If you guys like bands like Opeth, Novembre, Behemoth, Porcupine Tree and other Progressive/Black/Death Metal bands check out my band Eira, we just uploaded two songs from our EP that we are releasing tomorrow. Find on Facebook /eiramusic !
At least this band brought something new to its respective style, Poets of the Fall is a meaningless band with a mainstream sound that has been done over and over.
Opeth is one of the best bands I have ever heard. They bring a bit of something for everyone, Classical, Jazz, Folk, Rock Metal, Badassness. The first 5 albums were my favorites, although the newest album Heritage was rated as their best ever, but I havn't heard it yet.
Plus, Toki Wartooth was made in likeness to Mikael Åkerfeldt... and thats awesome.
no matter what people say Opeth is still making music and doing what they love to do,or shall i say what mikael loves to do hahah ! and i respect them for that !
This band lacks one scintilla of musical relevance. They're prog for people who don't understand prog. They're metal for people who think they're above metal. They're jazz for people who don't listen to jazz. This is utterly pretentious, unimaginative tripe. Listen to RUSH and obliterate your ignorance of music.
This is one of my favourite Opeth songs. It blew me away when I first heard it. It's one of the best examples of their use of light and shade, in the same song. The heavy parts are brutal, and the melodic parts beautiful
I'd just like to say that anyone who says Death Metal is ridiculous noise and dickheads screaming into a microphone has clearly only heard the Deathcore horsepiss their Emo friend listens to and has no idea about Opeth. Show them Opeth, show them It's not just noise, 'cause I am sick of this stereotype
Ok.. for all u idiots.. this is called progressive... sure.. they have different things here and there.. jazz. beats folk ect.. but so does cryptopsy.. they have a lot of jazz.. dont mean they are jazz... nevermind me...
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!
I think its hilarious that the ad that popped up for this song was for a christian dating site. Im guessing because theres a cross in the picture. If only they had any clue...
Way too much arguing over what the music is genre wise, not enough talking about the awesomeness of the music. Heck stop arguing over it and just listen to the goddamn music.
@element252 You don't care because you're 14 years old and don't realise what music is yet. It's okay, that'll change when you grow up. You'll stop listening to Blink-182 and Slipknot. That's when you become a human being.
@ArseTang 15 close enough, and why would I be on this video if I liked Blink-182? They are completely different types of music. I'm not one of those people who listens to music I hate just to leave shit comments, I like the music so I listen to it. Maybe you should move on with your life instead of arguing with a teenager via Youtube.
@CugnoTheSwiss Are you seriously arguing if a saxophonist can be an impact on a Progressive metal band? How about some jazz guitarists and bassists that Opeth are very obviously influenced by. Django Reinhardt and Jaco Pastorius spring to mind. I don't think you've listened to very much jazz if you think jazz has to be brass or woodwind.
@ShiftyStealthy Check out eMusic. Awesome sight for underground/unknown music. Excellent quality, cheaper than everywhere else, and they usually have some deals running (google free trial eMusic).
@yooooooooooooog lol in my language, french, we use the english word ''cheap'' to talk about bad quality, so I was confused by your comment a little bit XD
Now, my friends, I think we are all extremely privileged that we can listen to something as beautiful and epic as 7:13 to the end of the song. Praise Arkerfeldt, Praise Lindgren, Praise Mendez and Praise Lopez. They are some of the greatest musicians of our time.
im not really a metalfan (this IS metal right? dont want to cause a shitstorm) but I think its good music. Never got my head around the whole grunting thing, to me the song got really enjoyable only after the grunting stoped and the normal chorus started.
Yes, it's progressive metal. I also recommend Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Angelwitch, Saxon, Megadeth, Devin Townsend Project, Ghost, Mercyful Fate, Megadeth, (early) Metallica, Children Of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Venom, Korpiklaani, Electric Wizard, Bathory and Judas Priest; this list is by no means comprehensive but should give you a pretty good overview of the genre (Metal in general I mean not just Prog Metal).
@YorkshireMinor I've had a peroid of listening to metal and I kinda liked Iron maiden especially. but I thinkI gre out of it. I know about half of these bands from friends ect. , but ive listened children of bodom once and I was not really impressed.. I think its a kind of music you have to like nad get used to, and i have another taste and ive never really foten in to metal ( I tried I guess) I remember liking a song by Iced earth a lot, a thousand strong or something of that order.
There is very little jazz influence in opeth. Sorry. I have listened and played jazz for many years longer than I've listened to opeth. There are some chords here and there and a little influence in the drums with the occasional mode used in a solo, but out of 9 albums, very very little. Opeth is amazing but they really aren't jazzy. More blues, folk, metal, prog and classic rock.
.I have no idea what I'm on about man? Every Progressive Rock band ever has been inspired by classical and jazz. You've blatantly never heard progressive rock before man. Listen to King Crimson please, then realise how stupid seem on the Internet. I don't know what I'm on about? What a hilarious human being you are
Every single one of them? Inspired by classical and jazz? Every one of them right? You are blatantly making broad generalizations. At any rate, being inspired by jazz and being jazzy are too entirely different things. Opeth is not jazzy, which was my original point. Dont bother replying again I blocked you. Stupid fuck. Try and comprehend what you read.
@jimbobanalbeats There are a lot of artists influenced by The Beatles. They don't have to be a British Invasion artist. It's funny though, of course it's a more broad genre. You realise what progressive means don't you? I really don't know why I'm arguing about this with you. You obviously have no idea about music, which is a let down considering you've "listened to and played jazz for many years". Side note: Listen to Get Yoursef a Man by Comus, they're Opeth's biggest influence.

Side note: Listen to Get Yourself a Man by Comus, they're Opeth's biggest influence.
@ArseTang I know of Comus. They are not jazzy either, so I dont see how they are relevant to this topic. At any rate, this has veered far off from my original point which was that Opeth is really not jazzy. Which they werent, prior to the fusion elements in their new album. Were they influenced by jazz and jazz fusion groups in their previous albums? Im sure, but that wasnt the point. That comment was posted 2 months ago, prior to the release of heritage.
@jimbobanalbeats Get Yourself a Man isn't jazzy? You have heard the saxophone solo by Didier Malherbe right? Point is It's pretty fucking obvious that there is a very large jazz influence in their music. From My Arms, Your Hearse onwards. Same complex time signatures, similar timbre, common jazz chords and progressions. You're wrong man. If you can tell me the solo in Porcelain Heart isn't heavily (inf act is) influenced by jazz, you're oblivious to what jazz is.
@ArseTang If the blues infused solo of porcelein heart is your best example in their music prior to heritage of a jazzy sounding solo, then you are the one that is oblivious. Listen to some wes montgomery or charlie christian if you want to hear jazz guitar playing. Ive enjoyed the mutual flexing of the epeen we have been doing, but I feel like you care a lot more then I do. Of all the words that could be used to describe Opeth, Jazz is one of the weakest. Listen to some jazz sometime.
@jimbobanalbeats Now you're comparing Opeth to blues? You ever heard that breakcore section in Baying of the hounds? You're stupid man, really stupid. I find it funny that you're telling me to listen to possibly the two most contemporary jazz guitarists of all time. You're actually going to try and argue music with me when the only jazz guitarists you can muster are those two? ಠ_ಠ
Listen to some Django Reinhardt, Herb Ellis, Kenny Burrell and George Barnes spring to mind. Move on.
@ArseTang No, I said the solo was bluesy. Porcelein heart doesnt have a bit of jazziness. It is a terrible example if you are trying to prove a point. Neither does the comus song you referenced aside from perhaps a 7th chord or two. As impressed as I am by your name dropping, your examples to prove to me that opeth is jazzy are.. not jazzy. Sorry dude. I named 2 guitarists that I thought you might be unaware of as the only example you gave to prove opeths jazziness was a folky prog group.
@ArseTang At any rate. It has been a great deal of fun. I have no intention of replying to you any further as you are incredibly obnoxious and generally rude. Really it was fun. I hope many more people read my top comment and propel it to the top in agreement. Happy listening friend!
@jimbobanalbeats listen to heritage...and they are very fusion...opeth are influenced by not only prog bands like camel...but a subset of prog/fusion...i believe its called the canterbuty sound...most do not know this
@thiscitysamess I think there is a folk influence in Opeth's style. It's definitely there. Especially on the last two albums. I hear everything in their sound, from metal, to progressive, to classic rock, to classical music (The Apostle in Triumph, Madrigal), to folk (Folklore, the mellow segments in Heir Apparent), to jazz (Nepenthe) to Middle Eastern rhythms (Closure, Bleak) to funk (Lotus Eaters). That's what makes them such an amazing band. They just blend in elements of so many styles.
@jimbobanalbeats Yeah, I just realised that after I posted. But I do see where you're coming from. What many call Opeth's 'jazz' influence is closer to blues and folk more than anything.
opeth is such a remarkable band, they could be playing at a huge metal festival to thousands of metal heads one day and the next be playing in some underground jazz club to a completly opposite group of people and both mediums would be satisfied
@johnnymfapplecore Okay, I'll elaborate. Opeth would never be able to play in a jazz club to a jazz audience because their music has nothing to do with jazz, or what a jazz club audience would want to see.
@ryder187mac I see your point, but there are copious jazz elements in Opeth's music, i.e. Face Of Melinda. And while a jazz club may not like the metal side to their music, they'd appreciate the jazz elements, especially in their calmer songs.
@johnnymfapplecore Brush drums and double bass in a single song don't make for "copious" jazz elements. I knew you'd mention Face of Melinda, but still, Opeth would never play in a jazz club.
Why don't we just flag the comments that these unoriginal assholes post? "one m0:00re time and I hope my neighbors like this song". I'm kind of sick of seeing them.
@Myxotruck666 What am I supposed to do while I'm listening to the music though? Play with my dick? Obviously you read comments too while listening to music instead of "just listening". Hypocrite. Also, I actually enjoy reading comments, and I know other people don't like seeing this unoriginal shit, so I gave them an idea. So, my "bitching" is justifiable. BTW nice name, fag. 666? What are you, three?
I had a dream about a metal band called "Moor" and this made me youtube the name. The band dont exist as far as I'm aware, but I stumbled upon this as the top result. FREAKING AMAZING.
You ignorant people who don't speak spanish, put this in your fucking translator:
Estoy harto de humillarlos cada vez que respondo uno de sus estúpidos comentarios y eso aparte de que los tengo que contestar en una lengua que no es mi lengua nativa, eso es una hueva... así que borraré todos mis comentarios y terminaré con esta mierda... see ya!!!
You don't know what the hell you're talking about. There's more musicial genius in michael's (The lead singer and guitarist's) little finger than in most people in the world. Open your mind, listen to more Opeth! You won't regret it.
@LuisBlythe666 Sorry you don't like it, kid. But, clearly if you're listing to Voivod and Watchtower, this kind of musical quality and talent escapes your scope of understanding.
Furthermore, if you're going to talk about music you should know about music. Pick up a book about theory and you'll realize that there's no "random" in this. These guy's really know how to construct music. Talk to a musician who knows something.
This guy's vocal range is vast. Calling it sissy makes you look ignorant.
@LuisBlythe666 Uh oh... I guess you're right. I'll try to deal with your opinions. In the meantime, why don't you try to come to grips with the difference between expressing an opinion and the unwarranted bashing of musical genius you don't understand.
@LuisBlythe666 I know, right? Now, I love Metal, and try to listen to all forms of it. But I've never found this band to be as good as people say. Believe me I've tried, I have listened to a lot of their songs. I prefer Melodeath and Folk Metal to this. And I know what you meant by "sissy clean vocals"... 7:53. smh
@LuisBlythe666@LuisBlythe666 Opeth is very diverse for a metal band, just keep listening to their music, bound to be something you like. Or figure out you don't actually like metal, because thanks to you I listened to Voivod. Terrible and they're more punk than metal.
If you like Metal you should listen my bands demo songs from my channel! And if you like you can become our fan on facebook! Link is on our channel! Thanks and keep supporting Metal! \,,/

You're actually going to try and argue music with me when the only jazz guitarists you can muster are those two? ಠ_ಠ
Listen to some Django Reinhardt, Herb Ellis, Kenny Burrell and George Barnes spring to mind. Move on.

@ArseTang No, I said the solo was bluesy. Porcelein heart doesnt have a bit of jazziness. It is a terrible example if you are trying to prove a point. Neither does the comus song you referenced aside from perhaps a 7th chord or two. As impressed as I am by your name dropping, your examples to prove to me that opeth is jazzy are.. not jazzy. Sorry dude. I named 2 guitarists that I thought you might be unaware of as the only example you gave to prove opeths jazziness was a folky prog group.

jimbobanalbeats 4 months ago
@thiscitysamess I think there is a folk influence in Opeth's style. It's definitely there. Especially on the last two albums. I hear everything in their sound, from metal, to progressive, to classic rock, to classical music (The Apostle in Triumph, Madrigal), to folk (Folklore, the mellow segments in Heir Apparent), to jazz (Nepenthe) to Middle Eastern rhythms (Closure, Bleak) to funk (Lotus Eaters). That's what makes them such an amazing band. They just blend in elements of so many styles.

opeth is such a remarkable band, they could be playing at a huge metal festival to thousands of metal heads one day and the next be playing in some underground jazz club to a completly opposite group of people and both mediums would be satisfied

@johnnymfapplecore Okay, I'll elaborate. Opeth would never be able to play in a jazz club to a jazz audience because their music has nothing to do with jazz, or what a jazz club audience would want to see.
Alright?
ryder187mac 7 months ago
@ryder187mac Well obviously after the release of Heritage, they will have some jazzy stuff they'll be able to add to their setlist.
Niamorg1007 7 months ago
@Niamorg1007 Well, Heritage isn't out yet, and the music still has little to do with jazz. "Jazzy" doesn't cut it.
ryder187mac 7 months ago
@ryder187mac You got a point.
Niamorg1007 7 months ago
@ryder187mac I see your point, but there are copious jazz elements in Opeth's music, i.e. Face Of Melinda. And while a jazz club may not like the metal side to their music, they'd appreciate the jazz elements, especially in their calmer songs.
johnnymfapplecore 7 months ago
@johnnymfapplecore Brush drums and double bass in a single song don't make for "copious" jazz elements. I knew you'd mention Face of Melinda, but still, Opeth would never play in a jazz club.

If you love bands like Tool, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, A Perfect Circle, you should definetely check out our album, "Telos".
Look for Isurusband on youtube or google it to find our website.
Telos is available on ITunes, too.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. There's more musicial genius in michael's (The lead singer and guitarist's) little finger than in most people in the world. Open your mind, listen to more Opeth! You won't regret it.

@LuisBlythe666 Sorry you don't like it, kid. But, clearly if you're listing to Voivod and Watchtower, this kind of musical quality and talent escapes your scope of understanding.
Furthermore, if you're going to talk about music you should know about music. Pick up a book about theory and you'll realize that there's no "random" in this. These guy's really know how to construct music. Talk to a musician who knows something.
This guy's vocal range is vast. Calling it sissy makes you look ignorant.
