above average.

[Kage]

On the contrary, I was so happy that my show is going to be Pelican. Pelican is one of my favorite bands, so it's two of my favorite bands in one show. Amazing.

I've never heard Pelican's music, but it would be impossible for me to take them seriously with a name like that, unless they were AMAZING musicians. And it would be even funnier if they were extreme metal or something.

Edit: Oh em gee, I just remembered something hysterical.

http://blacktable.com/dorfman040906.htm

They actually MADE AN EP and you can listen to one song from it if you click on the link in the article. I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG time.

[relliK]

Pelican is so awesome.I think it was Kage that posted their newest album on here a while ago.That's how I heard them.

They have super long songs like Opeth but have NO vocals.After a while you really dont see a reason for them.Their music does all the talking.

[Deth]

Go and find some Pelican if you haven't heard them.

I never really liked Rammstein. :( Their music always seemed so odd and creepy.

[Shazzam]

Can anyone reccomend some other good songs that sound similar to Bleak?

Godhead's Lament, maybe? It's got a great acoustic-y part in it, nonetheless.

[Det_Nosnip]

Actually, it was the Human Equation that made me an Opeth fan. :) I hadn't really given them much of a chance before then...I was in that "boooo cookie monster" phase. When I heard the Human Equation and heard him singing (watching the Human Equation DVD with a video of him growling also made me respect it more), I decided to give them another chance...and they're now one of my favorite bands.

The whole cast was incredible, though...I discovered SO many bands through that album. Marcela Bovio, Heather Findlay, and Devin Graves were real standouts for me.

[Flynn]

Can anyone reccomend some other good songs that sound similar to Bleak?


There isn't one song that sounds even close to Bleak. Which makes the song so powerful :D

[Flynn]

I can't get into Ghost Reveries.

I'm having trouble getting into their past work as much as I did Ghost Reveries. :(

[bucket]

On the contrary, I was so happy that my show is going to be Pelican. Pelican is one of my favorite bands, so it's two of my favorite bands in one show. Amazing.

This talk of Pelican made me decide to download some, and now I can't wait to get my hands on some cds.

I would prefer them way more than Nevermore... which is who I'll get if I can make it to Cleveland.

[Darkness]

You fool!

I'm having trouble getting into their past work as much as I did Ghost Reveries. :(
I have come to the conclusion that I am a bit disappointed with Ghost Reveries. Decent cd, nothing to specail... :(

[the2stranger]

I have come to the conclusion that I am a bit disappointed with Ghost Reveries. Decent cd, nothing to specail... :(

me too :(
I love Ghost of Perdition and The Grand Cunjauration though, but the rest isn't all that special IMO ( for Opeth standard)

[Kage]

I disagree. I think this is one of their best records. Songs like Atonement and Hours of Wealth sound like nothing they've ever done, and I love that sound. Then, more traditional songs like Baying of the Hounds are some of the best material I've heard from them. Ghost of Perdition and Reverie/Harlequin forest are just epic, amazing songs.

[Shadows]

I have come to the conclusion that I am a bit disappointed with Ghost Reveries. Decent cd, nothing to specail... :(
Unusual. I found Ghost Reveries to be incredible for the entire duration, where back in the day I couldn'rt stand to listen to one of their songs for more than a couple minutes.

It's a little different now though. :)

[Special Brew]

It all depends on what you are looking for in their music. If you are looking for better songwriting and better vocal performance, then you will love the new album. But as far as actual music... :(

[Kage]

[the2stranger]

I think he means every has grown in the band, but just growth doesn't mean your music gets better or tops itself, or even stays at the same level

[Kage]

That's true, but I really enjoy the actual music of this album, regardless of songwriting. I mean, I think the songwriting sounds a little more simplistic in a lot of cases. I just like the atmosphere and the textural additions from the keyboards.

[the2stranger]

I love the keyboard stoo, but I am a keyboardist myslef too :p
but the rest of the music just hasn't klicked with me :(
I really hope it will, but as of yet, it hasn't

[Darkness]

I thought the song writing was ok, but hasn't topped the other records. The vocals are at their peak, but its waaaaay to vocal based now. Guitar work is well under par.

[Hells Bells]

That's true, but I really enjoy the actual music of this album, regardless of songwriting. I mean, I think the songwriting sounds a little more simplistic in a lot of cases. I just like the atmosphere and the textural additions from the keyboards.

Same here, but I guess like the2stranger I'm kinda biased about the addition of the keys...I'm a keyboardist too ^^

I love the new album though, the mix between the dark atmosphere and proggishness is awesome.

[the2stranger]

I freaking the love the very rhytm based riffs of Ghost of Perdition though.
it reminds me of the outro of deliverance (song) but instead of being an outro, it's a 10 minute song.
and the clean part is amazing :eek:

[Darkness]

Yeah, some really cool parts on the cd, but it still lacks overall IMO.

[Deth]

I think GR is fricking sweet in every way.

Getting Opeth tickets tomorrow :).

[Flynn]

You fool!

I'm having trouble getting into their past work as much as I did Ghost Reveries. :(


To each his own ;)

[Shadows]

To each his own ;)
Yes, I suppose so. :) So far I've been desperately hooked on MAYH.

[Flynn]

Yeah, some really cool parts on the cd, but it still lacks overall IMO.


Agreed. There are some decent parts on the album, but I personally think it lacks ''heavyness''. I kinda see what they're trying to do with the whole keyboard concept, but I just can't get into that for some reason. I've listened to that album a thousand times and just can't get into it. Reverie/Harlequin Forest and The Baying Of The Hounds are the only songs on the album that stand out to me.

I was hoping for the album to have the same vibe as Deliverance. Deliverance was really good. I appreciate that album more and more every day. There are hardly any parts on Ghost Reveries with double bass or violent climax riffs as heard on Deliverance, Blackwater Park, Still Life, My Arms Your Hearse. Don't get me wrong, Ghost Reveries is a fantastic album all in all, but I would of loved another LP like Deliverance. Ghost Reveries is my least favorite Opeth album.

[Darkness]

It sucks. Its the worst part of the song, its a good bass line but man does that tone suck...

Bleaks nothing special.

And "What would they care if I was gay, noone would know, hooooooomooooo" is a crappy vocal line.

:D Glad I got that off my chest...

I have to agree with you, when I first heard Godhead's Lament, I was blown away, especially by the interlude riffs and solos, but now I tend to not pay attention to that song much. I don't hate it, it's just not in my favorite opeth songs list anymore. I still like some of the acoustic passages though.

One more thing, Ghost Reveries is a weak album. Decent, but it lacks the quality in songs such as Masters Apprentices or The Leper Affinity, or the song writing in stuff like The Moor or Black Rose Immortal and it certainly does not have a new song that could replace Demon Of The Fall. 3.5/5 for an album, but 2/5 for an Opeth album.

Also had to get that out of my chest...

ok now I disagree with you. This is where we have to keep things to ourselves and not spout things out as facts, but rather as opinion. So I'll take everything you say opinion instead of fact. fair enough? lol

it's a 5/5 in my book....actually every opeth album is 5/5 to me....that's why I love them so much.

Absolutely agree. All Opeth albums are 5/5, except for Orchid (4/5) for me. GR is one of their best albums, and it is able to combine everything great about the band while adding new elements...


...IMO.

[Darkness]

Lacks the quality guitar/drum work I've come to expect from Mike, Peter and Martin L.


IMO

[Deth]

Ah, but the great basslines, vocals and keyboards more than make up for the absense of pounding drums and soaring solos...

I bought my third Opeth cd today (Ghost reveries) i have to say after listening 3 times. It is like being kicked in the balls repeatidly, than having them gently touched with loving care. .....Than gently Punching them while it hurts and feels good.

I suck at explaining, but man does that cd Pwn :)

[Darkness]

Agreed, the instruments that didn't shine as much on the previous albums do stand out more (sept vocals, they've always been quality and they shine on this cd)... but the guitar work is one the key aspects that made me love this band... Good concept to.
