I`m impressed that Opeth can play so complex songs on stage at all. It must take a lot of rehearsal to do it so flawless. Radiohead is an excellent band, "OK Computer" is among my favourite cds...

Bob Dylan sings about "Melinda, the goddess of gloom" in Highway 61 Revisited from 1965. To me this seems like a strange coincidence...

Perhaps it`s time to listen to some other music for a while?

Greetings, and welcome...

I couldn`t agree more. This album shows the potential of the cooperation between Michael and Steven that is fulfilled in Deliverance\Damnation.

Reroute to Remain is my favourite In Flames album. It has elements of the much despised nu-metal, but they use these elements in a brilliant way. Catchy American-sounding choruses and certain nu-metal attributes have been added to the intense, throttling mixture of the band's already memorable...

Difficult to guess, but if it`s correct that their records sell about 100.000 copies, and considering the dedication of their fans, I would say that there probably are less than 300.000 fans. I would be suprised if more than a million people worldwide has any interest in the band at all.

2 Million Opeth fans?? Not even when hell freezes over...

Nice lay-out and the page is really informative to people new to Opeth. I just have to say that the correct phrase is "superior to" not "superior over" as you have written.

There`s no music like Opeth and there`s no feeling like that of a blood-red fillet mignon melting on your tounge...

Opeth are underground and they will never try to attract a mainstream fan-base, they are far too buzy expanding the boundaries of music as we know it do so. Still, with the release of Damnation they have the ability to show their art to music-lovers who are unable to appreciate the beauty of...

During the period of their three first albums Opeth are increasing their skill as death metal musicians and Åkerfeldt increases his skill as songwriter. IN my opinion they really come to life as a truly unique band with the release of Still Life in 1999.. In this album they generate a truly...

Both Opeth and Tool are great bands that expand the boundaries of metal and music in general, and as such it is natural for them to attract some of the same fans.. While Tool are great innovaters in the use of sounds and instruments, Opeth is maybe the best the best band active today in the art...

Beautiful... Can`t wait to get my hands on that dvd.

Damn.. I was at both the norwegian gigs and they didn`t play "Face of Melinda" on any of them.. My only complaint was that there should have been more songs from "Still Life".
