ghost reveries, still great, i love al ltheir stuff, until watershed was released i felt like a noob though, maybe i still am, but ive loved them since i first heard them
2006, i think. i mainly listened to jazz and a little bit of rock but never into metal or extreme metal. anyways, i bought still life from the store because i thought the cover was cool and some of my friends were telling me they were good (they had acoustic guitar phrases.) I think the first track i heard was benighted, and i loved it, although i didnt really enjoy any of the heavier parts or the growling until a while later, and now theyve grown on me (even though my favourite tracks are the soft ones.)
although im still not a big fan of the more extreme varieties of metal i think i should credit opeth for opening my eyes to that sort of genre. to this day benighted is still one of my favourite songs to play/listen to.
