OPETH - "Svekets Prins" (OFFICIAL VISUALIZER TRACK)

Opeth somehow pulls off sounding evil and angelic simultaneously.

@@juliansevin9109 Wrong. In the bible lucifer is the angel who opposed god. And this is even disputed in various translations. It was really only the fantasy novel Paradise Lost which popularized the confusion between the two. But no where is the bible are the two names even remotely compared.

[@juliansevin9109]

@@arch92 your right "the satan" is a term that means "the adversary". In time it was used to describe the relationship of the "fallen one", lucifer, to mankind, which is, amongst other things, an "adversary". So lucifer is "the adversary" or "the satan". Which in modern times has become "satan", or "the devil". Peace.

Opeth: [very first second] AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Me: I’m already sold.

Mikael is very notorious for his AAAAAAAAAAAAAHs, in my opinion at least

[@roybatty4578]

I’ve listened to Opeth for so long it feels more like seeing a really good friend that lives overseas when they drop a new album. They were in my ears back in the 90s when I was a kid and life at home was tumultuous, in the 2000s when all I did was skate and smoke pot, in the early 2010s when I first became a father, and now I get to hear new Opeth the same week my son started second grade! I’m gonna make sure to blast the fuck out of this album in between breaks of watching Midsommar once that shit goes to DVD, GOD BLESS OPETH AND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SWEDES!

[@itsmartin02]

Hail Krampus I'm so happy to hear that Opeth has accompanied many of us through life! ♡

[@wheelchairjesus2406]

Curious, what is the correlation to this and Midsommar? I'm new to Opeth sorry for my ignorance.

[@roybatty4578]

There’s no need to apologize for a question lol. It’s a crude comparison on my part due to Opeth being Swedish and the film by Ari Aster taking place in Sweden. The movie is really pretty, and there’s a lot of shocking moments that bring up the imagery of death metal artwork, so naturally I’m gonna listen to their entire catalog and watch this film more than once this month lol

[@yourmothercalledshesaid]

I love your correlation between this album and Aster's follow up to his nightmare inducing breakout film. I regard both "Heriditary" and "Midsommar" as standout contemporary examples of the horror genre and raw proof not every scary flick has to be associated with James Wan at Blumhouse. A24 is gifting cinema goers with wonderfully bold movements. Seriously, anybody insane enough to finish reading this comment, if you have not had the pleasure of experiencing "Hereditary", "Midsommar", or "The Witch" and possess a love of all things taboo, do yourself some justice and see the aforementioned. Or not. Choices... I cannot wait for "The Lighthouse". I digress...

I really appreciate their decision to put out the whole album also in their native language. Sounds so much authentic to me.

[@urorazbojnik5678]

Opeth is the only band I listen without recognizing them...it's like every few years I click on one of the new things to see if I can still recognize this band...and I just can't...I'm listening it each time the way I listen bands I never heard off, like that careful listen with a finger on the mouse and mouse pointer on the "back" button, without much faith that the ear will like what it hears...and somehow that finger always ends up clicking away. It's like seeing someone who was once a best friend to you, only to recognize a stranger in his eyes and fall a pray to the emotion that dictates a retreat from him. Idk, no bad blood in case anyone is reading this, it's just that I don't recognize myself in this. It feels like reading a character I can't identify myself with...I'm glad to see others enjoy at least.

Between Tool, Opeth, and Soen, this is such an amazing year for Progressive Metal. And when you combine it with other sub-genre acts like Heilung, Cellar Darling, Rammstein, Sabaton, Amon Amarth, and Chelsea Wolfe, we have one of the best years for Metal in a very long time.

I like this better in Swedish, and I only speak English.

Not sure what people you've been talking to who say their mellow parts should not be in their music, but Opeth have always had mellow parts in their songs even during the death metal era. For example, "Silhouette" and "To Bid You Farewell."

Right, already people complaining about growls, and how it’s a “boring” song. Our culture of instant gratification and short attention spans demands easily digestible music. This song reminds me of Storm Corrosion which is a life partner for me. It took some time to appreciate it and now it’s one of my favorites. The same idiots hating on this song, also thought Storm Corrosion was boring. They’d rather have a mediocre uninspired rehash of the death metal albums, instead of constant musical evolution and creativity
