OPETH - Moon Above, Sun Below | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION

[@Hybbeman]

Opeth is a rabbit hole as deep as any and this album isn't even one of the big fan favorites (though I absolutely adore it and I've been a fan for 20 years). As for recommendations -- you can't really go wrong with any song, but it would be cool if you'd check out pre-Heritage Opeth, like something from Still Life, Blackwater Park or Ghost Reveries. Maybe Moonlapse Vertigo, Leper Affinity or The Baying of the Hounds.

[@BassGoBomb]

We just hear too much from the 'disssers' of the more recent stuff... (as onne often does). The recent stuff is popular enough .. :-)

[@The13thblade]

Anything Opeth. That is all.

[@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact]

3:50 , the album when Mikael changed his way of singing is from Heritage record 2011. But this one from Pale Communion is way better 2014 . This is the best record From the new era .

[@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact]

Cusp of Eternity or The River song from this record. But also Eternal Rain Will come. Every song in this record is excellent

[@kwestyo8579]

They played this song live for the first time late 2019 during their UK tour. It was my first time seeing them and I absolutely lost my shit when they pulled this out, as its one of my favorites by them.

[@BassGoBomb]

Birmingham I saw them do this .. AMAZING

[@BassGoBomb]

Saw them perform this at Birmingham, England .. insert long list of superlatives... :-)

[@taluckderriam5929]

Next time harlequin forest by opeth Let’s start the journey

[@NicknLex]

Stay tuned for more Opeth! :) - Lex

[@richardbeierjr.6648]

Opeth is fantastic. Another band is Porcupine Tree with the song "Deadwing." Candlemass has an album "The Door To Doom" with a song "Astorolus - The Great Octopus."

[@Zitronenparty]

Awesome, Opeth is my favorite band of all times. They have such an amazing ability to set a certain mood with their music and they change their style so often, every song is another journey! Check out Ghost of Perdition, Harlequin Forest or Burden, Windowpane by them... or pretty much any other song :D

[@NicknLex]

We're so excited to join in on Opeth's journey. Thanks for watching and hope to see you back for our next reaction! :) - Lex

[@Capitaomac1]

Ah, Opeth. Such an amazing band. Another amazing band I love even more is also from Sweden. It's called Pain of Salvation and I would love to see you react to them. Try King of Loss or A Trace of Blood to start. You'll love it. Cheers from Portugal.

[@viganrexhepi4634]

You're just beginning, Opeth is a universe of its own! The greatest musical geniuses of our time, in my humble opinion. React to Serenity Painted Death to see another side of them! Much darker, even more sinister

[@chuckhutton5087]

I saw a reaction from the “Lost in Vegas” fellas of the song “ Sorceress “ from Opeth. Interesting band.

[@hansgunnar90]

Nice reaction!:) Love this song, and I would suggest to check out Burden by Opeth. But they also have so many other amazing songs!

[@NicknLex]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and stay tuned for much more Opeth to come! :) - Lex

[@jonkwape3097]

Hi guys, I have a suggestion for you: Storm Corrosion -Ljudet Innan. That's a project by Mikael and Steven Wilson, and personally I think it's a very beautiful song:)

[@omkarbharambe8673]

I hope you guys do The Drapery Falls. You can see Opeth's both sides here, a little clean vocal friendly compared to the other early stuff.

[@MrTelorix]

Yes please do this song. It's my all time favorite song

[@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact]

React to The Drapery Falls. Opeth. Thank you

[@progperljungman8218]

Yeah! For an even more versatile Opeth experience try something from the album Watershed (boardeline album between growl-including and non-growl Opeth). Recommend the song Heir Apparent. But please, if you pick that one, do include the beautiful "intro-song" Coil! Or, you could pick The Lotus Eater 😊

[@adityastrcoep]

Please react to Eternal Rains WIll Come by Opeth as well. It would really mean the world to me!

[@Meshuggapeth]

Mikael Akerfeldt is self-taught. The lead guitarist Fredrik has his full training absolutely

[@Meshuggapeth]

PS Fredrik does the more technical solos but mikael overall writes the music and plays lots of the leads and solos too

[@MarkAshtonMusic]

Nice chemistry you two. good to see. great song. masterpiece really

[@alyu9056]

You need to listen to "Ghost of Perdition" live at Red Rocks. Perfect combination of clean and growl vocals and showcases their amazing skills as musicians.

[@PK--ITA]

I appreciate you know Steve WIlson and the fact that you are working closely with Michael

[@ibrahimutant]

Please do more Opeth! Check out The Moor, Bleak, and Ghost of Perdition!

[@axonometri]

I have not listened to this album in a while, however somehow I found them on this one. I listened to it pre halloween one year and became a huge fan of everything they have done. Thanks

[@giacomojamesPunkRockHeadReact]

For other things different , NOFX - Don’t Call Me White

[@meanangel8114]

Nobody mentions, how their bass player Martin is brilliant. Also being an entrepreneur.

[@rizkyjelang4737]

you must be keep going please!!!

[@scyphe]

If you want to hear the more beautiful (yet sad) side of Opeth, check out Lovelorn Crime from their latest album In Cauda Venenum. It's truly a masterpiece (and I'm a huuuuge fan of their old heavier stuff before Mikael stopped growling in 2011). Dignity off the same album is also a seriously awesome song. They've used an e-bow throughout their career to create those mood setting eerie guitar voices "above" the other instruments. ps. forgot to mention that Dignity (Svekets Prins in the Swedish version which translates to Prince of Betrayal) probably has the best and tastiest guitar solo in their album career. Mikael Åkerfeldt is a great writer, composer and pretty damn good at playing guitar as well. The lead guitarist Fredrik Åkesson is an amaaazing guitarist who've gotten more parts over the years and he can play very emotional or veeeery technical. They've released 5 albums in total without any growls or really heavy stuff, the first being Damnation in 2002 (the opening song Windowpane is amazing).

[@NicknLex]

Thanks so much for the suggestion, we'll definitely check it out! :) - Lex

[@milton1448]

Glad to meeting someone who understand and appreciates both sides of Opeth.

[@soakedbearrd]

This along with Faith in others are my favorites off of the album. BTW I went crazy when I saw them play this live.

[@jimmydanielson8417]

Drapery Falls is awesome!! Among a gazillion others of course. But you should definitely try that.

[@steenengel2882]

I must confess that I'm not that well acqainted with Opeth, but I always enjoy this Swedish outfit, though I prefer the songs without the growls - this was a treat! By the way, Nick mentioned Arabic scales at the beginning of the song, so here's a recommendation - please, try out Orphaned Land from Israel with the song Oceanland from the album by the same name; I have a feeling that you might like it! ...

[@thibeauclaes2526]

Awesome band 🤟🏼 probably my favourite

[@LoisoPondohva]

[@isaacgonzalez2930]

This is def one of best prog rock songs ever

[@brad_wilson]

This is an interesting first exposure to Opeth. It's definitely a deep cut and not where new listeners usually start, but clearly whoever recommended it to you knew it would appeal to your tastes. 🤘🏼

[@asd848]

Take a listen to "Harlequin Forest" next!

[@nicolasvizarim5506]

Opeth is really an amazing band guys, you've picked a nice song to start with! If you're curious about "new" bands in prog scene, try some Haken, they have a pretty nice sound with so much details and feeling. Nice reaction (:

[@NicknLex]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed! We’re excited to look into Haken - you’ll probably be seeing a reaction of theirs soon. :) - Lex

[@milton1448]

YEs on Haken. One of the new great prog bands

[@tobiasfischer5538]

Opeth is great of course but this couple is awesome! Thank you ☺️

[@NicknLex]

Danke Tobi! Wir lieben dich. 😊

[@tama7734]

Yes they are! So fun, many hours spent with them, and songs I had forgot about.

[@RandyLott]

You definitely need to check our Karmakanic and Lalle Larsson! Some of the most eclectic prog bands.

[@tama7734]

Again props, for doing Opeth! Diversity

[@tama7734]

Could I give a recommendation for some northwest metal, a band I had the honor of playing with many times? Forced entry from Seattle were so overlooked, as was my band wreck creation, both on KZbin if you have a chance, we were both over looked. Wreck my band more so.

[@sebastianch001]

Opeth!!! De las mejores bandas para ver en vivo

[@NicknLex]

Wow, qué padre que tuviste la oportunidad de verlos en vivo! Me imagino que ha de haber sido increíble! :) - Lex

[@rudolfbecker4313]

I'm sorry for you that you missed Opeth live at Red Rock in May 2018, because they filmed their 4th live DVD. I've seen Opeth 3 times live, it's a must for prog fans, if they can stand some growling. Opeth released 13 Studio Albums, so the Rabbit hole is really Deep, like somebody else said. But I guess out of your hometown there is somewhere the prairie, so you will know rabbitholes :-) Mikael Akerfeldt stopped the growling after the 9th Album, which I think is a Little sad, because it was the Special note of their Music: his angelic clean voice and his demonish growling … same as you heard in Jinjer yesterday. Somebody else recommended Ghost of perdition, this was my first ever Opeth experience, which pulled me in the hole. This song contains everything that defines Opeth.

[@laza2761]

Nice reaction guys!✌️ Enjoy the Opeth journey 👌 you are in for a ride ! Ps How many songs did they fit in that track ? 😉

[@laza2761]

You stopped being friends with Tobias? 😊 Where’s the Opeth reactions ? ✌️

[@saltysir]

Oooooooooooooh....... just noticed you have cracked the Opeth crypt. Fantastic. 8 ) Ghost of Perdition please.

[@hackandslash873]

Baying of the Hounds - that bass!

[@drogusmaxwell6640]

I believe Damnation was the first album where he doesn't do guttural vocals on any of the songs. Great album, by the way, top to bottom.

[@bernhardkrickl3567]

That is true but Damnation was originally supposed to be the second disc of a double album together with Deliverance and at that point it was more of an experiment, sort of an "acoustic" album. They went back to mixed vocal styles after that for another two albums before Mikael abandoned the growls for good on Heritage.

[@irena7777777]

@@bernhardkrickl3567 I'm glad he ditched the growls. Current Opeth is much better

Pretty much every album has a beauty to it but I definitely prefer their pre Heritage phase for that kind of stuff.

[@lilyserio3557]

more opeth

[@Rodiootje99]

I don't think they are classicly trained. At least the lead singer isnt😉

I think self taught which is mind blowing

О, 12 февраля. Мой День Рождения был. Хороший был день. А сегодня - 25 февраля - весь предыдущий день Россия, в лице плешивого карлика, бомбила наши дома. Прикрываясь мнимыми отговорками о... О Чём? Об угрозе со стороны мирных жителей, которых он бомбит. Логично. В любом случае, вы мне приятны. Очень люблю великую группу Opeth. Хоть расслаблюсь немного. А то русский мир всё меня пытается от чего-то освободить. Час ночи - всё бомбят. Освобождают, спать не могут.

Stop constantly looking at each other for confirmation.

When you have a connection with someone and you’re listening to music together you’re sharing a moment. I can only hope we won’t ever stop sharing these moments with each other. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you peace, Lex.
