[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]First Opeth I listened:

Benighted.

Then I knew of "Black Rose Immortal", then I knew of Karma, to Bid you farewell... and something else, I can't remember. It's been downhill from there, honestly.[/QUOTE]

Try listening to some more stuff from Still Life onwards. I reccommend The Moor, The Drapery Falls or Bleak as your next listen.

Thanks for the help, but I know a sh¡t load of Opeth at the moment, anyhow. :)

I have GR and Lamentations, and listened to pretty much all of their discography, and I still find Still Life as intriguing. Anyhow, I prefer further riffage, which is less... high, I suppose. The chords used, probably.

Anyhow, I'm still watching Lamentations and laughing at the silly stuff they say. And the awesome Closure Version.

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

Sometimes bands just play songs faster live, like Lamb of God with [I]As The Palaces Burn[/I] on Killadelphia.

any idea why they do that ?:confused: :confused:

It's probably not intentional but just adrenelin of the night kicks in you know.

That's what I'm thinking.

Also, completely off topic In Flames tends to play every song faster live.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Is it really that hard to just hit "stop" on your CD player? :p[/QUOTE]
Actually, yeah...well not really, but after an album like Morningrise, you just want to sit there and absorb that last vibe from the end of the album instead of spending the last moments of the song tensing up to hit stop the second the music ends.

I burned the original five songs to a disc, but I want to eventually actually own all the Opeth albums, that's why.

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.

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.

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!
