So...The Guys From Opeth Claimed DELIVERANCE Is Heavy...

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

...and so to the people that have heard it...

Is it heavy?

By their standards or by real heavy bands out there?

 

[KielbasaSausage]

yes'm

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

It surely is! Does the fact that one of the songs (Master's Apprentices) has a riff that sounds uncannily like Morbid Angel answer your question?

 

[bleed for me]

yes...it's their heaviest stuff


i'm glad they didn't use blastbeats

 

[Powerslave]

Um, they DID use blastbeats, there are blastbeats in like half the songs.

And, yes, it's their heaviest yet.

 

[jester00]

i love it now fully grown on me.

 

[Katatonic]

[Bleakest Harvest]

[Demonspell]

Parts of Deliverance and Apprentices are among the heaviest material Mikael has written.

You obviously don't know what a blastbeat is, then.

Define 'blastbeats'

 

[Protected Witness]

simultaneous 8th or 16th note (sometimes 32nd on slow tempos) phrases on the snare, kick drums, and usually a cymbal (hi-hats, rides, etc.) make up blast beats.

Examples include pretty much any songs by Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, or Morbid Angel, as well of scores of other Death Metal bands.

There are no blast beats on the new Opeth record. There is alot of continuous 16th note kick work and some 8th note triplets (yee-ahh!), but no blast beats. Martin Lopez is a really good drummer.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Ah right. I had confused the word 'blastbeat' with 'double bass drumming very fast', he he

It's tear your eyeballs out and swallow them, then shit them out into your mouth kinda heavy.

Some brutal stuff, which manages to maintain an overall tone of genuity and emotion. Some stuff reminds me (a little!) of Orchid/Morningrise - some riffs are in the old style.

Expect the unexpected.

And don't ask how I've heard it already (precognition!)

Like in black metal? like immortal?

Blastbeats have that repetitive banging sound to them. It almost sounds out of rhythm.

[MetalManCPA]

It's heavy in the purest of Opethian ways.
