Originally posted by Hearse I think Opeth is a perfect band name. Actually its the best I know. Simple, neutral, single catchy word which even describes their music well, perfect.
in fact i was just adding to the general hilarious bash-ness: i don't feel anything at all about the name 'opeth' itself: it surely is very less funny than dimmu borgir as far as simple sounds go.
however, i still don't get how is it that such a name might describe the band's music... i mean... the only thing i can come up with about 'opeth' is a vague resemblance to awe pet. perhaps a very large dog?
Well, i love Opeth too, i like their music. So don't bash them
And i much hate it when some greek friends of mine call them Pipeth p) or when the guy at the music store doesn't get their name.
