You wouldn't think that a Death Metal Solo can make a grown-ass man cry, right? Well you're wrong. The last solo at the end gives me the goose pops every time I listen to it.

[@guillotheworstnightmare1863]

who da fuck you're think talking to kid? What are you, stupid? Was a fucking joke but I know now that you're think you're funny.... Are you a clown? (and watch your language about my daghter if you wanna play the fucking funny clown and comment what I said, beware kid).

***** supongo por tu nombre que hablas español, entendí mal, disculpame tu a mi, que entendí la cuestión como burla... Y pues sí, Alejandro, mi hija es una death metalera de doce, (casi 13) años y su papá (YO )le ha puesto mucha música -pues soy escritor y músico- pero está tan obesionada con bloodbath tanto como yo. De hecho es su "canción favorita porque el final es tierno"... Imagínate. Es una bendición realmente. Me disculpo nuevamente por malinterpretar tu comentario, cuando tu intención era buena.

[@nonametogive4367]

they're probably the best band of Sweden imo, they just unable to compose a shit track it's impressive, and can manifest such a malevolent aura and sometimes solo with melancoly like this track, even the lyrics are so well written, death poetry.

[@MrMike0113]

The outro is simply incredible. It's so refreshing to hear death metal that is driven by an emotion other than anger.

[@JamesVanCleaf]

sounds line mourning

[@themetalalmanach]

there was a post on the Bandbond app, looking for the best outro a couple of months ago.This one was suggested. I am unhealthily obsessed trying to find out where the outgo actually starts. It got me here. To your post from 11 years ago....

[@Metalhead_Edd]

the reason why bloodbath is such a orgasmic death metal band in my opinion is the drummer doesnt go off doing blast beats for every second of the song. (also the shnazy vocals, guitar riffs etc.)

[@Zecapaugordinho1999]

So my brother, How are you 15 years after, still Alive?

One of the best dm songs ever written... pure epicness

[@FurnaceFuneral84]

[@different2261]

go check Opeth then.

[@FurnaceFuneral84]

Pier-Andrea Bascetto no shit, dummy. why do you think bloodbath is so popular. katatonia, edge of sanity, opeth, witchery. stop talking to us like we are children.

[@different2261]

Ok kid, so, first I don't think "bloodbath is so popular" at all. Then explain the fucking common point betwin betwin these band and bloodbath ? Secondly, I was suggesting opeth because Akerfelt and Axenrot worked in Bloodbath (and no, Witchery and Katatonia arn't DM at all)(so, mentioning other bands are out of point here). So, when this guys said best "DEATH METAL" songs ever written, I can do nothing except telling him Akerfeldt created songs with a WAAYYYYY better writting skill... so I was speaking to Samual, not you kid.

[@FurnaceFuneral84]

Pier-Andrea Bascetto the common point between them is because all these bands have members on bloodbath. hence, why bloodbath is so popular. And just for future reference, calling someone "kid" doesn't work when said kid is actually older than you! funny guy

[@cluster3594]

Can't get tired of that guitar solo

[@gråsscandy77]

Man literally goosebumps!

[@JamesVanCleaf]

was stuck in my head yesterday morning after not hearing this track in a few years, glad I figured out where it came from

[@shanemccormick5347]

The guitar/drums in this band have always been amazing. No crazy intricate stuff, just pure raw playing with actual emotion behind the instruments. It separates Bloodbath from alot of other DM bands.

[@sjn_]

I made a friend who is not into metal listen to this song, he wasn't ready to listen at all cause of how this song starts off but he said he liked the part from solo to the outro. Just imagine a death metal song starting off like that and ending like a movie lol

[@JamesVanCleaf]

@@sjn_ the thing about extreme metal is that it's got this weird social filter thing going on. if you can find harmony in the dissonance, there's worlds of beauty to be found

[@mactonight79]

this song has been breaking necks around the world since 2008

Mikael seriously has THE best death metal vocals ever. Like, it's not even an opinion, simply fact. I have never heard a guy have such a deep, powerful growl, and have such control over it. Amazing.

[@SelflessResurrection]

i love how you can still hear the Opeth spirit in these Bloodbath songs

[@Fr0mundaCheeZe]

God damn, Mikael Akerfeldt literally has the best, crisp growls in all of Death Metal. All time favorite band. \m/ >_< \m/

[@divine0enigma]

Too bad he's sworn against using them anymore.

[@n_n_n_n_n_n]

divine0enigma He started fucking up his voice the last few years, so he had to change his technique when screaming to prevent doing permanent damage to his singing voice. So unfortunately, he doesn't sound all that great when doing this style of vocals anymore, which I would assume is part of the reason for not writing songs that include them.

[@Nana-x3y9x]

nnnnnnnnnnnn he actually has improved his growls in this last opeth tour i guess he needed a break from it

[@Ruffnek310]

and he has to go German prog choir
