My favorite Opeth song, without a doubt! This is part 2 of the song Blackwater Park by Opeth.

Opeth is a Swedish heavy metal band that formed in 1990 in Stockholm. The band, which has been through several line-up changes, currently comprises Mikael Åkerfeldt (vocals/guitar), Fredrik Åkesson (guitar), Martin Mendez (bass), Martin "Axe" Axenrot (drums), and Per Wiberg (keyboards). Since the band's inception, there have been 15 official members, with Åkerfeldt being the one continual member.

Opeth's dominant style of music is Scandinavian death metal, however, the band combines their genre with progressive metal, progressive rock, folk, jazz, and blues, and their songs last an average of ten minutes. A notable exception in their catalogue is the 2003 release of Damnation, a predominantly progressive rock record containing no death metal styled vocals, distorted guitars, double bass drumming, or songs over eight minutes in length.

  • Some of my favourite growls ever in this song. The ending is the heaviest thing i've ever heard. I've listened to a lot of metal, and even the most Brutal Technical Heavy Scandanavian Death metal band can't come close to how Brutal the ending to this track is. Everything just comes together perfectly. The bleak lyrics, evil as fuck vocals, crushingly heavy guitars, lopez and his awesome drumming and double bass, and mendez with his bass riffs. Fucking blows me away every time.

  • This band is pretty awesome, kind of reminds me of a midway between BTBAM and Dream Theater.

  • Well... I just shat myself. Anyone else?

  • The outro is very beautiful, but also contains an air of evil simply inexplicable

  • @UnarmedSnowman indeed a good ending, however i liked the ending to white cluster better :))

  • imo, THEE best ending to any song

  • @CiRrUsMiAsMa - they are far above BTBAM and Dream Theatre. Mostly because they are from where this music was born - Scandinavia. Americans never had that "something", necessary to be real brutal tho deep.

  • Ha, welcome to the cult Looneylinens!. BP is truly immense, gets me so pumped up I could wrestle a herd of enraged otters or something!.

  • This is the first Opeth song I've ever heard, holy shit. Lol as we speak I am downloading their discography! Made me want to tear my own fucking head off. Love it.

  • @hersheynugget121

    still a pretty accurate comparison. and yeah, DT are pretty bad

  • @CiRrUsMiAsMa

    Opeth came way before btbam, and are way better than dream theater.

  • "THE SUN SETS FOREVER OVER BLACKWATER PARK!!!!!!!"

    Epic lyric.
