Time For an OPETH Reaction! | "Ghost of Perdition"

This is their best song. Having that said they have about other 50 best songs.

Okay this isn’t their best song. It’s one of their best songs. Now one of their top 5 songs would be along the lines of “the moor, blackwater park, heir apparent, the night and the silent water, black rose immortal, to bid you farewell, demon of the fall, face of Melinda, serenity painted death, harvest, the leper affinity, bleak, masters apprentices, harlequin forest, the grand conjuration,

Ghost Reveries is a goddamn fucking masterpiece. One of the greatest albums ever made.

[@mokuscsik]

And I second that

[@andrewhart9310]

Blackwater Park gets more press - and I understand why, given that Bleak and the title track are two of the greatest, most perfect metal songs ever written - but Ghost Reveries, from start to finish, is just as good IMO. I don't think there's another album out there that has a better opening track listing than Ghost/Baying/Mire. Those three songs are each masterpieces, and they're arguably not even the best songs on the album.

[@revylokesh1783]

"Still Life" was the album through which I discovered Opeth, shortly after its release. And while I enjoy most of their prior and subsequent stuff (up to a point), it still remains my favourite Opeth album.

I'm 61 years old and this is my #1 favorite song. Previous to that, it was Kashmir by Led Zeppelin which held my top spot from 1974 to this release. I love thrash metal, yet epic songs like Kashmir and Ghost of Perdition beat them. O[eth to me isn't about steady beats. It's about a flow which could go anywhere in each song they do. Some songs like The Funeral Portrait are more steady. You should check out the studio version of Deliverance which was when Martin Lopez was the drummer, and is on the top of my list of great songs.

If you've got to curate songs from albums (instead of going straight through, I'd go: Blackwater Park and Bleak Grand Conjuration and Harlequin Forest When The Moor and Godhead's Lament Porcelain Heart and the Lotus Eater Deliverance But really, it's almost easier to just say: "Listen to Damnation, Deliverance, Watershed, Still Life, Ghost Reveries, and Blackwater Park front to back, over and over, and throw away everything else you've ever heard."

Guitars, drums, vocals, bass, keyboards - listen to this song 5 times in a row and keep your attention on a different instrument each time and you'll get 5 magical journeys. This song is so perfectly orchestrated. Also it's a little tricky to headbang on this one first time because it goes through 6/8, 4/4, 12/8, 3/3 and you never know which one you're getting next. It's amazing.

Opeth over the years have become one of my all time favorite bands. It was a process, but the time has made me appreciate their work so much more. A special band indeed. Saw them with Mastodon the other day lol

[@soakedbearrd]

The first time I heard this song I was confused but most importantly intrigued. At that time I wasn’t a fan of growls period. But boy did opeth help pop that cherry for me. What I like best about Mikaels growls is that they have character. It’s not monotone, it has flavor and emotion. This piece takes about 5-10 listens to really appreciate. As with most of their music, it’s best to take small bites to savor the ingredients because large bites will overwhelm and sometimes confuse (because it’s different).

Every single Opeth album is really its own vibe. I really recommend for your own sake that you listen to their albums in their entirety, whether it be through reaction videos or just on your own. Though most of their songs are good on their own they are definitely ALL better when listening to it in the context of the album. As I saw a wise fellow viewer comment on another video somwhere, you do not simply put on an Opeth song. You put on an Opeth album. And looooved the reaction. Keep it up!

Your vocabulary to describe what you're hearing has expanded so much since your early days as purely a "hip-hop head." It's been so neat to have you share this adventure with us and watch/hear you understand the nuances, mainstays, and rule-breakers of the genre! I hope you continue to enjoy exploring and sharing! One cool thing about Opeth is that you'll be hearing something new every time you listen to them. One listen you'll catch the vocal harmonies and be like, the fuck?! How'd I not hear that before? Next it'll be little percussion flourishes; the next, the dynamics of the guitar parts. I swear, it never gets old.

I think it has around 25 songs from them, and none of them having any screaming or growling, they're all pretty chill songs.

@Muck Why have you been shitting on all my posts for a few days? So much hate in you, you should relax, and maybe try to find a constructing way to channel your anger. Just saying...

[@GileadMaerlyn]

@Muck And you clearly have no open-mindedness. Being passionate doesn't mean you have to harass me everytime I post. When you see a message with which you disagree, you can just think that you disagree, maybe answer and express your disagreement in a polite and constructive way. But you sir, have been shitting on all my posts, you clearly have anger issues and you are very ill-mannered. Also, you are bad advertisement for the bands you seem to promote, nobody wants to listen to a rude know-it-all like yourself.

"You don't know what to expect with Opeth" Greatness Alex. Greatness.

[@HellBrYnger]

how about you react to some "Bloodbath", Mikael Åkerfeldt's (front singer of Opeth) and many other's side project Death Metal band.

[@Cuckoorex]

Ghost of Perdition was the first Opeth song I ever heard, back when Ghost Reveries first came out. I had to keep checking to see if it was still the first track! It's like 5 or 6 songs in one. Awesome!

[@KenBober]

Jinjer disclosure please

[@deathmetaldungeon429]

First caught Opeth wayyyyyy back 1999 in a pub in High Wycombe,my mates and me were blown away been massive fans ever since growls and clean vocals,I can’t fault them,shame drummer Martin Axenrot have just left the band,gonna be weird not seeing him behind the kit after 15 years,roll on November next year,check out The Drapery Falls,Bleak,Face of Melinda and Will O The Wisp 👍🏻

[@GraemeRoberts]

Opeth are the masters of using acoustic sections in otherwise heavy tracks. They prove that it's possible to make music that is both brutal and beautiful.

[@HenryDarr]

Why do I enjoy watching reactions to this song so much !?!

[@kris_kwas]

All for more Opeth reactions. I LOVE that you said it didn’t feel like 10 minutes. That’s a big thing for me with Opeth. It doesn’t feel unnecessarily long like Tool (forgive me). Blackwater Park is an incredible song. Harvest, Drapery Falls, Dirge for November, Funeral Portrait, and Bleak are also ones you should check out. Guess you can tell what my favorite album is 😅

[@couchcaptain9379]

I saw Opeth for the first time February of 2020, right before...well, we all know. THAT WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN. They are incredible live! If I could I would see them at least once a year until they are done touring. If you have a chance to see them live, GO! You will not regret it!

[@i_am_jacky8816]

You are so funny 🤣 just love your funniness, your sense of humour and the life lessons/advise you give.... On top of listening to music. Thank you!

[@thescottallen]

Your first reaction is why I started listening to Opeth. Looking forward to this one!

[@tunein9001]

De-Li-Ve-Rance - Absolutely must check this song next their best, studio version - Opeth fans will get the "-" reference Opeth - Deliverance

[@MrTelorix]

[@amandadahlgren5524]

Nice to hear your opinion on Opeth! Now.. give a listen to some of the best song ever made Reverie/ Harlequin forest. Always gives me the chills ❤️
