What I love about this is how Opeth is able to make an eerie and heavy song without the use of Death Metal vocals. Nothing against them using them in other songs but it's nice to see them know when to turn them off.

I found a Headbanger's Ball CD on the side of the road one day when I was a teenager. This song was on it, along with End of the World by god Forbid, Trigger Full of Promises by Walls of Jericho, Vulture by A Life One Lost, and Nothing Remains by Chimera. That whole CD was absolute gold. This song was the most brilliantly put together in the whole thing, and was my first Opeth as well

19toh63 that's what I said then everyone's like no you're a genius then I'm like no no, you're a genius then we all chuckle and swirl our brandy glasses
For me there is a slight bit of hope in there, like there is a struggle, light and darkness - either way, it's incredible! What do you think about Drapery Falls?
As for the freakout solo in "Porcelain heart" we just did maybe 20-30 takes. I lost the sense timing and rhythm (too complicated) since Axe is playing all over the place, and couldn't foresee when the part should end. Somehow Axe perfectly understood the "beat" and nailed it a number of times, but it wasn't crazy enough until we got what's on the album. It was basically standing ovations in the mixing room once we got that down. Fucking tricky shit, not studio trickery! - Mikael Akerfeldt

Watching the music video for burden followed by this on Mtv2 when I was a teenager made me fall in love with this band. And now I realize if Opeth wasn't so groundbreaking, my favorite band, BTBAM, may never have even made it to the light. Also, they are fellow swedes and will forever have a place in my heart. Thank you for all these beautiful pieces. Porcelain Heart following Burden is the perfect duo of soul shattering nasterpieces.
I remember when this first came out when Martin Axenrot joined the band and everyone was so hypercritical and condemned his drum fills and rhythms. 16 years later, you guys are absolute clowns and should be embarassed. This is INCREDIBLE.

Just got some acoustic panels for my Klipsch reference speakers and begun listening to Opeth in a new light. Two words describes this moment. “Holy F*ck!”
To me peak Opeth was Ghost Reveries, a masterpiece album, GOAT level, every moment of that album is incredible. Afterwards, there are moments of brilliance, like this piece, which is amazing, however, these moments seem to come far fewer between as you move forward through time.
@@alessa_cybergoth I did say there were flashes of brilliance afterwards... I also really liked Sorceress and Pale Communion. But those were mixed in with song that I really didn't enjoy. It's not like Ghost Reveries where you could play it forward to back, back to forward, and every song was is brilliance to me. For context, I didn't really enjoy a lot of their earlier stuff too, it's just Ghost Reveries is where Opeth and I gelled perfectly. I do that with other bands too like Lacuna Coil, I absolutely loved Karmacode, but most of their other stuff is meh and forgettable to me.
To an ordinary band writing this would've been a once in a lifetime achievement, while Opeth writes those on a regular basis
No joke, their music is legendary
TRUTH

Yes he’s welcome to prog!! But still.. he’s on point !

The whole album is eerie, and Akerfeldt made the song mellotron heart wich adds to the eerie feeling :)
Mellotron is one of my favourite instruments
If you notice, the guitars sound absoultley brutal without down tuning or excessive distortion. Just loud and powerful.
They made acoustic guitar sounds pure evil on a lot of there songs
"I've lost all I had that April day"
R.I.P dad, we used to listen to Opeth every single day, and you loved this song too.

Sorry for your loss. Stay strong today

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my loved one too and this one was "our" track. I come once in awhile to honour our sweet memories:

This is, I believe, a work of perfection.
The parts where he does 'Ahh..' feels like grieving to me, so intense.
it is, the song is about his late gf that committed suicide
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Axe's drum fill from 2:14 - 2:29 is incredible..... Sounds so off then he pulls it together..... 🤘🤘
4:57 I can't help myself... I burst into tears whenever I listen to this part.
Ahhhh nothing like some opeth at the end of the night
Actually metal is best when you listen at night
"Have you try turn off and on again?"
3:28 is one of the most powerful, mournful riffs I've ever heard.
You can't pass out while hearing this rif
@@antoinehemi4266 That's not what I meant.
Opeth are the Masters of Mourn!!
This part sounds like the first lead part from Under The Weeping Moon
For me there is a slight bit of hope in there, like there is a struggle, light and darkness - either way, it's incredible!
What do you think about Drapery Falls?
The first song I ever heard by them
Same
Same here. A very good way to start.
Welcome to the Opeth family. =]

My first Opeth song, "the discover". I love this!

10 years ago this was my favorite song by them. Nothing has changed a bit. 4:57 gives me chills
Pelin how old is this song? Lol
Andrei White 10 years old
4:57 - 6:10 is where it's at
This song is almost 15 years old
2:14. Axenrot solo *-*
2:13-2:29 Drums!!! :)
Absolutely stupid xD but i like it
4:57 - 6:10
The moment that you realize that the whole song in one hand and this part is another world!
I lost all I had (that April day),
I turned to my friends (nothing to say),
I wrote down a name (and read it twice),
I wallowed in shame.
I said that I loved (eternal schemes),

I promised to stay (and held my breath)
I went far away.
Icy roads beneath my feet,

Rest your head now, don't you cry,
Don't ever ask the reason why
Kept inside our idle race
Ghost of an idol's false embrace
Rest your head now, don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reasons why.
The bridge is sad and beautiful
A work of genius. Fits into many, many genres of music
one of the best Opeth songs
Listening to this song brings back so many memories. Still as good as the day i bought the CD. Still as good as the day I got to see it live.
I wallow in shame.
They are fine art!
3:26
Opeth is more than music, this is art!
Well.. I mean.. Music is a form of art

Chilling how the first vocal part of the song mimicks Closure in the Damnation Album.

Terribly sad I missed them when they came to the viking bar in Wellington.
Love this song.
So sad it's about a passing 💚
I like the part at at 4:57, because is totally like Still Life by Iron Maiden and Spiders by System of a Down.
3 years ago
i've heard lots of snippets from opeth that sounds like maiden, SOAD, tool, pink floyd etc
What a masterpiece
Don't you just want to close your eyes and relax when 4:57 hits?
Omg those drums!!
Amazing drums
What a great band …
It's simple... A Masterpiece.
it's not just a song, this is art!
Why is this albums so good?
Dislikers have absolutely no taste in this musical masterpiece
Haters are afraid of feeling emotion.
perhaps they just dont like it
Dislike = This I like 🤷🏽♂️
Dislikers generally don't like the drum fills in this song.
This shit is like a shot to the veins - flooding the bloodstream. 6:20 is when I've got it up to around 130db. Fuck-yeah Opeth!!
The grand conjuration 6:19
Deep feeling of sadness and sorrow, griefing over my past everyday.....
i can remember watching the music video for the grand conjuration on mtv x as a kid...little did i know how much i would come to love this band!

just to make sure
i write
and i wait longer
and then the sun WILL come.

just hold out....

Those drums are absolute madness. Time signatures galore! Jesus Christ what a good mind fuck that was!
What instrument is that at 5:20 ? So beautiful
That is done on the keyboard. Although with a nice combination of synth and reverb that gives rise to that feel!
It's almost certainly a Keyboard MIDI synth, but it's an oboe. Like a clarinet but "quackier".
synthetic reeds
That's definitely an oboe. Trust me I listen to a lot of classical music.

Hi everyone...
What kind of guitar starts at 2:30 ? sound is really beautiful
Classical guitar, nylon strings 😀
my previous question was, what brand of guitar does the singer Mikael Åkerfeldt use, in the songs: Burden and Porcelain Heart?
Oh sorry hahaha, probably at that time it was a Takamine or a Martin acoustic guitar, not sure 100%
@ probably PRS guitars.
I can't help but hear "I cling to Mike Pence" at 3:07
masterpiece
Everyone that started with this song please go back and listen to Blackwater Park, believe Steven Wilson helped produce. MASTERPIECE.
this song and album is good on its own right.
Epic
02:13 is that a fucking Polyrhythm? Because damn it was tasty. The drummer knows his shit.
