Not sure if I have the fake.It starts out with "Devil cracks the earth...." at about 1:10.Is that the one you got?If so, I agree.The song slays The Grand Conjuration.

Wait, what's this other song you guys are talking about?

Ghost of Perdition.

Holy ****...Mikael's grunts are MONSTER in that song! (Ghost of Perdition). I'm not sure how I feel about the "Devil cracks the whip" part, though....as a whole, it rules. 6:00 is TOTALLY PT. 6:45...is ****ing nuts. Wow..the synths after that rule. I really like how they're combining what was done on Dam nation with what was done before...very cool stuff.

Sorry, I'm kinda live-updating as I listen to the song. :D

I didnt like that part too much either.I love the humming at about 3:00 though.So beautiful.

The Grand Conjuration is great! I couldn't really tell with the other radio version, but this one's quality is great.

I'll listen to The Ghosts of Perdition in a few minutes too.

Sorry guys, I'm a newb to Opeth. What album would you recommend for a first time Opeth listener? I haven't heard any music, just a lot of talk about the band. I think its time I check them out.

I would get [I]Blackwater Park[/I]. Its an amazing album, and got me into Opeth.

Still Life for sure.

What genre do most people consider Opeth?

Depends on what you've heard. Blackwater Park is a must get, so far this cd is the best release to date. Songs as Bleak and The Drapery Falls show Mikaels voice has improves and is still with every album D*mnation is an awesome album as well, especially if your into slow, mellow songs. Still Life has an incredible mix of clean and grim vocals, as BWP does. The solos on White Cluster are so awesome. Deliverence is one of the newest albums, but its not as good as the rest. But, Deliverence and A Fair Jusdgement are the best ones are there. Orchid is Opeth's first cd. Not exactly the best but is still worth getting, because well it's Opeth. My Arms Your Hearse is another amazing album with songs such as Demon Of The Fall and When.

In short I think you should (in this order) get BWP, SL, MR, DE, MAYH, O and you can get D*mnation at whatever time. It just really depends how much you like slow songs.

Death Metal?Possibly Melodic Death.I don't know.It's hard because they will go from pure Death to acoustic to softer,more mellow and melodic riffs back to Death.But I would just say Death Metal or Melodic Death to easily classify them.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.Blackwater Park was my first Opeth CD,and my favorite,then I got ****ation followed by Orchid and Still Life and out of those four he's got them listed correctly.

Extreme Progressive Metal.

I only have BWP and Still Life, but they are amazing. I personally like Blackwater Park better, but Still Life is right up there.

I never really hear people talk about The Leper Affinity when they talk about BWP. That's one of my favorites on that album.

It's pretty hard to put them in a genre, especially how they play so many different styles of music. But i have heard them called Progressive Death Metal.

I love the solo on that song.That's one of my faves off the album.

Holy motherfu[COLOR=Black]c[/COLOR]ker.

Ghost of Perdition.







I have to stop listening to leaks......... Need to have the full experience when the album comes out!

But....so........hard

I'll be sure to download the leak :-\

GOP is great. What a ****ing kickass song!

Does anyone know of a place to find Opeth vinyls? Besides ebay. I've bought Orchid, MAYH, and Morningrise. I'm looking for BP, Delieverance, ****ation, and Still Life.

After listening to all of my Opeth CD's (minus MAYH and Stilllife, I don't own them) I can say Orchid is definetly their best.
