Opeth - Dirge For November (LIVE)

[@MurphyMonster]

Maybe the most overlooked track on Blackwater Park, but certainly one of the best Akerfeldt ever wrote. The epitome of melancholy. Poe only wished he were alive to hear something this depressing.

[@apetrenko_ai]

How is that an overlooked track?

[@Thothings]

Fun fact: the first HEAVY (not the clean intro) section until the vocals come in was written by Peter (the first two riffs at least, possibly not the leads).

[@trekkspellbossen482]

Was this overlooked?? I always thought ir was one of the best, and most of the others i have heard talk about it as well

[@bakarenibsheut12]

Whether or not it's overlooked, it's certainly one of the most critically panned. I love it to pieces though.

[@campe_0p525]

I believe the word you are looking for is 'brutiful' :)

You sir.. you are GENIUS! This is my favourite word now! :D

[@SordidDawn]

Opeth is the only metal band I've ever seen who can pull off not having a mosh pit. Everyone in the audience just stand in awestruck silence, admiring the majesty before them.

[@flakedwheelie]

I wish they were, instead they're ruining the softer parts by clapping like mad.

[@KM-je6bf]

@Jeff Dittburner I saw this comment and the first thing I thought of was Yob.

[@daario4278]

@Brainkrieg it's prog metal

[@lasseiversen1815]

Same thing with Dream Theater. :)

[@footballhejter2570]

I would say it's probably because their concerts now are at least in half a rock songs. They stopped playing metal music especially death metal around in 2008. These 2-3 songs for the whole concert don't change much, it's not the same, it's not a metal band anymore. I guess at least the money is right, but they should change band name ;)

[@solidflow86]

sometimes i'm sad listening to Opeth and then someone comes and makes me laugh and ruins everything, and it takes a while to recover my precious sadness

[@jackwillows7284]

I get an eargasm every time i hear the switch at the end from distortion to clean. Its so majestically done. One of the most wild switches in tone but it just works so sooo so well 😫

[@gat1gigs782]

dude thier bassist is such a beast

[@GilCloud]

Best outro in metal history.

[@crystalskylight9327]

Gil Novello so fucking beautiful and depressing. Words can't even describe how the outro makes me feel.

My brother passed away on November 2015 and this song always reminds me of him, we used to listen to opeth together all the time, this was our favourite band, I had this on my mind all day long, I miss him a lot

[@StackLikesAtari]

This song is the epitome of seasonal depression, and I’m here for it. Fall of 2022 🍁🤘🏼

[@sircosm]

This is the first Opeth song I tried to learn on the guitar some 15 yrs back ... the intro, outro and everything in between is just beautiful... couldn't help crying after listening to it after so long.

[@lotuseater90]

That bass, that brutal, that clean... So beautiful.

[@minasboum6523]

Blackwater Park really is the pinnacle of metal, it took me some time to realise this

[@hamishcounsell5579]

yes it took me nearly 5 playthroughs to go holy fuck this is amazing. I find prog metal is extremely difficult to get into at first then it just turns into an actual addiction

[@ozzyogkush]

I love the dead silence during that outro riff. Edge of their seats lol.

[@dukeahola]

6:00 That outro leaves me in chaotic feelings every single time I listen to this song :'S

[@RanulfoKnox]

This is one of those songs that I cant stop repeating over and over, and cant get tired of it. beautiful and powerful, gives me the chills! thanks Opeth for this

[@paake3134]

The fact that live version sounds so good blows me away, only Opeth

[@creativesoundmusic]

Mendez is so awesome! Hardly moves throughout the whole song yet has so much stage presence. And plays incredibly well.

[@νουνου-μ9μ]

Despite the growls this songs still manages to be one of the saddest opeth songs. Hauntingly beautiful

[@josueignaciomm]

Despite? It is in part, because of the growls it reaches such a high emotional level

[@joan3338]

I like to imagine that the growls come from a soul drenched in pain, sorrow and agony.

[@flipskaternine11]

This has always been, and will always be my favorite Opeth song. I've never been lucky enough to hear them play it live, but this version is pretty excellent!

[@YukonHexsun]

God damn... I should never, EVER have let that opportunity to see them perform with In Flames pass by. Next time I see they're touring, my ass is there.

[@BenYourFace]

[@vik8596]

This kind of thing is what Opeth is missing these days. The composition style that allowed for masterpieces like this. I don’t care that they don’t growl anymore. They’ve proven they can still write great things without growling (see: damnation). I’m sad we’ll probably never hear amazing songs like this in the future

[@vik8596]

@Cansu ÜNLÜ I would be EATING UP new Opeth if it was more similar to songs like A Fair Judgement

[@sirdo946]

@@cansuunlu998 Tbf they might be in a better place mentally than back then. So it's only fair for them to write what they feel (though i agree the best stuff was back then and way darker lol)

[@footballhejter2570]

@@sirdo946 Mentaly ? All metal bands needs have mental problem because they play metal instead of rock and change style, sounds like different band ?

[@AlexisG-no6nu]

Without meaning to use the term lightly, it is a musical masterpiece. Mendez outdoes his performance for the studio recordings with stunning jazzy improvisation. Ackerfeld is great though imo doesnt come across quite as melancholic as in the studio version. Outstanding live rendering of a song.

[@Meshuggapeth]

alexis georgiades Opeth isn’t an improv band at all. Mendez and the boys use the same flourishes across many live performances to add appeal. I agree though that they are fantastic live

[@NecrobutcherMM]

[@newwavenewwave1035]

Opeth, the ultimate outro boss. THis one ; deliverance ; Harlequin Forest ; Burden! Other times it doesn"t really sound like an outro, but the climax is still in the end like in Demon of the Fall. And I forgot tons of good examples...

When I listen to an Opeth live performance, I'm much more impressed by the fact that they are so incredible that many times during acoustic interludes or just when the music quiets down you can hear a fucking pin drop in a crowd of thousands of rowdy metal heads........it actually gives me chills, I can only imagine what it's like for the band to know that their audience is hanging on every note, That silence (at most live performances of Opeth, not all obviously) is simply amazing.

[@everson_vinicius]

The clapping is incredibly fucking annoying. Zero reason to do it. You’re not helping the band keep time. You’re definitely not adding to the song. All you’re doing is messing with the tempo and the atmosphere. People wanna hear the melody not clapping during an awesome finger picked section. Only inconsiderate dicks clap during a concert. Clap after the song to show your appreciation. Stay silent during the quiet parts.
