You pretty much summed up what Opeth are as a band.

It’s even in the Yen/Yang logo for Opeth. From the O itself, to the organic flowing foliage and the spiked harsh lettering. I would only say that they don’t transition from heavy to emotion, since heavy is an emotion itself. They transition from brutal, evil, harsh and sporadic, to pillowy earthen ethereal winding offshoots. I think Dirge For November is one of their finest songs to showcase that transition. It has an almost ambient romantic autumnal section, that is slashed open by one of the most demonic sounding tunes they’ve ever made. Opeth is one of a kind for sure

@@mellowtron214 Good catch, I noticed the Yen/Yang logo when I finally saw them live in CPH for some reason haha. Maybe bcoz I had a huge O in my face :D

Meshuggah is god

He's got a great bluesy vibe. Wish he'd solo more often nowadays.

Peter Lindgren’s solos were really great too, idk why Mikael says Peter was not creative when he actually wrote some really good solos in Deliverance & Damnation.

Mikael has a very classic prog rock style of soloing. Reminds me of Andy lattimer. His greatest attribute is the notes he chooses to fill his solos with. He seems to pick the notes perfectly for each one. Akesson is a phenomenal soloist. He’s got a very classic metal shred style. You can tell he listened to schenker and metal when he started playing. I’m not a huge fan of his watershed solos but he really has became a phenomenal player with recent prog opeth releases. He adopted this wonderful jazzy fusion style mixed with some metal attitude that really works well. They’re both great. Akesson is a much better guitar player than lingren ever was too.

zero tolerance he does not write Frederik’s solos

@@nicolausteslaus If you watch the mini documentary; "The making of Deliverance and Damnation" he says something in the line of: "I write all the songs, the basic stuff, but if they want to change something I want to hear what they have to say." It is also very prominent that he doesn't write all the solos

I have no idea how to read this comment

@@DeJayHank From left to right

Let´s just appreciate it buddy! ;)

Same way I feel about Ghost. It has me left me knowing I could never make music that's any better. Coincidentally, Fredrik plays guitars on Ghosts new record, Impera. It's amazing work.

I think he was talking about the tech as in the equipment

@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz Yep, he's talking about getting his songwriting ideas across as easily as possible and not fucking around with tech. It's funny how This guy got 90 upvotes from people and none of them understood what he was saying.

@@Deathshuck i understood lol

He is so f***in humble 😃 with all his talent 🎸

@@Deathshuck bro the intention was to crack a joke, thats why he got likes !!

Haha very nice

When I was 7 my dad would blast deftones

@@michaeldeel1592 oh nice

Weakness oh how true it is

Chris Garr This album has no genius moments IMO, even thought it's still pretty good.

EricMetalhead are you sure? i think the songs hex omega and hessian peel have a powerfull riffs

Claudio Alba Not genius though

EricMetalhead The Lotus Eater, Hex Omega and Heir Apparent are fantastic songs. I'd go as far as to say I prefer this album to Ghost Reveries.

It's very difficult choose one album! x)

do you know the song pls ?

@@Liloulalalala Burden (original version, they cut it for the single for some unknown reason)

@praw thanks a lot

Because most Lord of the rings characters are from Scandinavian countries. Opeth is a Swedish band which is a Scandinavian country and hence the resemblance.
