which do you suggest i get know?[/QUOTE]

any album man, I'm serious, I think all their albums are worthy.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth][B]WARNING![/B] This is extremely off-topic.

2Stranger, you said a while back you converted A Fair Judgement from the DVD to an audio file, how do you do that?[/QUOTE]



hello, I haven't posted here in a long long time, just by chance I saw your post.

but anyways:

a friend of mine sent me a program called DVD audio ripper, and it allows you to rip dvd's (entirely, and a mp3 files)
it just takes very very long to get them ripped but it's worth it.
it's awesome, great Opeth recordings at 192 kbs bit rate.


well, and actually, I have the entire dvd ripped as mp3 files, including the documentary.

if you're having trouble finding the program (which should be floating around somewhere on p2p though) contact me on msn, and I'll hook you up with some sings.

cheers!

Enjoy. :)[/QUOTE]
:eek:

That was great!

Anyone that likes Opeth will most likely enjoy Ensiferum as well. You guys may already know them, but they are great. Not quite as good as Opeth but still a very good death/folkish metal band.

You know the rest I assume. Go buy it :thumb: .

Hmmm... no Blackwater Park? :(

No, but that would have been cool.

Yeah, they better play that + some Still Life stuff at Sounds of the underground...

Ok, so the deal with RoadRunner is now official.

That make me kinda nervous. I look forward to hear some new material.

Meh.I have faith in the guys.Im sure this wont stop them from making quality music.RR is very aware of their huge fanbase, so they wont touch them musically.Anyway.....heres the Blabbermouth article:

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on April 18, OPETH mainman Mikael Åkerfeldt has now officially confirmed to MTV.com that the band have finalized a deal with New York's Roadrunner Records, bolstering an imposing roster that already includes KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SLIPKNOT, OBITUARY and CRADLE OF FILTH.

Åkerfeldt disclosed several details about the band's forthcoming, self-produced opus. The follow-up to 2003's acoustic masterpiece, "****ation", and OPETH's first disc in years without producer Steve Wilson, the album will include "Ghost of Tradition", "The Baying of the Hounds" and "Isolation Years".

"Musically, '****ation' was an experiment for us," Åkerfeldt told MTV.com. "It also helped us to develop our sound. So this time around, you can say the overall record is going to be heavy-sounding. There's also a couple of songs that are more in the style of '****ation', so to speak. We also have a new member in the band, our keyboard player, Per Wiberg. So we have some vintage keyboards this time around on the heavy material as well. Overall, this one is heavy."

Åkerfeldt said OPETH will finish the record before month's end and expect to release it as early as late August. He also said they'll play some new material this summer as part of the inaugural Sounds of the Underground tour.

"We've never done anything like [a festival tour] before, but this is a new thing, so we're excited," he said. "It's a good chance to reach out to people who've never heard from us. I'm also looking forward to seeing STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and CLUTCH perform. Many of the bands on the tour I've never heard of."

im going a little off topic guys but do you think i would like them? i listen to stuff like tool and dream theater, but if they have one of the growler dudes as a lead singer count me out already. im also having a hard time to find any music online from them to stream, any suggestions?

sorry this question sounds retarded but......ah oh well

As long as Opeth doesn't change their style JUST to make money, I'm ok with them on RR.

:( If you're that opposed to growling, then most of their stuff might not be for you. You may enjoy the Dam nation album, however, as it is all clean vocals.

I used to HATE growling until i began listening to Opeth. You just have to give it time. Now they are one of my favourite bands.

I think one of their fan sites has streams of some of their songs. Just type Opeth into google and go through, you will probably find something. :thumb:

you should really give the growling vocals some time, believe me, they will grow on you.
at first I was like: 'they write exellent riffs, but why those vocals over top of that, ruining the song? :( '

but now I've come to appreciate them, I noticed how great they mix, and how well this is an addition to the music.
this may sound weird, but the growls improve the emotion-feel of the song.

for example:
The moor of the still life album.

when Mikael growls 'No mercy would help me on my way
In the pouring rain nothing is the same.'
that's just so full of emotion, you can feel the pain in his growl

I managed to get into the growl vocals on BWP and Still Life quickly, to the point where i now wish I could growl myself.

However, I still cannot get into the earlier growls on Morningrise. Those take some serious time to adjust to I feel.

BWP was my first album with growling, and before I bought it, I hated growling. After the first listen it grew on me infinitly. Give it a try.

I like the Morningrise growls myself though, I think the curve into those may be easier for the uninitiated.

NP: Porcupine Tree - Trains

Speaking of Porcupine Tree...I'm seeing them next friday. :)

Take pictures and post them up:)?

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]Speaking of Porcupine Tree...I'm seeing them next friday. :)[/QUOTE]

Is that in Cincinnatti?

Chicago, actually. The venue doesn't allow cameras that I know of, may be kinda hard. :(

so.........sneak one in, hidden in a big cowboy hat :cool:

^^ Haha I'm originally from Texas, but I don't actually own a Cowboy hat at the moment. :(

I bought Deliverance yesterday. It's a really good album, but it didn't wow me like the other albums. I think my favorite track is A Fair Judgement, the atmosphere is amazing.
