Opeth - Harlequin Forest

[dmemswiler]

My son turned me onto this song and then Opeth in Houston. I don't think he wants to kill me (response to prior sorry ass lament from the pit of hell) ....

I love the power .... Emerson Lake and Palmer voice up front, with YES and TULL musical dramas and the current-era METAL of metalica or Demon Hunter!! Awesome. (Dude, get some respect for your father ... you could not enjoy Opeth without him .... ) PEACE PEACE OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH !!!

[rxjam21]

Why did you cut the final of this music?

[DrToker82]

Opeth gave me the courage to kill my father - Thanks Opeth

[marko92pn]

Why am i naked? Simply an amazing song!

[MultiBoten]

Im totaly addicted to this awsome song! Euphoria !

[yourmaker74]

42 minutes until 2012, Harlequin Forest, guide me into the new year

[FrakTheGods2011]

Who cut the end chugs out?! Whoever you are, you're an asshole.

[metalpi3x]

The intro riff makes me feel like i'm in a car chase from a james bond movie. Opeth is real music, not talentless rap or shitty bands like nickelback.

[TyrannosaurusMan]

I strapped Two 15" subs to my head and blasted this at night, wasted, knee deep in a swamp!

[PyroSPtG]

138,476...? why are they only counting my views?

[kornguy437]

this song is about me turning into werewolf at night in forest

[SkogFe]

Estupendo

[XenoChrist2011]

i love how this song is about to build up after a clean part, but instead of doing so it just dives more into a 12-string awesomeness *____*

[AlexanderLucian]

My computer's sound card slows it down a little and it sounds a lot heavier XD

[Slayerkid16]

10 minutes of epicness

[Tannerhowie]

into the fiery lambs-milk vaj bro.

[WeedKrop]

This should have more views, It's one of Opeth's finest songs

[Szlips2]

ashuahsuhausauhsu 2:43 is funny!!!

[DaPainer]

When you're alone in home, close the lights, close the curtains, press play on this song and sit on a chair in the middle of the room and close your eyes and enjoy the feeling this song provides you. Awesome experience

[novembre8211]

@DaPainer And don't forget to light one up - that makes it even better :)

[Boristhaspydr]

@DaPainer burn candles....let the atmosphere consume you. a doobie helps too!

[sean447744]

7:19 into the song! Incredibly powerful transition! Damn this song is brilliant!

[Iloveopeth125]

WOW you guys havnt heard the new opeth album heritage yet?

its released september 20th

i got the tracks on my channel but if you want to download the album yourself ill PM you the link haha

[thelotuseater91]

@Iloveopeth125

Its the 23rd, and I have it. And its fucking insane.

[MelindaOrchid]

@LotocSabbath

Yeah....is the true :(

[AtomicExplosion95695]

Dude, @P3treos, wtf is ur problem? You let it end too soon and cut out my favorite part.

[EsotericRogue]

@AtomicExplosion95695 It's hard when the song is over YouTube's 10 minute limit.

[vaxkors95]

@LotocSabbath we have to spread Opeth to the world =O

[novembre8211]

Anyone who listens to this and says it's not "real" music, is a complete and utter fucking idiot

[860712]

I once really hated metal and growling, this song made me change my opinion completly!!

[yankillyou]

if you like this song you guys should definitely listen to Artist :Anne-Lie Rydé

Song :Regntunga Skyar, Mikael has been influenced by her while he wrote harlequin forest and the resemblance somehow is obvious =)

[UnzonedThrash]

hey Metal Family, Check out my channel. tell me how we sound Colour Out of Space - Azonei -

[Dio100tube]

05:59~7:19

I can fap to this solo.

[jimbobanalbeats]

@Dio100tube lmao thanks for the image. The slow groovy fap. Ahh yeah.

[mrdeathamore]

9:29-9:58

And now the woods are burning

Tearing life crops asunder

Useless blackened remains

Still pyre smoldering

What a fucking amazing part \m/

[Kill3rJuggalette]

@mrdeathamore whats funny is mikeal doesn't believe an of his lyrics are good he doesn't give himself the ol pat on the back the man is a genius and being so hard on himself is probably what leads to such masterpieces

[mrdeathamore]

Best Opeth song. Period.

[joelakastud123]

@LotocSabbath i have friends who listen to nothing but radio music and i pitty them so they know not what talent is

[mewantsmash]

Thumbs up if by listening to opeth and other metal bands has given you a soul. And by that I mean without Opeth you would still be just another brick in the wall of artless, meaningless pop music

[Th3Aft3rEff3ct]

@mewantsmash Opeth gave me a reason to carry on numerous times in my times of desperation. I am eternally thankful that this amazing band exists. I never thought I would find such a band that fills me with so much positive emotion, even though most of their lyrics are about depression and death, this band really speaks to me.

[DONTCKLICKMYNAME]

@mewantsmash True.

[Rockin88Keyz]

@mewantsmash If it weren't for Opeth, I'd be a cliche' ginger.

[ubermaster94]

@mewantsmash i like pink floyd too >:( (not mad just kidding but i do like floyd)

[eyeofthecrow]

@mewantsmash lol @ pretentious crap. Nice mindless Pink Floyd reference, though. Anyway, song is legit, as is most of Opeth's work.

[adiofootwear11]

@mewantsmash the reason i listen to metal bands like this is because i had a soul to begin with

[ilithru]

@mewantsmash Thumbs up if this comment meant shit all ha ha. you still ARE just "another brick in the wall" and ALWAYS will be. you dont need to listen to opeth to find a "soul", that should come naturaly. you certainly dont need them to realise pop is.... not meaningless but just plain un-original brainwashing shite most of this mouth breathing generation fall for.you listen to opeth for pure plessure, and to admire their genius song writing skills xxxx

[ruleram1]

@mewantsmash I have genres of other musicians to fall back on but Opeth is certainly the most influential band I have listened to. Almost like this music makes you a seer of some sort or something like that.

[Opeth15cool]

Wow I have been listening to Opeth for like five or six years and I have never heard this song...

[Booboorella]

@Opeth15cool But how? D=

[Th3Aft3rEff3ct]

@Opeth15cool ....HOW?? I've only been listening to them since '09 and within the first few months I listened to every single song haha

[METALMETALAS]

JIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[novembre8211]

3:30 to 7:19 is made of win

[TheOsizz]

@LotocSabbath SAAAD BUT TRUUUUE

[LWRCftw]

@TheOsizz hehe metallica

[marktda]

the missing final is terrible, wakes you up when you are sleeping in the opeth's cradle..

[1111Sean1111]

Man... this song is just perfect!!!

[mrdeathamore]

@1111Sean1111 Yeah, this is one of Opeth's best. fucking LOVE IT.

[KVHelwig1337]

Guys. Don't feed the trolls. The more you feed them, the more they come back to beg.

[Metallikakka]

that growl at 02:33 always gives me the chills. wholly crap.

[DENO393]

wow nailing chick?maybe ghost of perdition could make me do that but this song makes me calm.

[RedLipsNStilletos]

Well THIS is amazing.

[novembre8211]

Man, that bridge at around 5:58 or so is just brilliant. That is music you can really get lost in...

[1oziris1]

oh my god this is so fucking awesome :'(

[darksaturos1]

When i just want to sit down and soak in some truly inspiring music from the soul, I'll always go to Opeth.

[Quazium]

man this song sucked when I first heard it , but I was a noob , who coulden t listen to music as talented and complex as the music of opeth ..... then after hearing it a second time i started to not even listen to the music , I also started to feel it everytime i listened it it became more and more.

Opeth opened a new world of pure extacy for me <3!

[Quebecboys]

0:00 to 10:01 = pure awsomeness :)

[Niamorg1007]

Best intro + Best outro  EVER

[razzor7]

cept that us real metal heads haven't listened to Harvest since about two months after we first heard the Blackwater album, ;p

[nirjohanan123]

Justin bieber made 9 accounts and disliked every metal video ever made in youtube the mthafcka :D

[forumsigner]

@nirjohanan123 wow i cant believe how ignorant u fags are. As much as i dont like justin's music, i gotta say that its the record companies making him sing like a fag so that THEY make the money. U think hes making the most of the money? Hell no. and if u guys would actually pay attention u would notice that the song he was playing in his first youtube vid was "Harvest" BY OPETH! listen to it. youll see. Justin loves metal, u dont even know...

[fanobieber1]

@forumsigner OMG i didnt know he likes this stuff? Everyones just jealous because they arent famous and good looking like my Justin!!!!

<3 I love u Justin <3

[DrDrolomehet]

@fanobieber1 Fuck the hell off.

[xDiego8390x]

@forumsigner i am a nigger

[forumsigner]

@xDiego8390x uhhhhhh..... ok...

lol, why was this replied to me?

[505Viking]

@forumsigner Probably because this is what you should be listening too ;)

[xDiego8390x]

@forumsigner i am a nigger

[thrideye387]

@forumsigner i don't believe you, link me this video of beiber listening to opeth

[Luih4]

@forumsigner any sources?

[LWRCftw]

@forumsigner I don't believe you.  send me a link.

[tucris1000]

@forumsigner Obvious troll is obvious. Regardless, try not to shit on Opeth by discussing trash music on their videos, comments are only enabled to discuss how awesome they are in every way. All other comments will be corrected as such. The 9 dislikes were obviously from people with parkinson's and are thus forgiven.

[oOBLEAKOo]

@tucris1000 Although I agree that hes trolling, your comment was pure ignorance at its best.

"Hey lets just feed the troll even moar!" If you keep giving them food, they will keep coming back.

[tucris1000]

@oOBLEAKOo do you seldom make contradicting YouTube accounts?  dumbass...

[oOBLEAKOo]

@tucris1000 No I don't, but why the need for insults? Nevermind, don't answer. I'm not here to argue.

[gocybigt1]

@tucris1000 The 9 dislikes were obviously from people with parkinson's and are thus forgiven. awsomesauce!

[Narutofan9993]

@forumsigner Doesn't smell of trve. Why would you watch Bieber's vlogs in the first place? To get to know him better? I don't care if he listens to metal anyway. He should know better than polluting the music scene. Nobody put a gun to his head and made him sing those stupid songs. You're giving him too much slack for listening to metal. Metallica started out great and has listened to much more metal than Justin. Still, they got crap from the fans for St.Anger. Emmarait?

[thelotuseater91]

@forumsigner

Put the link on here for all to see. I'll believe it when I hear it!

[Faohlun]

@forumsigner Thank you. I'm so fucking tired of these anti Justin comments. I will check out that vid.

[gocybigt1]

@forumsigner they make him sing like a fag? unless there is a gun involved he has choice just like the rest of us so idc what kind of music he likes if he just conforms to what anyone else wants no matter what reason or how big or small the paycheck then he is no metal head he is either ignorant to what metal is about or does not care im sorry but he is undeserving of being compaired in any way to opeth they are the definition of playing what you love he and he is the oposite

[nirjohanan123]

9 ppl lick my $#@!

[KarimBoctorAwad]

@nirjohanan123 Yeah, a lot of people enjoy licking dollar signs and exclamation marks.

[Oraion100]

it makes wanna die.

I FUCKING LOVE IT *~*

[Slayerkid16]

10 Minutes of epic win!

[sony040]

i love how this song and the whole Ghost Reveries album is about a man that turns into a werewolf :D............... and then dies..

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

@sony040 I thought it was about a man who kills his mother and spends the rest of the album running from the devil, until he gets dragged to hell in "TGC"

[sony040]

"baying behind me, i hear the hounds, flocks chasing to find me alone"

"instruments of death before me" (as in claws as such)

"rising moon and my skin is peeling"

searching the darkness and emptiness, iam hiding away from the sun"

@Theonewhoclimbs28

[EtherealWreath19]

My absolute favorite song of all time, from my absolute favorite album, by my absolute favorite band. :)

[slayisinsanified]

i sing this song while taking a shower

[2cutthroatterrorist]

@slayisinsanified LOL Already did that! Thats funny!

[jessman445]

this is not my kind of music its still good but its not for me

[cjgone2]

@jessman445

Takes time to get into the genre. Come back and try again. Good music is the music you can't get into the first time around.

[jessman445]

@cjgone2 i like the genre i like all kinds of metal mainly death and melodic but i dont like it when they mix in potrey or light vocals with the harsh growling vocals the harsh vocals are good in this one but i dont hate it or anything its just not for me

[greenblackswerl]

@cjgone2 i disagree. SOME good music you can't get into the first time around. However, there are some bands that i knew right off the bat were going to be a part of my life from the first 10 seconds.

[TheMeister31]

The "False pretension..." part is epic, good to see other ppl like it..Might be one of my Favorite Opeth moments, haha besides some of their solos and such..But that part in this song is just powerful and epic.

[Masturcheef92]

is their more or is it suppoed to just abruptly end their

[mkral55]

@Masturcheef92

no, the song is 11 or 12 minutes long, you hear the very first few notes of the last part in this youtube posting

[kvltasfvkk]

"Absinthe-minded"... how clever.

[kvltasfvkk]

"absinthe-minded" ... clever

[djkilmore1]

"It is all false pretension

Harlequin forest", my fav part/

[NovembreLaMorte]

I could understand bands that have Lyrics about religion, It's a large in depth subject, and has caused numerous problems.

Sex, is well an unimportant subject and only the perverted care that you porked a broad in a bathroom stall.

[OneGoodDeal]

I like that Opeth keeps clean lyrics, dont talk about sex, and dont get religous on yoU! :)

[affent]

I love you Petreos for uploading such a great song, I LOVE Opeth too, even too much

[Slipknot133skate]

Great Band.My favourite when i was 11!

[linkinn18]

Beautiful!!!!

The solo makes me cry!

[PlaguedMan]

7:19 ... holy shit. I want that voice, seriously.

And 5:05 *_*

[FuckingFaithless]

this isn't the full song..

[wookie128]

This is the best song ever!

[temlik666]

05:06 - 05:59 Fantastic

[TheMattgap]

Inside Out is better

[wolfeman85]

this song makes me wanna nail a chick in the woods at night

[dallamu1]

@wolfeman85 ou boi hell yeah you know how to score!)

[pacifiedfools]

@wolfeman85 Ted Bundy empathizes with you.

[TheAzidahaka]

@wolfeman85 DONE! you freeze your ass :D

[ForgotteMemories101]

@wolfeman85 lol just hope a snake doesn't bite your dick... oh wait, that'd give you an excuse to tell her to suck out the poison lol

[ReyCarmesi97]

@wolfeman85 Ted Bundy approves

[pinto8809]

fucking groove!!!!!

[nikeja]

indeed, awesome! 

[QuarkMesons]

Great track!!

[VikingTerror]

3:30 - 7:20 is what makes this band so great in my opinion. Harrowingly beautiful and sad at the same time in the midst of despair, anger and frustration. Only Opeth can pull this off so seemingly.

[TheAteam4eva]

@VikingTerror

Seamlessly even... :D

[theprimeform]

\m/

[1mSeal]

"All my matters expired so i run" i really liked that line it's on 2:06

[Vivito1987vino]

Pure sound

[PorcupineTheater85]

one of the best songs theyve ever done!

[Alexander507]

INTO THE TREEEEEEES...

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

Imagine making a video with Opeth highlights! Would be a hell of a long video cause it had to include allmost every part from allmost every song, that´s how brilliant they are!

[CitizenCain5]

Opeth is one of the few bands these days that actually knows how to put together a real song with a melody and a rhythm that shape both the feel and the destination of their songs.

[tool619]

' they are the trees.....' that line just makes me laught

[mikalo05]

There falls another Vapour hands released the blade Insane regrets at the drop Instruments of death before me Lose all to save a little At your peril it's justified And dismiss your demons As death becomes a jest You are the laughing stock Of the absinthe-minded Confession stuck in your mouth And long-gone fevers reappear

[RetroRifleGuitarist2]

i realy dont get why people hate long songs. theres more to love!

[redl3ss]

@RetroRifleGuitarist2 lol, it's funny, a friend of mine likes Opeth (=prog=long songs) but thinks that Dream Theater's "Octavarium" is too long... Not comparing the bands, just saying, if you really wanna listen to music, a song's duration won't matter

[wolfeman85]

@redl3ss opeth and dream theater are the only two bands that i can listen to their long ass songs and not get tired of em

[redl3ss]

@wolfeman85 what about Pink Floyd? :P

[wolfeman85]

@redl3ss not a huge pink floyd fan but their musics pretty good

[redl3ss]

@wolfeman85 oh come on :P Pink Floyd's long songs like SOYCD, Dogs, Atom Heart Mother and Echoes are epic!

[wookie128]

@redl3ss

Pink Floyd is so old, there is much more good music then only Pink Floyd my friend.

You cannot eat the same thing every day!!!!

[redl3ss]

@wookie128 of course there is so much more good music than only Pink Floyd. But, hell, their long songs are epic! And of course, Porcupine Tree's long songs are also epic... Anesthetize is one of my favourite

[GuitarRocks23455]

@wookie128 Hmm, I like the "You can't eat the same thing every day". I should say that to my narrow minded friend who has a very limited music taste.

[HeretoStay33]

anybody ever play castlevania symphony of the night? well opeth reminds me alot of the soundtrack for that game, so erie and calming, but yet very dark and mysterious. i love it!

[TheHuggles09]

i keep hearing ticks & leeches by tool everytime i hear the end of this song.. pure gold!

[TheOmagio]

lol found a band i havent heard sounds kinda like dream theater in a way xD maybe a little heavier

[amounirl]

Just bought this album :D

[portnoyfan100]

Opeth just rocks. Very well put together band. I cant belive the shit people listen to today. Lady KAKA, Beyonce, Jay Z. i KISSED A GIRL AND LIKEDTED IT. wHAT A BUNCH OF SHIT

[iXiAmPLiFiieDiXi]

O_O

[MrBlakeEm]

I came myself at 7:20

[xAsThePalacesBurnx]

That intro just sucks you in.

[Themastro81]

This is art! ! ! ! ! !

[schpleeb]

I'm sorry but WHAT a tune..

[istraks]

Eight people ought to puncture their ear drums with golf tees. They are no longer in need of them.

[woogieboogie123]

is the lyric of "of the absinthe-minded" correct? I've always thought it was "of the absent-minded"

[woogieboogie123]

@woogieboogie123 Also, this has got to be one of Opeth's best. This entire album is pure musical gold. 48K to be exact. Thanks for the song posts, 5*

[ak74srthebest0909]

opeth is one of the greatest metal bands around today!

[uscanga19]

fuck you!!! 1000 times stupid idiot what about the final part?? stupid bastard!!! Fuck U!!!!!

[AgentG1Man]

@uscanga19 Some idiot obviously doesn't know about the 10 minute video length limit on YouTube then -_-

Seriosuly, get your facts right before you start saying "fuck you" to someone or calling them a "stupid bastard".

[Jonathanaturmom]

@AgentG1Man I thought it was thirty.

[Mylovevc90]

Arch enemy and in flames are an embarrasment. You want some amazing music from Sweden listen to: Bloodbath, Katatonia, Aeon, Amon Amarth, At the gates, Meshuggah, Old Mans Child, Murduk, Dissection, and MMM Lord Belial, there's so many more I could post but I don't feel like going that far through my list. If anyone needs more bands message me.

[Haliph]

In Flames is the best Swedish band to ever live so you shut the hell up. If you've heard any of their old stuff and still think that you should kill yourself.

[Mylovevc90]

@Haliph I WILL listen to it because I am more open-minded than you are obviously, I am sure that there are plently of better bands out there than In Flames, for example Old mans child, gorgoroth, Burzum, Kalmah and Taake. Though some of those are a different genre. But you don't have to be mean about it I was just trying to broaden some peoples tastes of music by posting bands that I THINK are much better. But seriously there is no need to be a dick... could you give me some recomendations?

[quackmac3000]

@Mylovevc90 lol gorgaroth

[Nicksta101]

@Haliph So much for different opinions...
