I learned to appreciate growls listening to Opeth... because they are such outstanding musicians. With Opeth , think of the vocals like parts in a gothic opera ,each character represented in its own styling.
Harlequin Forest will make you break down and cry. It has some of the most delicate and emotional transitions of all their songs. Opeth is a journey....
Yeah, same with me. It lasted for nearly a year. I had trouble listening to "simple" music once I was so deep into Opeth. You know what "saved" me? The White Stripes. Because they're the other end of the spectrum. Totally minimalistic. After that year, first delving into Opeth and then into The White Stripes, my perception and reception of music had changed profoundly. I could now enjoy simple verse-chorus-verse structures as well as full-blown progressive epics. Just be in the moment with the music, enjoy every part for what it is, don't just wait for the chorus. If a part get's repeated, that's fine. If not, that's also fine. Just enjoy the ride :)
@@bernhardkrickl3567 As if you took my words from my mouth! That same thing happened to me, but the band that "saved" me was Halestorm - I love them both, although they are "the north and the south pole"! I think I learned myself how to switch smoothly between the music I listen to and I'm really proud of it, because it's not that easy to listen to Django Reinhardt right after Cannibal Corpse, lol.
@@ГеоргиРадулов-э5ш I love these contrasts :) Especially when I buy music from wildly different artists at the same time I get a strange kind of joy out of that :) I totally get what you're saying. Although I don't exactly listen to Django Reinhardt and Cannibal Corpse, I can offer Joscho Stephan and Bloodbath. Should be pretty close ;)
Opeth is great. They combine prog and atmosphere in a unique way. Not simple show-off but the music is first. Great reaction, you made me smile all along. Stay safe, man!
It was a pleasure seeing you getting your brain fried. I was smiling pretty much in this one. Maybe the reason for your anger is that Joey showed them so late to you 🤣
From my experience, there is only a couple of times in life that you hear a band that changes everything in your "music" world. Opeth is one of those bands. I first heard this song two years ago while listening to Slayer radio on Pandora when I was out running. I literally stopped to look at my phone to see what band and song was playing.....I went down the Opeth rabbit hole for 9 months. Get ready for an increadible journey.
I bought my 1st Opeth album back in 1999. It was "Still Life", After more than one minute of an intro I thought "OK, I was expecting something different" But then the acoustic guitars came and the growling and everything that is Opeth. :-) What a band !!!
The best introduction to Opeth is probably the near universally loved Harlequin Forest, because it's both so accessible and a masterpiece. The kind of song that many rank as one of their Opeth favorites from the first time they heard, and still ten years later.
Me searching Harlequin Forest on youtube brought me here, so listen to that one too!! This makes me SO HAPPY ON SO MANY LEVELS!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 and then i went on to listen to Ghost of Perdition in the car. Bravo Joey!
Wellcome to my very own Rabbithole, where I get mad at myself every now and then for all the missed chances to see Opeth live 😖 I only got o see them 11 times in 20 years... not enough! Maybe you're angry because Joey did show opeth to you so late in your young life? Keep on listening! They are so versatile and changed their style drasticly over the years... ghost of perdition is one of the 'older' ones... and it is fairly simple in regards of writing and composing... it is a masterpiece, but there are even more complex Opeth Songs out there...just saying 🤣😇🥰
Opeth is basically a genre unto themselves. The were never the heaviest death metal band. Mikael's clean vocals, while beautiful aren't technically perfect. His gutteral vocals don't pack the brutal lows of Corpsegrinder's. Yet somehow they manage to be one of, if not the best progressive metal band of all time. I myself could never get into growled vocals until I gave Opeth a real chance to grow on me they opened the door to not only death metal, but progressive, folk and jazz fusion band's like Weather Report. It is my belief that someone who can't find something in their music to appreciate is not a well rounded music fan.
Just bumped into your reaction... already subscribed ✌️Great reaction, honest and funny at the same time! Loved it! Please do more reactions to Opeth (first time listens) That was awesome 😎
First time I saw them live it was with a friend of mind that studied music at the University. He cried during the concert because he'd never reach the heights of these guys. Great reaction! Try Deliverance, Harlequin Forest, Blackwater Park or Burden
Perhaps the anger comes from, not only hearing something like this for the first time (mind blown) and then the realization that only a very small percentage of metal bands, are at this level. The awareness that you, or I, could never reach that level of musicianship. It's truly a spiritual experience. To be open to it, is to be liberated, in countless ways, because what you experience affects every aspect of your life, from that point on. Let that anger go. Rise from the ashes to a new awareness. On and on it goes. Amen
Kol khara cracked me the fuck up! 😂 I've spent a year helping refugee kids from Syria here in The Netherlands and you know you've done a good job when the kids teach you the Arabic for "eat shit". Also: I've loved Opeth for the last 20odd years and your reaction captures the essence pretty well. Good job Arabman 👍🤘
If you stare at a bright light long enough its not so bright. By mixing the growl and the singing voice they both end up sounding more beautiful and interesting.
I discovered your channel as I am locked in my quarantine dungeon with COVID, and you are helping me through. Great insights and great personality. I am so glad you are getting to Opeth. Thank you, Arab Man Reacts!
One of the most beautiful concert venues in the US....open air amphitheater in the Red Rocks just west of Denver....up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountians.....looking east. So when you are sitting there, your view goes to the stage and then past that out to the plains..the lights of the city in the distance and the night sky. I went to a couple of concerts there when in college back in 1969/70......great place.
I regret my early 2000’s music taste... that I didnt get into them back then 💔 now they are my favorite band, post heritage and pre heritage love them all around 🔥
You wanna hear opeth on pcp Vektor- tetrastructural minds lcd(liquid crystal disease) Charging the void Recharging the void Collapse Black future Slugdge- salt thrower Pellet to the brain Transylvanian fungus Rivers of nihil- subtle changes Death is real Where owls know my name
His moving back and forth in vocal style reminds a bit of Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, who can sing softly and then go into screams.....Ditto Robert Plant... It’s great for a band to have such a vocalist because it adds so much texture. This is first time I’ve heard Opeth....I’m not into growls, but damn, they’re fantastic musicians, and I love his “straight” voice......they change meter as much as Tool! Impressive. Oh, and by the way......”perdition” is the same as Hell.
It is unbelievable everything you think you have discovered an Opeth song and it enters your top 3 you hear another and your confused amazed and blown away...
Kardavox Academy is another youtube reactor that analyzes metal vocals and grants insights on them as a vocal coach and metal singer. I'd look at his videos to learn some appreciation for growls.
As I'm sure others will mention, Opeth no longer record tunes with harsh vocals. All albums after "Heritage" (2011) are cleanly sung. However, they do still perform the old tunes live, as this performance comes from the current prog metal era. I discovered Opeth during this time the prog era, and like you, did not enjoy growls, and purposely avoided them. I hear the tune "Will O the Wisp" and was intrigued, as it's hauntingly beautiful. That led me to explore the back catalog, and while I still prefer clean vocals, Mikael Åkerfeldt's ability to go from the demonically brutal to heartachingly beautiful is stunning. I saw my first live Opeth show last year, and I've never seen such a masterful display of musicianship live. There isn't any running around on stage, just incredible badassery, with Mikael throwing in some very dry wit between tunes. For the most part, Mikael is Opeth, doing the bulk of the writing. It's complex musically, thematically, and spiritually. If you enjoy his clean singing, the last 3 albums are some of my personal favorites, but they all are worth your time.
I'm going to admit. I almost didn't click this video, because I assumed "Arab Man Reacts" was going to be a bit. A caricature exaggerated for goofs. Honestly the intro titles didn't help. But I'm glad I clicked, and I'm glad I kept watching. You've got a great personality that made this a joy to watch, and a new subscriber because of it. Also uh, I guess obligatory "Opeth is great" post as well.
I feel like I'm going to learn Arabic if I keep watching this channel, subscribed! Great reaction too! Opeth being my favorite band, more Opeth please! I highly recommend the band Ne Obliviscaris too, especially their live performance of "And Plague Flowers the Kalidoscope" Many Opeth fans are Ne Oblviscaris for the same reasons for each.
Ooh, love those proggy creative mind-boggling tune and style variations without the superfluous fluff and drama of ... well, some other metal sub-genres. Thanks for exploring this one and adding your signature comments-sauce. Cheerio! I suspect you may like Leprous as well. ;)
Mr. Mikael Åkerfeldt Is one of the best Growlers in the world of Metal, with Tomi Joutsen and Dan Swano . You should Try Towards and Against from Amorphis. Twilight from Edge of Sanity. And Maybe a little bit of BloodBath in Wacken with Mr Mikael Åkerfeldt, but there, no clean vovals. Enjoy if you try. Bless U.
7:00 I looked up some definitions to best explain it and this bit was the simplest: " Farther has one meaning, further has three. Further/farther means more distant. [Both in space and time] "It was a long way, farther than I expected." Further (or furthermore) also means "additionally". "Furthermore, I have a better idea." Last, "further" also means to advance. "I wish to further my career.""
Opeth did a really interesting track on their Sorceress album called "The Seventh Sojourn" that has a crazy classical middle eastern style of sound, and I highly would recommend
Blackwater Park was their turning point as a band, in great part I think to their producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree). He also produced Deliverance and Damnation. Those three albums were a turning point creatively for them it seemed and all three are masterpieces. Their drummer at the time was incredible too.
"Could you be less good?" was the question I had when I first listened to Opeth:)). I also have a band suggestion: Myrath (specifically Tales of the Sand album) :D
Dude - you're hilarious! I know why you're angry - you've gone through life without this being part of it all along your journey. Totally enjoyed watching your reaction to this. HAHAHA! My brain hurt the first time I heard this band & every release after my first listen, it all kept getting crazier & crazier. All you can do is sit back, enjoy & wonder...
This would have to be one of my favourite reactions of all time lol. When your brain just won't comprehend what it's hearing, I guess that might make you mad - but funny as fuck to watch. Welcome to Opeth man!
You were mad because as you said in the beginning; there was something about Opeth that you didn't like even tho you never heard them before. So, you were expecting to find something to dislike, failed, and got mad about it😂 great reaction!
HELLO FROM NEW ENGLAND....THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN AROUND 20+YRS AND ARE TRUE LEGENDS...I WATCHED UR GOJIRA VID AND IF LIKED THAT SONG THEN LISTEN TO THE EXTENDED VERSION OF PRAY FROM THAT CONCERT...JUST YOUTOOB SEARCH GOJIRA LIVE A RED ROCKS 2017..THAT WHOLE SHOW WILL.MAKE.YOU AN INSTANT FAM BOY..I LOVE SEEING PLL FIRST REACTIONS TO THE MIGHTY BEAST CALLED GOJIRA
I think you should react to studio version Opeth to really listen to all the little details they put in their songs. I'd recommend for the 2nd listen the song with the most beautiful bass-line they wrote (imho) Opeth - The Drappery Falls
@@ArabManReacts he means the Shepard bush performance from 2003 when mikaels growls were 10 times more evil and his singing was even softer and more innocent (he was a lot younger than this 2018 redrocks performance)
The further/farther question becomes even more complicated when measuring time as a distance using light years. Totally tongue-in-cheek comment; astrophysicists please don't belittle and humiliate me. Oh yeah Opeth, fucking banging dude.
I appreciate the open-mindedness considering you were perhaps a bit skeptical to begin with. But the "cute, tidy, god-fearing" thing had me fucking cackling. great vid
Such a nice and genuine reaction. Welcome to the rabbithole of Opeth. I know why you were angry🙂 It's probably that you just discovered them while they exist for 30 years now😄🤘

With Opeth , think of the vocals like parts in a gothic opera ,each character represented in its own styling.
Yeah, Opeth and Gorija was the bands that got me into death metal
Same, Opeth and Gojira and some folk metalbands and children from finland
Ah Opeth. An incredible group of musicians. And their catalog is diverse and complex. This makes me happy.
Joakim's (keyboard player) backing vocals really bring the clean vocals on another level. Complements Mikael's cleans so well
Harlequin Forest, Face of Melinda and The Moor are also amazing live performances
Spot on. :) I would add "Demon of the fall"
Blackwater park does it for me. Probably the best prog metal song off all time. Opeth is just amazing!
I'd go for "The moor"
@@waldmeister0815 You know where its at
Omfg....Blackwater park is still the BIG DADDY for sure. That album kills as well...perfection
@@DavidSmith-fz2xk Indeed!
Harlequin Forest will make you break down and cry. It has some of the most delicate and emotional transitions of all their songs. Opeth is a journey....
love your reaction man! hope you will react more Opeth❤️😂
Getting introduced to Opeth is like being ran over by undeniable talent. It takes a few listens to get over it and actually enjoy the song.
That's the best Opeth reaction I've seen yet. Great job man!
there was a point in my life that i couldn't listen anything but opeth, they are just that good lol

@@ArabManReacts Hearing Opeth for the first time is like having a second birth! I understand your reaction, it's completely normal, believe me! 🤣👍
Nice job dude !.. you just started your journey with them !..
That was a fun reaction. Might I suggest Opeth - Deliverance live from Shepard’s Bush. It’s a lot of fun
It;s on the list!
As a 50 year old who has loved this band since I was about 28, its always fun to see a new convert.

LOVE your reaction man :) felt the same when I first heard it. Can’t believe that this is live...
Mikael Akerfeldt is my favorite vocalist by far. His growls give me chills every time!
