Yeah, I would have went to the Shepherd's Bush show (where they filmed the DVD) but I had just got back from holidaying last year and didn't know about it.

And the DVD has just made me want to see them even more. :upset:

I love Opeth, although I only own Deliverence and ****ation.

[QUOTE=Distorted Vision]Actually, I just looked on Blabbermouth.net:

''Sweden's OPETH are officially free agents as a result of having been dropped by BMG/Zomba after their previous label, Music For Nations, was folded into parent company Zomba Records Group (the world's largest independent music group). The band are looking through new offers at the moment.''

That was Friday's news. I wonder who will sign them. I'd say Century Media are probably favourites, but maybe Nuclear Blast could get them. I just hope they sort out a deal soon.[/QUOTE]


They should go to Metal Blade. They aren't a bad label at all.

Metal Blade aren't bad, not at all, but century media will give opeth more creative freedom than metalblade who are under the stronghold of the RIAA, and although metal blade pretty much does let their bands do what they want, they may try to shape opeth into something more mareketable because someone higher up said they must.

Yes. I don't know whats going to happen, hopefully it will be a wise decision. I don't think they want them to sound different, that's the money maker. Being original. New Album is so far away :upset: I just deleted over 4000 songs from my WMP im pissed! :angry: Stupid Spybot...Now...to get them back...

It really does depend heavily on the label they are on. Century Media delt with opeth in the past, and im sure would be very glad to pick them up again. Nuclear blast is okay, but they really wouldn't fit on that label very well. They really couldn't do anything smaller than those two though, it just wouldn't work.

Yes I agree, But I don't see them going to Nuclear Blast, I can Definately see them going to Century Media though. Great Label :thumb:

I edited the title, for those who wondered.

[COLOR=Pink]The title for what?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Pink]What title did you edit? I didn't like the name of this thread anyways when I made it...I wasn't thinking...Blonde moment.[/COLOR]

Blonde moment? Don't tell me that's you in your avatar! :p

[COLOR=Pink]Unfortunately, yes. I have 2 Pictures of Myself on my CPU, this one and the one on my Profile from my 1996 Graduation in Phoenix.[/COLOR]

which opeth album shall i add to my bday list? people talk highly

Flynn: :amaze: You serious? I kinda expected you to be a . . . . guy, I guess. Don't see many Opeth-loving girls round here at all.

fukkus: Get Blackwater Park if you haven't heard them before, or Morningrise if so.

Orchid[UK]
Morningrise
[B]My Arms, Your Hearse[/B]
Still Life

[COLOR=Pink]This music grows on you like vines.
I wasn't that impressed when I first heard Opeth, but I couldn't get it out of my head!
IMO they rule the music scene :thumb: [/COLOR]




[I]Once inside i heard the whispers in the parlour
the killing faces grin
Aware of my final...demise

And I Cried
When she had lied
Her obsession died
It had died

[B]When Can I take you from this place?
When is a word but a sigh?
When is death our lone beholder?
When do we walk the final steps?
When can we scream instead of whisper?
When is the new beginning and the end of this sad madrigal...?[/I][/B]

[QUOTE=prsinthismutha]Black Sabbath.....they created the genre, if it weren't for them there would be no opeth, because all the bands that inspired opeth would not exsist in their entity either[/QUOTE]


[COLOR=Pink]How can you even put the 2 in the same sentence? Black Sabbath is good don't get me wrong but, Opeth are from Sweden, plus they sound nothing like Black Sabbath. Their influences were:

Katatonia
Asphyx
Emporer
At The Gates
Ethnocide


Death Metal.[/COLOR]

Katatonia are a great band, I've just been getting into them. Very mellow.

[COLOR=Pink]Viva... is a good LP. Lets play Lyrical Pursuit!

What song is this from? And what band?[/COLOR]






[I]I have gone away. The bed is cold and empty.
Trees bend their boughs toward the earth.
And nighttime birds float as black faces.
It was the hand reaching out through the mirror. [/I]

I love opeth. I have no albums but 'To bid you farewell' is simply the most beautiful song i have ever heard.

Blck rose immortal hasn't grown on me yet but im sure it will...

[COLOR=Pink]Definately. That's my fav Opeth song. Black Rose Immortal.[/COLOR]

So flynn what album do you reccomend me for a first opeth album?

[COLOR=Pink]My Arms, Your Hearse. It's got everything you need to start out your Opeth Journey. IMO that is. Credence is very Soft and eerie, and April Ethereal has great Double Kick. Karma has a good interlude and When is the best song on that LP making the [I]Story[/I] complete.[/COLOR]

I'd say Blackwater Park ..but thats jst my oppinion

ya i would blackwater park one of my fav opeth albums there simply an awesome band

[COLOR=Pink]Blackwater Park is a great recording. Bleak is one of my top 5 Opeth songs dude to it's complexity. When the bass comes in at around 7 minutes or so it give's me Shivers. I wished they would have played Bleak live. Come to think of it, I think Bleak and Black Rose Immortal have never been played live...I wonder why?[/COLOR]




[I]
Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
That day came to an end.
And she had lost in me, her Credence [/I]

[COLOR=Pink]I hear that they are getting the old Drummer back...Anyone hear that?[/COLOR]

What happened to Lopez then?

I don't know. I hear they are getting their old drummer from the Orchid/Mornigrise era. You hear that too?

[QUOTE=Flynn][COLOR=Pink]I hear that they are getting the old Drummer back...Anyone hear that?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Nope, where did you hear that?

By teh way, is that you in your avatar?

I did not hear that at all. And although their first drummer was good, he is no Lopez, that guy is a brilliant drummer. I would be very interested to see where he goes if he is no longer in Opeth.
