Eluveitie one of the worst bands I've probably ever heard. How can you even compare them to Opeth. They have freaking bag pipes in their songs. Mikael Akerfeldt is the best musical composer there has been and ever will be in my opinion.
This is another awesome instrumental by Opeth. They could make a whole album of instrumentals like this and Patterns in the Ivy and I would be all over it : )
And to all who see this, just label these previous comments spam. Opeth vids dont deserve comment wars. There, Sycamorehill, Closure..... (Another great Opeth song!) dont take this further, I certainly wont.
@SycamoreHill14 We dont listen to Opeth to read comments advertising shit copy-bands who play equally shitty as their shitty, shallow material suggests from name alone. Go advertise on Vevo.
@Instrumentofgaia Someone hasn't gotten laid lately."Shallow" is what you are displaying by concluding that the music is not good, based on the name of the song/band. If you don't want to listen to it, don't. By your statement I don't know if I should consider you a troll, or a douche. I'll just call you an ass-hole and call it a night.
@SycamoreHill14 My PROBLEM; you presumptive little punk, is not the bands themselves (taste is relative to one's own collected past experience, thus everyone thinks different... as it should be), but that you come on here and you play the card of "If you like (imput band name), then you should listen to (band), (song), (another band). It is advertising, nothing less. I've seen the same comment on many, MANY, other band's vids, regardless of genre. Eg; "If you like meshuggah, listen to STATIC X".
@SycamoreHill14 ...My ultimate point being, in this case; people listen to Opeth and and watch their concert videos for the sake of enjoying Opeth... just like people would watch Meshuggah concerts/material and Gojira, or Obituary or Cannable corpse- Whatever! People dont care about comment advertisements because bands of these kind can never be copied with regards to their musicianship's essence. Find a better use for your time perhaps you may? Just a constructive suggestion.
@Instrumentofgaia Swing and a miss. Again qualities you accuse me of are then displayed by yourself. Believe me, I do not listen to any of the bands you listed. My original comment was intended for any one who enjoyed the style of the song, and perhaps wanted to listen to something similar. Comments like that are how I discovered a lot of music. And stop proclaiming a sort of untouchable quality that you believe Opeth has. Because no one is trying to "copy" them. I enjoy music for the ...
@Instrumentofgaia music, and if someone provides me with new stuff, I actually listen to it. I'm not some pretentious little prick who holds one band up to a standard that cannot be "copied". Again, if you didn't want to listen to the song I mentioned, don't. But there are actually people out there that want to listen to more than just one band/genre. I may get some negative feed back here, but Eluveitie (I'm advertising, so be it) is better than and is not a copy of Opeth.
@SycamoreHill14 Yes, you are advertising, once again... let the bad feedback flow thats your decision, you speech. And by saying "(this band) is better than (band), though (you say yourself) not even of the same two genres", yes that is being presumptive. You cannot compare the two, for the genre reason... and for the simple reason. ^_____^ Fuck you, have a nice day, and listen to them then.
@SycamoreHill14 ...Leave advertising out of Opeth. It's just abnoxius and I'm just one of thousands else who think alike. It gets *tireing* to say the VERY LEAST.
@SycamoreHill14 Eluveitie? Better than Opeth? Are you fucking kidding me? Those faggots with their failgrowls and shitty music in general should GTFO. It's like comparing Opeth to Bieber. You're an idiot. Get out. I listen to tons of bands and genres btw, and I still am 100% certain Eluveitie is as metal as Linkin Faggots are.
@JukiBelak Ok, that's your opinion. But here is a short list of bands that are much better than this pretentious bunch: Dark Tranquillity, Ensiferum, Suidakra, Skyfire.....
@SycamoreHill14 I can't stand bands like that, that new Eurogothfag flavored death metal. (I'm 1st gen Swede...)Well Ensiferum gets a pass. But Mikael's a true songwriter and throws so much far out shit together from black metal earlier on to 70's prog bands....Sets Opeth above any band of similar genre to me, I don't give a shit if Opeth is selling out or whatever.They deserve the attention..
Deliverance -- such an underrated record. I remember hearing this album for the first time when it came out. Can't believe its been nearly ten years already...Opeth are timeless.
2 minutes and 17 seconds of pure perfection... I just can't describe what I feel while I listen to this song... the melody at 0:50 is just unbelievable, the whole song gives me so much peace and nice memories... Opeth is almost the only band that knows how to get straight to the heart with these kind of melodies...
@Aensgard accually my friend music and songs could come from anything and anywhere. and u r kinda correct this would technically be considered a composition, but music is music and to somebody with a passion and love for music such as myself i would consider this a song there may not be words but the song does still sing. i can feel what the song is saying i may not know what it is saying but i can still feel it.
There's so much to describe about this song, and all the emotions that it makes is go through. This is one song that reminds me of my o' summer days and how sometimes they were depressing. This song also makes me wanna go to some places I've been before that are so memorable. Nothing could ever compare the emotions this song make you feel... Nor do I.
And Thx Opeth, for all the good moments we all had with our (now) Absent Friends, especially with the ones that shared the felling of listening one of the most wonderfull bands on the world. You guys
One of few songs that brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful. Long live Opeth.
