  • Blackwater Park is good. But to me Ghost Reveries shows their range the most. Then again, I am a huge Porcupine Tree and all things *good* neo prog.

  • Can anyone recommend some good Opeth albums to me? This is the first ever Opeth song I ever heard. I love Mikael's other band Bloodbath but I have just never gotten into Opeth. Thanks.

  • @SatanIsMyCreator I'd say their best is Blackwater Park. If you like the heavy stuff it would be best for that or Deliverance.

  • Possibly one of the best songs ever composed. The transitions from one part into another are outstanding. The build-up of energy is out of this world.

  • Auto depanting your ass provided. ;)

  • 31 people preferred cock instead

  • this is the song that got me into opeth... thank you SO much spotify radio.

  • "This song has some lyrics that are absolute black metal nonsense" is he referring to next song or this one?

    And if he is referring to the next song, which song is it?

  • @tsifj after this, they performed "under the weeping moon." from "orchid." the first record. o, and its the next one, btw. lol

  • I started out with bread and it turned to toast.

  • Opeth should get its own genre, epic.

  • I dare anyone to put Opeth in any other genre than BADASS!!!!

  • @philemonpersing progressive metal?

  • If Opeth did outros, it would probably be the best outros in the world... Oh wait, they are!

  • awsome I have this song on my ipod and it is just awsome!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn it! These pants were new!

  • 26 people sent an order from their brain through the nerve system into the muscle cells, making the muscles move and make the finger click the mouse, clicking the dislike button, adding their dislike into the bar.

  • Death to mtv and the music industry (Beibers)

  • :Q____________

    

  • Ghost of MotherFucking Perdiction fuckin rooooock!

  • 26 People will drown in perdition and eternal damnation.

  • disliking opeth deserves a nice kick in the nuts! but well, there´s always retards around the world!

  • What? Youtube must be crazy! This video has TWENTY FIVE DISLIKES! i wish the one's who clicked the dislike button were dead right this instant.

  • How many other bands sound this good live? None that I know of.

  • 06:08 yeaah

  • Sonisphere!

  • Fuck Opeth being metal....

    OPETH ARE A WHOLE NEW GENRE!

  • @SLIPKNOT2MAGGOT they saythere a mix of harmony and death metal idk what to call that lol bad ass band though.

  • @castheman1050 Progressive Death Metal is probably the closest you're gonna get to watch genre they are xD

  • i think 25 people accidently clicked the dislike button

  • the'll come to portugal! =D

  • wtf!

  • this song fucking rules all of the fuckin TITS SON

  • fucking adverts

  • @DzagielAreq Is it really terrible or is it just not your taste in music? If you can't dig Akerfeldts' growls you'll never like them in the context of any song. To the rest of us they are totally fitting and add contrast to the cleaner more mellow parts. Blind comments like that will give you retarded and hostile responses back every time.

  • sill luv this :)

  • Like this song? Then Check out DevilDriver's new song Dead to Rights with Quality sound just go to

    soundcloud(.com)/devildriveret­eam/devildriver-dead-to-rights

    (getting rid of the parentheses of course!) THIS IS THE REAL DEAL and Give us Feedback! (you can send me a message :)

  • @DzagielAreq Well, a lot of people will get disappointed when they find out how brutal this band can be. I was at first. But a few months later, I gave this record another spin and it blew my mind. You have to be open minded.

  • Dear god, I got chills while listening to this song. The studio version is amazing, but hearing the crowd singing along is what got to me. I also love how they sound basically the same live as they do in the studio versions.

  • @DzagielAreq

    Then you don't like much stuff from opeth do you? You just like the songs from the damnation album, do you?

  • @DzagielAreq suck your daddys cock and listen to linken park troll. Nobody cares what you have to say.

  • longest song ever recorded?

  • @piescapepking Nah, Dream Theater has a 24 minute song.

  • @TheAustimusPrime x-japan has the longest song! 29 minute song :D its jst awsome XD

  • @Chojikenji Dream Theater has a 42 min song

  • @TheAustimusPrime Neal Morse has an album with 4 songs, one is 29 minutes, one is 26, one is 16 and one is 6. Progressive masterpiece :)

  • @TheAustimusPrime They even have a song which lasts 42 minutes ;) Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance.

  • is he saying anything @ 3:05 -3:10 or is he just singing notes?

  • Opeth=Godliness. And here's something you guys can shutup about because I agree with DrMopinker and Lokeynot. What does it matter what band you chose?

  • ONE RULE OF YOUTUBE.

    NEVER MENTION ANOTHER BAND IN COMPARISON TO THE ONE YOU ARE WATCHING.

    fucks sake.

  • @lokeynot There's no rule.

  • @lokeynot Help Help! I'm being repressed!!!

  • Ugh... why are we still comparing Slipknot to other bands? Hey metalheads, wanna cease and desist this hate Slipknot forever bullshit? There are so many metal groups similar to them, but no one picks them out because it's so damn trendy to hate on Slipknot. I'm not encouraging hating on the other bands, I'm saying you're not 'troo metulz' because your standard of music is just that damn high. I love you, Mikael, your music makes me smile.

  • WOW!!! His growls just WOW and his singing is just the greatest bliss.

  • A warning no one reaaaad.

  • Awesome, there are 666 likes lol :D

  • manga de pajeros !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • just out of curiosity, what precisely seperates bad drummers from good drummers from great drummers from legends? i can never quite tell the difference between the last two mainly, and i know what a bad drummer sounds like, but i also have problems between a good one from a great one. maybe give some examples would be nice =D (also, is Lopez great or legendary. i really like his style and the stuff he does is incredible, but why/why isn't he legendary?)

  • @Joeygame1018 Bad drummers is easy, they either can't keep a beat, or can't do anything but keep a beat... Good drummers add to the music, Great drummers stand out in a good way. Legends are typically in the great drummer category but a lot of what determines a legend is luck. Heard of Dafnis Prieto? Doubt it... Amazing drummer, but with not nearly enough exposure to be called a Legend.

  • @stiltonchees which band is Dafnis Prieto from?

  • @Joeygame1018 He is a cuban jazz drummer, so no band really. Trying to choose one that no one on an opeth video would likely know to make a point. I just thought of him because I saw him a couple days before posting that, the guy is an amazing drummer though. Sorry to drag a jazz drummer into a metal video. Just trying to say that legendary is more often than not, the best drummer in the publics eye and not neccesariy the best drummer ever.

  • @stiltonchees actually, jazz is my favorite genre next to metal, so im ok with it =D

    i'll check him out, thank you very much =)

  • The INTENSITY when the song starts just gave me chills. god damn.

  • @brandito273RD GREATEST DRUMMER!? HELLNO! I can think of at least 10 better drummers off the top of my head better than Jordson. Danny Cary(Tool), John Bonham, Josh Freese, Mike Portnoy, Carter Beauford, Dave Grohl, Mick Fleetwood, Chad(RHCP), Larry Herweg, and Lars Ulrick... Just because a drummer can move their feet fast doesnt make em a "shit hot" drummer. He couldnt do (never mind think of) half the shit these men come up with.. Listen to even the top five on that list and tell me otherwise

  • <3 I love them!! Drummer is always perfect as in studio as in live!! I love them!!!!! BLoooody HEEEEEL!!!!!

  • This song is so good it made me orgasm,.

  • Opeth is more than music, even more than Art

    i can't explain what it is, but I'm sure its probably one of the most beautiful things I've experienced in my lIfe

  • One of the best riffs ever

    7:15 to 7:55

  • So what is the next song? The way Mikael described it it made it sound fucking awesome.

  • @aligatorsandwitch72 under the weeping moon is the next track.

  • I'd probably enjoy this more if I could tell what he was singing during the guttural parts :S

    Ehh it's still kinda cool.

  • <3 the guy's contrasting vocals

  • FUCK YEAH MIKAEL YOU MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING AWESOME FUCK

  • @physic4lgraffiti You know how to express yourself, and i totally agree! :)

  • LOL u call yourself a fan of a band that u dont even know what they play.

    Honestly opeth is too great for that band to be even mentioned here

  • This song pumps me up like no other!

  • inchinarsi di fronte al profesor Akarfeldt!!! GROOOOOWL!!!

  • slipknot is a "gateway band" they 're the kind of band that gets ppl into the sound. when they are into the sound they explore bands like it and find way better bands and soon realize that slipknot was crap compared to what they are listening to now such as opeth :D

  • at the end when he talks about the song with black metal lyrics, what song is he talking about?

  • @fergdrumgus I think it's "Under the weeping moon"

  • I am not a very big Fan of Opeth...But "Damnation" gives me chills every time I hear it...

  • I cum whenever I hear GHOST OF!! MOTHURRRR!!

  • i want them to come to canada soon so i can see them cuz they are fucking awsome

  • @cromptonater same

  • Man, fucking brilliant. I love how the Audience sings along with them the whole way through.

    I'd give my left arm for a chance to go see them live.

  • @n0vablast It'd be a pretty good deal too. I've seen them three times, and it's been fucking amazing every time.

  • opeth is just best!!!i love them... they have sooo good songs..

  • best metal band ever made, proud to be swedish \m/

  • slipknot and opeth are completely different, so you cant even compare them. theyre both innovators of their genres and in my opinion extremely talented

  • @blindskatr156 slipknot just made and still makes gay fagoot music

  • @blindskatr156 well you can't really compare the, that's true, but slipknot innovator of their genre? In what way? All they managed is taking it to the masses by commercialising their sound...

  • so bad.

  • Slipknot couldn't even touch Opeth's musical genius, even if they sold their souls to satan. The fact that you don't even recognize this makes you very inferior to the inclination of music. You have no sense of what true composition is. Slipknot is garbage. Deal with it

  • @terkel16 stfu

  • @terkel16 Oh my...

  • Slipknot is not an AMAZING band by any means. It's just noise,scream,noise, and then more scream to top it off. The only reason they were ever popular was because of their ridiculous costumes and their knack for knowing how to put on a somewhat exciting show. Corey taylor certainly knew how to pump up a crowd, but he was a horrible frontman and songwriter to say the least. Slipknot is nothing but a has been band that is doing next to nothing right now.

  • @nomadicvampire i dont like slipknot neither, but i must say that corey is excellent as a frontman and as a singer AND as songwriter. and they DO have some good songs.

  • @vallour421 wow... and you don't like them huh.

  • @RocKk3r lol... slipknot was my first metal band. they introduce me to metal. but now i dont listen to them anymore- i listen to much heavier music like thrash death progressive. but i msut say that they do have good songs, and that Cory is a good singer. i just dont like their riffs anymore, the fact that they dont have solos, their style, etc.

  • @vallour421 realy? they introduced you to metal? it took me forever to get into slipknot but not long for opeth.

  • @RetroRifleGuitarist2 funny thing.... my first metal bands were slipknot AND mastodon... then i started to listen to opeth, and later to metallica....

  • @vallour421 thats the exact oposite of me

  • @RetroRifleGuitarist2 man you are wierd.... so you started with opeth and now you listen to slipknot?lol.....

  • @vallour421 nope, started with metallica then slipknot then opeth and mastodon

  • @nomadicvampire Finally, someone says something meaningful! Thumbs up dude!

  • @nomadicvampire yes but the fact that you feel you have to actually state this now makes it clear that slipknot has done their job.

  • slipknot isnt a bad band compared to my dogs band XD

    XD

  • @die9go4 rofl

  • Slipknot What ? Top 5 #1Porcupine Tree #2Can #3Opeth #4King Crimson #5Pink Floyd and cant forget orphaned land the kick ass slipknot wouldn't make my list at all

  • Comment removed

  • slipknot and opeth are both amazing bands there two diffrent types of metal so they are going to spound diffrent but there still both 2 great bands

  • slipknot is nothing compared to Opeth. How could anyone even compare? The first two minutes of any Opeth song, period, is filled with way more intricate compostion than any of Slipknots' songs combined. If Slipup was a single note of music then Opeth is the sheet in which it is written. Anyone who even knows anything about music should know better than to put that sorry-excuse-of-a-pop-metal-ba­nd up there with the musical brilliance of Opeth. Give me a break.

  • @nomadicvampire First, they aren't "pop-metal". And I agree with Metallica1017, they are a gateway band.

  • @nomadicvampire

    >the musical brilliance of Opeth

    lol

  • you are correct

  • @nomadicvampire Joey Jordison from slipknot is very similar to Opeth's drummer. Yes Opeth is by far the more talented band. But they're drummers sound quite similar. Opeth is the better band but Slipknot has the 3rd greatest drummer on the face of the earth

  • @brandito27 I'm sorry to inform you but Joey Jordinson is a shit drummer. I can easily think of multiple drummers that are much better than him. A few that come to mind are Alex Grind, Lyle Cooper, and Lord Marco.

  • @uhmfucku nicholas barker,gene hoglan,hellhammer,Mike Portnoy to name a few more :)

  • @wizarddragon No doubt.

  • @uhmfucku and how i forgot neil peart is beyond me lol

  • @wizarddragon Lol. 

  • Comment removed

  • @brandito27 :S:S:S @#^$*@(%^@#*#$(* WTF?? do you have any idea about drums man? how did you come up with such a fucked up comment? seriously! are you talking about martin lopez? or the drummer before? or after? if youre talking about lopez.. god damn. shit god damn. LOL 3rd greatest drummer on the face of the earth. hes really good man. but not that good.

  • @brandito27 ROFL. Anyone who writes 'their' as 'they're' has lost my respect... and I see you think the drummer of Slipknot is very good? :P I agree with JSHIPM4249, I rather listen to Mike Portnoy or John Macaluso or Dennis Chambers, or Dylan Elise... tons of great drummers but slipknot, please :)

  • @Thystonius I don't "think" he's good, all I was doing is restating what Kerrang! magazine said I don't think Slipknot is good, in fact I cannot stand Slipknot, one of my older favorite bands used to be rivals with Slipknot. Plus I don't care about my grammar which is good for the most part so please you and everyone else who like Opeth do me a favor and fuck off. Have a nice day :)

  • @nomadicvampire you stupid ass piece of crap. music isnt about how well you can play your fucking instrument or how many weird ass chords you can stuff into a song. ppl who judge musicians by that kind of stuff make me sick. music is about emotions. slipknot's music is good for when you wanna fuck shit up. opeth's music is good for other cases. go listen to fream theater or something

  • @nomadicvampire Well said, sir.

  • @nomadicvampire No one could have said it any better. :)

  • @gramosjr7 Good job quoting the Banana man there, mate. Dumbass.

  • para mi amiga de michoacan cool!!

  • masterpiece!

  • damn this is a long ass song lol but have patience

  • Why is there even a debate about which band is better? Opeth dominates the SHIT out of Slipknot. I'm not saying that Slipknot sucks or anything, but they aren't close to Opeth on a musical level. Opeth is one of the best bands of all time. Slipknot doesn't come close to reaching them.

  • @AboveDelusion i loooovvveee slipknot. a friend of mine is into playing music, he grew up on instruments and shit. he says opeth is freaking unreal. i listened to blackwa

  • @schlong19 blackwater park and it was unreal. opeth kicks ass. fun story, ehh?

  • You cannot listen to a band like Opeth until you REALLY start listening to good music and understanding it. We all go through our stages where we just HEAR the music but there is a difference between hearing and understanding what good music is.

    It gets developed over time.

  • I bet at any given Opeth concert there is always some guy with a monocle and a top hat. Cause this shit is gonna be not only classic but legendary one day.

  • I hear this and then I hear "A Still Day Beneath the Sun" and I say..Opeth is in a genre called "Random Metal"

  • all of opeth's song are SO AMAZING. There albums are albums of pure genius. I can sit down and listen to an album and every song is amazing.. nothing like today where bands or artists put out music and only like 2 songs from there album is good.. but every song on every album Opeth has made is brilliant..

  • note:better by far

  • Meh, i used to listen to slipknot, got old.

    Now that i have a wider... how should i put it? taste? in music, and heard more quality, ive realised they arnt so good. do have one or two songs that are good though. Opeth is still better

  • @Disnamesucksass Not to mention that their live performances dominate Slipknot's on a sound's perspective(being on both band's lives)

  • @KokkinosPowerRanger very true. i loved slipknot until i heard their live shit from download fest. sorry for randomly butting in but i felt it neccissary =)

  • Opeth is way to epic for a genre!! They are just amazing!

  • If I got a nickle for everytime I heard Opeth. ._.

  • BEST LIVE BAND 4 SURE!N then lamb of god

  • No, you're all incorrect. Opeth developed a new genre at their time called ''FUCKING AMAZING'' =p

  • Wunderschön...... <3

  • I like both, Slipknot and Opeth. You can suck my fucking dick. I don't give a shit about your opinions.

  • Opeth, best band ever... this band shit???? I'm sorry, but you have less music than Cosmopolitan....

  • why are people comparing a shit ass nu-metal band to Opeth?

    Opeth is like folk metal mixed with black metal (don't know the specific genre if there even is one)

  • Opeth is Progressive (Melodic) Death Metal.

  • yeah same here about the shit band thing.

    i mean i hate slipknot as much as anyone else that does.

    but hey.. they are signed and have a ton more money than you. =O

    so pretty much your saying you can make money with shit....

    imagine that lol

  • love it!

  • Definetly a band that took me a lot of time to start to like.

  • @dithindious yea same here

  • @dithindious but then when you start to learn how to listen to their songs and appreciate the music...its difficult to find a band that matches them in ANY regard

  • @dithindious looks like you finally got your ears fixed...

  • @dithindious same to me, first i was like: shit growling, i'd never like that, even in a million years > but i got interested after i fully heard the track and listened to it again. > and again > and again! > and then i liked it very much =)

  • @dithindious Yeah, me too. But after I started to like them, they became my favourite metal-band !

  • Hm, yeah, this is a bit too soft imo. Just checking it out. Hm, they're not bad though.
