    Opeth vs Esoteric

    Actually I'm from California. But I moved to Montreal August '05 to go to university here.

    Anathema

    One band where I like their whole discography (although I do have to admit I haven't heard A Natural Disaster). Personal favorites being Crestfallen EP, Silent Enigma and Alt4. But they really have such strong song writing. On Judgement, Danny's vocals were a bit shaky (hence that being one of...

    Opeth vs Esoteric

    Hm. Difficult to compare the two. Each instills audial experiences that are pretty uncomparable. I think Esoteric's music is considerably more subversive emotionally. Listening to them stirs (in me) really primal feelings of fear, discomfort, isolation, destruction. It's like falling into an...

    Celtic f'in Frost

    Holy shit. I saw them play last night and it rates as one of the best shows I've ever witnessed. The atmosphere was so dark and heavy....the most evil of evil BM bands couldn't conjure that up. The setlist was great. They played a lot of the classics: Procreation of the Wicked, Into the...

    Opeth Breakout

    I would say MAYH because that (I feel) is quintessentially Opeth and you can hear both where they were and where they would be going on that album. As far as them 'breaking out' it was BWP that did it. The first album they had a major tour with and started getting a really big following.

    Mike live in Gigantour Chatroom Today!

    So he could tell you, like he told the 20 other people who asked when they were playing in 'X' town, that they really have NO control over booking and where they are going to play on a tour. And yes, that's ridiculous to say they are hanging out with AE only because of Angela...show some...

    Opeth on Criminal Minds

    That was a rerun because that episode aired earlier this summer. There was a thread made about it actually. Anyway, when I heard it, I was pleasantly surprised.

    For those who went to the oakland show...

    Sqeak! :D Of course you were :p ....Can't wait to see the pics! And photomistress.com rocks! It's gotten so big! I wish I could have been at the show...the Coliseum is just a couple of Bart stops from my old place and it was my bday so it would have been great to see Megadeth and Opeth...but...

    For those who went to the oakland show...

    San Diego: I would have to believe that it was time constraints (or some behind the scenes b.s.) that shortened their set. I've seen them on practically every NA tour since Milwaukee Metalfest and considering the sheer amount of touring these guys do, being tired (which was probably only...

    Spam - A peek into the future

    Ok, maybe it's not ALL opethforum people but the fact of the matter is, opethfourm was started as a place where people of this forum could go to have their off-off-topic 7 page threads.

    the state of american metal

    It's Noctuary (from L.A.), not Nocturnus (FL, if that's who you were referring to), and they are still very much active. But I will have to beg to differ regarding your opinion on whether or not the others are 'flag-bearers' of sorts. A couple of them, yes, haven't been very groundbreaking...

    Spam - A peek into the future

    Thank you. For a while there I was starting to wonder if you even noticed it. It should just be taken back to opethforum.net....isn't that why they started it in the first place?
