Finnish bands using Opeth words

[@=NoBigDeal=@]

What the hell is this?
There is a growing tendency among finnish top bands to recycle Opethian words. First Amorphis released album "Silent Waters", then was time for Nightwish to release the single "Amaranth".
And what is to come next? I'll tell you. The upcoming Rasmus album is titled no more or less than "Black Roses".

I kinda thought it was even funnier when Soilwork tried to get past 3rd grade english and had two Katatonia titles from the same album

Ha ha ha! "Opeth words"! Kind of like how Opeth used "Comus Words"?

 

[ingenkommentar]

Yeah, and how Comus used something like "English words" omg1!

Yet their lyrics suck in comparison to Opeth's

btw. Using Opeth words myself in English class I improved my grade a lot

 

[antipunx13]

Opeth words = thesaurus lbh

 

[Zed Leppelin]

Opeth words? You mean english? -.-

 

[worldwide_suicide]

iirc english is based on opeth's lyrics.

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

Some Opeth words: achromatic, archway, orchard, 'neath, turnstyle, parlour, semblance, crestfallen, we're, bereavement, lamentations, heritance, embrace.

Any others?

"Instruments of Death" is a fav for Opeth in GR and BWP - that's totally ripped of the "IN the court of the Crimson King" album by King Crimson

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Well they aren't that unique and completely Opeth-related words or expressions.

 

[soundave]

Flocking hounds are an Opethian phenomenon.

 

[Mr. Bland]

lol at "Opeth words"

Yeah, it's called English and authors/musicians/poets copy each other all the time.

 

[Jester-Race]

Congratulations, after reading this thread I have lost all of my IQ points. Fuck.

I used those words together on a school project, love it!!

I will next start a band and call it Eating Lotuses and my first album will be called My Heart is made of Porcelain.

I cant believe the first track on Watershed is called Coil btw, soooooo Lacuna Coilish of them, how they dare.

 

[vinegarstroke]

Don't a band called Coil have a track called Windowpane?

I do like Opeth's use of words, I've been tempted to nick them myself in songs. Most Opethy sounding sentences I've used are like "terminally poisoned parasite" and "Scaled the face of the clock tower to hinder her progress, the lunar damsel."

Meh.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

Deadly badgers.

Something that needs to be used more.

 

[vinegarstroke]

That is very true, Opeth needs more songs about badgers... though "I hear the baying of the badgers" doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well.

My band is called Sick Liasons.

Ok not true, but I almost wish it were
