i had never listened to opeth, and i have just discovered another world. it gets you out of your body and take you to some cold, dark and melancholic place. poetry with the shape of music
Damn it. You know, I saw Otep at a concert with some other bands about 5 years ago and it was one of the worst damn sets I've sat through. The band played slow, ambient notes while the chick recited crappy poetry. It's was like a big intro before just getting off stage. And all this damn time I thought it was Opeth I saw. I've missed out all these years. Damn you, Otep!
wow this is absolutely a masterpeice this is the first opeth song ive ever heard i know im gonna get hated for this but im a bit indifferent to the growls at the beginning i like it when the lead singer throat sings better
I remember first hearing this band in a mix cd that came with a music magazine I got at F.Y.E., wish I could remember the song but anyways it was the only song I liked on the cd, that was when I was 14, now I'm 18 and still love this band
Well.. I Listen to some opeth songs for the acoustic parts.. What i really love about opeth is the acoustic breaks in between, so ur opinion to me is a piece of talking bullshit
@chinesefoo13 so, i dug in the comments list, found one written 6 months ago where i said i didnt like most Opeth accoustic parts and insulted me for that. You must really be a dumbass.
something about this album is so great. The album picture is axactly what i see when i listen to this album. the guitar tone reminds me of Ride the Lightning, must me the JCM :P
well i just can't find the words to express how much i love this band but let me tell you the parts when i feel like mikael pours him self into my chest and i start listing through the deep bottom of my back::
i truly love opeth! they're my absolutely favorite band and i hope after their 20th anniversary in may 2010 they'll please us for not less than 20 more years!
Holy hell I love this song:P.... Opeth are great beyond the sky:P No one even come near them,,,, they are in a league of its own!!!! Thats rigth!!! They rule:D
oh my god i am learning this song on guitar and ...WOW its amazing... this is my first 11 minute song that i have ever learned. But i'm surprised i am not bored of learning this song,i usually do not finish 3 minute songs because they bore me to death
6:15 FTW. Best dam vocal growl... swear dude, this band is absolutely mind blowing. I can honestly say I have NEVER felt so much sorrow and anger in one song.. Opeth for life people !
@PennyDreadful1 yeah earlier opeth focused a lot on dual guitar melodies. opeth repeats a lot in earlier stuff (orchid, and this album). one of opeth's big stamps is repetition, personally opeth are one of the few bands that execute it without the feeling of boredom.
upon first hearing this in 1996, I bet all the metalheads of the time would have heard 2:48-5:00 and thought "WTF IZ DIS SHIT?" haha, fuckin metalheads
you know what i especially love about opeth, its how theres always special sections in each of their songs. always certain parts that just take u to a different world. which is why u always find people commenting saying what there favorite parts are, and then by the end of the song it feels like youve just comleted this epic journey
@iXiAmPLiFiieDiXi I used to hate the growls too, but they sort of grew on to me, or I became mentally calloused enough to enjoy them. I really like his growls abover any other, because they are soooo dark. Try 'ghost of perdition.' Such a powerfully dark song.
=] ... I can handle 'The Drapery Falls' because it lead up to the growl. I'll get stuck in to the song then it sounds awesome xD Still an awesome band in the end. There songs actaully have meanings...Mostly death, but i still <3 it :) especially when the instrumentals kick in ..
@weAREinthefuture the 1st growl like vocals i heard where the ones of Jonas Renkse( they were black metal screams actually) in Danve of December Souls and then the one of Akerfeld in Brave Murder Day. I didnt like them at all then but now i appreciate much more songs with extreme vocals and i like them
Dude you are so dumb. Opeth are one of the most revolutionary bands in metal today. They have one of the most original sounds of any metal band next to CoB who also have their own sound, and same thing with (I hate to say it because their new stuff sucks), CoF.
Anders Nordin was such a great drummer but no one every seems to mention him, only Lopez and Axe. It's too bad the drum sound on these first two albums sucked so badly, if there's ever a remix/remaster of them I'll pick em up immediately.
@Smackenzieth you just mentioned Nickelback..............Why? you just ruined life. shit, I ruined life by mentioning them....thanks for messing up my life by making me mention them....it's as bad as the chilld whose name may not be mentioned. thanks. you messed up my life.
oh how i love this song and every other song this band has ever recorded in every album this band has ever released. For a long time to come, I dont think Opeth could ever be matched.
they're recording their 20th annivesary live (like roundhouse tapes, but alot better) AND after that they will work on a new album...that means it's going to come out in late 2010 i suppose :)
BEST! i remember their performance in Tallinn. i lost my head during this song
