song that got you into opeth

[JesterOfDeath]

Honestly, i just got up one day and said i'm gonna buy an Opeth album without listening to one song....and here i am with all the albums and shirts and a ton of other shit!

I was searching around listening to samples on amazon.com, when I came across Opeth. I think I was listening to samples of MAYH (all I know is there was at least one piano part in there) I realy loved what I heard til I heard the death vox (which I hated at the time). After a few weeks I went back and Dl'd "The Moor" and I was hooked from then on.

the 2 songs that made me buy Blackwater Park were Harvest and Patterns in the Ivy Blackwater Park verrrrrrrry slowly grew on me though and eventually really got me into the band.

 

[Alex78]

The Moor
took some time, though

 

[BenightedOne]

Harvest

 

[al885]

masters apprentices, the changes from heavy to soft really got me listening

 

[ginkgothian]

Black Rose Immortal

Still the best song I've ever heard....

 

[Celestial-Voyage]

Forests of October is what really got me into Opeth.
Then I downloaded a few more songs, then I bought Orchid and Morningrise.

 

[Kalabalik]

Not really a specific song, but their entire sound and their attitude made me an Opeth fanatic.

 

[Lethe78]

Black Rose Immortal

Still the best song I've ever heard....

That tormented scream from hell near the conclusion of it rules!

 

[Protected Witness]

That would be this song.

I think I'm the first one so far that was hooked by Dirge For November. Honestly, it was like nothing I had ever heard before. I was in a chatroom at around 4 AM, I had gotten back from a night out (it was my birthday) and a really cool metalhead convinced me to download it. I closed my eyes and listened. It scared the shit out of me, and I knew I'd become a fan from then on. I downloaded The Leper Affinity as soon as Dirge ended. I downloaded all of BWP in less than a week.*

Dirge for November, however underrated and hated it may be, is still one of my favorite Opeth songs...the way Mikael does not sing, but mourn sends a chill down my spine.

No other band has hooked me as fast as Opeth. Now, here I am, five months later, holding tickets to the Houston show (actually, they haven't arrived yet) and biting my toenails in anticipation.

*Before you flame me, yes, I bought it at the store too...along with every other Opeth album.

April Ethereal

 

[HaloX]

Bleak

Dont know why I picked that one to DL...I usually pick the 2nd song on a cd to DL, and if it is good then I will by the cd.

The Drapery Falls

 

[squeegee your third eye]

The Moor got me started, Still Life being the first album I got. I liked it, but it wasn't until I got my second album, Deliverance, that I got totally hooked.

 

[DaMenace123]

Forest of October...knew I had to listen to everything they ever did from then on.

 

[deathbearer]

Nectar, Black Rose Immortal and Demon of the Fall..The Century Media Fire Starter sampler got me into Opeth and alot of BM bands..-l-

 

[LambOfGod]

Demon of the Fall was the main one and Forest of October

 

[theXamenXcorner]

The first Opeth song I ever heard was The Drapery Falls, but I would have to say the song that made me a fanatic was Bleak. I think a lot of people underrate Bleak.
