An Anti-Damnation Album.

[Weakness]

Yeah it wouldn't be a good idea. That's what Bloodbath is for.

Exactly. Well said.

lol doesnt sound like a lame idea at all, could be awesome. also damnation was done for the sake of doing it, you can clearly tell they set a limit for themselves to keep it clean and not heavy

 

[Katatonic89]

I think they should make a nose flute-album.

This.

Not at all ! Mike had loads of mellow arrangements so a friend of him (i think one of Katatonia members) gave the idea of doing a mellow album.

 

[affinityband]

hm yeah your right actually. i think it was jonas's idea

 

[the opeth affinity]

I saw this idea in general metal discussion posts, under the thread calling all opeth homos or sth like that. A guy said it would be nice if they did a completely brutal album like what they did with damnation, all clean. It sounded perfect. Think that you get a album of 6-7 songs which are all like Master's apprentices, the leper affinity,wreath, deliverance,karma etc...Would it be cool or not? What do you think?

I say it would be great. I got a name for the album : Obliteration

Was the 'anti-Damnation' album not Deliverance?

Not rly. If AFJ and FAF was replaced with songs that are like the rest, maybe.

 

[N-MAYH]

you're all idiots. deliverance and damnation were originally intended to be released as a two cd album, damnation being only softer songs and deliverance being heavier songs, then mike had a bunch of great ideas that he really wanted to put into deliverance so they decided to scrap that and release them separately, thats why they were released so close together.

 

[Discursion]

"you're all idiot" that's a pretty "idiot" statement.

 

[N-MAYH]

... I wrote "you're all idiots"

 

[grey knight]

I think it's pretty much idiotic to use the word at all.

Btw. I've got it in my msn name currently.

 

[hexwind]

you're all idiots.

as it can be seen, you have no clue about the way to talk to people right?

 

[WindsOvCreation]

I don't think there can ever be a true "Anti-Damnation" album by Opeth, because it wouldn't be who they are. They're not crushingly brutal nonstop 24/7 and that's what makes them one of the best bands of all time. Deliverance is as close as we're going to get as far as I'm concerned.

if I remember correctly, they were originally intended to be released as a double cd, but MFN wanted to have time between them because they didn't think a double CD would be feasible money-wise or promotion-wise. I'm almost positive mikael says this on the d&d documentary, or in the studio diary on the main site.

 

[fizz6207]

actually i remember mike saying it took a lot of persuasion to get the record labels to allow them to release 2 albums so close

the ideas not lame, opeth would easily be able to create sufficient dynamics even given such a limit. saying that its already been done by bloodbath is wrong too, as their style is more reminiscent of classic styles of death metal that have already been done, whereas opeth's heavy stuff definately has its own flavour.

 

[Silhouette_01]

i have to say i think its a pretty lame idea if it were all brutality it would sound more like bloodbath then opeth and obliteration is an even more lame name for an album with this concept i have a theory that most albums that have titles resembling this you know with like killing, or destruction, or whatever usually turn out to be really bad because its like the band is trying to hard to get attention and to be brutal thats my opinion anyways

 

[isolation_years]

i dunno, to me, damnation is kind of the anti-opeth in the way that is is quite different from all their other albums. there's no heavy parts (as i know you all know haha)

a true all growling album would just be death metal though, well probably not, but still i don't think it would be as popular as damnation nor would it be as well done

 

[{-sapob-}]

i think if they did an all growling album, they could cross over into doom.
That would be sweet.
