I guess about the new album is that Mike said he was trying to do something a bit different, so different for Mike is normal for everyone else. (if that made any sense?)

[QUOTE=bball_1523]lol, I have to drive from Santa Barbara, all the way over there, plus I get off school around 3:40 pm, and with rush hour traffic? :( I just hope I can see opeth, I wouldn't mind missing the opener.[/QUOTE]

Rush hour around Hollywood is ****ing terrible. I've been stuck in for 3 hours before.

I'm hopefully going to see Nevermore and Opeth if the date for Halloween in Philly is confirmed...I saw it on blabbermouth but it's not on the venue's site nor Opeth's site yet :(

I remember Mikael saying he would never have Nevermore open for them, that he would always have Nevermore Headline the tour... he said that like 3 years ago.

It's not even that, his guitarwork is all the same, same chords, same lead patterns, The only stand out thing about this album besides vocals is the drumming.

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

Opeth- Where black metal meets canorous acoustic. opeth is definately a good listen; possibly my favourite swedish band.

how about this for a title

Mikael........Jesus christ...........see a resemblance?:naughty:

They aren't black metal. :confused:

Am I the only one who doesn't get the connection between Opeth and "Look Your Last Upon the Sun"??? Is it a lyric? I'm unfortunately not too good at Opeth lyrics except on Still Life....

Am I the only one who notices that "Look Your Last Upon the Sun" is remarkably close to a Metallica lyrics from "For Whom the Bell Tolls"?

[QUOTE]They aren't black metal. [/QUOTE]

They are Black Metal influenced I have heard but I don't really know Black Metal.

My Arms, Your Opeth Thread. :lol:

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]They are Black Metal influenced I have heard but I don't really know Black Metal.[/QUOTE]
They have so many influences, but they are very far from actual black metal of any form. The traces of BM in their music is so light, it is hard to even classify it as a real influence.

Well there you go.

Can I have post 5000 please?

Hehe...

you sneaky son of a gun you:p

i cant believe this thread is still going

Why not? Don't Opeth deserve this much discussion? :mad:

The Moor I think is the best title for the Opeth thread.

What about: The Opeth Corner. yeah. I win.

you know, im pretty sure if it wasnt for opeth, everyone would pretty much despise sweden haha

Demon of the Forum.

In the Forum, she was standing
mehx2

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 ;/

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:

There is a band called Farmakon who are [I]very[/I] 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 :)
