What is "Profondo Rosso"?

[Domson as TIOBS]

Hey!

My girlfriend bought an Opeth girlie on the Opeth gig in Bochum last Sunday; on the back of the shirt the words "Profondo Rosso" are imprinted. Does somebody know what they mean? Is this Swedish or something? I think I read somewhere that it's a band, but WTF does it have to do with an Opeth shirt then...

Thanks for any helpful answers.

I believe it refers to the Italian horror film "Deep Red" by Dario Argento. ?????????

 

[nokturnal emission]

I think you're right

I've never heard of that film... and I still can't imagine what it has to do with Opeth *confused*

 

[Heliologue]

was it an official girlie or a bootleg?

 

[Black_paragon]

the official ones had it on, I got a 'in the year of our lord 2003' one, which is kind of weird. maybe the dvd will be called 'in the year of our lord' which would be kind of cool

guys, profondo rosso is the film by dario argento, and also the soundtrack title written by the italian band called "goblin".

i saw opeth today in italy, and mikael said thanx also to this band, telling that without them there would'n be any damnation-style album...

So we are to interpret it as a kind of tribute to this band that they wrote the title on the back of their shirt... (?)

 

[opethpainter]

of course.

I have an Opeth shirt that, on the back, says "The Past Through the Air." From where is this lyric/phrase? I've never heard it in one of their songs.

It's the pest through the air and it's either Serenity Painted Death or White Cluster, can't remember atm. SPD I think.

 

[Domson as TIOBS]

Yeah, I also have a long sleeve with "the pest through the air" on it, it's indeed from "Serenity Painted Death".... "must have sensed my coming, the pest through the air, with despise for squalour lashing out at the poor" or sth. similar

Moonlapse Vertigo! Yey, you're right !

 

[pistol_pete]

id never buy an item of clothing if it had printed upon it words i didnt know the meaning of...

 

[Godhead]

on my shirt there's written "look your last upon the sun" where can I find this sentence in your opinion?
thanx

 

[Domson as TIOBS]

Yeah, I also wonder about this strange sentence "look your last upon the sun", I have already seen this shirt at many mailorders but I don't think it appears in any of Opeth's lyrics...

 

[Biddinger]

It's a line from Ivanhoe, or something...

 

[Lakestream]

yes, I think Mikael has a thing for Ivanhoe.. hell, he named his two cats Isaac of York and Maurice de Bracy (if I remember correctly)

Thank you!
