..cause they've made a deal with the Norwegian Reichkonzerten to play a fucking 8 concerts in Norway! :OMG: My orgasm, your hearse! Especially since I have contacts in at least four of the places, which makes it likely I'll see them play four times in a week lol. This is so wacky, we've...

Hello all, as you may know Opeth performed at the Metalrockfest in Lillehammer, Norway this weekend. I have recorded a few bits and am uploading the clips to youtube. The first clip is "Hessian Peel" live. enjoy :)

With Opeth fandom reaching a feverish height these days, how about pooling articles, reviews etc. from printed magazines into a thread? I believe this may yet be the thread without someone commenting "shit thread" which would be a refreshing change of pace. Yes, yes I know I am literally...

...and could he possibly be singing about in on Watershed? In the LP cover there's this bloody big picture of a man standing in a garden, watching what looks to be a grave, and written faintly on the trees are the words "voff voff" which would be the barking of said, dead dog. So many...

I got an e-mail from The End Records today, confirming the deduction of money for a certain package containing Watershed, Watershed special edition, Watershed vinyl, poster, signed leaflet, bonus CD.... :kickass: And I ordered it late .. so I hope they didn't just deduct the money and that's...

..and I don't mean that all the members were doing their best, but the setlist itself - the choice of tracks, if you will. Due to the thread about bootleg recordings I began to look through my folder of said items, and discovered the most jawdroppingly dropjawingly setlist :OMG: Athens...

Hello friendly Opeth fans and shitheads alike, I was wondering if more people have noticed that there is a sort of dividing line when it comes to the Opethian balladry. For clarification, when I use the term "ballad" I am talking about those songs that are for the most part performed with...

Am I the luckiest guy in the world? Metal rock fest, a festival in Lillehammer, you know, the small town in Norway which held the winter olympics in '94, will be held over two days in August. The lucky part is that a) Half my family lives in Lillehammer so I am there all the time, making it...

Allow me to reveal my coverart. Other suggestions?

Will it happen? When will it happen? Should it happen? When will dates be announced? Will Oslo get a six hour gig, or two sets, one regular and one a complete performance of "My Arms Your Hearse" while Swedish nude models crawl on their knees among the audience with pretzels and beer on their...

It's been a while since Opeth released Blackwater Park, and I am still struggling to come to terms with it. What is it about this album that makes you like it as much (or more) as the other Opeth releases? What is it about this album that I don't get? It took me a long while to dig My Arms Your...

"...smells like the band's best album.." :hypno: http://www.holeinthesky.no/index.php?module=article&id=15&PHPSESSID=cc13aee560be4b3eb976b72f4c075c8d http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=37800

The following list is purely subjective. Feel free to comment, complain, agree or disagree J. 100. MANOWAR: ‘Blood of the Kings’ 99. ENSLAVED: ‘As Fire Swept Clean the Earth’ 98. ENTOMBED: ‘Left Hand Path’ 97. ANTHRAX: ‘Indians’ 96. PANTERA: ‘Shattered’ 95. AKERCOCKE: ‘A Skin...

I am a lucky bastard. Tomorrow will be the second time I see Opeth this year. It's not all rosy though, as I have to go alone. Anyway, they are playing a mixed set. I haven't been here for a while, so could anyone enlighten me to as what this mixed set contains? I will automatically...

Many metalfans have missed this melodic death album, released in 1999. Gardenian's Soulburner is a must-have in every death metal collection for it's powerful production, excellent growling vocals, heavy riffs, catchy melodies, and the effective clean vocals delivered by Erik Hawk. The album...

'Ignored Classics' is a pretentious title, but so am I. A title, I mean. The point of this, and upcoming reviews, is to shed light on albums that might have passed you blissfully by, music that deserves a wider audience (in my opinion, of course). I do understand that many people have *not*...

Time has passed since the last time I saw a thread on this, and in this time I have acquired more Opeth stuff. So what have you got? - Orchid CD (original) - Morningrise CD (with bonus track) - My Arms Your Hearse (with bonus tracks) / original, played to destruction - Still Life - Blackwater...

I spent a LOT of time on 'My Arms Your Hearse' before it became my current favorite. I've spent the least time on 'BWP' simply because I find the album, sorry to say this, boring. The album I've probably listened most to overall is 'Still Life'. It was locked in my CD player for aeons of...

The return of Edge of Sanity is not so much a return of a fabulous death metal band, as Dan Swanö toying in a studio with some friends. This leads to an album which really shouldn’t have been released under the Edge of Sanity name, as the music lies much closer to Dan Swanö’s Moontower-project...

I'm a music teacher, so today I decided we were going to learn about respecting each other's musical tastes. So they had to endure the full length of "The Moor" :). Surprisingly, many of them thought it was pretty cool, though most of them didn't understand why the vocalist was growling. They...
