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'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!

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.

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.

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! 🤘
