opeths next album

[Opethian666]

Yeah but I think what he meant is an entire song of heaviness, no/few mellow parts, with only clean vocals. It would be interesting to see if they could make that work.

 

[Necromantic-Hiko]

i think they could. like i said, revire/harlequin forest was the closest theyve done (if that is kinda what youre talking about, as its quite a bit hevaier heavier IMO than a fair jugement). but then again, those growl place in harlequin just aded so much to the song.

 

[Opethian666]

I think they should add a violin in some of their songs to add some doom influence to certain parts.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

^^^ So kinda like old My Dying Bride, then?

 

[cuntface]

a fairJ wasnt realy a heavy song i mean like ^ ether an all heavy song with no clean guitar with all clean singing (katatonia)but not to sound like them, or the normal heavy, soft, heavy structure but with no death vocs

 

[Opethian666]

^^^ So kinda like old My Dying Bride, then?

Exactly, it can set such a cool atmosphere when not overused and used at just the right time.

 

[cuntface]

yeahhh^ but i would like it to have like catchy bits like the clean singing on heavy songs still. or like katatonia catchy

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Well, I love strings, so any strings would be awesome for me. I'd love to see them use a whole string section!

 

[cuntface]

no strings would make it ether cheesey or gay like apocaliptica or how ever u spell it or itll be doomy and thats not opeth...... but then i dont know it could be good i love doom ha

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

What?!?! No way man, strings are the greatest tool in existance to create lush soundscapes and beautiful atmospheres. If they're employed properly and professionally, that is...

 

[cuntface]

i dont know, they can be good but they can also be totaly gay

 

[Kenneth R.]

"the pink violin"

 

[cuntface]

good...uh ....one

 

[:Wreath:]

Then again, show me an Opeth song that is 100% heavy... Oh wait, Into the Frost of Winter but I guess nothing more... And if Mike recorded only clean vocals over heavy riffs most people would still moan it's not heavy...

But... It could be interesting

 

[martyrs_price]

That brings to mind the talking vocals on "Ghost of Perdition". You know,
"Devil cracked the earthly..", and I really liked that type of thing. Maybe we might see some more of that.

 

[Lietuvis]

The only things I would like for the next album:

-Keep the keyboards
-Maybe a concept?
-Ditch RR and switch to Relapse Records :Spin:
-Have plenty of contribution from Steve Wilson
-Keep writing LONG songs

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

-Ditch RR and switch to Relapse Records :Spin:

Why? Seriously, what's everyones beef with RR? What have they done so far that's so wrong?

 

[affinityband]

RECORD LABEL DOESNT HAVE AN OUTCOME ON THE FINAL PRODUCT. ESPECIALLY WITH OPETH. I TRUST THAT.

 

[Tumn]

Gay videos and song edits are about the only thing, other than that, nothing.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

^^^ I suppose, but it figures that, as bands get bigger, they're kinda obliged to do videos. And the video wasn't that gay. For a gay music video, all you need is this:

Gene Simmons - 'Firestarter'
