Opeth (Official Thread)

Been spinning Black Water Park a lot. Still probably my favorite Opeth album. Been listening to Mikael Åkerfeldt's other projects. Storm Corrosion is pretty good. It's him and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree.

Thursday the tickets for the Melbourne show are out, keen as to purchase one.

I'm going to see them in April in NYC and if the venue they are supposed to play in NJ near me is open and has all the damage fixed from the storm that hit us back in October I'll see them then as well.

I picked up "Watershed" and must say after the initial play I am really impressed. I am not a big fan of growl but there is very little on this album. I caught a glimpse of the band at the High Voltage festival 2010 and was impressed.

That's my favorite Opeth album, I truly wish Akerfeldt would sing normally, he's got a great voice for straight up hard rock or heavy metal.

 

[Riff Raff]

He does sing cleanly right through Heritage album. I hope he does a nice mix on the next album. I would rather it not be one dominating over the other style, variety is why I like this band.

LG i agree he does have a magnificent clean voice.I also like death metal and he does superb growls aswell.His early works with bloodbath are amazing(real old school death metal)
Im a bit of a diverse head and can listen to anything-even tinie tempah(my sisters fav)

 

[Riff Raff]

Still Life will always be my favourite, that has the death/black vocals but he does plenty of clean on that as well. The music itself is perfect.

 

[Riff Raff]

Mikael said in a magazine there may be a slight return to the Death/Black Metal elements in the music. I hope theres a good mix.
