Opeth Discussion
!!!CPAOI!!!:
I did a search for Opeth topics and only found one way back in 2005. There are some pretty serious headbangers on this forum and I wanted to open a discussion on this band's work. They seem to have an extremely polarizing effect on metal fans, so I think a dialogue on their music and it's relevance in the metal world would be something actually stimulating to talk about amidst a slew of really stale threads. I'll post my opinions if this thread actually goes somewhere (I really hope it does). Cheers.

Mikael blows me away with his ability to seamlessly bounce from cookie monster type vocals to clean vocals and back again. It took me forever, but after much prodding by both one of my coworkers and my old bass player to check these guys out, I finally did, and I have to say I've been impressed. I really think this band has a lot more to offer than your average metal band...so there's my two cents
Gridgm:
there are better bands in the genre...but not by much...i like the latter stuff better than the earlier stuff despite what people say about them recycling material (i also love that bit jsut after the ten minute mark in deliverance)
Dimmukane:
used to like them, when I thought the Gothenburg scene was king. I still enjoy them, Ghost Reveries has some really sick drumming on it. But nowadays, I tend to listen to less repetitive stuff, or Arsis - A Diamond For Disease. That song is 13 minutes long, repeats itself just as much as Opeth, but somehow remains catchy. It's much heavier, though.
Scytale:
I love Opeth, especially "Morningrise", that album would be in my all time top 10. I can appreciate their entire catalogue but I enjoy their first three albums the most.
While Mikael's vocals are good the thing that I enjoy the most about Opeth is the song writing. A lot of their albums are incredibly well put together.
