Probably cuz that song has a more traditional death metal style riffs and vocals, and also an amazing acoustic singing section

I saw them live on tv during Lowlands (summer of 2006) and I was swept away, to say the least. asked my bf if he had their music - luckily he did thought he wasn't a hardcore fan but certainly appreciated their music. and now I'm a fan.

i was just going to post the same thing

Interesting, MA was the song that I first liked the death vocals on too. From there they were no problem.

Maybe that's because it manages to be insanely heavy without sounding too complicated and stay pretty straightforward, and has a long-enough acoustic part that it prevents the song from growing tiresome.

For me it was the way the vox went with the geetars, i couldn't have imagined it to sound any better

Heard the name online over and over again, decided to download a song, it was Deliverance, still one of my top 2 Opeth songs (the other one is When)

A friend of mine came up with BlackWater Park and I liked it. so I bought a second album. I'm not totally swept away by Opeth, but I absolutely do like it !!!! At first it reminded me of the first album of The Gathering (dutch band), but they were heavier.

My dear son [Thanks dude!!!] played some songs from BWP and D&D...
And before long I was completely hooked - I've got all cd's now (and more!)

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

I noticed that the band had an inordinately large amount of fanbois per capita on metal webboards.

Got a tip in a Danish metal-forum...and went down in the nearest recordshop and did buy "deliverence".......then I got addicted....

...my.....precioussssss.......OPETH...!!!:zombie:

Heard "The Funeral Portrait" on Music Choice (digital music stations on my cable TV service). Fuckin blew me away.

 

[tongue_fire]

I heard the first (chilled out) half of The Drapery Falls on a free CD from Kerrang and brought the album on the strength of that. I was slightly unprepared for the start of The Leper Affinity!

A friend gave me his copy of My arms your hearse, then I left a comment on the Opeth site and López replied, so then I asked him to recomend me a list of the songs he liked the most. That's it.

 

[Lilith Bloodshed]

I felt inspired by Blackwater Park cover, don't know why, never heard about Opeth before, I saw BP cd and I bought it, summer 2001. They've changed my life.

[Conspiracy Chronicles]

It was in 95 or 96 and some guys I knew had orchid on cd and it blew me away.

A friend in 1995. We were a bunch of friends that were into metal. When one of us found a new band we liked we always played that CD to the others. I actually already posted about it before:
