  • This guys voice haunts m

  • Whats the best Opeth album to introduce someone to them?

  • the are awsome :3

  • Wow I never noticed that vocal harmony at the end...cool stuff!

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARTIN MENDEZ!!!

  • This is a pretty decent recording.

  • It's such a treat to see Lopez performing this song considering he left soon after in '06... he didn't really spend too much time on the Ghost Reveries tour.

  • Damn i want to see Opeth again! they are so good live!

  • Australia ? Vienna is in Austria :D

  • Opeth are currently touring Australia and the Vienna crowd shown in this vid are very calm and subdued by comparison...

  • what do you mean by that?

  • wow.... everything from the album cover, to the name design, to the music... they are HEAVILY influenced by Opeth haha... Fading Fall wasn't too bad... wouldn't say they're shit

  • Far from shit, i actually listen to them often despite the resemblance.

  • my favorite :) i'am seeing them for the 4th time on the progressive nation tour. love akerfeldt :)

  • What does he say right after "winding ever higher....."??? I can't find it anywhere in the lyrics.

  • He's just saying HIGHHHHHHHHER, ER ER ER ER.

  • Opeth is and always going to be the best Live band ever.. Opeth ROCKS!

  • did a winter drumline show to this song!

  • please visit my chanel and find my new song miss me if you can as its the first song ive ever written on guitar and i could use some constructive critasim,CHEERS

  • Unique performance. I hope to see them soon in Brazil again !

  • wow i love the O!!!! cant wait for their reggaeton album to drop!!!!!!!111

  • My video is much better on this song, watch it!

  • they doesn´ t sound better than the album! no way they does!!! But it´ s a really great sound for a life performance! from 05:34 love that part!!

  • I wonder what's Åkerfeldt's sound scale. Those notes at 3:20 are pretty damn high.

  • Im pretty sure he is a baritone

  • yep, I would say that too..

  • how about tenor, you extend your range further down with growls, listen to his normal voice for comparison

  • WTF?!! I haven't written that!!!! I've never even seen this video!

  • Great crowd, for once.

  • one of a few bands that really even sound better than the album, they fiexed the songs during touring

     and sound better than the album

  • GREAT

  • CreepingDeath is spot on in his assessment>

  • not just a good screaming band but actual singing

  • mikael is a fuckin god in growling, singing and playing guitar. And Opeth are the BEST band of our time. no discussion

  • Agreed. And Opeth's great at making mellow songs too.

  • I agree that Opeth is good band. . .but personally I am not into "growling" songs but I still think his regular singing voice is good.

    I always thought that most growling bands do so because they can't sing worth S**t but in case of Opeth I cannot say that because they can sing and they can play good music.

  • Growling is properly is harder than singing properly, mate.

  • I doubt you know how to do either properly because people devote their entire lives to singing, and it takes years to do it "properly" and its immensely difficult to growl properly, which also takes years but is not "harder" Growling is an accent to singing, unfortunately only a few bands, like Opeth, realize its not a substitute.

  • I can growl, yes.

    But it seems we have different opinions.

  • lol singing is a lot harder to master mate. Not all styles i'll grant you that...but focused technical singing is

  • No offence i love growling and im a metal head but i garuntee u singing is harder to master...look at opera singers mate...singing regularly would be easier.

  • Um growlings about atmosphere...but ur statement is a fair one to make cause alot of people who growl really good cant sing...but even if they could they wouldnt.

  • @CreepingDeath1988: You forgot songwriting! Dude! That's what matters most! No songwriting = no Opeth! :D

  • :@

    you dont shout random bollox at an opeth gig

    its jus against all laws known to man

    especialy on the quieter sections of songs

  • Y is it tht everytime I listen to a live performance I always hear some kid tht hasn't hit puberty yet is trying to sing along tht just pisses me off

  • Yea i love this song!!!!!

  • You can't compare yourself to this....

  • That's the first song they played when I saw them on this tour too. But there is absolutely no way you would have been able to film them from this angle in Quebec City; this spot in front of the stage was a total mosh pit!

  • Chile 4th April

  • desde mexico

    muy buena banda aca casi no se conoce pero

    es una de mis favoritas muy buenas

    adios se cuidas

    saludos

  • OPETH=TALENT,ther're #1 on my list.

  • that's a gutural voice, asshole

  • Where does mikael get his distortion?

  • what dist pedal? he doesnt use laneys distortion?

  • He uses the amp distortion

  • yeah, I heard he uses laney in studio but live he uses only laneys clean sound and tone. but all other effects including distortion comes from boss Gt8.. and 6.

  • I love this song :)

  • Opeth 4 lyfe

  • Bloodbath sounds like Opeth...not viceversa

  • The lead singer is the same.

  • Hey Jonas <3 Ole Henriksen her <3 :D

    Jeg kan godt lide din kæmpe mæssige løg<3 det er jo godt at du ikke har en pik for så ville du få en udløsning

  • you miss me Peter Lindgren

  • dude,the one who was recording should be headbanging to this GREAT song rather than holding a camera

  • hey bammy you seem to fancy yourself as some sound engineer extraordinaire, please tell me why you would trash a band like opeth just because its a shit recording??? justify

  • wow your gay good song

  • Seriously you can't have a life, I've seen 3 Opeth videos so far and you've been flaming on all of them. Get a life you pathetic bastard, no one cares about your  opinion anyway so why bother? All you're doing is pissing people off... Or maybe that's what you want? Attention? Then you're succeeding, but in the end you're just an attention whore and you know it.

  • No one cares about his opinion... but you all reply to him. Haven't you people ever heard of trolls?

  • this is obviously someone who hasn't heard the album version. he probably listens to linkin park.

  • if you had any idea about mic placement and tuning, you would know that that has no effect on the shitty microphone this video camera has.

    thanks.

    epic song, epic live too

  • are you gonna take fletchers4' shit man?

  • Hahaha you think mic balance will effect this recording? Go to school.

  • as a matter of fact, i am in school for this exact fucking thing: audio production.

    oh and ps. if you could read, which apparently you cant, you would see that i never mentioned anything about mic balances? simple little shit talker, i think its you who needs the school.

    and again, opeth forever!

  • I was replying to Bammy125's comment of "every microphone is out of balance... ". Get your facts right & learn to establish who a comment is aimed at. Simple little shit talker...

  • I saw them in kc ks they kick ass ....

  • same vocalist

  • omg they never come close to my city but im to young to go to their concerts anyway

  • opeth is one of the most talented metal bands i've heard, they are very are very technical, have amazing melodies, and sounds like the album when they play live.

    they are sick

  • word

  • i cant belive they r playing this song on such a small stage,ive got this cd and its a classic,i love tool,maiden apc dc doors ,this is as good as any of that ,and its played like this .i bought the cd ,sorry but this is no justic to a classic,i mean i love floyed,dark side ,no .this is stadium stuff.

  • this song is on saints row 2. good thing i pre ordered it.

  • november 26 in belgium!!

  • I can't see them 'cause my parents don't let me go to the live. ç___ç

    But I love them.

  • I'll definitely see them on November 27 in Paris. Awesome band from the very start to Watershed. I just got my hands on Deliverance today, which is one of the rare Opeth albums I hadn't fully listened to so far, it's awesome as always.

  • Mike = God

  • Even for an amateur camera, and with some fucked up sound, their music sounds perfect. Love the crowd singing x)

  • Under the Weeping Moon - gg opeth tune ;-)

  • Great song... fuckin' great!!

  • opeth is progressive metal there is no argument about that

  • btw, great band.

  • what does ftw means?

  • for the win

  • or Fuck The World :D

  • From The Wilderness

  • ill be there this oct. \m/

  • My favorite Opeth song. This song maybe isn't better than other Opeth songs, but it's the most cohesive and the one that flows better, even if it's ten minutes long!

    However, if Opeth is emo, then what to say about Pain Of Salvation? Let's simply call Opeth prog death or extreme prog metal.

    Another thing, why people say that Opeth are sellouts now? They haven't become a nu-metal band and their new albums are as good as their old ones: this song is the fucking evidence of this! Opeth for life!

  • and i listen to a wide range of metal, so i dont think im a fanboy. I just think that Opeth is awesome, and so is metal.

  • haha with all that debate on whether Opeth is emo...

    lol...

    first of all, define emo.

    secondly, define bands which you think are emo.

    third, define emo again.

    then we can argue.

    Opeth ftw.

  • most bands can be "emotional" because poetry is supposed to be about a person's feelings...that emo shit is so annoying

  • i missed them in 2005, but this year i'll be there!

  • If you have enough time to flame each other for so many pages then neither of you has a life.

  • Jesus CHRIST, about 5 pages or more of arguing some stupid shit. Can't you exchange e-mails or something?

  • Finally some sense

  • I don't care what anyone says. Opeth is the best band around. I've never been able to find a band of better all-around musicians. I know they've been and always will be a huge inspiration to me, and im sure many others.

    Anyone that wants to say Opeth sucks, prepare to be curb stomped.

  • well said my friend :). specially the last part. haha

  • lol gorgobutt and voimakaskarhu is gay

  • I concur.

  • Opeth. owns. end of story.

  • amazing vocals. the audience singing along was hilarious. hahaha

  • To tell you the truth I'm the one that fails :( You just trolled like there's no tomorrow and I was stupid enough to think you were being serious. I'm ashamed of feeding the troll. After all obvious troll is obvious.

  • Hahahaha yes, thats exactly what happened. You were stupid and very sensitive about this band called Opeth. My comments were actually posted because me and my friends had this drunken bet, who will take the bait first and make an _ass_ out of himself, and congratulations you, Voimakaskarhu (Pretty imaginative fag and egoistic name eh?) were the one. So this is now over, and congratulations for being so easy one (as you admitted on your previous post:D).

  • Nice "comeback" there. An actual troll would obviously want to ridicule his "opponent" before getting completely embarrassed himself. How do you even have the guts to call me the easy one? Is there anything more obvious than what you just did? 1. Get completely owned in a flame-war, 2. Get more and more angry, 3. Then use the "troll card" _after_ your opponent comes up with it. Then calling me stupid and sensitive and after that the easy one. You're one of the most hilarious failures I've met.:)

  • Hahahaha still going. Take it easy, i see that you have an unhealthy relationship with this virtual reality. You are analyzing there, what is the main essence of an internet troll. I mean the funny thing is, i have been just joking and manipulating with you all the time, me being relaxed and you obviously flamed with this anger and need to prove how right you are in this or that. Light up, faggot, you are hilarious :D. Do you wanna still overanalyze my intentions or such :D Haha one word: LAMB.

  • Hehe.Funny how eagerly you now keep on going about that troll thing. After I gave you the idea that is. Youre still exactly as obvious as before and I knew it. I should have written in my comment "/sarcasm" or something so you would have understood not to try to save yourself with it. Seriously. I didn't analyze and I still don't. You're just so ridicilously obvious. Even if you keep on yelling about how you really(!!11) are relaxed and just joking, it won't change it. Nobody will believe.

  • "Nobody will believe." So this is a showcase for you :D. Now im convinced how no-life and patchetic you are. Good hobbies you have, mate :D:D:D.

  • Ai juntti jaksaa vielä :D. Sulla näyttää olevan elämässä paljon sisältöä kun tällainen harmiton internet-läppä saa sinut raivon vallassa kirjoittamaan sivu tolkulla erilaisia selityksiä ja analyyseja :D:D:D. Toki, myönnän sen, että manipuloin sinua koko ajan, syötin bensaa liekkeihin toisinsanoen :D Ja sinä menit lampaanomaisesti halpaan, kuin tyhmä pieni elukka :D. Olet hauska...

  • Että oikein suomeksikin pistetään, ettei varmasti jää huomaamatta! No kerronpa sulle salaisuuden. Äsken huusit, kuinka tiedät paremmin. Vaikka huusit ja toistit kuinka monta kertaa, niin et vieläkään oikeesti tienny. Sama nyt. Vaikka huudat tai toistat kuinka monta kertaa, että ("IHAN OIKEESTI HEI!!!") oot ihan rauhallinen ja vitsailet vaan, niin sekään ei muutu. Oot yhä typerys, jonka käytös on uskomattoman läpinäkyvää. Ironista on, että sanot mua hölmöks "lampaaks", joka meni halpaa. :D

  • Im getting REEEALLYYY Bored with you, so you can keep your important arguing here, after all, no matter what you say, you are digging a grave there mate, trying to prove this and that and with that overly serious tone, when im just playing with you :D:D:D... But if you wanna keep been played, please do. Im all ears... ;)

  • "you seem like a fucking 13-year old religious Opeth-fan, who can't stand when someone says a bad word about his very special own favorite band, so he has to come on youtube and defend his precious little Opeth" says a dude who hangs here on Youtube watching vids about bands he doesnt so he can write bad comments about them and yell how he's a tr00-metalhead puritan and how metalheads with different taste just don't know anything (without bothering to give any arguments, though). "ok" again :D

  • Hahaha. Why couldn't I just stay out even though I said I would? Well you just did 2 so hilarious statements that I can't help falling off my chair. You completely ridiculed yourself there _exactly_ like I said before. Since emo is your favourite word, at least check what it means, please. It's not the same as emotional. :D Also saying you know what you're talking about and also saying Opeth is pop isn't very convincing, either. And I'm the one that makes an ass out of himself. "ok" :D

  • shut the fuck up you dirty cunt you can go suck your mom's chode cause opeth ain't emo

  • How aren't they emo?

  • How are they? :D Maybe you should even do a bit of research and check what emo is before calling everything emo. I'm sorry but even if a metal band happens to do a few so good albums that they get them some mainstream attention, it won't change them to emo. Sorry, but metal is mainstream these days. A dog doesn't turn into a cat if enough people see it, either. It's just common sense to tell you the truth.

  • I have actually seen Opeth live twice (which im sure you havent) and happen to own couple of their records, so i know what band im talking about. Well, about the emo thing, you are just making an ass of yourself :D Let's quote what you said earlier "Yeah well.. aren't all humans like.. emotional beings? Sure I have emotions. " So how does differ calling Opeth emo, because with your standards, it would just simply mean that they play emotional music, you fucking retard little Opeth kiddie... :D

  • To tell you the truth, you seem like a fucking 13-year old religious Opeth-fan, who can't stand when someone says a bad word about his very special own favorite band, so he has to come on youtube and defend his precious little Opeth.

  • gorgolbutt GFY

    Great video

  • I wonder how long the typical Opeth concert is...

  • I hope your parents rape you

  • Fucking ignorants... damn stop arguing, Progressive-Death metal... period. Opeth has never done any bad album by the way.

  • because gorgolbutt are gay,she listen rap the negga

  • looool,Gorgolbutt you posting this comment on every Opeth video? :p

    Clearly a hater there haha

  • No, i've actually seen the band twice live, and liked what is saw. Even happen to own couple of their records. This is just an honest objective opinion, and i would say hell of a lot relevant then lets say, someone who thinks this is really the best band in the world and owns every Opeth thing that is there on sale. I am not an fanboy, so i can look at this band relisticly.

  • i am far from a fanboy, as i like many kinds of musical genres, but to say that they have awkward arrangements... you are not being fair, seriously. It's not just my opinion, see the critics about the band, or about this record (Ghost Reveries), they get good critics even from some very biased sites like Pitchfork. Although this does not mean much, it is a indicator that the band does a good job, and i at least like it. You may dislike the band, but they are NOT bad musicians or composers.

  • I see. Death growls, metal instruments (including perhaps the most important: distortion guitar) that are used very metal-like (fast bass and drums for example) and most of all.. sounding metal don't make Opeth heavymetal? Also combining stuff from various styles and many different types of parts in one song doesn't make it progressive either, I guess. Yeah, you make perfect sense there. Opeth is obviously pop!

  • Who cares what's the name of the style they resemble. They have the opeth style, and that is great music. Too me opeth is the greatest band in the world that i've heard, but i keep it too myself because it's too unique for most people. I hate people who go around and classify their idea of what bands sound like, most of them just spill nonsense. Like what you like and shut the fuck up!

  • Huh? I was responding to gorgolbutt, wasn't I? "The compositions are based on full chords and very pop-like easy listening melodies" he said. All I did was point out they're obviously metal and also progressive. I didn't go genre-police and name "progressive death metal's sub-genre #3's subsubgenre #17's subsubsubgenre #22" or stuff like that, did I? I think it's ok to cathegorize Opeth in the metal-genre, don't you think? Or does that make me genre-police? Maybe you should stop being a twat?

  • Well, i think of Metal and it's foundations a lot more puritanically than, let say an average opeth-fanboy does. So your arguments don't mean shit to me. Period.

  • Heh. I never expected to hear "I'm a fucking puritanist retard" from somebody that thinks he or she is a metalhead. Your own arguments on the other hand kind of miserably fail, you know. They're pretty much like this: "omg opeth isnt metal, its pop" "well it fullfills the 'requirements' of metal so why is it pop?" "cause im a puritanist retard and youre an opeth fanboy so i know better!!11".

  • No, because it doesnt fullfil any requirements. Period. Quit crying over it faggot, you can go listen to your Trivium, Opeth and other bullshit, i couldn't care less...

  • You are an prime example of this emotional Opeth fanboy, getting exited, when this TRUE metalhead provokes him just a little bit :D... Yeah, i know your weaknesses, and you just showed yours, fucking worthless lamb :D.

  • Why not tell what the "true requirements" of metal are then? :D Also Opeth belongs to the same cathegory as Trivium? "ok" I'm emotional? Yeah well.. aren't all humans like.. emotional beings? Sure I have emotions. What does this have to do with anything? And you claim to be a true metalhead _and_ a puritanist. This is quite paradoxal since the true metalheads despise puritanists. And what makes me so "weak"? Care to tell me? Am I like.. not strong enough to live cause I listen to Opeth? :D

  • Listen. I'll give you a pro-tip. Try flaming with some arguments and stop failing and sucking cocks in general, too. Cause, well.. "OMG YOU FUCKING LAMB YOU LISTEN OPETH OMGLOL OPETH NOES METAL!11 ME KNOW MUCH, YOU IDIOT WTF?!" just isn't that convincing really. I wonder if you're the most hilarious epic failure I've met so far. Oh btw, let's hope you don't get too upset cause I pointed out the obvious facts. Don't go cutting your wrists with a spoon or anything.

  • There is no paradox between a Puritanist and a True Metalhead. Be kind, and go to the Wikipedia, and look the origins to the word, Puritan (and read it with thought you fucking idiot)... And whats with the "OMG11"quotations? Are you used to use that kind of faggotlike internet language or something? You seem like a person who spends his time 24/7 on internet :D... I think getting so provoked on some youtube comments, as you have, is a sign of weakness.

  • Do you understand what kind of idiot you make out of yourself? You're telling me I got provoked by your comments even though it's hardly the case. I first responded to your mumbling about Opeth being pop with sarcasm and stuff to which you countered with "your arguments don't mean a shit to me!" Now who got provoked? And weakness? Oh come on. Yeah it sounds cool in movies "you're a weakling!" but damn does it lose it's effect used in the net by someone like you who just embarrasses himself.

  • The omg-quotes. Well your comments are of that or lower level so why not? I can also rephrase it if you want: "You're an idiot cause I say so. Everything I say is true cause I go around yelling I'm a puritanist so I don't need to make any real arguments. In this comment I'll either say the exact opposite I said earlier or flame you about stuff that I do, not you. Also I'll just generally ridicule myself with my narrow-mindedness and being paradoxal." Do you prefer that then?

  • I'll give you a pro tip #2: Saying you're a puritan doesn't make you look like you know more than others about metal. Neither does it make you look more clever. Neither is "I'm a puritan" a viable argument for anything. That kind of behaviour only displays your sick intolerance about peoples' differences and your need feel better than those that are different (like Opeth in this case). You try to assure yourself you're better by trying to tell the others they somehow don't "understand".

  • Oh btw. When you see that you've pretty much already ridiculed yourself completely, starting to yell "you fucking 24/7 nerd!!" won't save you. You already made yourself look like an idiot, sorry. Me being a nerd is completely irrelevant I'm afraid. In fact you're the insecure, weak fuck, cause you feel the need to continuosly try to grow your ego. Do yourself a favor and shut up to prevent yourself from looking even dumber than is necessary.

  • Well, i just wanna thank you, for proving my point on how fanatically and almost religiously Opeth fans see their favorite band. Haha this was too easy, now go fuck yourself as i go listen to TRUE METAL as in: Desaster, Sadistic Intent, Aria, Korrozia Metalla, Master's Hammer etc... Have fun listening to Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed and Opeth with your shorthaired emo-friends.

  • Haha. I'm getting awfully bored of you. No matter how many times you keep on shouting that pointless shit without any kind of real arguments, it still won't change anything. Opeth will still not turn to metalcore shit. You still won't look any more clever. You still will be lol'd at. Also I wouldn't say I proved your point. It was the other way round, you know. Just read what I said about you and then realize that's exactly what you do. And yes, it makes you look like a damn retard. Have fun.

  • I can understand that people don't like metal/growling... but this music man, holy shit, it's fuckin intense, beautiful, i sense a contained feeling wanting to be released. Seriously, everyone should listen to it, without any biased opinion.

  • opeth and katatonia are on the same wavelength in my opiniin they are both amazing bands

  • there is no band in the world better than opeth

  • katatonia :P

  • dream theater
