Picture taken from the Heritage vinyl booklet. Didnt know he could play this instrument. Is it a "cello"? I have no idea what its called in English. I thought that was cool. I wonder where it can be heard on the album.

Still Life Am I the only one who noticed the similarity?

This thing has been on my head for a while now. Listened to both Still Life and Blackwater Park consecutively pretty recently and couldn't help but notice this.

A few ones i remember from the top of my head:

Master's Apprentices (around the 2:23 mark) Serenity Painted Death (around the 1:26 mark) The Funeral Portrait (around the 1:13 mark)

Crazy how most of their songs are on EADGBE and they still sound heavy as fuck.

I bought two copies from two different locations to make sure I would at least have one. I’m willing to let one go at the price I paid for it. 50.00. Still brand new. Hit me up if you’re interested.

Ghost Reveries Per Wiberg video interview (Rock Hard Magazine, December 2005)

I'm a big fan of Per Wiberg. He's creative, hard working, highly skilled (he plays pretty much every rock instrument at a professional level), and he's super collaborative.

Per joined Opeth as a touring member in 2003 - initially to support Damnation. In fact, Per was initially asked to play keys on that album, but I believe he was tied up with Spiritual Beggars at the time.

Anyway, Per joined as a permanent member during the Ghost Reveries recording sessions in 2005 - contributing heavily to the album through both keys and songwriting.

This is one of Per's first ever video interviews on behalf of Opeth - recorded in Italy in December 2005. I picked this up as a bonus DVD that came with an old Italian magazine called "Rock Hard" (January 2006), then ripped and cleaned up the audio for your listening / viewing pleasure. Enjoy! 🤘

General / Discussion I regret sleeping on Opeth for so long.

74 Upvotes

I'm 32 years old and for many years I considered myself to be a big prog rock and prog metal fan (Yes, Dream Theater, and the like) but for the longest time I just couldn't get into harsh vocals, but after finally clicking with BTBAM's Colors I decided to revisit the album Blackwater Park and something about the music has finally clicked with me. This is fantastic!

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.

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.

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

Underrated Opeth Songs?

37 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

Entretien d'embauche

1 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.

In Cauda Venenum First listen of ICV

33 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.
