Opeth - Harlequin Forest (Reaction)

[@thomasmikel3566]

It’s so great to see someone else really enjoy this band as much as I do. Enjoy the journey. They aren’t for everyone, but to those of us who “get it”, they’re hard to beat. Mikael is a frickin genius.

[@hehehisjejeu3423]

Opeth is unreal. Check out coming home by allagaeon. Biggest ghost reverie vibes ever bro

[@Lukkern]

Mikael is literally the person i look the most up to. No one over him in the musical world. Love that man to death. Such a nice guy as well! Met him in Stockholm a couple of years ago and he was willing to grab a couple of beers with me!

[@sondrakeck4345]

Best best ever.

[@HockeyDudeJames2]

Been a fan ever since I was 10.

[@onlyguitar1001]

Opeth is not afraid to jam on an amazing riff. Psychedelic vibes

[@VividAbominations]

The crazy repeating end of the song is to symbolize being lost in the darkness of the Harlequin Forest.

[@_dmfd]

The story being told in this song is so great

[@Mr.M1STER]

Whether this is true or not, I like the idea.

[@youtubecommenter2527]

Surrounded and lost in the forest of suicides.

[@garymiller6835]

This ending gives me visions of 'The Terminator '.......brilliant,complex ending to a brilliant track

[@MegaLaban12345]

Baseless speculation

[@DPDDD3]

THE DRAPERY FALLS by them!!!! the best bassline ever !

[@neelmukherjee9690]

One of Akerfeldt's best clean vocals as well!

[@rjkawrjahrsnjfddfdsfsodapi1840]

and most people play it wrong

[@Hanselito]

Ouh yessss

[@krytoderp6920]

i can feel alot of emotion in the baseline on that song, opeth have make me love bass for the first time in metal

[@googelle7555]

Martin Lopez (and Axenrot) really shine in "Nepenthe."

[@notchjohnson2540]

Opeth - Deliverance has to be next then :>

[@SuperSteve120]

Deliverance is my favorite Opeth song. It's their closer when they tour and it kills every time.

[@Defensive_Wounds]

@@SuperSteve120 The last decade it has been, before then it was Demon of the Fall was the outro to gigs! Seen Opeth 9 times so far!!

[@Taunic]

Baying of the Hounds is a straight banger. Recommend that one, Hessian Peel, and Deliverance oh and Leper Affinity. Too many masterpieces with this band to name.

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

Leper Affiinity is a straight up headbanger from start to finish

[@Laughingman923]

Baying of the Hounds is a massively underrated Opeth song.

[@timjaeger6589]

Dude the title track to Blackwater Park is fucking unreal

[@MarkusHammond]

Hessian Peel is probably my favourite. They have dozens of amazing songs but that one in particular I absolutely love.

[@petegrusky2715]

Lotus Eaters, Hex Omega, Bleak... The list is endless

[@marlugubre5865]

This is probably my fav song of all time, not only from Opeth. One of the best compositions i've ever heard in my entire life.

[@trevorbook9529]

You really gotta do Deliverance next, you’ll adore it

[@Celatra]

Good song, but i'd personally vote for The Moor Because it has been reacted to less and for me is a much more memorable song

[@trevorbook9529]

@@Celatra I love The Moor as well but seeing how much they loved the outro in this song, they would love the Deliverance outro

[@batweed]

Just do both..

[@trevorbook9529]

@@batweed well yeah obviously that would be preferred but so far they’ve done one Opeth reaction a month so still gotta decide the best one to do next

[@yahirave]

Maybe... Baying Of Te Hounds? Why not?

[@Freedum_Fries]

you still have to do Deliverance lol

[@victorreboucas5356]

I was going to recommend this right now lol. Deliverance is so good

[@theone132435]

I think that one will break them both 🤘

[@jro341]

I just heard Deliverance a couple day’s ago for the first time. Can’t stop listening to it now.

[@DragonFly-qm4vh]

And Bleak lol

[@alexandremarchand8815]

Deliverance, The Moor, Heir Apparent etc.. the list is veeeeeeeery long hahah. Watching you guys react to Opeth is like listening to the song for the first time again. Thanks a lot :)

[@enitaly]

Thanks 😊

[@sonsofbiscuits1]

Heir Apparent is a brutal and very unique song. One of their heaviest and most beautiful.

[@Nebuloid1]

Feel the same way ! Even though I've been listening to them since '97 Would really love some earlier songs in the reactions !

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

Heir Apparent is a gem.

[@dguerra1969]

Probably the best band...you’ll ever hear...in Metal.

[@Celatra]

In any genre

[@filthgrinder666]

*were

[@Celatra]

@@filthgrinder666 still are, In Cauda Venenum is a top tier retro album with all the good layers, modes, heavy riffs and shit opeth is known for

[@theuniversewithin2065]

@@Celatra In Cauda Venenum is a masterpiece. It has the best outro ever recorded in All Things Shall Pass. I got a list with my most played songs this year from Spotify and I knew All Things Shall Pass would be at the very top. Must've listened to that close to a thousand times this year.

[@Ge_001]

And Tool

[@jasonackerman684]

You don’t feel, hear everything going on in this song unless you listen to it 30 times. Then you’ll be in awe. F’in sick. It takes you through all of your emotions. High and low. Places you didn’t know you couldn’t experience in 9 minutes.

[@rodgerhermes5995]

Dude thats every song, too. Hearing Leper Affinifty a few times is great, but hearing it 300 times is just something else

[@henrikeatworld]

I agree. Harlequin Forest was just another great Opeth song, until one day when I listened to it yet again, it just clicked and it became a favorite

[@laicifo1]

Deliverance or Serenity Painted Death are my suggestions ;)

[@Zuracooking]

Serenity painted Death is fucking killer

[@wesleyb1458]

Not enough requests for Still Life! Moonlapse vertigo please

[@AllthatremainsMV]

Serenity painted death

[@TheFbiFilesRepeat]

@@Zuracooking killer riffs , one of the best

[@fhare666]

This is the appropriate reaction to Opeth; utter awe and appreciation when you're in the presence of brilliance.

[@jiggly198402]

The outro in this song is just pure magic.. great reaction!

[@Freedum_Fries]

yes!!!!! another Opeth Reaction!!!

[@SebastianGonzalez-ew9vc]

Opeth - When Opeth - Baying of the hounds Vektor - Recharging the void Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize Edge of Sanity - Crimson

[@opethdan2408]

When is definitely great

[@levinskevich2180]

I just said in another comment that nobody ever suggests When, so kudos to you. One of my favorites, so underrated.

[@JavierBT90]

Vektor is straight fire. Holy fuck that album is siiiiiick

[@AlessioRHCP]

Vektor - tetraestructural minds😍

[@TheSadistNat1on]

BTW this album as a whole is the coolest shit ever. literally. As far as an album front to back, this tops everything else in that regards for me

[@theuniversewithin2065]

Ghost Reveries is so good I can't even begin to describe it. When I first discovered it way back I had it on repeat for almost two years. Listened to it at least twice a day for two years. That's a sure sign of quality and complexity. Ghost Reveries is Opeth's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son to me. I never ever get tired of listening to it.

[@Vinterloft]

Up there with Origin of Symmetry for best album ever IMO

[@AlexTheCynic]

Edge of Sanity - "Crimson" 1996. Their masterpiece. Mikael is doing some vocals in there

[@nickademus1229]

Haven't listened to that in a long time. What a great record.

[@mwtriplett1]

Came from your tool reactions and I love your authenticity, sincerety and love of music and each other.

[@alperakman8287]

Hello guys.. first of all excuse my English. I really enjoy your reactions to Opeth masterpieces. Opeth is hard to “digest” but if you can manage, it is a whole different dimension of all the music all around the world. To tell you the truth; you will not find a better masterpiece than “Harlequin Forest” but, Opeth is to be discovered in all their albums seperately. So, I will not tell you to do a reaction on this song or that song... go with everything!!! Every album, and every track are seperate masterpieces. Rock on...

[@chessnphysics]

ingilizcen gayet güzel bu arada

[@CO6883-o3c]

Early to the party 🤘🤘 You guys... Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize!!

[@charliepekin8940]

Dylan's gonna need an ambulance

[@jayray6488]

this never gets old! Love the Opeth reactions! edit: I imagine at this point your wondering how many gems can one band have? It's time for Deliverance, and I don't mean the 'squeal like a pig" flick.

[@Celatra]

@Simon Karki new songs too. Heir Apparent, Folklore, Dignity, all things will pass, eternal rains will come, sorceress

[@levinskevich2180]

@Simon Karki "When" is one of my favorites, and sadly almost nobody requests it

[@tailsbooddah]

Hell yes dude!! Harlequin forest is such an amazing song. It was actually the first track I have ever listen from them almost 15 years ago! was a huge fan since, of course.. This track is still among the greatest in metal in my opinion. Awesome to see you guys enjoying Opeth, hope to see more 😀

[@philiph.5113]

Finally back to Opeth. Stay with it, you have a long way to go.

[@thewhynotlodge2548]

Your passion for REAL music brings me hope! Only a few can recognize the mastery in this genre. Opeth is in the upper echelon and very few can compete!

[@lavillastrangiato1457]

This track... Even through crappy smartphone speakers its massive goosebumps!

[@JimboKM]

I'm pretty new to Opeth also. Have heard a couple live performances and they are so tight live and a great sound mix. If someone who knows their catalog better than I suggests a live video, I would say jump on it, definitely. Looking at the below comments, I'd love to discover "Deliverence" Live with you.

[@enitaly]

I can’t even imagine how amazing they are Live! They are definitely On our concert radar now

[@thesloppyjoes]

Anything from red rocks

[@danielfuentes117]

This is my new favorite channel for Opeth Reaction. Amazing. Next song: Demon of the Fall (LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE)

[@scrubsscrubs694]

Roundhouse tapes version of this song is better than red rocks in my opinion. When Mikael could still growl properly

[@resiseven7407]

@@scrubsscrubs694 he's a bit better now than he was on the red rocks dvd, i think. that performance was kind of a low in terms of his growls.

[@Celatra]

@@resiseven7407 he's not better. He's lost it since some 2011. And it's not gonna come back. They should just stop playing old songs, he's tensing his neck and voice up to no avail.

[@soadfan1016]

Okay but now time for my first and favorite Opeth song... DELIVERANCE! :D

[@everything_is_backwards]

Opeth has the song called Black Rose Immortal and it’s 20+ minutes long! It’s from their early days and has even some black metal influences🤘

Do Demon of the fall or Drapery falls

[@Celatra]

If so, Roundhouse tapes live

[@faultier3215]

"Masters Apprentices" is another gret Song by Opeth, aswell as "Bleak" and "Demon of the Fall"... and deliverance ofc, just wanted to mention some other Songs

The first Opeth song I fell in love with. Always big special place in my heart for this absolute masterpiece 🖤♥️

[@nicolemelineilliannasimons8272]

Porcupine Tree "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" live in Chicago. You'll absolutely love it. It's so awesome 🤗

[@chokka168]

You need to do the live version of Harlequin Forest at the Royal Albert Hall! And, please react to Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize Live @ Tilburg. It's amazing, the drumming is absolutely epic and it's such an awesome groove that they get in that song!

[@tassos67]

The masterpiece of the masterpieces. Psychedelic prog extreme metal that leaves you breathless. From the band that changed metal for ever.

I've been a fan of Opeth since '02 when I was just discovering Metal with their Deliverance Album, your reactions reminded me of that first time I listened to them, a lot of people complain about their new sound, however, I feel I have grown into music just like they did, I always love to see peoples reaction to being introduced to them, you have a LOT of material to go through, you are going to love it
