YES! I never see anyone react to Baying of the Hounds, one of Opeth's most underrated songs.
So far all your favorite tracks are from the same album (Ghost Reveries). This is definitely my favorite of their albums, really the peak of their harsh / clean vocals blend of progressive. If you're more about the clean vocals you may like some of their newer material - Dignity is a pretty good track that shows the newer direction the band's taken. Personally I prefer the old, but basically everything Mikael touches turns out awesome regardless.
Yea I have reacted to a few off the new... Such good songs!
Dignity is aight but All Things Will Pass my dude! Song's legendary
@@paravarium Check
This IMO was the last truly amazing opeth album and at the end of their golden era. Just my opinion as I like some of the newer songs but they just don’t do it for me. I’m glad they are doing their thing and still making very unique music though. Opeth are simply legendary man!
Dude this song isnt underrated lol
lol I know what you mean. Every time i hear an opeth song im like "maybe this is my favourite..."
haha true true
The grooves on this song are out of this world. Both bass and drums flow so smoothly...
agreed

BEST-MADE-TACOS OF THE EARTH.
DIABOLICAL BEAAAAAANS
I'm crying =)
i commented that 1h before you did but you got more likes :c my life is just unfair.... :(
@@rjkawrjahrsnjfddfdsfsodapi1840 Useless bucket, IT BEEEENDS.
Ghost Reveries is my favorite album of all time, i think you cant go wrong with any song from it really.
Pretty hyped for your Serenity Painted Death reaction. Omega banger!
Looking forward to it too! :)
Such a nice and complete song. Arrangements, especially Martin López' drums, are sheer beauty.
Great reaction once again. "The Baying of the Hounds" is a track that is not often reacted upon, so thanks for that, it deserves your input and enjoyment of it. The album "Ghost Reveries" is a pure gem anyway. As for a track that does not suddenly start with growling, "The Drapery Falls" is another classic of Opeth, not so convoluted but so beautiful and powerful in its progression, that I would be glad you would react to : ruclips.net/video/Sh1cM1KH8z0/видео.html. (with lyrics). Clean vocals in the first place and... so much more ;-)
As mentioned below, on a more progressive side and with clean vocals only, a favourite of mine "Moon Above, Sun Below", a 10-minute treat in which I think you would appreciate the subtleites, transitions and a lot of attention to details, from their more recent releases (I was overjoyed that this track was played during their last tour) : ruclips.net/video/a3sYPX17cFk/видео.html (no lyrics though).
Drapery has been done, yo...:) Thanks for the Links!
@@captainmorgan1978 Oh but of course I remember you did the live version, sorry ! Well, here's another favourite of mine, Porcelain Heart, which has only clean vocals, one of their most beautifully heartbreaking songs if you're in the mood, alternating between heavy and eerie, I would love to hear your reaction especially on the drumming part. Here's the video with lyrics: ruclips.net/video/hmH42QnsL6Q/видео.html
@@jeffashjones8099 Thanks for the link.
@@jeffashjones8099 The drumming part is fire, after the first verse. The drumming in Porcelain Heart and the keyboard solo in Burden. Epic shit.
I recommend you to check out A fair Judgement or The Amen Corner
Remember that this is a concept album and that the most authentic experience of the songs is gained if you listen to them in the correct order and preferably in single session.
Guess that is too late but I still love a lot of the songs individually nonetheless... :)
Great song. The culmination at the end of the song is one of my favourite Opeth moments, the drumming and growls are so menacing, the latter only matched perhaps by some parts in Serenity or Hessian Peel.
If you like his cleans that much Burden and A Fair Judgement would be good choices for further listens. Cheers!
Thanks good suggestion
Great song, nice reaction Cap
At the beginning, Baying of the Hounds is my favorite song. So I'm excited to see how you feel about it.
Lots of Opeth reactions on the channel! And I hope you were not disappointed 😊
NIce reaction. I would suggest giving listen to some of the "new" opeth songs. Moon Above, Sun Below is one of my favourites by them and has some awesome drumming.
Yea I have listened to a few or one of their newer ones...good stuff... I will not your suggestions too. Cheers
Would you consider Moon Above, Sun Below? If you love clean vocals you would be all over Opeth's "Pale Communion".
I would, NOTED!
OH YES PLEASE! I LOVE MOON ABOVE SUN BELOW!
best track on Pale Communion!
I have to say, this is one of the Opeth songs I always overlooked but watching this reaction with the song has made me appreciate it more! Thanks ! Serenity Painted Death is one of their best songs easily from my 2nd favourite Opeth album (Still Life). I would just say, expect *heavy*.
Heavy is awesome! :)
Just wanna give you props for the Keljet intro, one of my favorite groups.
Haha wow you are the only one... I have had a few give me shit about the intro saying it sucks... Lol I actually love "Alone" more by them... Such an upbeat good song
Def try When from the My Arms Your Hearse Album. That or Amen Corner. Both are awesome tracks.
Serenity is next 😊
Love this song , really metal prog in all sense of the words , for me the best of the album , indeed a masterpiece
React to Demon of the fall and Credence
Complexe song structure, perfect drumming, a tasty guitar solo and an amazing ending...you should give Moon above Sun below a listen, one of their, imo, best non growling songs! A Rollercoaster of feelings!
Awesome, Serenity next, but noted!
I'm gonna go ahead and give Moon Above another +1. Glad to see so many people recommend it. They actually played it in their live set this year, so I was very happy to see that!
@@levinskevich2180 word!
moon above is one of my favorites, and i've been a fan of the band from the very early days.
It's hard to find some other groups who do the harmonization as they do. Sheer beauty
I don't know if you're familiar with them already but I highly recommend the Australian band: Karnivool, "Goliath" is a great tune to start with if you haven't listened to them before.
Hope you're well :)
Late to the game but until you truly listen to death metal your truly appreciate how gifted Akerfelt Is as a vocalist. I get not liking the growls (me too at first) but over time you start to appreciate and truly love how low his growls are and how gorgeous his cleans are. Growls in general are hard to appreciate but Akerfelt is one of the best to ever exist.
In this album they use a cool alternative tuning (Dminoradd9 open tuning) that makes the riffs sound pretty unique in my opinion
At this point I'd say Ghost Reveries, is a pinnacle of Old School Metal.
New material is more outbound!
I may not listen to Opeth for year or two; when I do, it still sounds so fresh and hauntingly brilliant.
The Grand Conjuration never gets old for me :)
@@captainmorgan1978 Yes, in retrospect it's a very solid album.
It's most streight metal album, with the complexity of Prog.
I don't know if you realize, but it has this refined djently thrashy guitar. Sounds like a new - old school metal to me.
It’s hard to rank Opeth songs, most are all amazing in different ways 😆
Vektor - Recharging the Void
Man you GOTTA react to Thank You Scientist, they are a blend of jazz and metal, very progressive . Try Feed The Horses or Mr.Invisible
Already did one, but yes more to come...
The entire album is essentially flawless death metal. Just one great riff after another. He doesn't growl any more. One thing you can't fault with Opeth is the drumming, they have had some incredible drummers and the touch on this album in particular is SO good. I think it was Martin Lopez? There is a funny video somewhere on RUclips of Akerfeldt trolling Lopez as he is putting down one of the tracks.
Haha agreed on the drumming and I will look for that video lol
Soen: Martyrs
Martin Lopez is on the drumms in soen, he also played in opeth until 2005. I bet you'll like that one.
For more "new" opeth i'd recommend The Wilde Flowers.
Drummer is badass!
"Lotus" album is fantastic, the best they've done. And they're great live.
Next stop, BURDEN!
Edit : Please do Dirge For November. It is a great balance between the cleans and the growls.
Serenity is next... :)
I’d love for you to check out the song Hex omega. It’s kind of in between their new styles and old style . The music is still in the heavier style but the vocals are all clean .
Nice, Noted!
@@captainmorgan1978 Oh man, it is one of those songs you want to listen to on repeat for hours on end. From what reactions I've seen from you it would be right up your alley. Oh and Moon Above, Sun Below was a good suggestion that I've seen too.
@@Taunic make that a +1 😊
YES, this is an amazing song
Nice!! I'm in the same boat , can't pick a favorite opeth song lol
Grand Conjuration and this one are top for me so far...
@@captainmorgan1978 the more you hear the harder the choices become.... looking forward to it
All the 3 songs you mentioned The Grand Conjuration, Harlequin Forest and this song are from same album. Also Ghost of Perdition that you already reacted. Do react to something from Blackwater Park tho, it one of the greatest metal album ever. Bleak after Serenity Painted Death?
Yes, I need to do that..Bleak is noted!
This is the unsung hero of the album. Not saying the others are overrated but this is the most sophisticated and polished track on the album.
Imo that role goes to Beneath the Mire, but I'm saying i don't love Baying
Nah baying of the hounds still has more natural transitions way more parts and is still more sophisticated.
@@nikelodeon6852 For sure, can't really argue taste/preferences especially when it's really mostly nuances separating why each one's awesome.
Seems a lot Opeth people agree with you too :)
Why u always gotta be sarcastic man I'm just expressing my opinion and love for the song. Btw go out of this thread and see the other comments alot of ppl have the same view
Great song! Greater reacción!
Cheers!
Check out the latest album. They finally mixed heavy sound with clean vocals.
Yes have listened to a few here and will do more! 🍺🍺
I forgot you did Next of kin. I went and had a look. Serenity is great for the riff changes. Growls fit. Great song. Oh and Marillion for a change of pace, This strange engine or most recent "Go" live Royal Albertl hall for a recent performance.
Always glad, when you get back to Opeth or Haken! Any chance tho, that you give Pain of Salvation a few more tries in the next time? :D
I do need to get back to them at least 1 more time, just so hard these days with all the requests!
@@captainmorgan1978 then you should do king of loss or a trace of blood. I'm waiting on it too
@@Capitaomac1 got it!
Awesome reaction man always look forward to these but I think you should check out more songs from blackwaterpark epic tracks
Totally down for it... Suggest on the suggestion thread. Cheers!
@@captainmorgan1978 where can we find that post? was looking for it before.
@@kalebcech2362 I think in the Community Tab on the channel page...
@@captainmorgan1978 haha sorry man i dont usually use any of the social stuff on youtube but i found it cheers
@@kalebcech2362 yea me neither but now that I passed 1k I guess it is a feature I can use now on my channel... Weird lol
If you want growl free Opeth, check the last four albums. All different, all good.
Just friendly reminder about reacting to Dream Theater's epic cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Thanks!!
This is grand conjuration withought the repetiveness
Hmm interesting point 🤔😏
Just finished binging all your opeth videos, really enjoying your style of reaction. You should definitely listen to some songs off of Heritage to get the full scope of opeth. I recommend Nepenthe or Famine.
Awesome, thank you for the suggestions, links are better :)
BEST MADE TACOS IN THE WORLD! DIABOTICAL BEENS
Haha huh?
1:33
Btw if you want some clean vocals, listen to Face of Melinda it has no growls
@@rjkawrjahrsnjfddfdsfsodapi1840 uh still not getting it... Something about Jackels?
@@rjkawrjahrsnjfddfdsfsodapi1840 yes that has been suggested before. Plus 1
OPETH! It makes you wonder why do death metal growls at all when you can sing as good as Michael can. Though do like how he goes "URRRRRRRRRGH" right before the is shit gets heavy all the time.
Agreed, like I said if it was 80/20 it would be perfect. :)
@@captainmorgan1978 I'm surprised you don't reference Hessian Peel since you liked it so much. They build up to the heavier parts in that song, and I think it makes the sparing use of the growls more effective.
@@levinskevich2180 HP was definitely awesome but GC was my latest love so it's what I think of first... Lol
u wanna try any sorceress or pale communion track bro, no growls, but completely masterpieces.
Awesome, next is Serenity, but after that it is kinda open... :)
If you are more into Mikael's clean vocals, I'd recommend checking out for instance Sorceress live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. A really good display of their fantastic musicianship as well.
Perfect, thanks! :)
Live is the way to experience this track. For one thing, Sourcress the album is largely unmixed. For as much as i love so many individual songs from this album, this is such a terrible thorn in my side this decision was made. Also, much like the song Cusp of Eternity.. it just gets a little more OOMPH live.
Completely agree, although for most of the tracks it is better to start with the studio version (such as "Harlequin Forest" and "The Drapery Falls" which would have been an even better first-listening experience), for "Sorceress" you MUST watch the live one. Here's the link : ruclips.net/video/8Fc0pbZxlo8/видео.html
still no opeth after the heart in hand reaction? that's just sad.
I just do that a couple weeks ago lol
@@captainmorgan1978 need more frequent opeth uploads. Who knows, if you keep listening to opeth, they may become your favourite band.
@@captainmorgan1978 Also I dont know if you are familiar with Rivers of Nihil, but I am suggesting a song by them. It's called "Where owls know my name". If possible do give it a try.
Belakor- Venator pls
Did them once before almost forgot about them
I think your opinions of the growling undermines how its a concept album. I mean... everyone undermines screamed vocals but can you do it as well as him? Thats cheap. I dont like what that. But its a prog death metal band. Granted, if you listen to death metal, its gonna be growled and screamed. Would you rather have a tone def idiot like drake on this? Its music that works and provides an almost cinematic experience through music.
Guess not (per my last comment) lol.
@@captainmorgan1978 Yo. I had a great time listening to my favorite song and seeing what someone had to say about it. I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way. I did like your commentary.
Thanks for saying so. No worries even if you were saying you hated my commentary. That is what reaction channels are for. Hope y9ou can join for a live session sometime! Cheers!@@SkeithLangley
Sorry, just can't get into Halloween-style growls, takes me completely out of the song. Sounds like I should be on the lookout for Freddie or Jason. I agree the clean vocals are good, as are the transitions and instrumentation. Hope all is well.
Yea not my style either but out of all the bands I have heard his growls are the most digestible! Hope is well too!
Don't give up on it though, once it clicks, you'll be fully immersed in the songs. Check out some newer stuff from them, all clean vocals.
@@kevinbartolen5881 that seem to be next after Serenity.
