LMFAO. As a major potterhead and a big fan of Opeth, this comment made my day. 🤟🏻😂 And now I know why I got this feeling that I'd seen Mikael somewhere else before. Mikael Akerfeldt and the Prisoner of Opeth.

It almost require a learning curve. If don’t know what to expect lt is easy to just push it away.

[@saltpeter7429]

I knew who they were over 10 years ago, but I was close minded about what they would sound like without hearing them. A few years back I read a heavy metal magazine about how Opeth changed and alienated their fans, I was intrigued and gave it a listen. I believe they are the only band besides Tool that I get excited to hear what they are doing.

[@subhashxrecord3131]

Found watershed randomly at Target xx Had known Closure and Grand Conjuration that was it Not going into it expecting Metal Opeth i accepted it a bit differently than other albums It grows on you over time all opeth albums are somewhat like journeys

[@nicgarcia497]

Welcome! Glad you made it.

[@tedmotlapele3219]

the vocalist is so calm but growls so brutaly.. he can nicely change frm one type of vocaling to the next .. i love it

Mikael's the best....genius musician and composer

[@patrickshaffer2138]

It's sick how the concert starts out with sunlight and progresses into darkness and the night, Opeth live is the best.

[@purulence666]

I`m afraid there`s not even single one bad musician in Scandinavia. What an art!

[@thomasschemer711]

Maybe because it´s cold and dark outside. They have to stay inside and make music to avoid sickness from the dark winter…. :-) or it´s because the school system is more focused on music than ones in other countries. Who knows?

[@TurtleFL]

@@thomasschemer711 I heard thanks to all the high taxes over there, no sense trying to find a good job and get ahead because the government won't let you excel, so the only good way out is the arts.

And actually, Yngwie Malmsteen said so. He now lives in Florida, my state.

[@guisantovski]

[@jonkwape3097]

1. The keyboardist is the real hero of the day here. Was kinda suspicious of the new guy (throughout what - 3 albums now:) ). But he's killing it. Total respect. 2. Akerfeldt is being Akerfeldty. Nothing new, nothing bad either. 3. Mendez, Fredrik, Axe are all doing a great job. 4. Opeth is not what it was. Get over that. Old stuff was good, new is good as well. 5. Growl are not that bad. But if you miss ol' good growls - Bloodbath welcomes you.

[@jonkwape3097]

I should add this also: Opeth are fuckin geniuses of music. They are controversial , that's correct. but they are also giving the best. What you may like about them is that they are truly progressive. You may not like that as well, but that says something about you.

[@BrendanThompson]

sorry dude but the new bloodbath guy is awful also

[@jonkwape3097]

@@BrendanThompson Yeah, I was referring to Akerfeldt/Tagtgren period actually :). I've thought the same as you, however I saw one of latest live videos of them recently. And though the new guy is not what you'd expect of the singer after the previous ones, he has that sombre touch in his voice and appearance that though it didn't get me fully into it, but at least got my respect.

[@normnorumi3780]

The teachers are the real heroes, though.

Been a fan of Opeth for over 10 years, their music has evolved so much through the years but it's always got that signature sound! It's cool they still play older songs aswell even though Åkerfeldt clearly is more in to classic rock nowadays. Don't forget your roots, always a good thing :) I like all of their albums, maybe exactly because they're all so very different. Good set!

These guys are genius & Mikael is so awesome, got to meet them in Orlando at House of Blues & smoked a blunt w/them outside the tour bus, unfortunately my girl friend there "Metal Suzy" that knows them personally & our crew didn't get to party the night with them as they usually end their tour in Orlando but this time, they had another show to go to. I told Mikael to tell the bus driver rushing them to leave, to chill, you're the rock star,lol. But he's so nice he laughed it off a bit & we had fun. Such amazing true musicians & their music is transcendent to another realm, another time & space. They take me away to this land of Avalon & Camelot & the lore of mysticism that is true reality & beauty & the raw emotion. The way they transition their changes is so beautiful & amazing. Rock on Opeth, 1 of the most talented group of guys on this Plan(et)

[@PabloJ1968]
