    Dumbest Opeth Question Yet..

    Hey friends, I was introduced to Opeth maybe 5 months ago and since then I own all their discs and dvd's and they've quickly become my favourite band. Howvwer, that being said they are not the most "popular" therefore I don't hear them being talked about much. Therefore, I ask this stupid...

    Orchid vs. MAYH Update!

    Thanks for the replies friends. If what you say is true, which I'm sure it is, then with time MAYH will hit me like a brick, and I'm really excited to start loving it. I still remember the drive when Godhead's Lament and the Still Life CD stole my heart and brain. driz

    Orchid vs. MAYH Update!

    Hey guys and gals, About a month ago I asked whether I should get Orchid or MAYH first. I'm a new Opeth fan and I was gonna get both eventually, but i like to get into discs one at a time. Anyways, the majority of you recommended MAYH...alot of you said it wasn't even a difficult decision...

    Orchid vs. MAYH??

    Will do gatedropper, I should probably receive them within a week from amazon.com. Another question though: What exactly is "progressive" metal? Is it the shift from soft to hard to soft ect...? Is it long songs? Again, Opeth is a new band for me unlike anything I've listened to before, so...

    Orchid vs. MAYH??

    Orchid vs. MAYH??

    Thanks Seth, I guess it is only a matter of time til I get both. Now, that being said, I do gravitate towards the more melodic, subtle, and emotive aspects of Opeth. Don't get me wrong, I love the heavy shit too, but that's just what I like more. Anyways, anyone else? driz

    Orchid vs. MAYH??

    Hey all, as mentioned I'm a relatively new Opeth fan. I have the dvd, damnation,deliverence,still life, and blackwater park. It's only a matter of time until I have them all. I just ordered Morningrise and I wanted to order one of Orchid or MAYH. Which is a better album and why? Which is...

    Death Vocals?

    I don't think it has anything to do with grace. More to do with what the human voice is able to do. I know for a fact that Mike has a very capable voice, but sometimes the death vocals sound a little too "satanic" to be fully real....but I'm just trying to verify.

    Death Vocals?

    I do own Lamentations...but just because it's live doesn't mean it can't be computer generated. So who knows for sure? Is it fully real, partly real or fully fake?

    Death Vocals?

    Hey, I'm a pretty new Opeth fan and I couldn't be happier with them. But what's the story with the "death vocals"? How much is real and how much is computer generated? Also, Aaron from My Dying Bride does some very cool shit with his voice in case you havn't heard. He sounds like he's...

    Sorskogen - Mordet I Grottan

    "Illnath", finally a real music fan on this site. I'd love to hear Thom Yorke and the boys do a cover of something from Damnation.

    Sorskogen - Mordet I Grottan

    Damnation is what started my love affair with Opeth. It's one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. It rivals even Radiohead in terms of mood and emotion. The only bad thing about the album is that sadly, Akerfeldt said it's exclusive and they'll be no more like it.
