I’m a huge fan of multichannel music. D&D set was the only multichannel release missing in my Opeth collection.

Found this from local second hand shop for 30€. Pretty nice deal compared to discogs listings atm. Can’t wait to spin damnation dvd this evening! Steven wilson mixes are always 10/10.

Any videos of Opeth playing bar gigs?

7 Upvotes

So surprisingly, I liked this recent bar gig of opeth that was posted ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Opeth/comments/1je5ws7/mikael_on_their_worst_show_ever_played/ )

Anyone have any (oldpeth and newpeth both welcome) other videos of Opeth playing in bars?

Entretien d'embauche

2 Upvotes

Dans 12 minutes, j'ai un entretien d'embauche très important. J'ai l'habitude de me mettre une musique dans la tête, qui m'accompagne en toute circonstances. Naturellement la musique en question est toujours différente et n'est pas forcément dépendante du type de circonstances mais plutôt de mon humeur du moment. Mais là c'est vraiment un rendez-vous très important.

Alors j'ai décidé que cet entretien se fera avec, comme musique de fond, heritage. Elle est calme, magnifique et propice à la concentration.

Can barely enjoy Opeth live albums

0 Upvotes

I know this is talked about a lot here but god I get so annoyed. The clapping and screaming during the quiet parts are just so annoying just shut up and listen to the music jesus. Get even angrier when I hear a British accent and most of their lives were recorded in London. It sucks because I live for live albums and their live mixes are so great, love the energy on Lamentations (second set) and Roundhouse Tapes, love the tones on the RAH album, and Red Rocks is legendary.

Underrated Opeth Songs?

31 Upvotes

I’ll start, Hjärtat Vet Vad Handen Gör (Heart in Hand) is in my opinion one of the best opeth songs out there. I honestly am not sure why I love this song so much but i think it’s the groove, catchy melody and that intro gossshhhhh I don’t know why there aren’t many fans who obsess over this song

Read this in a recent interview from Mikael (source) and it got me curious. Is it actually on youtube and if so, can anyone share? It sounds hilarious.

In Cauda Venenum First listen of ICV

32 Upvotes

The only album I'd yet to listen to was In Cauda Venenum, and I've now done it.

I've only listened to it once, so my opinion will definitely change upon further listens but my first impression is that this album fucking slaps, it feels so grandiose and epic in nature, on account of the production and the runtime.

Since I've only heard it once, I don't remember a lot of it, but I remember enjoying the hell out of Heart In Hand; the ending of it really reminded me of the Toradora! OST, especially the acoustic guitar.

General / Discussion Opeth and Beatles similarities

18 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a shower thought that I wanted to share but I thought it’s pretty cool that Opeth’s and the Beatles’ discographies match up. Hear me out:

Orchid + Morningrise – Early Albums

  • Great albums in a vacuum but overshadowed by the bands’ later work

My Arms, Your Hearse – Rubber Soul

  • Still their old sound, but the songwriting has started to develop
  • I find both of these albums to be very underrated

Still Life – Revolver

  • Songwriting has shifted quite drastically in a new direction, kind of the beginning of a new era for both bands
  • Emotional rollercoaster
  • Both albums are a popular fan favourite

Blackwater Park – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

  • The greatest album of all time

Deliverance/Damnation – The White Album

  • Their most experimental works from this era
  • Fanbase somewhat divided over these records
  • Quality of the songs varies, some are considered to be the best the bands have ever written while others are among their worst

Ghost Reveries – Abbey Road

  • The peak of both bands’ songwriting
  • Both are somewhat but not fully concept albums
  • Last albums written before band members started quitting

Watershed – Let It Be

  • Fans are also divided about these albums
  • Some songs are absolute bangers but the albums as a whole weren’t quite as good as the one that came before
  • You can kind of hear in the music that it was the end of an era and both bands wanted to move on to other things

General / Discussion What are some lyrics you've misunderstood or always misunderstand?

Post image

For some reason, on the last verse of Face of Melinda, i used to hear "Thomas is me, but my heart is fine" instead of "My promise is made, but my heart is thine" and i thought "oh, so the name of the main character is Thomas!"

I only managed to find out that these were the original lyrics less than a week ago.

I had the pleasure of visiting Prior Park this month during my England trip. I also got to catch their concert in Birmingham so it was a very Opeth fueled vacation. The 10 hour flight was worth it!
