[QUOTE=Flynn]It's strange I can hear a ghost note right after the last line of [I]To Bid You Farewell[/I] for a long time after the song stops...that last guitar note lingers in my head always, it's beautiful.[/QUOTE]

You know, I feel the exact same thing everytime that sing ends aswell. It's such an amazingly beautiful song.

Alright, what songs from Orchid am I sending out?

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Alright, what songs from Orchid am I sending out?[/QUOTE]

Whichever you think are the best ones.

EDIT - Thanks for the songs. First listen through. Very different to newer Opeth but I'm quite liking it.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Alright, what songs from Orchid am I sending out?[/QUOTE]

Could I possibly get those? I don't have Orchid.

[QUOTE=Ventriloquist]umm in lamentations gig do they play deliverence song a little faster ? maybe to save some time ? it sounds faster than the album one[/QUOTE]


I'd have to compare which I'm too lazy to do now. It seems maybe a litte faster.

I watched Lamentations last night.

The best live DVD/video I've ever watched.

You watch him sing so beautifully on the first half.
Then these brutal growls on the second set.

If you closed your eyes... I doubt you'd think it was the same singer.

I can't wait till I get Lamentations. The thought of the outro of Deliverance played live with that insane groove extra fast is really hot.

They cut it short by about 2 min.

lmao nice bro wicked how much did it cost n e way

Orchid, what a story I have to tell. I usually go to the local music store here in town and almost every time I go there with a certain band in mind, I have to order what I want. I had recently bought Blackwater Park and wanted to further my Opeth collection so I decided to go take a glance at what else they had. The only CD they had there by Opeth was Orchid, I picked it up, glanced at the back to see the song titles and never let it go the entire time I surfed the rack. I picked up maybe 4 or 5 others, but only left with Orchid. I listened to that CD for 3 weeks straight in my car, never changed the CD and I have many! Orchid seriously had a huge impact on how I see music today, especially how I write it. Orchid is one of the best CDs I've ever bought and hate to think what my taste would be without buying it on that particular day.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Have I mentioned how ****ing lucky you are for living in Stockholm? :upset:

Do you ever run into any awesome bands?[/QUOTE]
I think of myself as being extremely lucky:)

Let's see... I have actually met both Martin Lopez and Mikael Åkerfeldt (but not at the same time, though). This running into bands doesn't happen alot, but it does happen, I usually run into Swedish actors and actresses (I'm not fan of Swedish movies, most of them suck).

Hehe..still, you live in the birthplace of melodic death metal!

ballet is SO metal

A brief and maybe somewhat odd "support show" will be given by Ballet Deviare in New York on the 23rd of february. The performance is called "...And The Devil Knows Why" and they will be dancing to Opeths track "Deliverance".

Ballet Deviare
Title of work- "...And The Devil Knows Why"
Choreographer- Laura Kowalewski
Composer-Opeth, "Deliverance"
Dancers- Samantha Koetsier, Shannon Plumstead, Erika Sutter, and Julia Welsh
New York City Premiere-December 18th, 2004

Company Statement:
The visceral fusion of two seemingly total opposites. A maelstrom of a marriage between the beauty and grace of ballet, and the force and brutality of metal. Bringing high art and extreme music together. Incorporated in November of 2003, Ballet Deviare is a non-profit contemporary ballet company residing in New York City. Ballet Deviare strives to reach a vast audience ranging from balletomanes to those who have never been exposed to the art of ballet. Deviating from what is expected within the norm of ballet companies (which is how the name of the company came into being), Ballet Deviare has harnessed an eclectic audience ranging from dance connoisseurs to those individuals who have never attended a ballet performance.
Ballet Deviare's choreographic projects entail the merging of what may appear at first glance to be complete opposites, the beauty and grace of ballet combined with the power and force of metal music. Not for the faint of heart, Kowalewski's choreographic works range from adagio inspired movements invoked by the darkened melodies of doom, to petit allegro propelled by the double base drums and thunderous riffs of death metal and grind.

Hehe....first a music video, now...BALLET?!!? :eek:

:lol:

I hope to God that there is a bootleg that leaks right away. I would love to see that.

You think Deliverance will be remixed a bit? Or will they perform to the true song?

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Hehe....first a music video, now...BALLET?!!? :eek:[/QUOTE]

That is so awesome!

It's the weirdest thing ever! It could be straight out of the 60s....

It will be interesting, I suppose, although I think ballet in general is really sick. I don't think destroying one's own body for the sake of art is very cool.

yeah a little faster. you're right it's wonderful performance. mikael has a nice brutal voice ...and a clean one.

it will be an interesting piece of art. I think they will change the song a little bit :S otherwise I cant imagine them dancing in the outro part of deliverence :)

[QUOTE=Ventriloquist]umm in lamentations gig do they play deliverence song a little faster ? maybe to save some time ? it sounds faster than the album one[/QUOTE]

Yes. Deliverance is usually 10bpm or so faster live, and on Lamentations they cut out two or three rounds of the outro, no idea why.

Have you seen the dancers' feet after a show? It's awful, their toenails are cracked and bleeding, they have huge bruises.. you just know that their feet weren't meant for that kind of abuse.

The ONE single show that's playing close to me, I don't get to see Dark Tranquillity and Devin Townsend.

DAMN YOU ALL. :confused:

The awesomest thing Opeth or any other band have done recently and you're unhappy? :angry:

Dunno about DT, but Devin will tour again. Enjoy the ballet and be glad. I'd kill to be in your shoes.

Dude, Dark Tranquillity is one of my favorite bands. And Townsend would be awesome to see in concert.

I almost NEVER get to go to concerts.

Although it WOULD be interesting...

Ahh. Devin is indeed awesome in concert. If it makes you feel better, Opeth aren't performing here but Devin Townsend's headlining instead. I feel your pain. Mikael promised they'd be back in February. :upset:

Enjoy your concert. I'm sure it'll be very interesting.

:chug:

I don't even know if I can go either. :angry: :angry: :angry:

I hate not having a lisence...or not being old enough to drive.

I could kill someone to go to that show! I'm pretty sure the show's gonna be awesome!

I don't think you can have passengers even until 18.
