    Pakistani Fans Waiting For Opeth!

    This would probably be a good thread to ask this: My buddy once told me he downloaded some songs by a metal band from somewhere in and around India/Pakistan...he said they used a lot of traditional instruments like Sitars and such...I've never been able to find the band and I'm really...

    Ghost of perdition

    Well, on the Opeth site, most of the band members have listed Lateralus as one of their favourite albums...and Mikael has said he would love to tour with Tool. Now, if we can get Meshuggah in on that tour I could die happy.

    Anyone here have Opeth or any other tatoos?

    If Opeth are destined to become a mainstream band

    People seem to forget that the mainstream itself changes. Everyone bitched when Korn "went mainstream" when in all reality the mainstream "went Korn". Same thing is happening now, the mainstream (and I mean the mainstream of heavy music, not THE MAINSTREAM of music, which has always...

    Thank You, Opeth!

    My buddy got me into Opeth. At first he dropped of a burned CD with a few tracks, but for some reason my brain was thinking Otep, and I hated them and let the CD rot for a while. Then I finally threw it in and relized that it wasn't Otep...after many hours of listening to Demon of the Fall...

    How many of you consider Opeth a doom metal band?

    Extreme progressive pseudo-death/black metal...this is how I try to describe them to people who've never heard of them.
