Is Opeth they only metal group 4 u?

[Albatros]

Well its is for me! I'm not into metal and never was. Opeth is on top of the list and thats because they are beyond metal. The only thing that tags them as a metal band is the brutality of their sound.

I was wondering if other people here feel the same way or they are just metalheads.

 

[i aint play this]

lol shit thread...well, i actually like many, many, many other metal bands. but i also like many, many non-metal bands.

None of the above.

 

[biggsy]

yeah really, to quote NFU 'id rather gargle camels cum than admit im a metalhead'. but i still love lots of metal. just i love lots of non metal too. i dont think therell be many people round here that are the same as you.

 

[winters epilogue]

I love metal, certainly, but would not call myself a "metalhead". Aside from the fact that I refuse to carry any type of elite ego with being a fan of the genre and its sub-genres, I listen to a wide variety of other types of music.

Opeth isn't some avant-garde "beyond metal" band to me, they're just some dudes who happen to love 70s prog as much as they do metal, and mix em together.

I love metal and I love plenty of other types of music, but I am not ashamed to identify myself with any of it! I am who I am, and I like what I like, metal or otherwise!

I know what you mean. Opeth is the about the only "death metal" band I listen to. Other metal I like is Ulver, Primordial, Extol etc. I would not ascociate with any "metal" culture. I just like brutality when it seems to have a purpose.

Well said. That's pretty much all I have to say here.

'id rather gargle camels cum than admit im a metalhead'.

I never knew there was such shame in being a metalhead.

 

[Alcapoth]

^ Well, to me anyway, metal is generally pretty stupid save for a few bands actually doing something cool. Even then, those are the bands that generally sometimes don't even feel like metal at times - Opeth, Arcturus and Ulver come to mind.

 

[King Richard]

I listen to good music.

no

and opeth are not beyond metal. They aren't the first band ever to do the heavy/soft - acoustic/metal riffs schtick, though they do do it rather well.

I hope he wasn't serious. Oh, and why camel?

 

[DarkGift]

I think i would consider myself a metalhead, although I listen to non-metal music too.

Opeth, Nile and Dimmu Borgir is the "main" metal bands i listen to, but i also like Shape of Despair, The 3rd and the Mortal and Elend

 

[Lethal01]

Let's see. Long Hair - no. Black Hair - no. Black Clothes - no. Tatoos - no. Likes Metal - a lot. Likes Celine Dion - actually no, but you get the point

 

[hibernal_dream]

no

Yep. And yeah, I simply listen to good music whatever the classification, although for me metal bands just so happen to fall within the concept of good music much more often than non-metal bands.

Interchanges from brutal to soft isn't the only thing that makes them special, It's just the thing that is noticeable by everyone. Their music has the benefit of being unpredictable, and impossible to stick a tag on. They sound Metal but they are beyond! For example Lopez sounds too fucking jazzy and interesting, plays drums beyond the madness of "ultimate speed". Many guitar solos have a Bluesy feeling... etc. Its useless to tag them, they are OPETH so unique! No other metal band does it for me! And I love AL of their material.
