Hi Everyone Just wanted to know if there are any OPETH Fans on this forum. They are my favourite band of all time. I was just listening to some of their stuf...

Any OPETH Fans on this forum?

Seventhson

Got into opeth recently. My old drummer saw them live. ???

Might not be as big as L.O.G commercially but in terms of respect they're getting I'll say it's on the same level if not more than L.O.G etc. Aekerfeldt's growls are badass, no other way to put it really, the cleans are the cherry on top, just adds that extra bit of awesomeness.
As mentioned the riffs are unique, usage of altered chords as opposed to merely using power chords, ambience all add to their unique sound.

One of my favourite things about this band is they can still be metal without the stereotypical "evil" lyrics, damn, he can growl about bees and daisies and it will still sound metal. ?

Got the Deliverance Album

Dig their tribute to Genesis on "For Absent Friends", really enjoy the guitar tone

Hammeron

Top ten for sure.

BMU

So what's the deal with the latest album, anyone got it? Sounds like 70s prog or something? I'll probably sit this one out, usually skip their low metal content albums.

Yeah, from the one or two songs I've heard of the new album I am completely disappointed. Unless and until the it grows on me I am just gonna pretend it doesn't exist.

I have just bought "Heritage" and it is definatley a different "Opeth" that I'm used to.
The only songs that i really like on the album is "The Devils Orchard" and "I Feel the Dark".
But I am listening to it everyday in the car and I am becoming fond of the 70's kinda prog influences. ?
So thats what I have to say about the new album. I'm going to go and listen to "Blackwater Park" now.

Oh and also to add..............This is my 250th post. That means that I am now a "FULL MEMBER OF GFSA" :dance:

Wahoo, good stuff on your 250th

Does Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) produce this album, this just might be up my street with the 70's prog influence.

DrGonzo

Yep Steve Wilson at the helms of production...

Give the album a chance - I remember the first time i heard opeth i wasnt impressed at all, after a couple of listens they fast became my ultimate favourtie band!
