The growls are almost lost in the mix and are almost indistinguishable from the music. They're almost muted, giving mainstream audiences less of a harsh sound. while on other past albums, they have been just as audible as the clean vocals. They are definately lower in the mix than on other...

I love watershed, but the only problem i have with it are that the growls are very low in the mix... was this intentional? I can't help but feel this was to make it "easier" to digest for mainstream roadrunner records audiences. Of course, when Opeth plays live, all the vocals are at...

what are you hoping to accompish with this mixed CD? Is it for you to enjoy or for someone else to enjoy? I generally don't make comp tapes for myself, but do quite often for other people. Usually catering to their tastes. And often containing surprises or hidden "gems." such a sunshine on...

what's the reason they dropped the death vocals..? I used to try and listen to them before I got into death vocals, but found I couldnt do it... Now that I am into death vocals, mostly because of Opeth, because of great music, I am curious why MDB dropped them. With their live stuff, it...

I want to make a mixed CD...and the only criteria is amazing outros I only have 2 so far that I can think of. I'm hoping you all can come up with suggestions to fill out the gaps... 1.Opeth's - -Deliverance 2.DMB's - - Drive In Drive Out

I remixed the album and put Derelict Herds between Burden and Porcelain Heart. Makes Watershed complete for me.

Anyway... I put Derelict Herds after Burden and before Porcelain Heart... worked out great and sounds awesome... Salud!

With the addition of the song Derelict Herds the Watershed album is complete for me, because I always felt the album was missing something. The problem is, where does Derelict Herds fit in with the rest of the songs, because the album ends best with Hex Omega. I was thinking after Hessian...

What are your favorite songs of Opeth to song (growl) along to? In the car? Wherever! Do you do it? Can you do it? Mine are Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Ghost of Perdition...

While Opeth is my favorite band...I certainly listen to a lot of diverse music. And without getting into a bunch of what I listen to... I was listening to Nine Inch Nails, and the song Ruiner. And I thought, wow, Opeth would do a great cover of this song. It lends itself to an Opeth sound...

They took the stage @ 10PM at the headling gig in Portland OR... Good luck mate and they're worth it to catch any bit anyway! Cheers!

I just want it known, as I am the originator of this thread, that I didnt intend on the direction of this discussion going this way. Every Opeth Album is great and every single song is great. Every time I see them live and they play different songs, this is proven to me. It's almost...

was it a conscious decision to make watershed with less death vocals. it's almost 80% clean vocals, although Heir Apparent is about the heaviest song Opeth has ever done. Or is it just the way it came out for Mike..? I don't think Opeth is headed for mellower territory, because for this...

Can people reply to this thread with the set list from the last Opeth performance? Is that allowed. Just interested in what they're playing on this tour and how much it'll change opening for dream theater and when they're headlining... Thanks in Advance... And here's to trying to reclaim...

Actually, the high pitched scream could be a Death Growl from Mikael. Not too hard to imagine.
