Opeth - Black Rose Immortal (Full Song & Lyrics)

[tandboerstenTHOMAS]

19:00

[fadetoblack88]

This song about a man, who in the name of desperation turns to the devil. He goes into a dark forest or garden with a pond in the middle and find a black rose, symbolizing the devil. It is a cold, dark place, and they speak only through thoughts. He becomes one of the devils many slaves and he rests in they fields of eternity, his soul in immortality.

[ignyte]

i don't need drugs to make me high.. This masterpiece is enough for me to wobble.

[ballsthatclank]

8:55-9:42...the first time I heard it, I was completely hooked on Opeth. Haven't heard any band come close to them since.

[FreedomHeavenDream]

Why this song is so long?

[ballsthatclank]

@FreedomHeavenDream Why are boobs good? Some things just are what they are, and man really has no explanation. Best to just enjoy it.

[FreedomHeavenDream]

@ballsthatclank Ok I get it,thank.

[tastas02]

@FreedomHeavenDream

In order to contain all awsomeness

[FreedomHeavenDream]

@tastas02 I think so.

[PaoloBaixista]

This song is probably about a man who loses his beloved and commits suicide, then finds himself in hell, because he can't go to heaven. There's a lot more about this song, maybe he communicates with Satan before or after going to hell, but he waits for the day when she'll "walk the shadows with him", or go to hell too, the only way to meet him. Kinda selfish, eh? That's love.

[chrismardyl]

Ive heard that pig females have 30minutes long orgasm. Im only 10 minutes away from a pig now.

[JrodMcKenzy]

@chrismardyl Thanks to this song I beat pigs by 10 minutes.

[ignyte]

now i can go to work without pressing my ipod.

[hinacookieable]

So much fucking emotions through all music..

[wubwubwubwwsbnfklmds]

I just listened to this song after a few years...and just remembered how much i still love it. One of my favorite metal songs, ever.

[warrenwally]

this is the real beginning for opeth !

[churras13]

i miss old opeth

[SlayerJes]

Click here again and again: 19:01 The longest Mikael's scream! ♥

[BruceLeDouche]

Oh my fucking god. All the time i've listened to metal i've only now heard this song. My brain has just had a 20 minute long orgasm.

[JrodMcKenzy]

Whats this song about?

[scepticism]

@JrodMcKenzy im consider about it too.

[metalpi3x]

The clean vocals that starts at 9:00 always gives me chills

[Darksquad666]

I remember seeing them in my town like 5 years ago, someone in the crowd yelled them to play this song, they started it and after 3 or 4 minutes, Mickael stopped playing and said fuck this I can't remember the rest of this song !

[mttnbstr2]

@texasproof My friend, you do not connect to Opeth as the rest of us do, the passion and emotions conveyed in this song is beyond words, and obviously beyond your thought process...

[patorr69]

@mttnbstr2 Why because he has a different opinion? No real reason to bash what he said, this is not my favourite song either, Nectar is better in my opinion. People are gonna have different opinions.

[EgyOpethian]

Opeth helps you stop smoking, and start using weed



[ibsayem1337]

At night I always dream of you.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh­h

[ibsayem1337]

9:45 Oh god when that transition appears it's beauty in musical form.

[Zyborggian]

MrMoustacheMM from wikipedia should suck dicks till he chokes to death... seriously trying to fuckin DENY that this is a fretless bass.... JUST LISTEN TO IT OH MY GOD

[tangalang15]

The ending section starting around 17:30 is one of my favorite Opeth moments ever.

[kirankaphle]

bohemian rapsody of metal. masterpiece

[PiffWhiff]

2:00 makes me think of pirates

[texasproof]

As much as I love opeth, and especially the Morningrise album.. I have to think this song is highly over rated and doesn't really build up to anything special compared to the other songs, in fact it just sounds like instead of making the album 6 songs long, they stuck 2 of them together and made one 20 minutes instead of 10 minutes...

Probably will get bashed for this comment..

[MCrants0]

@texasproof HOLY FUCKING SHITING TITTY FUCKIGN CUNT FUCK COCK WHY ARE U EVEN ALIVE?

[texasproof]

@MCrants0

Lol I knew some un-intelligent retard like you would make a comment like that one haha

[davidiancu]

@texasproof i agree with you :)) 20 minutes is too much for a song, i mean there are too many parts... in clasical music there are long songs, but there are so long because there have 3-4 distinct parts

[Zyborggian]

@davidiancu The Divine Wings of Tragedy is not too long.... but it basically does what you said... it has multiple parts lol

[TheUltimateY]

@texasproof They have in a sense joined 3 songs together. It is an intentional choice because they want to convey a certain message. Black Rose Immortal is in a sense a story, and to make it 2 or 3 songs instead of one doesn't tell the story in the same way. Because of this structure they couldn't build up as they did in previous shorter songs, but there's no denying that the ending is one of the heaviest sounds out there. And that is what this entire song builds up to.

[ginekolog032]

In Serbian language Opeth means Again!! So Opeth & Opeth & Opeth & Opeth & Opeth...

[stevocro]

@ginekolog032 opet :)

[SlayerJes]

@ginekolog032 Woow, really? xD I didn't know that

[Vdrum1010]

Top comments should stay as top comments; two marvelous bands; two marvelous line ups

[karodziejacatwoman]

SIEJE JĄDROWĄ ROZPIERDUCHĘ!

[BeeTatty]

Is this song about a man being lonely and turning to satan for help?

[zyrphath]

Man, it's been like 10 years since I first heard this song. Fucking amazing work. Opeth \m/

[00chaitanya00]

In the 66 million gods of Hinduism...I add four more: Opeths lineup....

[bloodgodkhorne93]

when i comented about the length of this song i was not makeing fun of it it is a f*****g epic song

[Albert238391]

Pure epicness

[ArChEnEmYscrubs]

These guys clearly take their music seriously! \m/

[dim0nich]

i've been following opeth since 1998, and to this day, i think morningrise is best album they've ever done and black rose immortal one of the best songs ever recorded. \m/

[Boristhaspydr]

@dim0nich you can pick a favorite??? its impossible for me lol, theyre all perfection. id say its a toss up between orchid and morningrise........but also blackwater park.....and ghost reveries......and watershed...

[666Brutalhead]

This band is unbelievable .. I never got addicted to a band that way !

I truly love their music like a maniac .. Every single riff , every single beat , EVERYTHING !

Well done Mikael , Peter , Mendez & Lopez .. You are now officially GODS :)

[DallasCowboysmx]

19:00 That scream...

[cutiegurlhack]

i like the symphonic part, nice song....

[SomethingWild9608]

@mexicutiner88 Your social skills are outstanding.

[CorruptionLord]

Some women listen to Mozart while pregnant, to try and improve their child's development.

Chuck Norris' mother listened to this.

[Mikavalia]

@CorruptionLord Chuck Norris is a bigoted homophobic Christian conservative.

[Boristhaspydr]

This songs too short........

[Ginzaz]

opeth = orgasm to the ears!!!!!

[gezim70]

Mr Akerfeldt if you don't play this song at Wacken i will cut the tyres of your car!

[baronaarby]

this song is too long

[MetallicaMadMan666]

Opeth's music = viagra for your ears

Thumbs up if you agree

[JessTrippy]

I love how this song makes me feel so numb.

[666MikeMetal]

I want my wife to enjoy this. Or else I shall never wed.

[pierog113]

5 people are simply idot's -,-

[BinaryPill]

Rather odd that I am a new Opeth fan and I am liking this album more than any of their others. Isn't this supposed to be one of the most inaccessible albums ever made?

[BeingBadAtMaths]

@MyMytalMajesty Actually, Mendez shines on Heritage. Not a whole lot, but more so than what he has done on previous albums, imho.

[JessTrippy]

@MyMytalMajesty Because it's amazing :3

[ROCKinROLLout]

Finally a full version! Does any one have any idea how hard it is to find a full 20 minute song on here?

[WhetstoneUK]

Fans of Opeth should check out Whetstone! Our music heavily influenced by the music on Orchid and Morningrise, and we even have a demo of us playing the epic "Black Rose Immortal". Check out our channel!

Whetstone

[The6Black6Metal6]

the starting vocals sound like black metal lol

[oshamajik]

what happened to Opeth?? Its simply sad...

[lunabuds84]

One of my favorite songs ever. I'm in love with Opeth. I feel amazing when I listen to them.

Amazing show with katatonia this October too 10-16-11. I appreciate it all.

[deafghost52]

The scream at 18:59 is so fucking epic, it shoulda been included in the lyrics...

[deafghost52]

It's hard to believe that I used to hate - not dislike, HATE - death metal. But now, because of these guys... :-D I FUCKING HEART OPETH!!!!

[greineisen84]

Btw it's nice to know there's people out there listening to great music like this.

[jamesthepyro1]

wow, i knew that Opeth songs were long, but THIS LONG?!?!?! this song kept me entertained from start to finish :)

[pierog113]

WOW, 16 second scream. WTF :D:D

[pierog113]

Four people are just idiots -,-

[pierog113]

Fucking dark, Great bass but he is a lttle to hide for me ;) I love Celtic atmosphere.

Best opeth song!

[unboxing444]

@pierog113

Oh yeah!

[w1mp15h]

many thanks for the upload man.

[purplewalnut89]

@bloodgodkhorne93 because like 98% of their songs are long or didnt you know that ? lol

[purplewalnut89]

i have morning rise, orchard, my arms your hearse and heritage and ghost reveries but i i dig the scream at 19:00 lol

[greineisen84]

@purplewalnut89 It is an awesome scream I had to replay it in my car today lol. It's like the icing on the cake or the cherry on top or the final nail in the coffin or something.

[bloodgodkhorne93]

y is it so long

[Huhbuhduh]

@bloodgodkhorne93 Dude, Prog metal is almost only long songs...

Look up Dream Theatre - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, it's over 40 min long

[novembre8211]

2:15 is a musical orgasm, LOVE that riff

[ballsthatclank]

04:12 got me hooked on Opeth, and I have been ever since.

Beauty, skill, and creativity.

[BOOLsheet]

the main problem with this band is that they dont have enough talent

[MrBretowsky]

@BOOLsheet Yeah, we can see the validity of your argument just by looking at your account name.

[BOOLsheet]

@MrBretowsky random riffs + lack of guitar talent + trying too hard to make different music = failure

[MrBretowsky]

@BOOLsheet Cool story bro

[iceseekers]

@BOOLsheet are we listening to the same band? did you miss the beautiful acoustic passage at 9:15? The outro? Opeth isn't the band that tries to be different - they do what they like. I also wouldn't call the riffs "random". Despite how overused and improperly that word is used, the riffs in this song fit right in as they tie in with the feel of the song, and are not "random". I can see how they may seem numerous, but they all build the same song.

[maggotMEarxidia]

@BOOLsheet allright....i have read that too...opeth has no talent...im sory about you:(

[stevocro]

@BOOLsheet and what do you mean by talent?

[demonof90]

um.... MOST epic scream ever!!!

[blizzardtheory]

@MyMytalMajesty hey , just like you , i'm Opeth's fan. let's enjoy. what do you think about Heritage?

[kaushik9918]

Mike, Peter, Lopez and Mendez - the best line-up ever. Thumbs up if you agree.

[MrArghhhh]

@kaushik9918 mike, peter, johan & anders on this, dude...

[ironrushscorp]

@kaushik9918 don't forget per... i loved that guy... he added a whole new element to the band

[yoe91]

@kaushik9918 what if we don't ?

[spectralnighttravel]

@kaushik9918 That's strange you would say such a thing on a song that had only two members of said line-up. Personally, I think Opeth's first two albums are their best, so I would have to disagree.

[CosmicSea07]

@kaushik9918 Chuck Shuldiner, Paul Masvidal, Steve Digorgio, Sean Reinert

[mexicutiner88]

@CosmicSea07 Fuck yeah bro! the Human line up was the sickest.. Opeth is sick but

DEATH all the way!!!

[SomethingWild9608]

@CosmicSea07 I love all those musicians but I find Human overrated, even for a Death album.

[WhammySammy]

@CosmicSea07 Oli Sykes, Matt Nicholls, Lee Malia, Matt Kean, Jona Weinhofen! Let's bring on the hate!

[TheSpiderHand]

@CosmicSea07 I don't even give a fuck what you're talking about and don't need to look up CosmicSea07's comment, I love your comment that much.

[fullatvideo]

@CosmicSea07 Wow Chuck is Inmortal man that guy reallygived a new meaning to music with Death, that is not a simple band its a masterpiece!

[Eibon29]

@kaushik9918 I agree with @CosmicSea07 's lineup

[diecasterofthespirit]

@kaushik9918 Jari maneppa , Chuck Shuldiner , Ackerfelt , and alexi ligho

[treeplucker]

just heard heritage and i must say its a great album like nothing theyve put out before but thats why i love opeth no 2 albums sound the same opeth is all about diversity in music and they make the music that they want not what they think everyone else wants to hear thats what makes them great musicians aside from the obvious they know how to play the most brutal riffs then throw in beautiful flowing passages

[knutilord]

Melodic metal and a spliff.....traveling behind space to unknown galaxies !

[KevinPatrickCarey]

4:11 starts one of the most sinister sounds things I've ever heard. I am not afraid to admit that riff gives me CREEPS!

[robesao]

The only part i really really dislike about this song is that it has to end...

[brdaws]

Fortunetly we have a band like opeth in this times of shity music, albums like this make my days much better....this is my new born sons lulaby along with Echoes from Pink Floyd :-).... ok the new song from Heritage is like a drug to him.... in two minutes he goes to sleep like a rock :-D

[GalderIncarnate]

@brdaws Echoes....Mmm

[Paulnl1]

The part from 17:25 until the end is the best part for me. It really builds to a worthy ending of the song. I've noticed that the outros of Opeth songs often have this quality to them. The outros seem to be the best parts of their songs.

[yoe91]

@Paulnl1 Maybe not "the best" but that's right: think Heir Apparent, Deliverance, Master's Apprentice, A Fair Judgment, Dirge for November - some of the best outros in metal ever, no exaggeration.

[kalmegadensiferum]

18:59 to 19:20 what is it, exactly ? growl or a scream ? :O

[nightbringer757]

@kalmegadensiferum Sounds like a mixture of both lol

[kalmegadensiferum]

@nightbringer757

lol soimething only Akerfeldt can do i guess.... :D

[GoatBorn]

@kalmegadensiferum Both.  He's that good.

[Philipfilip]

HIDDEN INSIDE THE GOLDEN SHRINE!!!

[VagelisOpeth]

I want them to play this live!!fantastic spectacular super masterpiece it is

[ZSonicMaster]

Once the end of this song scared me to such an extent that I had to turn it off.

[demonkleaner]

THE AMARANTH SYMBOL!!

[angstikala]

The mid-part of this song is possibly the greatest piece of art ever created.

This song is just so sick!

[21stCSchizoidName]

Hate to say this, but this along with the rest of the first two albums is just sub-par, dragging, boring melodic death metal. It's 20 minutes long for the sake of being so: there's no reason this couldn't have been divided into several pieces. Even Mikael says he dislikes the style of the first two albums; thank God, because he finally started writing some interesting, cohesive material starting from My Arms, Your Hearse.

Sorry Opethbros... this is just boring. Can't wait for Heritage though.

[SolSilence]

@21stCSchizoidName Personally i prefer It but I don't mind :) enjoy what you enjoy

[noobasism1]

@21stCSchizoidName boring????these riffs are one by one masterpieces and this song is just 20 minutes of awsomeness. Not a single weak part in these 20 minutes. If you tell me you don't enjoy these riffs either I won't believe you or I will think you don't have a good taste of music. Listening to this music just gets you stoned..

[beniliusbob]

@21stCSchizoidName What you meant to say was that Orchid and Morningrise are raw, creative albums, and starting with My Arms, Your Hearse Mikael Akerfeldt hit upon a commercializable prog-metal formula he has since beaten into the ground. The only album that really compares to the first two is "Deliverance," which was so incredibly brutal compared to the other albums that it actually stood out.

[21stCSchizoidName]

@beniliusbob No. That is not, in fact, what I meant to say.

[iseefurtherthanyou]

@21stCSchizoidName agreed. when they use too many of their death metal influence in their pieces, it drags. ghost of perdition, for example, uses the right amount of each of their influences and remains interesting throughout.

[iseefurtherthanyou]

@iseefurtherthanyou too much*

[BeingBadAtMaths]

@21stCSchizoidName Still, it needs to be said that their first two albums have that raw energy and hunger to strive for better that's in their later releases. Not saying that's a bad thing, but I can see the merits of each album. Plus, it's arguably their most atmospheric albums of their whole catalogue (akin to black metal albums), next to My Arms, Your Hearse. Plus, no offense to Mendez, but the first three feature some of the best bass work.

[BeingBadAtMaths]

@BeingBadAtMaths NOT in their later releases, excuse me...

[nikolakistdglover]

@21stCSchizoidName what mikael didn't like about the first two albums was the sound quality not the albums in general

[SomethingWild9608]

That lick at 8:15 is so evil sounding! It reminds me of Euronymous' solo on Freezing Moon.

[blizzardtheory]

what a great band! good musicians, poetry, you feel by listening, they love what they do, pretty rare thing to find in our present time. 15,20 min a track? how many groups get this? no, OPETH is really above most .i agree, last albuns lost some in inspiration, growls were put aside, but still remains a great ammount to enjoy. at least,they're trying,experiencing, i don't believe in a Opeth reduced by market influences

[12ga9mm]

This is the way I like to remember them. The new album sucks balls just like watershed and gohst reveries. So sad:( R.I.P. Opeth...

[ActiveAMS]

The song should be longer like an extra 2 hours

[JoshuaLKoch]

So, so, MAGNIFICENT

[AggresssivePerfector]

13:37 - that riff really is 1337! :D

[welovedickblake1]

LOL! i laughed so hard the first time i heard 8:11

[chillkill1234]

i listen to this song every 20 min.....

[ULTRAMAGGOT666]

Not long enough.

[blizzardtheory]

a dislike in this song is so absurd as cursing a firefighter, what these people are doing? hell, go to jb's profile or any other trash you listen!

[TheFinalGame182]

4 People don't understand the meaning of life...

[CorruptionLord]

Dear the three "Thumbs Downers"

What you clearly thought was the DOWNload button is actually the "Vote DOWN" button.

[mikeokl]

@MikeLamb24 this is nothing like slipknot, opeth is not meant to be 'br00tal' -.- anyway there are no numbers in the word brutal, thats common sense.

also slipknot is not death metal so don't call it that its offensive to all good death metal when you do. just try listen to the song for what it is :)

[jhoncaful]

esta si es la orginal solo 20 minuticos no mas de una cancion

[madduxstormie]

Best part: 13:38

[loblit05]

@MikeLamb24 r u serious? 

[MikeLamb24]

@loblit05 I thought this was a Slipknot rip off. Then I saw this came out before Slipknot. This has good drums I guess (No Joey Jordison), but it just is not as br00tal as Slipknot. Its not bad don't get me wrong. Slipknot is just too powerful for other death metal bands

[loblit05]

@MikeLamb24 well, this is not that brutal. its a mournful poem with metal music. also, slipknot is not death metal. good screams, though. i like them. i have "all hope is gone" but i dont think theyre that good, nowhere near opeth. most metalheads will agree with me, but they would probably be more rude if they read ur comment. i wont, its a matter of taste

[Cherudex]

@MikeLamb24 I have to understand the connection u made between slipknot and opeth... it's like compare Bruce Springsteen and Metallica... why?

[rockprogmetal]

@MikeLamb24 This is probably their most mellow album (besides damnation), but saying that slipknot is more brutal and a death metal band is fucking stupid. Listen to some of Opeths heavier music, it makes slipknot look like pussy crap

[Megadedly]

@MikeLamb24 You're such a troll.

[Crazy3189]

@MikeLamb24 this must be a joke or something

[Melchiah91fs]

What a fuckin' ending!!!!!!! Masterpiece!!!!

[michtribe]

you gotta watch :

The Drappery Falls Masterpiece with added subtitles..

on my channel

[michtribe]

great powerfull intro with drums and a great guitar riff..terrifying brutal growling vocals..amazing melody..slowing down to clean guitars then back with a heavy breaking bridge...into hell with the growling vocals and an amazing riff...then everything falls into a clean island with clear vocals ...enjoy the trip till the end with the Black Rose Immortal ....an amazing 20's century Musical Masterpiece.

[KyleJPie10]

9:42 is possibly one of the most beautiful works of art that has ever penetrated my young ears.

[Haxer87]

art...........\00/

[amevilee]

When I start listening to this song, It is against the law to interrupt me.

[DEATHAWAITSYOURLIFE]

Masterpiece!!!!! Akerfeldt have a great voice!!!!

[brentbanaagbaab]

The part at 1:53 sounds medieval or something like that... Seems like a "Once upon a time" background music...

[AwesomeArson]

Anyone excited for Opeth's new album Heritage? :)

[Schweini8]

@AwesomeArson I hope it's like Orchid and Morningrise, I seriously doubt it though... Anything from opeth is good however
