This is benign and irrelevant claptrap; an utterly nugatory fusion of 70s prog and black metal that the Hot Topic kids will just gobble up. If you listen to this band, do the world a favor: buy a chain wallet with skulls on it and hang yourself.
christians can get the fuck out of here!!! I am not religious, I respect religions, but religions (especially christianity) doesn't respect other religions and none-believers... :(
@vaxkors95 I'm a Christian and I respect other believes and religions. You've probably had bad expiriences with other Christians but not everyone is like that.
@dreamxclown I respect people like you but I think that christianity is blind and makes no sense at all. Just read the Bible to realize that Christianity is full of contradictions... but anyway I respect you because you don't impose your beliefs to other people, like the most christians that I know...
This is beautiful. I've listened to this song about 100 times since I saw them 4 nights ago. Great show, an amazing performance by all of them. Mikael is a funny guy too!
@KingOfParrots How the fuck would you know what they believe? Nergal from Behemoth is actually a believer in god, and hates satanism, I know this because my dad is friends with him
Or maybe it's representative of a death in belief, not everything is literal. Many artists have made that statement and it is not what they are trying to convey at all. Also, collective opinion. God does not have to refer to the "Christian" perception of it. Not everyone believes in God either. Telling someone you cannot listen to something because of a religious under current isn't called for though. Besides it's not about that; it's about the music<3
well this isnt my account lol but i had to say that opeth is dark perfection and they are pratically all i listen to all day =P i love this song, it makes me want to cry and be happy that ppl can hear this perspective through michael's poetic words. =]
I'm actually great fan of technical/brutal/satanic/blackened death metal, but I love all Mikael's work including Opeth. Opeth is something special in world of metal music and music in general. Beautiful and inspirational music, but in same time very technical and balanced. Simply, great !
And of course I have whole discography of Opeth, there is no bad Opeth album. Each on of them is special and beautiful in its own way.
IMO this is by far the best album just by lyrics. Little too mellow for me at some points. Still lurbz it better than any other band. <3 forever Opeth
:) It makes me so proud that this video has so many views... I don't know if it is a lot of people with really good taste in music, or just really devoted Opeth fans... but it makes me proud nonetheless.
Some people aren't willing to settle for meaningless pop music, and it gives me some hope. But I didn't expect that many.
the whole album is about a man who gets exiled from his town for being atish, then 15 years later he comes back for her love melinda, but finds out she has converted into a nun. Melinda decides to escape with the protagonist but they get caught by the church and executed. lovely story, and sorry for my bad english.
@TheAwesomeTool Really? are you sure abt the story? I'm sorry but im abt to publish what you just said so i want to make sure.. can u tell me ur reference please. thank you.
mikael akerfeldt seriously needs to be in any discussion wth mozart and beethoven. he's seriously THAT gifted. i wish i could go back to 2000 and re-discover this group all over again.
It's a band. Who cares what genre they fall under? Either you like a song, or you don't. What genre it belongs to shouldn't affect whether you like it or not. If it does, it's because you're an insecure twat, and desperately want to be part of a group.
If you don't like country, that's fine. it doesn't mean you hate country music. It means that every country song you've heard, you disliked. If you can't mentally separate those two, you have no business criticizing music, or anyone's tastes.
@RockZord I really do hate country music.. and no not just every country song I've heard, I just hate the style of music. Also, I criticize your tastes.
Been into Opeth since Blackwater Park. The guys are going f rom strength to strength. Not one weak track. Best band since Yes!! I have held Yes as the best band ever for the best part of 25 years, Opeth have now taken pole position!!!
Masterpiece!
