I'm not really into pop music (I've been an Opeth fan since summer 2005, actually)

Only summer 2005? Aiwaz will probably still class you as 'Newpeth'... he was there when they formed, in fact it was his idea for them to start a band.

Yeah I didn't even know who they were until they were nearly in decline which is kinda crazy. It's hard to remember life pre-Opeth

My first song I ever heard by Opeth was the edited version of Grand Conjuration. In hindsight that version is awful, but it was one of the songs that gave me my love for both prog metal and death metal

Same here. This is what happens when you're 15 and keep hearing Opeth being hyped up on sput and then try to listen on YT

Harvest and then Leper Affinity for me. Before my time on Sput, years ago ... didn't know they were hyped at all, I just got interested in the cover and instantly loved the atmosphere of the music

I'm such a terrible 'Newpeth' fan that my mum saw them live before I'd heard a note of their music. I was looking through her music trying to decide what I should copy & remembered they were prominently featured in the 'best of insert genre' lists because of the high average ratings. This was only 4-5 months ago.



This site has it's uses, especially when you're a newbie & pathetically out of touch, haha.

I wasn't on Sput when I first heard Opeth... I was in middle school back then, and it would be another year or two before I started on here back in 2009 (under a different name of course). Good times, good times

Started off on sput as a young, know-nothing metalhead who thought Children of Bodom (AYDY era), Trivium(Ascendancy era) and Avenged Sevenfold (City of Evil era) were the holy trifecta of music

I honestly never knew Opeth and Tool were well-known and beloved until I got to this site. I never got to chat about any of them with anyone, so it was a nice surprise back then (6 years ago now I think). I remember being surprised that 10,000 Days wasn't as highly regarded as the precursors, hahah.

@SCREAM: Yeah man, I remember your mid-late 2000s reviews. Along with cravinov (I think that was his name), MM8, dethtrasher, confessed2005... all those classic users :]

Don't forget Shadows. His BWP review begins with that meme "The capacity for human intelligence..."



I guess I'm a newpeth fan too, since I've also only known about them since 2005, but I didn't become a really big fan until a couple years later.

GR is still part of what is usually considered to be classic era Opeth though, probably the last of that era (with Watershed being a stepping stone between that and the new prog one imo).

Watershed was really the end of what Opeth was up to that point, even though Damnation exists. The latest 3 are really different in terms of production, instrumentation, and a lot of other factors.

After 6 years of listening to Heritage though I maintain that it has the same magic as their previous ones, just in a totally different way.

I dig Heritage but I don't agree that it was as good as any of the previous albums.

It's not as good as this, SL, BwP, or GR
