OPeth is good, but Dream Theater is the best metal band, they are simply just one of the best bands ever.

[QUOTE=Six String Fiend]OPeth is good, but Dream Theater is the best metal band, they are simply just one of the best bands ever.[/QUOTE]
I agree. Opeth is definitely one of my favorites, but Dream Theater holds the top spot.

mexicanfloydian How Do I change it then?

Death has got to be the best metal band of all time. They set the standard for all death metal and metal influenced by it.

oooooohhhh
****, nice. I don't know....Napalm Death has been around for a while. :evil:

Skycamefalling isn't a bad band at all. I like them, They ok :thumb:

Napalm Death = partial creators of Grind along with Carcass[I think it was Carcass]

So thats what they are for. Death = Death Metal Gods. At The Gates = Swedish Death Metal Gods. \m/

[QUOTE=Flynn]Skycamefalling isn't a bad band at all. I like them, They ok :thumb:[/QUOTE]

I LOVE skycamefalling. One of my favorite bands besides Misery Signals, Glass Casket, and On Broken Wings.

Yup, I'm a metalcore maniac. I like me some heavy chug-chug-chug breakdowns even if they do sound the same I don't care I love it anyway.

Yes it was carcass, and Death are responsible for about 80% of the metal around today. Chuck influenced just about every genre of metal in some way or another, the man was brilliant.

Yes, he was. Too bad he died of throat cancer[yet again, unsure but I think I'm right about this one]

I really enjoy The Sound Of Preservance a lot. Especially the song Spirit Crusher, maybe its because it's the funnest song to play on bass. It's so awesome.

If you like Skycamefalling you might like [I]Haste The Day[/I]. They aren't bad at all. I like [I]Burning Bridges[/I], It's very Original I think. They are ok :thumb: Many Waters is a badass song by HtD, and Breaking my own heart. Kinda short though....5 minutes a song? wtf is that lol









[U][B][I]I lament this heritage
Cannot bid farewell
The pale face...you went as far as you could

I witnessed your beauty, fealt your death
Mine is yours, mine is yours
In the wake of dawn
The mist of morning linger before it leaves

Invisible eyes, red reflection
It is you
Smiling in the midst of the moor[/I][/B][/U]

It was a brain tumor if you want to get technical about it, The sound of Perserverance is a great album, but IMO Individual Thought Patterns was the best. As awesome of a drummer as Christy is, Hoglan is supreme, and Steve Digiorgio on bass didn't hurt much either :thumb:

Yeah, I've heard of HtD. I have both albums. They are good. I've heard of every metalcore band out now, so yeah. I'm not lying either, I even know local bands in some areas. Because I'm so hungry for metalcore 24/7.

Nice
I am in search of same thing bro
Since I discovered Opeth, I kinda in IDLE atm lol

HTD is from my area. I've seen them live recently.

Flynn, I was in other threads, that explains why it took me so long to answer.

What Kaden said :Just go to your original post and click "edit post" and then edit what the title is.

By the way, six string fiend, DT is also my fav metal band.

Iron Maiden of course!

[QUOTE=Kaden]I love you Flynn. You're my new MX buddy. could you post your MSN/AIM address here?[/QUOTE]


Thanx bro :cool:
I don't use AIM at all.

Hell Yeah bro :thumb: I like all Opeth, Some of the most Eeriest Riffs I have ever heard are on the Still Life LP.

Serenity Painted Death - Opeth (Still Life)

I have all the albums, the DVD, and have seen them live, plus make it my task to learn as much of their music as possible (both guitar and bass).

Hell yeah. I can play most of the morningrise CD and some of Orchid. I am still trying to play the Intro to The Apostle In Triumph but I can't get the right sound. I might need a MARTIN for that one lol. But yes their music is very intricate and uplifting as well. I like playing in Mist She Was Standing, I have a pedal that records so I record All the lower guitar parts then play over them in Real Time. It's a great Feeling :cool:

^ Ahh, I adore the lyrics to To Bid You Farewell.

Good to see someone as mad about Opeth as you, man. They too are one of my favourite bands. Mikael is a genius, no band has affected me like they have since I think I bought my first metal record (Metallica by the way ;) ). And it's quite amazing how consistent they've been throughout all their albums, from Orchid to ****ation.

My favourites are Blackwater Park and Morningrise though, with Still Life up there two. I know there's a lot of guys like you who swear by the old stuff (up to MAYH) as the best, but as much as I love those songs, my favourite Opeth track of all is Blackwater Park. The riff that builds up around 5:10 is one of the most striking moments I've had in music, it knocks me out [b]every single time.[/b]

I think you'll find quite a few here who share your love. :thumb:

:D Lotta love bro. Yes They are madly Deep. The first Record I ever bought was master of Puppets back in like 1990...I remember this dude at scool, he showed me the CD cover and I went out and bought the tape. I can't talk bad about Metallica fo I was obsessed with them for years. I play all their riffs on guitar for years. Every song from Kill em all - to AJFA. They actually made my guitar playing. I have been playing for 11 years now, Trying to get another Drummer. Anyway...WHat I am trying to say is, they kinda wore me out ya know? Since Load Reload I been looking for something more. And I discovered Opeth. A lot of Death Metal bands try to Scream, Then Sing, but Mikael has this, eerie vibe to his voice. My favorite song By Opeth is [B]Black Rose Immortal[/B] by a Landslide. Which is still Number 1 on my List. I listened to that song 178 times on my Windows Media Player alone lol. Not to mention I listen to it every Day I am at work. Good to see people that enjoy Opeth here :D



[I]Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper

A black face in the streaming water[/I]

I'm finding the same thing with Metallica. Actually, it's been like that for quite a while. I saw them live in November and it was incredible, but, for example, I haven't listened to KEA in many months. I think I just got bored after 3 years of Metallica every day, plus I was more into Dream Theater, but now even they're wearing off a little as my horizons expand further, lately with bands like Mr Bungle, Pain Of Salvation and Spock's Beard. But actually, I put on S&M today and the magic was still there. I'm expecting a rediscovering of them some time soon.

But this is an Opeth thread, so let me just say that as well as being a terrific poet, Mikael's voice just bring the beauty to life. Even his growl is one of the most polished I've heard in death metal, and it's amazing the way he just switches like a man possessed from sweet singing to furious growling so easily. And he says he doesn't think he has a very good voice. :rolleyes:

Opeth ****ing own..thats all u need to know..
first album i got was Blackwater Park..but Orchid changed my views on music..i never knew there were bands making 10 minute masterpieces on every song on an album..wish i could have got into them sooner..more people need to realise the talent they have..and they can pull it off live..the DVD is great..Mikael is one of my favourite frontmen

Yes, you know why? Some of the greatest artists of all time always put themselves down to bring them up. I am glad he is like that. If he was arrogant i wouldn't like Opeth as much. But yes his growl doesn't sound Choppy or Demonic, Just Sad/ Angry. His songs are like Movie stories if that makes sense. Wow I love them. I can't stress that enough. Yes I am obsessed. The first song I listened to was [B]In Mist She Was Stand[/B]ing and the Outro gave me goosebumps till the song was over. You know that Acoustic riff right before the D, C, A^ riff? Yeah that riff. None of their Albums sound the same. They are going to revolutionize Music.

:D

Same here. Since they Hail from Sweden, It's hard to find out about them. I live in Iowa so you can just about immagine lol. just think of all the bands out there that aren't signed...

[QUOTE=Flynn] None of their Albums sound the same. They are going to revolutionize Music.
[/QUOTE]

Well, they're already gaining quite a lot of popularity in metal circles, so they will get bigger in the future. An album like D[color=white]am[/color]nation will also bring them wider appeal, maybe even to some 'MTV metal' kids....



.... just a shame for them, then, that Mikael said he wants the next album to go back to black metal! :lol:

Hell yeah! I can't wait. He is writing at the moment, New Album 1st Quarter 2005. I wonder what it's going to sound like? It's going to be good either way. Have you ever heard of the band [B]Fragments of Unbecoming[/B]? I bought the CD entitled [I]Skywards: A Sylphe's Ascension [/I] a couple weeks ago and it ****ing owns! I suggest you buy it if you havn't heard it.

Song tracks are:

[B]Up from the Blackest of Soil (Ascension Theme)
The Seventh Sunray Enlights My Pathway
Shapes Of The Pursuers
Skywards/A Sylphe's Ascension
Mesmerized
Entangled Whispers In The Depth
Scattered To the Four Winds
On A Scars Edge To Infinity
Lour Pulse
Fear My Hatred
Insane Chaosphere
Lifes Last Embers (Farewell Theme)[/B]
