Am I the only one who never knew....

[synergy]

...that Blackwater Park is named after a 70's German prog band? I always thought that it was just a dark name for the setting of the dark title track. Sorry if this is a well known fact...it just kind of came as a surprise to me.

I found this page with some info about them - http://www.alexgitlin.com/bwp.htm

Really? I actually didnt know that either. Its funny cause I was talkin to a friend of mine in Florida and she says that theres a place called Blackwater Park near where she lives

 

[Ermz]

Well it isn't exactly common knowledge, but you'll still find that alot of the fanbase know it.

 

[Static]

No, you aren't the only one.

 

[JoeVice]

i knew that about the band before i ever even knew how many members there were in the band...its kinda strange too, because its not a very talked about subject...and it was like...THE FIRST thing that i ever heard about the band...and i don't remember where.

Heh, Yeah Donnie, I don't live anywhere near Florida, but up here by where I live there's Blackwater Lake, I wanna go there sometime. I only found out about the place because 2 guys died in a plane crash there, so now it's even darker it would have seemed lol.

I'm not sure, but Orchid is such a cool song. As is 'Solitude', later on in the same album.

He means the Black Sabbath songs 'Orchid' and 'Solitude' off the Masters of Reality album. Great songs.

theres a band called april ethereal as well.

maybe this is one for the faq

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

April Ethereal were named after the Opeth song, not vice versa. Also, their first album was called Advent.
