Getting into Opeth was hard for me at first.
A friend of mine was telling me how good this band called Opeth was. He told me it was progressive death metal, which of course instantly turned me off because I know there was growling involved which I hated at the time. In fact, I hated metal in general! I was listening to stuff like Beatles, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and alike.
Well anyhow, I downloaded Blackwater Park. I tried listening to a couple of tracks but I was really turned off by the growling. But then one track caught my attention. Can you guess already? Yep, The Drapery Falls. Thank god for that track. After I got into that track, it all become easier. I listened to it a shitload of times in a row, then got into Harvest and stuff, and then downloaded all of the other albums. And that's how it all began... Nowadays I still do listen to Nirvana (not as much though), Beatles and whatnot but Opeth is currently my favorite band and I don't regret buying all of their albums and the DVD!
