    Is there a Melbourne instore for Opeth?

    I rang the Corner last night and they haven't heard anything either...

    Anyone else love recent Ulver?

    Yeah, I recently started listening to some Ulver mp3s and 'Perdition City' is near the top of my must get list. Damn moody music, almost like a non sci fi Bladerunner soundtrack. 'Metamorphosis' is cool when I am in the right mood and I will get that too when I have the money. I haven't...

    Opeth's lyrics, on a whole, suck. Badly.

    It has already been mentioned, but the session diaries show that Mikael doesn't spend any length of time constructing technically sound poetry, perfect english etc, nor does it seem he wants to. I agree that is silly to critique Opeth lyrics this way when a lot of the time they clearly form...

    Type O Negative

    I like Type O Negative, although I hardly listen to 'em anymore. October Rust is a great album to just chill out to or put on at a party. The sense of humour kind of balances the serious goth stuff which is good, although it still can be annoying sometimes!! They must be due for a new album...

    complexity of deliverance

    The complexity of the album really hit me on the second listen. However it now seems to reside in different aspects of the overall songs comparing them to other albums. I find it hard to put my finger on it exactly, but I agree that this album is their most complex in a sense and definitely the...

    Deliverance a disappointment....

    BWP was by no means a lowpoint, but it is certainly my least favourite Opeth album, so I admit I was a little concerned for a while about the new releases being a bigger sort of drop-off for me. Here I go again :) (skip next paragraph if you have seen my other posts today!!!) But, I just...

    Deliverance was my First Opeth album...now where to go?

    Yeah, MAYH is a good choice if you liked the heaviness.

    Are there still any Deliverance virgins out there?

    I got mine today after a couple of failed attempts at some of the more erratic vendors of metal yesterday! So, the cherry has been popped...POP! All I can say is, like I did in another thread, is that the maturity of Deliverance is what immediately caught my attention. Alongside the fact that it...

    Deliverance + Australia = anyone???

    I got mine from Metal Mayhem this morning and they still have the digipaks. Premium price though: $35-. Not that I cared really. Deliverance totally surprised me, I didn't really know what to expect, but I am already supremely impressed by the maturity. Opeth continue to surprise me without...

    Just got back from Mayhem...

    Cool, thanks. Yeah, I live in Melbourne at the moment. Where are you from? I am actually not a great fan of Mayhem or anything, but Maniac et al had an awesome stage presence and energy that totally blew away all of the other acts...irrespective of black metal, whatever. You have to admit...

    Just got back from Mayhem...

    Mayhem were unreal. Maniac was awesome. ThyWyrM, what is your problem? Chalice, Enter Twilight were great. Contrive were ok. The instore was quieter than I expected. They showed up like an hour late or something apparently becuase the were getting pissed at the sound check......But, I was...

    Opeth are no longer my fav.

    There is a quality to Opeth's music that is missing in Novembre. That's probably not a bad way to describe it.

    Rhayader goes to Town

    Oh, that has made my day. But now, where to find it? I would also be very interested in acquiring it...my favourite song from the Snow Goose! Joy to the world!
