Opeth - The Moor (from Still Life)

[@rinozisa9396]

Still Life is that type of album that ages like Whiskey. Gets better the older it is. 1999-2003 Opeth will always be my favorite era.

[@billyboy9810]

1988-2001 for me. Those three albums were like a 21 year old Glengoyne. Give them enough time and you shall be rewarded.

[@dakotaotero4245]

Straight the fuck up; and the embodiment of that sentiment is at 7:21 and onward

[@w-james9277]

I love all their albums but their golden era was 1998 -2008. I cant get enough of that progressive, brutal, weird, melodic, psychedelic death metal sound. If you're interested there's another band called Be'Lakor who are also making a similar sound at the moment. Their album "Stones Reach" is a masterpiece!

[@avelinopereira9773]

1996-2008 for me

[@kasentony1574]

InstaBlaster...

[@Mohit-gq2sv]

I like how the intro is the most ominous piece I have ever heard, and then at 01:50 it has the most beautiful acoustic interlude followed by a riff at 02:30 that will make you headbang so hard your neck will fall off, and then some of the most intense demonic growls at 03:28 . Opeth are masters of layering music

[@SteelKicker01]

ooh yeah!

[@martingeorgiev999]

and then 4:27 such a beautiful evil lead melody accompanying all the heavy madness

[@MartinMcEvoy]

Timeless classic, will never get old

[@RagingInsomniac]

man, this is the best death metal ive heard. definitely adding some opeth to my playlist.

[@newcomerjason7791]

The sigh of summer upon my return Fifteen alike since I was here Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail Snuffing the first morning rays Weary from what might have been ages Still calm with my mind at peace Would I prosper or fall, Drain the past The lapse of the moment took its turn I was foul and tainted, Devoid of faith Wearing my death-mask at birth The hands of God, Decrepit and thin Cold caress and then nothing I was taken away from my plight A treason bestowed to the crowd Branded a jonah with fevered blood Ungodly freak, Defiler Pale touch, Writhing in the embers Damp mud burning in my eyes All the faces turned away And all would sneer at my demise Outcast with dogmas forged below Seared and beaten, Banished from where I was born No mercy would help me on my way In the pouring rain nothing is the same Vows in ashes I pledge myself to no-one Seethed and spiteful All shudder at the call of my name If you'll bear with me You'll fear of me There is no forgiveness in these eyes For any of you but one Dispel the mist for now Melinda is the reason why I've come She is waterdrops over the pyre A thistle in my hands Stained and torn, Aged and brown Virtuous shell with kindred innocence I awoke from the miasma Passing swiftly through the moor This is here, Waters stir And in the distance all that was lost If you'll bear with me You'll fear of me You'd never leave me to A fate with you

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums.

[@casperHeyzeus]

this song/album was my introduction to opeth. i started buying my dying bride and anathema albums and decided to check out everything else that was on peaceville. i was not ready for how awesome this album is when i was 14.

[@RohannvanRensburg]

I discovered this record when I was 22 and it still felt like I was completely immersed into another world. The ambience is unreal on this record.

[@casperHeyzeus]

+Rohann van Rensburg it doesn't matter what age so long as you enjoy

[@RohannvanRensburg]

My point is that I think even now if I discovered this I would still be blown away. This is a standard for atmosphere. I typically listen to this record in mid-October and every time I hear it I hear new things and it blows me away.

Still Life! Still my Favorite of all the Opeth Albums!

Don't go wasting your emotion, Lay all your love on me.

Mikael once danced with Agneta ("the dancing queen") from ABBA.

[@avelinopereira9773]

ahhn yes i noticed it yoo

[@collinbeal]

Holy shit

[@ClaudioRowe]

[@devinplayseverything3764]

Yeah, now that I think about it…. Still Life is a really great album

[@uwupullamaha]

Not just great but VERY GRRRREAT👌🤘

[@Sparkylmfaoooo]

It's an alright album. (It's fucking peak.)

[@aishwarytripathi6996]

The riff transition at 7:48 is so fucking cool.

[@Wolfnstone]

When classical composition and metal smush parts and make an epic baby.

[@artsy_marcypan]

My neck hurts from headbanging... this song is too good for my health!

[@pendragon5573]

God I love that intro...

[@nermyahia9255]

this one is a better quality that many others

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

I love Opeth. The Opening of this song reminds me of Pokemon XD Gale Of Darkness. At the cemetery.

[@nthn6832]

3:26 that is an introduction

[@silverburst79]

I randomly bought this album the week it came out because I liked the artwork lol A couple years later I’m in a pub in Sydney after an Opeth show drinking with mikael and Peter , they wernt that big a deal then , Peter was telling me he goes to bed with Metallica on and headphones LmAO They both drink gin and tonic btw

[@gerhitchman]

[@turgen3416]

ITS EPIC AMAZING

[@Mieczywsad]

Something wrong is happening in 5:08. Right channel becoming quieter in opposite to left one. And in 5:31 drummer's cymbals also fading away in right channel. This happening until to 5:43 and again rapidly fading... This is ruining listener's comfort.

[@Zuracooking]

Yeahh it disturbed me as well, thought i was the only one

[@doughbag2951]

The issue is also present in the original recording, but because the mastering here is louder it became more pronounced.

[@johnnysins1171]

Not sure what yall are on about, I don't hear it at all

[@xavilangley]

7:37

[@williamclarke5157]

Still life. The only Opeth album you need.

[@dukeofhazard1142]

Not really..

[@patrickwalsh7356]

DukeofHazard11 Yea i agree, i mean Deliverance, Black water park, Ghost reveries...so yea lol

[@wolfydafloof1720]

William Clarke while I agree that this album is great , I have to disagree. There are many great opeth albums :).

[@brandongarcia1349]

I need all of Opeth’s albums

no wonder people hate metal.

[@sabihsafwat9390]

Tampon burning in my eyes

[@OrchardFox]

Okey, so opeth is my favorite band, but ugh if i didn't wish for some ACTUAL remasters... These are still brickwalled, like the OG. They still make you turn down the volume on the quieter parts because the mastering is so loud, so those parts are as loud as the metal parts... They should do it like they did on pale communion tbh (talking about sound quality, not sound of the album) the mastering there is very good! Sorceress is too bassy imo

[@lillaxxitiv1501]

It sounds fine to me.

[@collinbeal]

Yeah Pale Communion has beautiful mastering.

[@Heatwave9000]

They're are still mixing problems on their latest album tbh.

[@OrchardFox]

@@Heatwave9000 i agree. Except for on Pale Communion and Heritage, i like the production there

[@gareginasatryan6761]

Wonder if the guitar is downtuned. I hear some d notes

[@josephchavez5361]

yeah down tuned you do hear the d string good ear you have😃 peace to you

[@vinchenzoish]

the song isnt down tuned

[@vinchenzoish]

some parts are pretty heavily based in D minor though

[@thiagobelline]

Opeth can make E standard sounds like drop B

fuck off, all of their albums are good. just because they are not death metal does not mean they aren't good.
