If you have ever heard OPETH before you know what the hell I'm talking about.
Peter Lingrin's massive riffs.
Lopez's psychotic drumming.
Martin Mendez's rocking Bass.
And Mikeal Akerfeld's GOD-LIKE (and I mean GOD-LIKE) Voice.
Their new album (Ghost Reveries) just came out in Australia and am absolutly stoked.
I just want to know if anyone here loves them or at least have heard of them.
FMA.
LOVE RAZAEL :D
I've heard of em', kinda. My friend listens to them all the time, on his comp.
Love the AVATAR, Zeppelin Rules. (FYI: Fave song from Led ZEP is Achielles last stand)
Opeth are great. Blackwater Park is my favourite album.
I have only the vaguest recollection of who they are and what music they play.
They play progressive melodic death metal.
The only album of their's I like is Damnation, and it follows Ok Go on my playlist, the downbeat tones working as a perfect antidote to the seemingly-cheerful tones of the previous band.
S'great stuff.
I've heard of them!
I wouldn't really say they're progressive, just Melodic Death.Quote:

Razael's Fave album: My arms, Your Hearse.
Fave song: A fair judgment, Deliverence.
Actually, I don't think they've changed that much over the years. I have no idea what you're saying about Damnation and Deliverance though.Quote:

I love Opeth, I've heard every album except Morningrise (but I will!) and loved them. My favorite is Still Life, but they haven't made a *bad* album in my eyes. I really enjoy Ghost Reveries so far.
