Thanks.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Indeed, Damnation leaves me wanting more.[/QUOTE]

It's a pretty good album, though a bit dissonant at times. *cough* weakness *cough*

Death Whispered A Lullaby and Windowpane are my favourites on the album.

Dissonance isn't inherently bad. I actually really like Weakness, it's one of the very few songs on that album that really catches my interest.

Actually, I love Weakness and dislike Death Whispered A Lullaby. :p

Weakness is a great song. I can drift away whenever I listen to it.

Me to, it's excellent to fall asleep to.

They perform Advent in this one video I have. It's also available for streaming...

Enjoy. :)

Hah, come to think of it, when I first bought Damnation, I layed down for the listen and fell alseep after Hope Leaves, then awoke to the end of Weakness. I can't remember what I was dreaming, but it was crazy.

I'm pretty sure that link doesn't work anymore, we went over this a while ago. Sucks..

[QUOTE=Flynn]I got it.[/QUOTE]

Hey Flynn, Do you have anymore?

I got the email but ti's just a bunch of words and numbers, what do I do?

I don't get why everyone hates Death Whispered a Lullaby. I think it's a great song.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Hey Flynn, Do you have anymore?[/QUOTE]


Anymore [B]O[/B]peth videos? Nope that's it, Oh I have Demon Of The fall life, but I think everyone has already seen that.

I like that song. I listen to it frequently.

I have a new topic for discussion.

Everyone seems to associate Opeth's music with winter, and forests, and preferably forests in winter at night with a full moon. Why is this? I do it too, but I have no clue why it is. As far as I know, it's not like a certain style of guitar playing creates a foresty atmosphere. And very few Opeth lyrics actually refer to forests, it's just a once in a while thing.

All I've noticed is, certain albums do it and others don't. Deliverance, for example, doesn't. And Orchid doesn't so much as others, either (for me anyway.)

Any explanations?

I get a really foresty and night time mood from Orchid, specially because of the acoustic guitars... I think the lyrics often play a big role in that to. "We entered winter once again", for example. Deliverance I agree with, no winter moods or any of that. More like a hot summer or something.. I don't know..

Song Titles:

The Forest Of October
Under The Weeping Moon
Into The Frost Of Winter
Moonlapse Vertigo
The Night And The Silent Water
Dirge For November

Lyrics:

Black Rose Immortal - ''Lullaby of the crescent moon, took you...''
Karma - ''The cold season...''
Demon Of The Fall - ''Torn by the arrival of Autumn...''

They tend to have a lot of that structure in their song titles and lyrics.

whats the word called.

uhhh,I dunno, i guess forests and winter sort of creates an atmosphere of darkness.

I just made a banner for my site check it out

[URL="http://williamtmamakeesic.myknet.org/index.php"]http://williamtmamakeesic.myknet.org/index.php[/URL]

The reason why Akerfeldt used to write about the moon a lot, I think, is because they got their band name from Opet taken from a book by Wilbur Smith called Sunbird in 1972. In the book, Opet is ''The City Of The Moon.''

in guitar world, mikael said his most influential album was camel's moonmadness so that might have something to do with it too

But like...what I'm saying is that, despite that not all that many songs have references to winter or forests, a LOT of people always tend to associate Opeth's music with foresty, wintry atmosphere. I was just wondering if anyone has any stories about starting to do that themself and any insight into why it is.

I can see some songs, yeah, like Forest of October, Apostle in Triumph (mentions some "vast enchanted forest") Moonlapse Vertigo (leafy pathways, etc) and so on. But how about everything else?
