Opeth - Häxprocess (Audio)

[@r0ckslide375]

God this whole album is fantastic but the drumming here is really something special. Axe is just amazing.

[@titancheat]

That bass at the end though.

[@ssjonupants]

Unpopular opinion, but this was my favorite Opeth album ever, and one of the best I've ever heard period.

[@reducetheatoms]

Check mate, we are even 👊

[@darksinthe]

It is definitely the most unique of all the albums, so it's not surprising it would have that effect on some. It is my second least favorite album TBH, but I still love most of it because this is my favorite band of all time.

[@ssjonupants]

@@darksinthe I get it completely. Everyone looks for something different when it comes to Opeth, and considering they are one of the greatest at giving you different looks, there is so much greatness to offer. The way I look at it, none of their albums are bad. There's just some we like better than others.

[@explosivx43]

@@ssjonupants spot on mate. although I'd say all Opeth albums have similar quality, all 10/10, just depends on mood 🤩

For me, the solo at the end of the song is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

5:00 is one of the greatest moments of opeths discography. What a masterpiece,super underrated.

[@LoganardoDVinci]

My favorite guitar solo ever.

[@bendy44]

I don't get why people feel the need to bash this album, it's great. It's not Blackwater Park, no... but then, Blackwater Park still exists. Listen to that instead, if you prefer it!

[@dalestrom1]

I dig this more right now. This is like halfway between old Opeth and that Italian band Goblin at times... Less metal, but more interesting and classical/ jazz. It suits them.

[@RahulKalvapalle]

It's because a lot of music fans want their favourite bands to make the same album 10 different times. It's ridiculous. I agree, this is a beautiful album. It's totally ok not to like it, but it's straight-up stupid to want everything to sound like their "old stuff." I'd rather Opeth and every other band play what they want to play, what ever music they're into

[@anubis243-x5h]

@@RahulKalvapalle I agree. A lot of people are way too rigid about the "type" of music they'll listen to. If you are willing to go on the journey with a band you like, if they are having fun odds are good you will have fun too.

[@MusicCroc]

Maybe they were really dissapointed that Opeth completely switched to prog rock with their new tracks. Or... they're just youtube commenters.

[@selart2161]

​@@dalestrom1 da grandissimo amante di profondo rosso, personalmente ti direi che gli Opeth stanno su un altro livello

[@fullmetalguy8357]

This album is a perfect display of the power of dynamics in production and songwriting. That outro would not have sounded as haunting and beautiful if it had the same production as their few albums before this. God, what a chilling piece of music.

[@Noxious922]

Almost forgot how ungodly amazing this album is. I can not wait until I see them live again. Rare musicianship in its purest form. One of mans greatest accomplishments. In my words, "the greatest band in the history of music".

[@DirtBikesR4Life]

Couldn't agree more

[@darkomarkac5268]

you stole my thoughts and words.... 'ungodly amazing'. Just that!

[@brianmaiden1185]

Now Tony, we talked about this. Do you want me to take this SOUNDGARDEN t-shirt off and choke you with it while we listen to Superunknown on repeat, until we admit it's the BEST fuckin' album, by the BEST fuckin' BAND, in the HISTORY of fuckin'...BEST?! I mean history. MUSIC! It's hardly 'ungodly amazing' if you fuckin' FORGOT ABOUT IT, is it? Right, that it's, come here you little... ;)

[@applepeel1662]

This is so on point. Doubt us humans will ever see a band as musically gifted as Opeth. Even if there is, im hope il be alive when that happens.Each and everyone of em is a musical deity.

[@cudovitja]

1:15 to 2:18 is killing my soul! It's so beautiful :O

[@jhondemetz]

There is something strange about this album, I can't really tell what is it but it's... it's dark, yet it has a feel to it that it's pulling me closer. I love the lyrics, the music, the atmosphere, everything!

[@darkomarkac5268]

so dark and sooo beautiful. This music somehow pull me in deep dark state of my mind. In my 47 years I heard o lot of different music, but this is... different. There IS really something with this album. Who knows, maybe devil himself helped record it :)

[@lopolik]

Joso Ubiparip Is this song or album against God? The lyrics 'Dying wish to shun a God' might suggest that it is a bit against God.

[@darkomarkac5268]

a bit? I would say it is very against God. Everyone has a god or his own way of interpreting the meaning of human existence. This is perhaps a rebellion against conventional thinking about God. Also Mikael sings 'God is dead'. By such a beautiful and gentle voice :)

[@RohannvanRensburg]

+Joso Ubiparip Not really. Mikael has said that wasn't a philosophical statement. Listen to the whole of "The Devil's Orchard" and pay attention to how the "God is dead!" goes from triumph, to at the very end, a terribly chilling and hopeless small distant voice. The record is fantastic, beautiful, and at some points wonderfully upbeat. But the undercurrent is a painted picture of a hopeless world, and it's really rather chilling and lonely. It's far more like what a world without God would be like.

[@dylanriesenbeck846]

Joseph Machon I wouldn't say that. It's just art. Telling a story. Doesn't mean it's coming directly from Akerfeldt's perspective.

[@Meshuggapeth]

3:18 recalls the bridge from Windowpane off Damnation, though it's even more beautiful and organic sounding. Opeth IMPROVED from Damnation!

[@themichaelvonavicanale7515]

This song is tighter than a witch's cleft.

[@harrisondocarmo7923]

[@fabiopeixoto1571]

Akerfeldt was very inspired writing this album!

[@HastyBacon]

I feel bad that this album goes so underappreciated because of how adamant most Opeth fans are about the band they like always sticking to the same formula every time they create an album. This song is really beautiful. I especially love how melancholy the intro is. It brings me back to my childhood and makes me think about a lot of different aspects of my life.

[@lashersquirrelslayer]

Those who feel that way were just metal heads...not that there is anything wrong with that! However, Opeth has grown like those who aged along with them, right? We all love Demon of the Fall but Mikael and the band have become Cosmic in the world of music. Live at the Red Rocks show that they are still the same.

[@phillyblunt8473]

Those "fans" were never really into what Opeth is about. They are just into growling, which Mikael still does better than anyone. Opeth is progressive, so to be a true fan means you must be as well.

Best song on album

[@ptr_does_music7042]

I remember listening to this album for the first time, ever so patiently, but couldn't really get the appeal. I only liked some moments, scattered around the songs. But the moment that silent solo began at the end of this song was when I froze from interest. That's when Heritage won me over.. this song is simply amazing! So dark yet cozy and comforting!

[@retorique]

Ludjet Innan solos from Storm Corrosion hit me in the same way. Akerfeldt's phrasing is incredibly expressive for those kind of slow, bluesy solos.

[@ash.7.7.A]

Brian Forbes I think the whole point of Opeth's music is to transcend boundaries. I think it's pretty commendable how they aren't repeating the same album over and over like a lot of metal bands do. That said I don't like the original comment on this either, that "death metal shit" is what makes them unique.

They were always progressive.. If not technically in genre, but in spirit. Even in orchid they had moments that could have led to this. Always pushing their capabilities, and improving quality.. Just.. Fuck.
