[Lethal01]

before this song he talked about the process of recording deliverance.. on the technical problems in the studio, and how all they have is mikes demos when they enter the studio, and they rehearse like once Then on to the scorpions, and their neglected early stuff. Like their first record which mike thinks should get much more cred.. and this sing os from that album

After the scorp song:
Talking about the risk of making 2 albums at the same time, and the work involved. It was a big risk, but they made it. And they like taking those risks. And one charm with theit music is getting the listener unsecure of what will come next in their music.

Then talk about the change from album 2-3 when half the band got replaced. Natural change with new members. Lopez changed alot by being a more agressive drummer..

 

[Monsterxman]

cool... thanks for translating...

 

[Staffan]

hahahaha skriksång!

 

[Staffan]

Porcupine tree

 

[Monsterxman]

Nick Drake, Porcupine tree... what song is this?

 

[Lethal01]

They have their roots in death metal, and thats where mikes growls comes from. Its a vital part of opeth, and its a reason why their music is so different. Thanks to it they can go from the most agressive death-metal to the most calm instantly.

Musictastes..
He listens to everything good.. not hip-hop and techno and stuff.
Mentioned some girl I didnt get the name of. On that topic mentioned Porcupine Tree and steven, so on to PT

 

[Monsterxman]

Is this the new Porcupine Tree, I never did get chance to get this one... sounds very Opeth like in the background... pretty cool...

 

[Lethal01]

[Staffan]
