I recently had the opportunity to hear a promo of the new Deliverance, and I must say it's incredible. The guys are at the top of their game... Looks like I'm going to be spending a /lot/ of money on 4 Nov between SX and Opeth. *sigh* =)
If you happen to like Opeth as well...
- Thread starter crimsun
- Start date
The Opeth promo has officially leaked as of yesterday, I found it a few minutes ago on Direct Connect
This album is terrible. Im sorry Opeth fans, but this is just $hit IMO. The guitars are plain and boring, the vocals , if you can even call them that, are terrible, and the mix sucks. Other than a lightning fast doublekick drummer, who I like, this bands about as good as a 9 yr old garage band.

Woa. I wouldn't go THAT far. But Opeth is missing that "Thing(R)" that makes Symphony X, Symphony X.
Perhaps that's because Opeth is doing something entirely separate from Symphony X. I love both bands, but for vastly different reasons. They really don't have all that much in common, that much should be obvious from listening to any Opeth and Symphony X album together.

Opeth is my favorite ever hehehe
And
WTF? Opeth has never really been about ligthingfast double bass... in fact of all past releases i can honestly say i don't remember a sing doulbe bass kick... i haven't heard the new one so i dunno.
you listen to Opeth for haunting beauty (at least i do), not for speed or agression.

This is how I see it: loving Opeth fully takes a few to a several listens. I imitate Mikael's voices constantly. Have an open mind, progheads!!
Opeth has far more atmosphere and depth to their music than Symphony X does. Legendary prog. bands like Symphony X or Dream Theater have more technicality and musicianship, but Opeth can probably kick their asses in creativity.
Wow, um, that's pretty harsh. I'm a huge fan of both bands; I think their "spaces" are different. It's like that whole DT vs. SX thread--no one really cares either way; you just have to appreciate both. ;-)
I actually quite like deliverance. Great use of time changes. An dthe drumming is better this time round (...more interesting...)
But I'm waiting to hear what they can do with the acoustic album.
