The Baying of the Hounds - Opeth

[imapisces23]

i always have and always will fucking love opeth with every aspect of my being

[harryhengel]

I used to listen this song continiously when my uncle died a few years ago. I can still feel the sadness in this song; I love it though!

[XAutumnApocalypseX]

I don't think that the proper words exist to describe Opeth. <3

[chasevickers95]

This song is so badass.

[Diego23838]

I am waiting Autumn.

[MetulHam]

@Diego23838 All Opeth fans are

[abdulla541]

which album is this from?

[SomethingWild9608]

@abdulla541 Ghost Reveries

[philemonpersing]

I keep putting my Opeth playlist on to work to, and end up just sitting and listening for over an hour, unable to concentrate on anything else.

[unease2020]

@philemonpersing exactly what I'm doing right now XD

[SirMooseCraft]

The drop D opening riff is earth-shatteringly amazing

[mick17]

@SirMooseCraft indeed it is an awesome riff. But the tuning to this song is D-A-D-F-A-E, which I believe is Open Dmin add9.

[SirMooseCraft]

@mick17 oh... sweet, thanks dude

[formerviking]

Seeing them play this live in Philly was the concert highlight of the year for me . Of course , it was when they were touring for this release so it's been a while .

[314Freiheit161]

This song reminds me of Neil Gaiman's American Gods for some reason.

[ravenouscolonelhart]

its awesome how ridiculously evil this song is, even for opeth.

[MetallHead9]

9:43 - 10:15 is simply godly. One of the best moments in opeth's discography

[Migas128]

YES now i want tacos!

[RedIdmolos]

Best Made Tacos of the Earth ROFL so epic and true

[thevisi0naryy]

What is it about opeth. Im not sure if its the time frame or just theme that i get from them but i cant explain how it makes me feel.

[hashimali72]

brutal

[hashimali72]

Progressive death metal

[Colbystrns]

One of the first Opeth songs I ever listened to, and it still remains one of my favorites by this amazing band. Opeth for life

[AndrzejWilkable]

sweet:p

[error404error404]

Stranger kissing your wife/girlfriend/crush? I'd say "douchey", not exactly evil.

[MoonlapseOpethian]

@error404error404 Nope. Stealing another man's love is worse than evil.

[baturtogay]

Mike Portnoy suggested, so I listened to this song. Solid, but I'm not used to moos in songs yet.

[crionics88]

"The tainted lips of a stranger

Resting upon hers"

EVIL!!!

[progvincent]

5:22 it's incredible how much power there is in that section... It goes so deep. I love Opeth

[harryperch10]

Mike Protnoy bring me here!

[gtmthegreat]

0:27 "Best made Tacos of the Earth."

[celebrain]

@gtmthegreat I can't listen to Face of Melinda without hearing 'This is when no-one will butter' and now I will be stuck with 'Best made tacos of the earth' ... Opeth makes me hungry.

[Alejop1995]

@gtmthegreat fuck man, i loled at that

[spidarz]

@gtmthegreat OMFG LOL, I love it

[Migas128]

@gtmthegreat LOOOOOL so funny XD

[FrutaPuertaPuerta]

@gtmthegreat "Diabolical Peas"

[MrFrancox44]

@gtmthegreat jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja­!!!!

[HeirApparent91]

@gtmthegreat Diabolical BEANS roaming the forest.

[ws87ws]

@gtmthegreat ROFLMAO

[Diakonov29]

1:50 its all the about the riffs baby

[MrIPunchHard]

The regular singing part sounds EXACTLY like Dave Grohl

[wedonttastetheair]

@MrIPunchHard HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA

[RhythmDramatist]

@MrIPunchHard omg why did u make me notice that... :P

[fawkes78]

@MrIPunchHard huh ? no it doesn't lol

[FeedThemCake]

the drumming is just awesome... the best of Lopez

[UnshackledMind86]

This album is the nails in opeths coffin

[Asrakorn]

and

Lined up verses on dead skin

"The tainted lips of a stranger

Resting upon hers."

[Asrakorn]

His mouth is a vortex

Sucking you into it's pandemonium

Fools you with a helping hand of ashes

Reached out in false dismay

His body is a country

The cities lay dead and beyond despair

Friends turned enemies unable to come clean

In a rising fog of reeking death

[DrSuperFantastic1]

Opeth is GREAT music to do homework to. Lol

[hany259]

@DrSuperFantastic1 hahaahhahaha

[Puss34]

@DrSuperFantastic1

bitch please!Opeth is great music for everything!

[LucicPower]

When the hell are Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt going to collaborate. If he can create Blackfield level material with Avi Geffen imagine what he could make with Mikael!!!( And I mean directly collaborate, dual input all around)

[uruzumi]

@LucicPower i hear you man. That would take greatness to a whole new level. My two favorite bands at the moment. I would like...cry of joy being alive to see that happen. Steven Wilson helped Opeth in making some of their records, and they produce them. The total convergence is imminent!

[KingGiles75]

the hounds are after 6 people to kill them

[evanbf87]

This is the first death metal song I heard, back when I was a teen. I never looked back.

[thevisi0naryy]

if you dislike this your an idiot

[M43157r0m]

@thevisi0naryy

You seriously undermine your point by writing like one.

Not everybody can appreciate growling and for six people it ruins the song. You have to accept that.

[thevisi0naryy]

@M43157r0m usually i dont reply to posts like this. but honestly its just seriously annoying when people try tieing slightly incorrect grammar to an opinion, i dont talk like an idiot. Just because i didnt spell your as "YOU'RE" and i dont go through the trouble of punctuating everything because im leaving a comment on youtube and not writing an essay or something important. everything i say is readable and gets the point across, but your going to complain about punctuation? really? shut up

[LegendaryRoryG]

I've listened to this 7 times today already :S Opeth addiction is beginning to return!

[WatershineBand]

/watch?v=LUyQx9cQaD4

We are a band called Watershine and we play progressive metal. Although it's not always so obvious, we are pretty influenced by Opeth, and we would appreciate if you listened to our demo and maybe left a comment :) Please don't mark this as spam, we're just trying to spread our music!

[FormerlyMrBean667]

00:12 Serious headbanging.

[Byjum]

Ehh... not impressed.

[PERPowns]

@Byjum than go listen to something else... you are reeaaaalllyy dumb :D

[Byjum]

@PERPowns No, I'm not dumb at all, I just don't really get into this song. People have been trying to tell me to check out Opeth, and they're not bad by any means. They're just not my type of thing.

[ravenouscolonelhart]

@Byjum HERESY (lol just jokes). I personally find it hard to imagine that anyone could find Opeth in general (if not this song specifically - but check out the slow sections!) to be NOT some of the best music of the last 50 years.

[GregTehGoose]

3:57 one of my favourite Opeth moments, such a textural and mysterious part of the song

[directorc1]

OMG, at 5:24......chills assault my spine.

[dujfraz]

from 9:43 to 10:13 has enough music and depth to it that you could make an entire song out of it. yet its just 30 seconds of an 11 minute opeth song. their the most musically deep band i've ever heard of.

[WindRoseOfficial]

One word.. GREAT

[Vlad31]

this is sick



[LeafytheGreat]

I LOVE the organs that go all through this song. They're very unusual mixed with Mikael's growls. Actually, quite a few odd musical parts. Very interesting song overall.

[MegaGod2]

what is up with the art man that is not an Opeth album cover at all

[grandfunkie]

And now here's our good friend Frank Zappa. Doing a little number called Ya Hozna. Signed, Laurence Welk.

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Such a manly song.

[ediek915]

The ghost snare hits at 3:44 are awesome... Martin Lopez is the man!

[krazyvidkid13]

this is my favorite opeth song hands down

[X3rce5]

@ all these people declaring they listen to other bands besides Opeth....no one cares and neither should you. Fucking amazing song, definitely in my Top 5 Opeth tracklist

[SingOutToOurWorld]

@VuuDuu9 I listen to Lady Gaga, Alexandra Stan, Owl City and Bruno Mars but i also listen to Opeth, Creature Feature, Black Veil Brides, Avenged Sevenfold, Jack Off Jill and more...

[Cows4jessy]

@SingOutToOurWorld dude a7x stole that logo from overkill, i fucking hate those assholes.

[220friend]

@SingOutToOurWorld owl city is so gay, that its gay if chicks listen to it.

[MrCh33pshot]

I just compiled a list of the top 10 greatest songs of all time.

We have a #1 here.

[ChevelleMalibu402]

LINED..UP..VERSES..ON..DEAD..S­KIN..THE..TAINTED..LIPS..OF..T­HE STRANGER RESTING UPON HERRRRRRRS!!! 

[Zeta9966]

@VuuDuu9 I listen to Dave Matthews, and I listen to Opeth... what you got now? :P

[HPerky96]

I like how the description says "Incredible song from opeth... no more words needed...." then has the lyrics XD Anyway, yes incredible as always.

[dream2010freak]

i love how he can growl like a demon and sing like an angle. when i herd him sing i thought it was two different people. i like it.

[Dounax]

@dream2010freak

Yeah, Mikeal Akerfeld can divide to zero :)

[pwnedforlife]

Opeth has yet to disapoint me like so many other bands

[SigmaDraconisIV]

71,666 likes lol

[GravesThaClown]

@SigmaDraconisIV Don't you mean views? :P

[scottmusic94]

Five users on youtube are cat persons.

[GregTehGoose]

9:43 Opeth and prairie dogs

[LeeRLang]

@GregTehGoose I'm never going to stop thinking about that every time I here that part 

[GregTehGoose]

@LeeRLang I know right? Those little metalhead gophers will live in my head forever lol

[IHateRapAndPop]

that growl at the end is so calm and chill with the music

[tristanpaquin]

Awesome

[novembre8211]

Outstanding song from nose to chin, from here to there, and back again

[AtomicExplosion95695]

I fap to this song.

[MrDanielJore]

BEST MADE TACOS OF THE EARTH :D

[ShinerCCC]

@MrDanielJore DIABOLICAL CHILLIES, AND ROLLING THE FLOUR

[Jrim615]

ghost reveries is by far my favorite album from opeth. it has the perfect combination of metal vocals and clean vocals. its beautiful.

[paolo80pr]

@Jrim615 yes true!!!

[fwfwfw]

Everytime I hear my neighbor's dog barking I remembrer this song. Thank you, puppy.

[NightXemnas]

First song that stuck out from me in this album. The album that turned me onto so much more music, even outside of metal.

[cpuser37]

I love the organ!

[Jesushobo]

"The tainted lips of a stranger

Resting upon hers"

Goddamn that line conjures up such vivid imagery!

[Liolar43]

@MyMytalMajesty That's brutal, man! :D

[yannayd]

Sometimes I wonder.

How is it possible?

how people dont listen to opeth?

6:22

words cant describe how amazing and powerfull this riff is.

[j4ck4Iz]

5:56 - 6:30

that shit is so sick.

RESTING UPON HERSSSSSSSS

[EviscerationK]

My uncle knows a guy who used to sell records for Opeth and other Scandinavian bands here in the UK, so hopefully I'll be getting some free albums soon, which is really good, as I could just collect a mass of Opeth Cds, press play and collapse into a coma.

[TheBigD123]

haha, Incredible song from opeth... no more words needed.... except the lyrics

[MrKanoh]

fantastic... rhythms and time changes are many emotions in my mind, opeth!!!

[ElectricTurkey1]

This song is nothing short of pure fucking perfection

[NilReccuring]

my dad (whos a progressive metal fan) said that he didnt like Opeth. i showed him this song and asked him, "How could you NOT love Opeth??" He is now an Opeth fan.

[mettalguy92]

i am literally obsessed with this song, and have been for a month, and will be for the rest of my life! Opeth really is the best fucking this that has happened to music, EVER!

[mattmolsberry]

@ltwbmarck - Most "women" from the metal scene are disgusting, and you probably are too.

[artismylife92]

@mattmolsberry How are women from the metal scene disgusting?

[antignome31]

@mattmolsberry

i am from the metal scene and i am a woman. be careful with your generic comments.

[EviscerationK]

@antignome31 You automatically win, congratulations .

[llieske]

@mattmolsberry no, those are just the women you know. The women I know in the metal scene are kinky, scalding hot bitches that'll fuck you up!

[LtwbMarck]

So a while ago i was at school and some fuck said Wiz Kalifa (some rapper,i didn't know it till i looked him up... pretty terrible) could get more pussy than these metal bands i listened too, i replied by saying, sure Wiz Kalifa can, he can also get more STDs' any day, us metalheads go for women, not pussy.. he was speechless.. so he threw out the most predictable argument.. "you're music is gay." and i said than why does metal have all these awesome women fans... no answer and he left \m/

[directorc1]

The part that begins around 5:24 is the most amazing thing i've ever heard in my life.

[TheSodaCanCreeper]

I like how Gingers do have souls is the promoted video for this.

[HeadbangMushroom]

@TheSodaCanCreeper Heavy Metal stole their souls.

[csSpetzNaz]

@TheSodaCanCreeper the promoted video for this is delivarence i do not see how that promotes gingers having souls

[TheSodaCanCreeper]

@csSpetzNaz Oh, it changed. that's cool I guess.

[csSpetzNaz]

@TheSodaCanCreeper oh ok lol cus here i thought u were a little crazy

[felima999]

This hammond is wonderful.

The first seconds reminds me Perfect Strangers intro. But dressed in death metal. Akerfeldt is a genius.

[ForgotteMemories101]

lol is it me or is this song remeniscent of H.P Lovecraft's novel The Hound?

[MrxCaptainxManny]

DREAM THEATER IS FUCKIN GAY

[givemeajackson]

@MrxCaptainxManny STFU!!! idiot!

[ClSimiz]

@MrxCaptainxManny do you necessarily have to be an ass? Akerfeldt is a big fan of them, he was invited to sing with them on Repentance and A Nightmare to Remember, and invited James Labrie to sing on In My Time Of Need (these live versions are to be found on Youtube). So, by insulting them, don't you think you are insulting Opeth's friends? Think about, and then you'll keep your mouth shut instead of showing the entire world you're an ass.

[MrxCaptainxManny]

@ClSimiz 

tl;dr

[rohanpogi]

@ClSimiz james labrie sucks

[raff2112]

@rohanpogi james labrie is a legend ur just a scrub maggot so who cares

[rohanpogi]

@raff2112 that's your opinion.

[Mephisto2913]

\m/

[Liolar43]

I've managed to start getting my 58 year old uncle into Opeth through this album.

Thumbs up for winning!

[ZIDBULA]

@Liolar43 really? a Charlie quote. please. GTFO what are you underage?

[Liolar43]

@ZIDBULA I didn't intentionally quote him! Perhaps you're underage for immediately thinking of him, eh? 

[Vlad31]

@Liolar43 awesome !!!

[Sypheros]

@Liolar43

I feel you, I got my 45 year old mom into Damnation, she absolutely loves it, it will take an act of god to get her in the heavy stuff, but it just goes to that the fan base can be so wide with the skill of the musicians at hand.

[FIndelCOB]

@Sypheros My mom also loves Damnation...

[thijsbults]

@FIndelCOB mine too hahaha

[ds390ss1]

@Liolar43 I am 47 yrs old and have been into music my whole life. I have always tried to be open to all music and new music. It took my 16yr old son a little while but i am a OPETH believer.

[celebrain]

@Liolar43

I caught my 52 years old mom humming 'Burden' while making dinner. She usualy listens to French Chanson kind of music. Win!

And if you don't know what French Chansons are, I don't recomend looking it up.

[willidub1]

@celebrain lol nice one

[Liolar43]

@celebrain Nice, man. Nice. XD

[bigtig9]

@Liolar43 I am just turning 50 this Aug and have tickets at the Beaumont Club in KC to see them for the second time Great Live show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Klause5425]

@Liolar43 Fuck The Free World!!

[vaxkors95]

@Liolar43 My 49 years old father likes prog rock, and thaks to him I started to like prog music, I discovered prog metal and prog death metal, and showed to him, and he is now into Opeth and Dream Theater, and other bands...

[Kangos7]

@Liolar43 you are doing god's work :)

[HyPreA]

I love the gradual fade in of "Everything you believe is a lie", an awesome part of an awesome song of an awesome album of an awesome band with an awesome Michael from an awesome country. Oh, did I say that I think Opeth is awesome?

[FeatherAndSkulls]

i just started listening to opeth. and im truly amazed by their music versatility. the guitar riffs...just wow!

[747Cobalt]

Why is "Gingers do have souls!" a recommended video at the end of this?

Ah - pest ridden jackals of the earth

[iutubi111]

@747Cobalt Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests...

[ddarko2012]

I love this song.

[GRANKOR]

@JuliOfTheUniverse

Part 1 surely
