    Last show i went to Mikael actually asked everyone to keep their phones away during the show. But he gave the crowd a couple mins to take photos and he made all sorts of funny poses. Freaking legend.

    Guys, the crowd is in a fucking trance, they're 100% immersed in the songs they love while they're being played. That's how a crowd really paying attention looks.

    I have been in many an Opeth crowd. As fans, we typically are entranced while watching the prowess they bring to each instrument. One cannot mosh and stand transfixed. We choose the latter.
    Needless to say, it is a different kind of appreciation. It’s more of an eyes like hubcaps, jaw agape type of appreciation. Ya follow? What you saw was a crowd LOVING that shit. Hahahaha

    It’s hard to mosh and get crazy when you’re seated. They’re from Sweden 🇸🇪. Michael and Jonas from Katatonia went to high school together. Early Opeth started as Swedish black metal and have grown into a more progressive metal band over time.

    Opeth was formed as a death metal band in 1989 in Stockholm, Sweden, by lead vocalist David Isberg. The band name was derived from the word "Opet", taken from the Wilbur Smith novel The Sunbird. In this novel, Opet is the name of a fictional Phoenician city in South Africa translated as "City of the Moon".

    since the 90's I have been jamming Opeth using "tape trading" something we did in the early days before the internet was a thing. The cool thing is back in the MYSPACE days, I got to tell Mikael Ackerfeld (the lead singer) that I wanted their song HARVEST played at my funeral. Mikael responded to me personally to say that he hopes my funeral will not come any time soon and thanked me. I know it's a small thing, but I'm happy my favorite band knows my intentions.

    I "discovered" this band about two years ago. I was listening to a Tool song on UA-cam while cooking. The song ended but I couldn't change songs due to a lot of bbq sauce on my hands so I let it play. Opeth came on with the song "Sorceress". I became an instant fan. I now own maybe a third of their albums and can't wait to complete the collection.

    Opeth are Swedes :)
    Their name derives from the novel "The Sunbird" by Wilbur Smith where there is a fictional city called "Opet", the city on the moon.
    To make the word a bit more "english-sounding", they just added the h.
    BTW their style is considered Progressive Death Metal (not even close to Power Metal 😊) at least the older stuff...
    The most recent stuff, well...
    I'm not sure if it's still metal anyhow.

    Their live performances are amazing, but you should try some studio songs. The growls hit different.
    Blackwater Park or To Bid You Farewell is a good contrast between their progressive death metal and melodic style. Their later style is more 70s prog inspired, I'd suggest Moon Above, Sun Below.

    Guys. Consider doing the studio version of these songs as you get further down the line with Opeth. It really captures the nuances of the music much more fully. Also, Bleak is one of my favorite songs of all time and trust me the studio version is better than what you just heard. For the next Opeth reaction, I recommend Serenity Painted Death off their Still Life album. Another masterpiece. Anyways, Cheers and keep up the good work!

    Opeth are ABSOLUTELY in the progressive metal genre. Go through their entire discography and then they aren't they started out with two Black metal albums and have slowly morphed into a heavy version of Yes! in the last 20 years. And if you dont know who Yes! are, they are one of the most prominent prog rock bands on the planet. You guys should check out their album Watershed for a full display of the prog-ness!!!

    It's a different kind of metal audience that goes to see Opeth. It's music fans that are there to appreciate the music itself. Same as the kind of music fans that go to Dweezil Zappa and his band. People that want to be blown away by extremely talented players. Another great Opeth tune to check out would be "Reverie/Harlequin Forest".

    Ghost of perdition is the next logical reaction by Opeth. Its usually the go-to Opeth song that reaction channels react to first. Personnally id love to see you guys react to it but the live version from 2006 at the roundhouse tapes where his growls were god-tier. In your reaction, Mikaels growls were not on point and its actually recorded 1 year before they changed their sound, never to growl again in a studio album.

    I love this song, one of their best, the studio track is notably different as some of the clean vocals are sung by the producer/guest vocalist Steven Wilson which produces an interesting back and forth with Mikael Akerfeld. Your right about them being Swedish, and the flag was for Norway, for the first 15 years the band was very much in the Progressive Metal genre but for the last 10 they've been playing a 70's prog/hard rock sound and dropped the extreme metal side of things, though still perform the old songs live.
    I've seen them live about 5 times now, you don't really get the moshpits at an Opeth gig but everyone is definitely paying close attention to them nd are fully into it. I'd suggest When for another look at their earlier material and Moon Above, Sun Below for what they're currently like.

They’re able to figure out how likely a winning hand will come for them from their initial cards, they tried to explain stuff to me but I studied Ancient Greek philosophy man I understand Plato’s arguments in the republic but start talking about stats and my brain starts thinking about what would happen if sharks grew legs.
