[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]This may look like a cheap shot to whore my new review. Bear with me though.

I found a new band, Novembers Doom. They have a very Opeth-esque vibe around them...deep vocals, heavy pounding riffs, and haunting fingerpicked acoustic parts. Yet they have a style all their own, combining death, doom, and atmospheric metal together.

At the bottom of the review, there's a link to their official webpage, with a few of their songs. Check them out...you won't be disappointed.[/QUOTE]


I have that CD and I love it. They're awesome, I listen to it all the time. I think it came out sometime in March, this year, I can't remember. I ordered it from Amazon on a hunch. You have good taste, Future. :thumb:

Oddly enough, I found it looking for a completely different band. :lol:

Then I downloaded their entire discography off of soulseek onto my friend's computer...I need to actually buy their albums. They're one band that I don't mind spending cash on, simply because they are so good.

Morningrise probably has some of the best acoustic work Opeth has done.

Ha! I can't remember what I was looking for at the time, but it lead me to Novembers Doom :lol: Thank whatever band I was looking for. Future, I love you! Morningrise has excellent acoustic riffs not to mention epic twin leads. The album is ''Epic'' to my persona. I can't explain it in writing, but there's a certain feeling I get when I listen to that album I cannot describe if I was forced to upon death. I am so happy I had the opportunity to hear this album in my lifetime, It has had a tremendous impact on my musical taste, and writing style. I think Morningrise is my favorite album.

Oddly enough, I've only listened to Morningrise once. :upset:

I dunno if it's a combination of the fact that there's no song under 11 minutes, or the bad production, but I can't seem to get into that album.

I remember it had unbelievable riffs that never repeated though. That might have put me off (the second part, not the first).

Do you want it?

I have it...thanks anyway. :)

I'll give it a listen again sometime in the near future...I have WAY too much stuff I haven't listened to yet. :upset:

I'll be sure to check them out. They sound pretty cool.

Today while listening to BWP I realized that my favorite Opeth riff is the one that comes on at about 3:15 in Bleak, when the clean vocals come in. It's so beautiful and climatic.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]I heard something that the States were like, 38 trillion dollars in debt... thats pretty bad...

Not to mention Chinas planning to start a war with you guys soon...[/QUOTE]

Common misconception. The Chinese have no desire to start a war with the United States...acts or displays of militarism are simply due to the fact that they're kinda worried about us doing the same thing. If a war were started, it would most likely be initiated by the United States in response to China initiating military action in Taiwan, and even then I'm not sure if we would actually go to war over it. As a people, the Chinese are very warm and peaceful, and even their government is more interested in building itself up than necessarily knocking us down.

Anyways, this is getting VERY off topic. Opeth rules. 'nuff said.

Yeah, Bleak is such a powerful song, [I]''Mist ripples 'round your thin white neck, and draws me a line, Cold fingers mark this dying wreck this moment is mine''[/I] Both lyrically and musically. I think the best part of Blackwater Park, the album, starts at around 6:41 on the song Bleak. That riff as a whole is so elusive. I lose myself and go in a trance whenever I hear it. The bass is what gives it it's ''battery''

I was disappointed to learn that Steven Wilson sang the initial verse vocals of "Bleak." For the longest time I thought it was Mikael's finest melodic singing moment. :upset:

Initial verse vocals? You mean.....the growls? That's Mikael, actually.

[/intentional misunderstanding for the sake of humor]
Anyways, Mikael's finest singing point is during the acoustic sections of Godhead's Lament (screw you, Darkness :p ).


Flynn, I think I know what part you're talking about, and yes....it is amazing.

I was just watching this bootleg'd Opeth performance the guitarist in my band gave me a while ago, and it reminded me how awesome of a song A Fair Judgement is. Ok...say what you will about the rhyming scheme, some of those melodies in there are just plain :eek: !

I think the greatest vocal moment for Mikael is the end of... dear God what's it called again? Moonlapse Vertigo? I think that's it, anyway, I love his vocals in that bit, I just rewind it over and over again.

And my favourite Opeth moment is probably the "his soul is a vortex" part in Baying of the Hounds, or the "I have sacrificed more than I have!" in Beneath The Mire... I dunno. Or just the whole The Drapery Falls song.

/Is seeing Opeth tonight in St.pete.

I cant wait. Not being a Death metal fan I have never heard of the two opening acts, Nevermore and...Someone else..(Forget)

Anyway, Can't wait to see it :)

Nevermore arent Death Metal...

But anyways, I hope i go see Opeth in their next tour. February I think... not to sure.

I think his greatest vocal moment is in Hours of Wealth. The part where it's just him and the guitar. His voice totally carries the song, and it's probably the song where he sings in tune the most. I think Ghost Reveries has his greatest vocals ever overall.

Sry if that sounded sarcastic, it didnt mean to be.

Nevermore has some death influences, but the vocals are more power/thrash orientated and mostly clean. You'll probably dig 'em.....great band.

Hey for the tour in february, are Opeth touring alone ?

That's also one of my favorites. It's a great clean passage. It reminds me of elevator music with pizzazz. :p

I'm not sure I'd take that as a compliment...:) I do love that riff, though.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Anyways, Mikael's finest singing point is during the acoustic sections of Godhead's Lament (screw you, Darkness :p ).[/QUOTE]

I concur.

Now, some of you get on MSN and give me some November's Doom.

There was a big thread on November's Doom a while back. I think Det Nosnip made it, or possibly Dancin' Man. I have a few of their songs, it's kind of like Agalloch except with better drumming and vocals.

The Moors vocal lines are much better. :D


And faith+1, you will love Nevermore... I'm slowly becoming a fanboy of that band. :upset:

I think its safe to say Mikeals best vocal work lies within Still Life.

Hehe, my new find is getting recognition. :D

Scruples, if you aren't already a part of the Daily Upload, go sign up for it. My friend (the one that I downloaded Novembers Doom onto his computer) sent out an album of theirs for the email.

If not, I'll forward you the link.

This is the only thread I've seen that can keep conversation going by repeating topics like that.
