At least one Opeth song a day keeps the doctor away.
Good...I'm set for the rest of my life!!!
So my therapist doesn't count, then?
@@andreasjohansson1952 so damn true !!
@@andreasjohansson1952 nah man, I'm Canadian. They're getting gov't money here lol
Updated: You mean the coronavirus? :P
The drumming, especially that amazing long ending, is EXQUISITE in this song.
I love Martin "Axe" Axenrot, and he brought a new interesting sound to Opeth, but Martin Lopez had a sort of "subtle grandiosity". His work on My Arms Your Hearse was absolutely brilliant, and it's my favorite album. It was sad that he left the band but with what he was dealing with at the time i completely understand, and i hope he is doing better these days (i am aware that his departure was like 10 yrs ago lol).
@@claudegibson7650 Did you listen to Soen's new single? It's beautiful and the drumming is quite intoxicating.
@@sebyperion actually i haven't heard anything from them that I'm aware of. I've heard a lot about them, i just never got around to checking them out.
@@claudegibson7650 Perhaps it is time, bro. :)
@@sebyperion not sure if it's the song you were speaking of but i listened to the song Locust and i have to say... My god dude what was i listening to?!! That was absolutely beautiful! It wasn't at all what i expected, it was sooo much more!! The guitar, my god the guitar. I've been playing for 13+ years and that was so inspiring.
Mikaels comment on the last song at the concert Monday evening was: "This is the last song but on the other hand it's 3-4 weeks long so you need take a few vacation days in advance!" 😊
Blackwater Park
Yes
Yes
Yup.
Yass
MMmmmmmmMmmMMMmyessssss
Blew me away! Never listened to Opeth before this
So glad you enjoyed it! 🤗💖✊🏾🤘🏾
Oh boy, you've officially entered an inescapable rabbit hole of greatness.
You've been missing out bro 👍
You're in for a treat if you decide to start listening more of them, which I highly suggest you do 😎👍
Two words: Blackwater Park.
You're welcome.
GHOST OF PERDITION!!!!
Definitely. Deliverance, Ghost of Perdition and Master's Apprentices are my fav Opeth tracks. Nice mixes of heavy and soft.
Yesss!!
"What if prog riffs, but giving the listener enough time to figure it out?" The Song.
Opeth are the undisputed masters in switching from extremely calm to extremely aggressive and back again. Never have I found a band that could switch the same way.
I defend the tone at the start by saying that it's meant to sound uncomfortable. It's to load up the unease from the start before bringing in some contrast. The opening riff has one of the guitars rapidly play a single note on 2 different strings, then slide up to the tritone on one of those strings, a classic 'evil' sounding interval. Same as the intro to 'One Winged Angel' from Final Fantasy VII, very evil, uncomfortable and ominous sound to set the scene for what's to come.
It's common for people who aren't musicians and especially guitarists to complain about "tone" when in this case it's dissonant chords. That generally can throw people off and they don't enjoy it. I'm a 20 year guitarist veteran and have play basically every amp and chord and I find even Opeth's dissonance to be pleasing to the ear. Some people don't. Not a big deal but when people say " the tone is bad" they just dont understand music.
That ending hypnotized me into being an Opeth fan. It was stuck in my head for WEEKS after i first heard it
You know, the first song I heard from Opeth was Deliverance. Years ago my roommate played it constantly. And it took me like 20 times of hearing it before I learnt it's genuosety. After that, I fell in love with Opeth.
Opeth was a very slow burn for me too. I absolutely HATED them the first time i heard them. But something kept me going back for more. Now they are my favorite band of all time for over 10 years.
@@ruinsane100 Same here, but i was so impressed with the instrumentation i kept coming back to it every once in a while until it clicked. My favorite band now!
This was the 1st Opeth album I bought in high school and it took a good while to grow on me to the point where I love it but I'm so thankful for my younger self's persistence!!!!
I think opeth is a hard band for allot of people to get into because it is so complicated not only in term of technicality but also in emotional responses. Its uncomfortably beautiful, it throws you off.
@@Esmeagolly That's a good way to put it.
Opeth is a great band to put headphones on and listen too while tripping
How was it?
yeah curious, asking for a friend.
I actually find them soothing and quite therapeutic. Something about the atmosphere they create that's dark yet strangely comforting.
First time I heard Opeth I was tripping on a combination of DXM and really good Acid. Still life album. Was an amazing trip.
@@mrcleglaw256 I listened to this off of 500Ug of acid. Can't even describe with words how fucking amazing it sounded.
Opeth and Tool. My two all time favourite bands. ☺️ I love the complex music. Tickles my ears better. 😁
Oh and the new album: It's more like old classic 70's sounds. Even some jazzy vibes. Do listen to Bannemannen (swedish version). They released their newest album in english and in swedish.
You should listen to the the album Sacred White Noise by Thantifaxath! Absolute masterpiece of proggy black metal!
+1 Best groups in the world
Give chance to Porcupine Tree and their albums like In Absentia, Fear Of The Blank Planet, and Deadwing.
Love the way HLS can hear, process and comprehend more complex metal tunes.
And she has the sexiest lips on the internet. ♥️
🤭 Thank you 🙃😌💖
@@HalfLifeSistah You're most welcome. Keep bringing great reactions and spreading the word of metal. \m/
They play it on E.
I was so used to drop D tones. Opeth schooled me with their music.
I used to always think like that. Then I wanted to learn this track and Hex Omega. That's when I noticed most of their heavy stuff is in E std.
The best outro in metal history. Period.
Remembrance by Gojira tho
That's solid, but not quite as good
You mean Heir Apparent outro, right?
It depends on the person my favourite outro is Perenial Quest by Death it's just so atmospheric and melancholic
@@matteopriotto5131 the art of dying
I've seen Opeth twice live, the second time it was like they were playing a CD. One of the tightest bands i have seen in my life (and they were many!)
Good to hear for a Swed!
They are VERY tight live. Saw them twice.
The ending riff is easily the best part of the song, but I enjoy the entire song. Also, Harvest by Opeth is a great cuddling song.
Not so easily. 1:15-2:55 of the actual track time for me. Peaks early I know. But I love it.
Opeth - Blackwater Park! =)
Hell yeah!
Love the genuine happy expressions on her face :)
You can actually pinpoint the moment when Wolfkain let's the music in and begins to understand
Bleak with the vocalist of porcupine tree
Wolf if you listen to opeth - black rose immortal you will be impressed
Yes!!!
You need to try "Leper Affinity" by Opeth from the album Blackwater Park.
This is one of their quintessential albums & showcases alot of the bands variety of styles.
Opeth is quite possibly the very best band of all time.Their diversity is unrivaled.They can do everything from cookie monster death metal to soaring acoustic harmonies to jazz to blues to classical, sometimes all in the same song!Such amazing talent & prowess from ALL the members of this tour de force of musical excellence.
It's no fluke, no autotune just pure listening pleasure as they reproduce it live faithfully all the time.
YAAAY OPETH!!!! This day is BEST! :D Thanks
Awwweee🤗💖
19:00 What Wolf said is what I find to be one of the best things about progressive music. Understanding the brilliance of something that might not have fully sinked in when you heard it for the first time. Generally it's more rewarding and longer lasting than the type of instant satisfaction you get from more straight up songs. There's a lot to unpack musically and that's why I tend to get way more out of progressive music. People often say you can't headbang to prog and I couldn't disagree more. In fact, you'll be headbanging in 4 directions instead of 2 once you get the hang of it! :D
Check out Serenity Painted Death from Opeth Still Life album.
Best headbanging riffs out there
A man of culture I see
Opeth's best solo in this song
I would love to see The Moor!
Probably my favorite song of all time.
@@DeathByGeek Mine too.
Its a top tune! Up with leper affinity!
I LOVE the thought bubbles! When people in reaction videos talk a lot about what they think during the first listen, I feel like they're often kind of snapping out of the immersiveness of the song (which doesn't really make the song justice). This inner experience of what the mind thinks and which details of the song that are sticking out during which parts is just what I'm looking for. Just awesome!
Yeah Opeth! I just came home from seeing Opeth in concert in Stockholm. Deliverance was the last song on the set and it was awesome.. that ending always kicks ass live 🤘
The amazing part about this song is that it was all done in an E standard tuning.
Somehow I don't have any problem getting into new prog songs at first listen. I guess I love to surrender and let the song pull me into the darkness and lift me back up into the light, then throw me around in their musical and emotional rollercoaster. ❤ Just let it GRAB you!
I love the thought bubbles wondering if there was going to be more to the song.I just grinned knowing the outro is basically a song within the song, & would blow them away with the subtle rhythm/counter rhythms the drums employ.The keyboard volume swells are just the coolest touch as well, & juxtapose nicely with the heavy chunky guitars.
Nightwish - Last Ride Of The Day at Orlando 2012 with Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy, The Agonist), Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) and Tommy Karevik (Kamelot). Floor performs as temporary singer
It took me months of listening to Opeth before I really got into them.
For me it was about a year. I had GOP, sorceress, era on my rotation. I then came across To bud you farewell and face of Melinda and I was hooked. Picked up all their albums in like 2 months.
I've always loved the end part! Its just worth waiting for it😉
I really like the reversed piano chord at the end.
Damnit, you two are awesome! This is a great watch (and listen ofcourse)! Thank you :D
🤗💖
Great job on the background check!
Man I just saw them 2 days ago, caught one of Micke's picks and the setlist, stood front dead center and they end the show all lined up with Deliverance and my soul left my body so many times I forgot where I was
I'd also highly recommend listening to Ghost of Perdition and Master's Apprentices by Opeth. Nice mix of different styles.
a new/young band you need to check out is Freeze The Fall. i was fortunate enough to be on their kickstarter for their debut EP.
GLITCH was a debut single with Daughters of Witches next. now is the time to discover them, they are just getting started.
The Warning is one of their inspirations as Quinn taught herself guitar following Dany's parts.
Freeze The Fall and The Warning are 2 power trios you need to see
Band: Wintersun
Song: Loneliness(Winter)
After some of the reactions I've seen to it, I think it may be the kind of thing you're looking for. The singer/guitarist's dad died not long before recording and he channeled his feelings into a beautiful piece.
When you first listen to progressive songs listen to how the song makes you feel first. I don't pay that much attention to lyrics at first. I listen to the beat, the textures of the rhythm and the melody. I try to listen to the whole picture before I focus on that killer guitar lick. That's just me though.
This song on the Roundhouse Tapes live DVD is unbelievable - the perfect, tight musicianship is so plain to see, the real emotion that Mikael puts behind the SERIOUSLY disturbing vocals and *that* second half with the very active camera work and lights. This could go on for another ten minutes for me. 😂 ❤
Love you guys, to each his own, but keep it up ! You two are great !!
when r u guys gonna do agalloch?? im sure sistah would love it.
You still got no idea what an Opeth song does to you after a couple more listens. Thank you for the reaction and hope one day you can see Opeth as we see them.
from love to death
in a time span of seconds
Oblivious to regret
pushed into belief
Best outro i've ever heard. Great reaction guys and loved the bubble speech thingy haha. Defo try Blackwater Park or Serenity Painted Death.
Opeth fall heavily into the progressive death metal genre,from death growls from early albums such as Orchid/Morningrise to Blackwater Park/Ghost Reveries to the all clean vocals of Heritage/Sorceress,Porcupine Tree’s Steve Wilson has heavily influenced Mikael Åkerfeldt take on Opeth these past few years,dividing old school and new fans,the new album In Cauda Venenum is in both English and Swedish(my review of it is on the Metal Devastation Radio/Ever Metal/Metal Gods TV websites) check out The Drapery Falls/Windowpane/ In My Time Of Need/The Moor/Porcelain Hear or Will O The Wisp,a truly epic band especially live,they always finish with Deliverance,the ending is even better live,great reaction guys,Wolf I’m glad you finally got man 🤘🏻
Cool song and nice reaction! HLS is one rocking woman! I like to see people enjoying metal like her. Wolf you just chillin on this one.
I can't help it! 🤷🏾♀️ If it feels good, I'm gonna move 😌💖
You definetly should do MORE Opeth. Maybe some Anathema ;)
Don't know if you check these comments still but the live version of Sorceress is amazing. Yourself and Wolf would both love it. Having seen in live in December I can vouch for it being everybit as good in person as the recording.
P.S Deliverance was the last song they played in Melbourne and holy shit it was amazing. The bands timing is insane.
The band *Voyager* opened for *Opeth* in December here in Australia, check out their music if you can, it is like a cross between Tool/Opeth/Karnivool/DragonForce! If you want to understand Opeth - check out *Demon of the Fall* !!! That was always their encore back in the mid 2000s as it is short and normal sounding (it has some complex stuff) but FAR less than normal Prog stuff they have done. By the way, you mentioned the *Deliverance film* - yep, the 70s were pushing it! My birth decade! My parents went on their first date to go and see *A Clockwork Orange* - imagine that shit!!! The intro scene is a gang rape of a woman ffs.....lol Their FIRST DATE was THAT film?!
Voyager is excellent, a slightly different approach to Prog Metal than other bands. Maybe close to the current sound of Haken.
This album was produced by porcupine trees singer who is also another amazing talent. Especially vocal lines (harmonies) arranged by him
I don't normally care for reaction videos, but I love how you two are together, and I like the bits of background info you usually get with your videos. You guys don't just react, you try to really understand what you're listening to so you can enjoy the music better, which is something I really appreciate, and I love sistahs reactions to the music. I can really relate to the way she feels everything so deeply. That said: I have a request lol. I know Avenged Sevenfold gets a lot of crap, but I'd love to see you guys react to The Stage, or maybe Exist. They've matured SO much as a band, especially on this album, and their new drummer is amazing.
❤️✊🤘
A Fair Judgment then Masters Apprentices.
The songs tie into this song beautifully. 🤘
Couldnt buy my tickets for Montréal on the 18th of february :(. They are my favorite band of all time the new albums are really impressive too !
The end of this song always was lost to me when I listend to this album, until I saw them live and they ended the concert with this. It was stuck in my head all the way home, the way it builds and build to this epic release. I am not sure I can ever go back to the way I was before that moment when it clicked. I am afraid of what you said here Wolf, I am the same as progressive songs take many listens to fully click for me and the modern way of listening to music, music is so much more disposable with things like Spotify that i am afraid i am missing out on stuff I dont give the proper attention.
Progressive music often builds disperate and seemingly off-sounding parts of a song in the beginning and meld them together into the end in a way that only at a second listening the earlier parts makes complete sense. When you see those mechanics it is almost exciting to hear crazy sounding parts in the beginning as you wonder how everything will tie together. It's like a good detective-story or something but in music form.
Saw them live in san diego back in 2002 when they were promoting blackwater park.. 18 buck ticket.. F. Amazing.....
Yep....ive known this was the best outro Ive ever heard since I first heard this song about 20 years ago. Ive probably listened to it well over 1000 times since then.
Yay!!! And we all rejoice, cos this is a great day!!!!
5:16 "In Living Color" reference I use often to confound my nieces and nephews. Made me nostalgic. Thanks :)
Also for 6:43, but that was a different feeling entirely :P
Just passing through . . .
I'm 56, I have seen many genres "invented" in my lifetime, lived through the Pop music of the 60's and 70's, and it was my Dad's love of "Rock" music, Santana and the Beatles that gave me a love for Guitar driven music, so I continued on listening to AOR FM radio throughout the late-70's and 80's. I eventually got into Progressive Rock in 1977 on (because of Kansas and "Point of Know Return"), and then Heavy Metal in 1979-80 and then many of the subgenres it split into, and continued collecting Lp's and CD's.
*Opeth* I got late into, but knew of them by reading reviews in a long gone Metal Mag called "Ill Literature", and reading up on their debut "Orchid" and for 3 more albums. It was the album "Still Life"(in late 1999) that I finally checked them out . . . I never used these 2 words together till I heard them; "Brvtality and Beauty". How they were so damn aggressively heavy and could go into acoustic guitar passages so easily, and Mikael going from the deathly growls, and then this beautiful melodic voice. And the musicianship, flawless, as they knew how to put the extremes together, even with the abrupt tempo changes. Btw - gotta' give it up to their former drummer to; "Martin Lopez" adding a hint of his Latin roots (he later forms the band "Soen").
I would suggest next; "Ghost of Perdition" because of the changes, and how Mikael also develops as a melodic singer, while maintaining the brutality. But this track "Deliverance", the ending riffage is iconic to us fans, it took me awhile to figure the tempo (on Guitar and to headbang :p), but it is a staple to _headbang_ and "air-guitar" to it live when they perform it (see it LIVE, go find it!). As you can tell, I love this band, which they and Meshuggah are in battle for my fave Metal bands.
If you would like to discover Opeth more: ua-cam.com/play/PL2DU3TBNutEeqDvzLr5kVFKBm7DxaJvBZ.html
- Glad you got into it Wolf \m/.
Btw - I'm a HUGE "King's X" fan :P.
The Moor!!
Best drum outro of a song especially live 🤗
Black Rose Immortal, blew my freakin mind when I first listened to it
Haha The creepy window thought bubbles are a splendid touch.
She's a real Sunday mornin' kind of metal head.
I LOVE IT!!!
What does that mean? 🤭💖
@@HalfLifeSistah I just love how into it you get. Almost like a southern church service. It's just what you reminded me of (this is the first video I've watched of you guys). It's great!
one of my fav opeth tracks !! ive seen opeth live and there just like in the studio , unreal!!! should have watched a live video :-)
more Tool and Karnivool :-)
Rush - Natural Science
Great choice. My favorite Rush song
What we say to the singer, mighty Mikael Akerfeldt is sings like an angel, growls like a demon. Two souls came from heaven and hell, combined in Stockholm, Sweden in his body. Angel won the battle so he quit growling in last four albums (I'm ok with that)
I'd wanna see you reacting some Pain of Salvation and seeing you both crying then myself crying.
Let's start with "The Perfect Element", "Her Voices", "Beyond the Pale", "Iter Impius"
Best song EVER❤️
I love how sistah is totally vibing with this song. She's so adorable!
Beneath the Mire - Ghost Reveries
I love those dissonant chords that Opeth uses
Yes they brought it back \m/
Oh man that breakdown and afterwards at 13:50. She knows. I know. It's like the initial feeling you get when you turn up the heat of the water in the shower.
Nice guys. Love the reactions. Try some dream theater you'll definitely not regret it. I recommend something from the metropolis part 2 album. Or evem try to react to the whole thing. Its 1hr and 17 mins. It seems long but there are so much emotion in the album. Keep rocking. Ps sorry for my english im from poland.
Sistah should listen to this album start to finish and she will most definitely have an 'out of body experience' experience! Full on gets you that epic masterpiece.
@@LiamNoir you are correct
I saw them perform Metropolis Part 2 in it's entirety last summer. It was awesome!
Still life !
Wolf, I must say Opeth has always been about dissonance and abstract cadence. The off sounding parts are intentional because they generally make the regular "musical" parts have much more impact. Once you get it you really get it but I can understand it is not easy if you haven't grown up with it. Honestly, try the Blackwater park album and you might experience a deeper level of understanding of what I'm crapping on about. Talk soon
The chick definitely gets Opeth and probably prog in general. The dude is just not on her level lol.
Yes!!
Time to some more Amorphis recommendations. Don't forget to check on them. Listen to The Wanderer, Black Winter Day, Warrior's Trial, Escape and Tree of Ages.
Glad you like Swedish Metal!!!
There is alot to choose from. 👍
I like this energy 🌊
Steven Wilson has worked with Opeth - and that's my way of presenting a challenge to HalfLifeSister. See if she can watch the video of Wilson's song, "Routine" for more than 30 seconds. It HAS to be the video with the animation: ua-cam.com/video/sh5mWzKlhQY/v-deo.html. My bet is that she won't be able to do it. The sadness factor is through the roof. I can barely make it through myself.
Hi, sunshine 😊
We have already travel to Steven Wilson's "Routine." Hi check it out 😉
Painters of the Tempest (all of it) by Ne Obliviscaris
Ne obliviscaris is unreal.
Just clicked on one of your last vids to ask a question: Do you still read comments that come in on old vids you did? Yesterday I added a request on an older video. Later in bed I thought: well maybe they don't even read comments on old vids.... I'd love to see you guys react to Soilwork. 'Let this River flow' and 'This momentary Biss'. There's also a live performance of Soilwork doing 'Let this river Flow' together with FLOOR Jansen. YUp. And she even grunts in it. Not the best performance if you ask me, them together, but it was an experience.
I pop in to older videos when I have time, but due to our backlog, at the moment we can only accept requests through Patreon because there are simply too many. Hope you understand.
“Wrote a song about it, like to hear it? Here it go”
Nice In Living Color Reference. 👍🏻
I will never forget when I was in high school, had just got my copy of Still Life in the mail, picked my buddy up to take a cruise and listen to the record and the death growls on The Moor kicked in.
Mikael is a martian
Fk yea Opeth
Hey, what's the band you recommended ? I didn't quite catch that. Thank you.
I would love to see you react to Recharging the Void by Vektor, the closing track off of their 3rd album - Terminal Redux.
Nick Burrell I second this. That song is an eargasmic masterpiece from start to finish.
Woooo, Deliverance!
Transatlantic is it really happening
🤘🤘🤘
Sound of their riffs is very unique, and it's hard to comprehend it. But once you get use to it, you will like it! Also Mike is very influenced by 70's progrock bands, that is why his song are so complex...
If you learn the backstory of this song it makes the lyrics come to life.
