MAYH is more dark and evil then anything in black metal

[Morgour]

its soooooooooooooooooo fucking evil.

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

Erm... really? Most black metal is lamo "i'm more extreme than you!!!" kinda crap.

Mayhem... however, now they ARE scary.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Hell yes! My Arms Your Hearse reeks of evil and darkness, I adore it. The Amen Corner and of course, Demon of the Fall, are especially evil. It remains as my favourite Opeth album, and probably my favourite ever album.

 

[NAD]

I think it is the most frightening Opeth album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

its my second fav after damnation. its evil!?!?! umm i dunno

I listened to it this one time, and everything clicked, and I was really hooked up in the atmosphere and the story of the album. It was great. Everything on the album seemed so much darker, and I still have that everlasting impression of evil whenever I hear it.

 

[graveflower]

Not really.

 

[Kaberonie]

agreed

 

[warsofwinter]

I agree.. April Ethereal was the first song I got into by Opeth... It's fucking evil .... and I think a lot of people will agree that Demon of the fall is a pretty powerful tune on the album and especially live ... or so I hear. I have yet experience Opeth live ..

 

[Yeah]

*snickers* Riiiiigggggggggght...

 

[Innbydelse]

more like death metal

 

[deathbearer]

RIGHT YOU ARE.MAYH is my fave Opeth CD, and their darkest, most painful, evil storyline ever..
I agree there is some lame bm out there as they are all trying to come off as the most evil and extreme..Or "troo"..
Some music does sound pretentious next to Opeth..lol..
MAYH kills..-l-

 

[Super Mahrio]

Hmmm...i never really put Opeth in the "Black Metal" category figuring they were so much better than bands like Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth.... thats just me...
MAYH is a good record...very good record...but evil? hmmm.....

 

[Hondo]

I think it's one of those most evil things that doesn't try really hard to be evil. Or maybe he was, but it doesn't feel like it. But come on, some of the black metal stuff.. those guys were burning churches, their songs were evil and they MEANT it.

 

[flip`]

Evil is good..
Opeth is very good

 

[O'blivion]

no. fred penner.

 

[Slynt]

Doesn't feel evil to me, more like ... haunted.

 

[Alex78]

if I would have to label an Opeth album as "evil" I would say it's Deliverance!

 

[osse87]

if I would have to label an Opeth album as "evil" I would say it's Deliverance!

MAYH is sad. The end of Demon Of The Fall for example.
The riffs in Deliverance are more evil than any in MAYH.

 

[Schism]

You are on the right track, April Ethereal scares more than any other song, but as a whole, I don't think it feels that evil, definitely darker than their other works.

The fact that you think BM ends at Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth explains for itslef that you dont listen to BM really.

Check out......

Darkthrone
Emperor
Gorgoroth
Carpathian Forest
Enslaved (lots of viking too)
Ulver (the early stuff)
Xasthur
Frost

.......to hear some examples of the type of BM that Morgour was comparing to Opeth,in terms of an overall atmosphere of evil.Not nesacerilly(sp) in overall style/genre.
