Eh, never used em anyways.

I was a regular in them. Oh well, we can still upload things for each other here and in other threads.

[QUOTE=faith+1]I used to hate the puking noise that the singer made ,but, i heard a song with the growling and it aint to bad now (i still would rather hear his very unique singing voice)[/QUOTE]

That's pretty much how I went. I still don't like the growling vocals, but I can kind of tune them out and dig the rest of the music. And I'm still happy when he uses his incredible clean voice for a good purpose.

Ghost Reveries debuted at #64 in the US. Seems rather low if you ask me.

How big do you think Opeth are though? Their big in the METAL community, but thats very very small compared to all the mainstream and other stuff out there. Thats decent IMO. Sure they deserve much higher, but thats what I expected.

What song?

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Ghost Reveries debuted at #64 in the US. Seems rather low if you ask me.[/QUOTE]

For a death metal band, I'd imagine that's more like record-breakingly high. Although I don't know anything about how the charts or whatever work.

Faith-what song? (I got owned by the page change twice in a row today)

Opeth aren't death metal.... and especially not on the new album. I thought it would have a better spot but I'm going to buy it soon....

As long as theres growls, people who don't look to much into the music will think its Death Metal.

Well, close enough to death metal that the average American isn't going to go buy their album or get into them...

I knew what you meant, I just felt like being an as[B][I][/I][/B]shole.

Either way Arch Enemy debuted in the top 40 and I would think Opeth would have been higher.

#64??? For the US charts, that's awesome.

I would call them progressive death metal if I had to, but usually I just call them metal. It's a good enough label. In any case, they aren't the kind of thing that sells a lot of albums in the US mainstream.

Yeah, that's why I was surprised that they did so well.

I have no clue who buys that many Opeth albums in the US. I barely know any people that have heard of them, much less buy their album when it comes out.

I know one person who's even heard of Arch Enemy, and they did better than Opeth. I'm from Canada, but the music scene is pretty much the same here as it is in the US.

Arch Enemy gets alot more support from stuff like Headbanger's Ball and whatnot, though.

Right...hehe, I forgot about the Headbangers Ball. Then again, I don't have MTV, and even if I did, I hardly ever watch tv, so I wouldn't have paid attention to it anyway.

Well, Opeth was just on Headbanger's ball, which could be the beginning of them getting just as much support as Arch Enemy and other bands. I am sort of against that though, even though they do deserve the attention.

I like that Opeth are getting some fame. They deserve it. As long as it doesn't affect the music.

does anybody know if nevermore is going to play with opeth at the house of blues in hollywood? cuz im going either way, but i'd like to know for sure

Since they are going on tour together, I think it's pretty safe to assume so.

oh , ok. i couldn't find out for sure if they were touring together. thanks

I'm not 100% sure either, but I'm just assuming that they will.

I don't accuse Opeth of selling out, but I would have liked it better if they signed with another label like peaceville or season of mist.

roadrunner brings along a lot of bad fans imo (nu-metal)

That is true, Roadrunner brings the wrong crowd along.

That might not be a bad thing, maybe Opeth will introduce people in that crowd to some good music.

As long is the music is good then why the funk should you give a crap what record label it is?

I don't.

[QUOTE=DuncMaster]As long is the music is good then why the funk should you give a crap what record label it is?

I don't.[/QUOTE]

Exactly :thumb:

But I guess some people might think that with a bigger label there'll be more pressure on the band to change their sound.
