I am new to this thread and I dont know if this topic has already been posted, however i would like to know which is the first opeth song you heard and in what year. Mine was "the funeral portrait" in 2001

fleshhead said:"Nectar". It was early in my Black Metal exploration days. Granted, it was on the extremely awesome Blackend Vol 2 sampler, and, while a decent track, there were a *lot* of other bands with *great* tracks that jumped out on that sampler that got the nod (e.g., Satyricon, Ancient, Hecate Enthroned, Abigor). Eventually I picked up Orchid, and "In Mist..." got me hooked from the get-go.
