Hey all, since KZbin is making it really hard for me to upload albums, here's a list of recommendations for those who like this band/album so you can check them out: Edge of Sanity: Crimson Katatonia: Brave Murder Day Enslaved: Axioma Ethica Odini Disillusion: Back to Times of Splendor Insomnium: Since the Day it all Came Down Be'lakor: Stone's Reach Amorphis: Tales from the Thousand Lakes Orphaned Land: Mabool (The Story of the Three Sons.....) Wintersun: Wintersun Ensiferum: Ensiferum Leprous: Bilateral Hopefully you find something that you like!

[@egarran]

Nice to see Disillusion getting the recognition they deserve for that album.

[@imabigpotato3249]

The main character is kind of banished from his hometown because he hasn’t got the same [Christian] faith as the rest of the inhabitants there. The album pretty much starts off when he is returning after several years to hook up with his old ‘babe’. Obviously a lot of bad things start happening with, as I call it on the album, ‘the council’. The big bosses of the town know that he’s back. A lot of bad things start happening. - Mikael Åkerfeldt

[@stormtrooperelite1453]

back to times of splendor is probably the most underrated album of all time

[@jarltrippin]

Still Life: an occult village. Blackwater Park: an evil forest. Ghost Reveries: a haunted castle. To me these albums feel like a trilogy about different parts of a fantasy world Opeth created with their soundscape.

[@francescodedominicis5559]

The transition at 7:48 is the best and smoothest transition that I've ever heard. The way that they fade out distorted rhythm guitars, leaving the lead one but reducing its volume, changing melody starting from the ending note of the previous melody but leaving the same acoustic guitars riff that they have been playing since the previous section creates a beautiful coerence, which in my opinion is something to consider when composing very long songs. This album in my opinion is their peak in terms of songs structure.

The very first death metal album i bought. I feel like there's no better gateway into DM than Opeth.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

I mean, I love Opeth to bits but there are a lot of other DM bands that are more representative of what DM typically is than something atmospheric and proggy like Opeth. For gateway/first DM band stuff I mean. Not to mention the vocals that resemble Black Metal or Blackened Death more than regular Death.

[@blackbeltjones2903]

@@cookiesontoast9981 but it's that atmospheric/ proggy sound typified especially by the acoustic bits (and clean singing of course) that eased the path into the heavier sections of their songs for me. That's exactly what I think can soften the blow of DM for a new listener. As opposed to an all out, frenetic assault like early cannibal corpse (which newcomers might find themselves drawn to given that they're probably the most recognizable name in the genre). Mind you, I was already listening to metalcore and mathcore like DEP and Converge at the time, but DM is heavy in its own extreme way. I get what you're saying though. Others could rightfully consider Death or Bolt Thrower better gateway bands.

I can see why this and Blackwater Park are close contenders for most listeners. I think it's at least fair to say they both have their shares in being part of that "epicenter".

[@Cr8Tron]

+Svarog Thanks, but that's all old news for me. It was definitely interesting to hear at least. However, you can't make a proper mix without being able to access the individual tracks, which would allow you to either MUTE the original bass you are replacing (and then remixing the other tracks around a newly-recorded bass track), or to simply TURN UP the original bass track. I commend the people who did whatever they could do, despite there not being the ideal situation I described--They mostly did everything they could do. The only major thing that could have been better would have been to have it all done by one person, so that the quality would at least be consistent on each of the tunes (instead of it being a collection of random people, each with their own approach for the bass enhancements). I can't recall which ones they were, but I definitely remember some of the tunes not being performed and/or mixed as well as others. No matter what people do though, it can't be perfect.

Rising sun behind Melinda, with the full moon?

[@GimmiBill]

Lasse That scared the hell out of me

[@driss409]

[@TheNezzzzzz]

Once i read the lyrics and realized what the album was about I checked the album cover for a clue to it. even though i was excepting something, it was still super creepy when i saw it lol. opeth is fuckin awesome.

[@Helgard17]

[@andrewcarden8158]

thank you for your excellent posts!

[@thesanctuary225]

The best of the best of the best album ever existed in human history.

[@aggelosmanolis5689]

Facts

[@DonTheMoron716]

You are not wrong. The drumming and vocals destroy!

[@Vibhutius]

Chopping onions listening to a death metal album.. 🤧

[@panzer1364]

still one of my favourite albums to this day, flawless.

[@jasminetaylor4717]

As an album, this is lovely to listen to. The heavy parts are beautiful and the beautiful parts are an expression in the skill involved to make music like this!!!

[@lordofthestrings_heritage]

This album is a masterpiece

[@gabrielthomas9818]

This album is so good, can't believe I missed this! :O

[@SalvoSCycleTraveller]

22 years old today.... unbelievable....

[@metalmike1976]

the definition of absolute perfection

[@Ozzmosisf35]

This album is fucking beautiful. Classical vibes all around

[@Nightwishmaster]

About a decade ago I heard this album for the first time. Still blown away to this day. I'd say it ties with Metropolis part 2 Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theater as my all time favorite metal album!

[@seekeroftruth4514]

+PhunkyPhishPhan Second that! Metroplolis pt.2/Still life..... and that one Phish album, Brah!

[@EricMetalhead]

+PhunkyPhishPhan Dream Theater isn't even in the same ballpark

[@Nightwishmaster]

What? Of course they are, why would you say that? Mike Portnoy and Mikael Akerfeldt certainly think they are. Mikael Akerfeldt has been a huge Dream Theater fan since Images and Words came out and he saw the Pull Me Under video for the first time. Words straight out of his mouth, "I think we sound the way we do much thanks to you guys. And I've bought every album since, what can I say I'm a massive fan." That is, more or less, word for word what Akerfeldt said to Mike Portnoy. You should watch their interview together for some insight.

[@EricMetalhead]

PhunkyPhishPhan Akefedlt is just being nice in this instance, and he is also a fan of a lot of shitty bands like Morbid Angel. They simply can't compare, Opeth is soo much better than DT...

[@Nightwishmaster]

EricMetalhead No, he wasn't. Have you seen the interview I'm talking about? Watch it. He's clearly not just being nice.

[@brimrecoveringmcpherson7667]

I have jammed this album around 100 time's,Maybe more. One thing I can tell you,it just keeps getting better and better 🤘

[@nescaudrummer]

Wow man... The Moor it's just... Beautiful hahah Congrats Opeth for this awesome album

[@fotismonocheir1446]

You're a couple decades late

[@u.v.s.5583]

The moor is wet and very very deep. This song, however, is a masterpiece.

[@TYFLOL]

Didn't even know this was remixed/mastered. It sounds amazing now! I didn't really like the production of this album but now I can thoroughly enjoy this wonderful album!

[@DonTheMoron716]

Serenity Painted Death! One of the best songs ever!

[@testosteronetips-cf3yq]

that fucking solo boy

[@theotherandrewowens]

I was obsessed with this album back in 2008 when I was 15, and thought I'd look it up again because I recently lost my old Ipod! Amazing, takes me back!

[@brimrecoveringmcpherson7667]

There is a reason I always return to this album. By far my fav from them.. miss this line up. #Godsofmetal

[@CreamyClaws]

This is an amazing album that I always go back to. Serenity Painted Death is still one of Opeth's greatest masterpieces, especially when it serves in stark contrast to the more mellow Face of Melinda. The only complaint I have is that long-ass intro to The Moor.

[@jamesschulte2571]

such a beautiful piece of work #epic

[@hiro6406]

Face of melinda since I heard it 2 years ago still remains my favourite song

[@rogerwelsh2335]

The best play it straight through Opeth album ever. It’s got everything great about Opeth

[@MetalHeadHellYeah]

one of the best riffs ever made 17:19 - 18:17

[@tho4life611]

+Eber Francisco 12:24-13:08 for me. Opeth=King of Riffs!

[@mattw4461]

+Eber Francisco One of my favorites 39:53 - 40:20

[@Khepramancer]

+Eber Francisco 45:21 through the rest of the song is badass : P

[@Rhyshellen]

The riff on the intro for white cluster is so good, it's probably my favourite song off the album.

[@gallan30]

Personally, the riff in 'the moor' at 6:13 and then later again 10:10 is my favorite. Also among my top three or so favourite Opeth riffs.

[@maxenceraymond2377]

Best album from the best band ! Opeth is love . Opeth is life

[@brimrecoveringmcpherson7667]

They have to many great song's and album's,but they are def my fav band of all time. So dark yet beautiful at the same time. Masterfully written and arranged,can any band be better than this? I think not

[@xavi9bhgt556]

The album that got me into Opeth, this eill always be a special one for me

[@thomashinds3308]

This right here is peak Mikael growls...when he first shifted to a primarily growl-based diet.
