Dear Opeth Forumites, I'm currently enrolled at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. In order to graduate, I need to write a B.A. thesis, due in mid-May 2008. I've chosen death metal as a final topic. The bulk of my research will be interview-based. I need to assemble a pool of...

I'm still pretty far off the mark... Roughly 90 participants away from where I need to be. :-P

(Bump) Thanks to those who have responded, and to those who (I hope) will in the future! :kickass:

Do send me a private message, please!

I'm not new to UM by any means. I've been a lurker here for quite a while. I'm a junior in college, and I'm majoring in music history/literature. I've decided to do my graduating thesis on a specific topic in the death metal "subculture." My thesis advisor accepted the topic with open arms...

Franz fucking Liszt. :rock:

I, for one, would love to hear Symphony X play with an orchestra. There's something about fifty thousand violins playing in tandem that a keyboardist just can't convey, no matter how talented s/he is. Michael Kamen was a genius.

One of the main riffs to "Damnation Game" is taken from a Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach piece titled "Solfeggietto." It's in C minor. :) Find the sheet music in .pdf format here.

Whatever you do, do not waste your time or money on "technical exercises" such as Hanon, Czerny, Pischna, or the... dubious Liszt exercises. email me about it if you'd like more advice.

True. Chords are just combinations of notes sounding together "in harmony." When these chords change from one to the next, a chord progression takes place. Some chord progressions sound smooth, some don't. Opeth uses REALLY wierd chords. An open E string wouldn't really be a "chord in a...

Of course you can flat a fourth... it'd become diminished (opposite of augmented, when you sharp the fourth), since the fourth is a perfect interval. I haven't noticed any of these "theory battle" threads. Hmm... Maybe it's just me? Though I do understand what you're saying. Maybe we...

Pardon me, but is there a Slipknot song where I can hear this guitarist "shredding?"

I've made love whilst listening to Opeth. It's nothing special... Just like any other progressive music, it gives me an excuse to not have any rhythm in bed. "I fuck in odd time signatures."

Does that matter? We're not dealing with Bach; we're dealing with a metal band. :) Parallel fifths are everywhere. Edit: Any parallel intervals except for thirds and sixths are forbidden anyway... :D

I think that while Johan DeFarfalla was a technically excellent player, Martin Mendez has more respect for tone and musicality. There's something that just bugs me about Johan's tone. Some will say "Oh itz teh maestering and porducktion" but it's really something to do with his right hand...
