I was blasting the generic metal on the XM station in my truck while blasting down the highway. Then they played Heir Apparent as it was new at the time. Later I heard Lotus Eater. I said to myself, Wow, who makes this kind of music? This is freakin great! I'll buy a cd if I like 2 songs from it, so I bought Watershed. Put it in my cd player and the first song Coil, came on. Not at all a metal song, but a hauntingly beautiful song to start the album. In the middle of that song, I knew that there was a lot more to Opeth then just Heavy Metal. The rest of the cd was awesome. So I quickly bought the back catalog. Great stuff. I believe it was rainy and foggy when I listened to most of their stuff for the first time. So that kind of weather is when I like Opeth best. Boring story, oh well.
