    Languages

    I can speak Italian (obviously), English, Latin (what use of Latin?). I can read French, Spanish, a bit of German. I started to study Russian and Japanese, but I have no time, now. ...and some Swedish words, of course!:)

    Something about OPETH and the ladies...

    OPETH is an emotional band. Deep emotions and thoughts elevate men from pure bestiality. OPETH music is not for beasts (yet instinctive). Only beasts would say OPETH is a gay, or feminine, or whatever you want, band.

    What Are Opethians Really Like?

    Hey, citizens of Opet, I enjoy so much the time spent reading all your posts! There's a lot of interesting characters around here! As for me I can say I'm quite introspective, I think a lot but speak so rarely, and never about me or my feelings. I don't trust humanity at all, I hate almost...

    An unknown band

    Hi everyone. Can you help me with my quest? I'm looking for someone who knows a Dutch band called Sad Whisperings! In 1993 they came out with their only album (I think) 'Sensitive to Autumn'. Am I the only one in the world who has their CD? There's definitely NOTHING about them on the...

    Unusual today, usual tomorrow?

    By why they call it nu-metal? Fear Factory made Demanufacture some 6 years ago! That was nu-metal! And a great delusion to me, after their masterpiece 'Soul of a new machine'! Ok, I realize that most of nu-metal fans are teens. Their taste will surely evolve into something better. When you're...

    First Time Hearing Opeth?

    I've already told about my first encounter with Opeth music, but I like to remember that moment, because it was, is and will be a MILESTONE in my life! Raven777, I find your post really emotional, welcome between us! The first time I heard about Opeth was in early '96 (more than 5 years!). I...

    A question, or a bit of research if you like...

    In my heart are: 1. Orchid/Morningrise 3. Blackwater Park 4. MAYH 5. Still Life Orchid is the album I've been listening most in the last 5 years and Morningrise comes in a perfect sequence. I find BWP really innovative, with new strange sounds and riffs. Still life is IMO technically...

    Favourite Opeth Moments

    Every single note, on every single track send shivers down my spine! But I think there's one moment when I almost come to tears! It's the ending of Epilogue... (Till Fjalls, you're RIGHT!);) I love the sudden change in Bleak, from clean vocals to grunt! (Night fall again taking what's left of...

    How long have you been listening to metal?

    The first time I heard metal was 15-6 years ago. It was some song from IM's 'Somewhere in time'. At that time I didn't pay so much attention to music. I admit I was quite amused, but not so impressed, yet. Metal came into my life some years later... and came to stay...

    Opeth evolution

    Every new album comes with a higher degree of technical perfection, I think. But we're talking about emotions, and emotions are at the highest peak, always! Forgive me, I'm Opeth-addicted ;)

    The Arcane Philosophy behind Dilating Pupils and Zero-Gravity Masochistic Plagarism

    Most of the metalheads I know are very nice people, and with many interests. I think that metal needs openmindedness to be understood and appreciated, and not necessarily rage and violence. I chose metal for it means Catharsis to me. I'm into every branch of science (being an engineer) and I...

    How long have you been listening to metal?

    I know everyone here likes, loves, breathes metal.:goggly: Now I ask you: when did you listen to metal for the first time? I've been listening to metal for ten years and my first album was '...and justice for all'. :heh:
