People: Hey you know anything about Opeth? Me: Awesome band. Easily one of the best bands on the planet. Amazing songs but long though. Better pack a sandwich or two b/c it's a journey.
Mikael Åkerfledt is really good with audience. Last time when I went to the Opeth concert, he stated that Finland is much better on ice hockey than Sweden. We all agreed, naturally :) ... such a terrific band, all talented musicians. To me, music of Opeth is all about contrasts between beautiful and brutal.
Next time please, Warrel Dane - Rain, i want to know! Warrel Dane died before release that whole album, so no Live video there is... :( Btw: Good interpretation!
Beth, thanks for your videos! I would loooove to see you react to Gojira, the vocalist Joe Duplantier has a very interesting and distinctive vocal style. Check for example songs Born In Winter or The Gift Of Guilt.
I got a good one for yah, try PORCUPINE TREE-WAY OUT OF HERE LIVE. now,porcupine tree is a british progressive rock band. They are actually mikael of opeth's favorite. Steven wilson is a genius,great musician, talented lyricist. He isnt like mikael though, you know singing with those beautiful vibrato or anything like that. But steven is a great singer,he has a distinctive voice. And porcupine tree,people often call them the modern version of pink floyd. They are very progressive and experimental rock band. Try them,you will like them. :)
This is just for the Swedes unfortunately, but some rather rough quotes from a concert of theirs that I attended at a festival "Hej allihopa, vi heter Opett" "Du skriver en låt och så känner du att fan, riffet suger! Det finns en mycket enkel lösning - Sänk det!"
My personal best experience about this was one car trip we made with a friend who didn't know Opeth at that time. We were listening to Bleak and the guy didn't enjoy the beginning a lot. After some minutes in he stated: "Wow! Is this the same band? Now this new song feels amazing!" Duuude, we were not even in the middle of the same song you complained about just now ahahahahahhaha
She should react to it! I'm not a fan but my guess is "The Grand Conjuration"? My favourite by Opeth but I haven´t listened enough to call my self a fan though. :)
I always thought this was one of their most effective vocal transitions in a song - when clean, it's about the character in 1st person, but when distorted, it's in the 2nd person. Very cool
i was at that gig! This was their 20th anniversary gig, 3 hours long, and this was the penultimate track, so he had been singing for over 2 and a half hours at this point.
He has said that he would love to write simple catchy songs, but he's just not good enough. Everything comes out 16 minutes long. (Though, you know, he likes to joke around.)
@@berserker8884 Omg, its like I ran into myself in the comments lol I'm rolling through here talking about the same two songs on other comments. Face of Melinda (Roundhouse Tapes) is probably my favorite Opeth song, with Windowpane from the same show being a potential second. It is difficult to choose, though.
@@TheW89 still gonna like it. It's like an involuntary impulse. Real talk, if the bashing is done in a constructive way and attempting to make valid points, more power to them.
@@CyanideGirl94 I know I'm not the one who mentioned the new stuff but I'll comment anyways. I actually do like everything post-Watershed... Some of it I like quite a lot. I just happen to much prefer the band before they changed. I think they were way better before Heritage but that's just personal taste.
I believe that Mikael said afterwards that the sound in his earpiece was wonky for this show, so he was making his growls sound a bit strange (compared to his usual self in these days).
Opeth is really good to listen to. I don't know if you've ever looked into their album Damnation, but Windowpane is a beautiful song. Kind of a dark seventies progressive sound. Highly recommended.
@@stableape2967 Face of Melinda is outstanding, my 2nd favorite Opeth song behind To Bid You Farewell. You have to listen to the tracks before it on the album to really do it justice, though
I'm glad you liked it but this was the first live album where I said to myself, "WTF is wrong with his growls?!" He's even commented himself that the growls sounded bad in this show, and he chalked it up to the fact that the was the first time he performed with in-ear monitors. There are performances both before and after this where his distorted vocals sound like a force of nature. You just heard Mikael Akerfeldt at his worst, at least in terms of their professional live recordings. Still, glad you liked it. Next time, pick a better show or an album cut. You'll be blown away.
Having a album cut is often compared with picking the cherries of his performances. Also, as vocal coach, you need the posture of the performer, to see, if there is something wrong with the instrument. Sure, sometimes you need to take a guess. (hearing, were the tone sits.) But seeing/hearing both is often better.
Wow! This may be the first time any YT vocal coach has covered Opeth! One of my top 5 bands of all-time and the band that got me into growls and death/extreme metal in general. That said, they're one of those bands where the vocals just become another instrument to me, and it's the total compositional genius that I appreciate. Very interesting to hear a vocal-centric take on their music!
I think you'd like ne obliviscaris - and plague flowers the kaleidoscope. preferably the live version in colorado. amazing musicians and amazing combination of 2 very different vocalists
Really, he has an indian classical voice. Despite of having european accent, he can deliver indian classical notes quite easily, listen to burden by them he shows all his singing potential and the art of his rendition. Overall great classical singer and a hell shaking growler.
Would love to hear some thoughts on Leprous. Einars range is incredible! Do Acquired - Taste live at rockefeller. He definitely uses his voice as an additional lead instrument, often adding texture to the song without necessarily singing words.
The way Opeth conveys raw emotion into their musicality is tear jerking. These riffs literally paint the picture of a decaying forest, and spirits aimlessly wandering within. Beautiful, just beautiful.

On an entirely unrelated note, you are the spitting image of a friend of my girlfriend's. Same name too. We've been winding her up about her RUclips career every time you post a video. Greetings from Surrey 🤘
Very good reaction. I have not listened to much Opeth but will now. Please react to Serj Tankian, his Elect The Dead concert with the Auckland Philharmonic is fantastic and shows off his vocal abilities wonderfully. Good songs would be The Sky is Over.
This is when Mikael started to lose his growl voice. His earlier growls are way more dynamic and... devilish. His cleans are, and have always been, heavenly. To my ears he is the perfect rock and/or metal singer. His voice is pleasing and not overindulgent. He's got a gorgeous baritone voice that sounds just as beautiful speaking as it does singing.
You should give Soundgarden a listen. Songs like "Jesus Christ Pose" or "The day I Tried to Live" are great examples of Chris Cornells vocal skills. And some of the tracks from the Badmotorfinger records are just mental.
You nailed it with recognizing the dictation. Growing up I was not a fan of death metal, however Mikael was one of the first Death Metal vocalist to hook me, and it was because I could recognize what he was singing. One of my favorite parts of these "vocal coach reacts" videos is when they recognize the talent of my favorite bands. Devin Townsend, Tool, Opeth. Talented bands with amazing vocalists that don't get enough credit. Well done.
I was not expecting this song to pop up on my recommended list. Harlequin Forest is my favorite Opeth song, and I was delighted to see how you enjoyed it as well! Thanks to whoever asked for this, and of course thank you for always listening with an open ear, and explaining in a clear, knowledgeable way!
I would honestly love to see your reaction listening to NeObliviscaris Tim Charles is just an absolute god in the cleans and contrast perfectly with Xen growls
As a fellow vocalist/musician I absolutely fell in love with Opeth when I first heard them. They are so tightly knit together musically and the vocals are so beautifully done. I also love the haunting feeling you get from their sound as well as the timings they use for their songs. Keep up the great reviews Beth
I'd be interested for you to check out Opeth before the long break they took from doing songs with screaming/growling (From around '07 to '14). When they started playing those songs live again a lot of fans said it was different and I wonder if it's because he worked on technique to not blow his voice out all the time.
Hey, i'm not really writing comments person, but i have to say that i really enjoy that you enjoying bands like Tool and Opeth, and you "see" that much in their music and vocals. I'm curious tho, why someone who is a voice teacher and have good hearing - using hmm... not good headphones (to be gently), I know that you listening from YT and sound quality isn't best, but still... Anyway, I started my adventure with Opeth with "Ghost of Perdition" - i recommend it I would love to see you reacting to some more MJK songs (Tool, A Perfect Circle), my first thouts is A Perfect Circle - Judith
I prefer the heavy, brutal Opeth of yore (including this) before a Hammond organ became the lead instrument and everything suddenly sounded like carnival music. And I’m seriously not trolling or anything like that. Was a die hard metalhead for decades then Opeth blew my mind back then. Miss their meaner, more aggressive composing style.💪🏻🤘🏻
Goldehh Some of my favorites were and are still Demon of the Fall, Bleak, Blackwater Park. Their albums Morningrise, Still Life, and My Arms, Your Hearse were my favorite albums for their perfect mixes of aggression and grace.💪🏻🤘🏻
Goldehh Orchid was the title of their 1st album. It had a real organic, analog feel to it. Morningrise was a step forward in my opinion in terms of heaviness. I think they had found their sound on that album. Be aware though, those first two albums only have like 5 or 7 songs, respectively, but are over an hour long each! Morningrise has a 20 minute song called....Black Rose Immortal with the other 5 tracks clocking in at an average of 10 minutes.💪🏻🤘🏻
@@_Just_Some1 The 1st song I heard of theirs was Black Water Park. That song made me fall in love with the band. They have a lot of great songs from their Orchid, My Arms Your Hearse, Morningrise albums but my favorite albums are after this period.
Opeth are great! Love them and their massive range. You seriously should check out a broader spectrum of their discography. Honestly, you wont regret it!

I think they play wrong often, maybe the songs getting so long becourse of that? The drummer must be on medication or something, hés sounds not like other ACDC music or Brian adam s ..... Far away from my music education points. Please react to Bon jovi? he is so odd!
Sometimes I'll measure the distance I have to travel in Opeth songs. Hour drive? Be there in 3 Opeths.
I do the same but with Dream Theater! Prog is perfect for trips

Good to see vocal review on this. Harleguine is one of my definite favorites in metal music. Period.
Their record Blackwater Park is a masterpiece, so much so, I can fall asleep to it - Like what I do with Pink Floyd...
Opeth truly are on another level. The masters of progressive metal. Also prog/metal super group Soen is really special too. Great vocals, deep music.
Opeth are awesome, I hope you get around to checking out some more in the future
I wanna hear some Mastodon (triple vocalists) Roots remain or Toe to toes would be amazing
Man one of my favorite opeth song. Would like to see nevermore, amorphis or wintersun.

I love watching interviews with him. Especially if I've had a bad day. He's just so genuine.
So funny live!
This is just for the Swedes unfortunately, but some rather rough quotes from a concert of theirs that I attended at a festival
"Hej allihopa, vi heter Opett"
"Du skriver en låt och så känner du att fan, riffet suger! Det finns en mycket enkel lösning - Sänk det!"
Haha. Vocals stop...song continues for five minutes, vocal coach sits there awkwardly! Welcome to Opeth!

That's not just Opeth it's Dream Theater, Epica has songs like that, Nightwish, Symphony X, any prog, power or symphonic metal band is like that.
@@evacody1249 that's partly the reason prog metal and rock are my favourite genres, they put a lot more emphasis on the composition as a whole.
@@aidankenealy2231 i dont generally like prog but opeth is certainly an exception for me.
People who never heard of Opeth were probably like:
"Was that ONE song?" 😁
I like your profile pic...
16 minutes isn't that long, she should review a funeral doom song.
Should check out six degrees of inner turbulence or octavarium
My personal best experience about this was one car trip we made with a friend who didn't know Opeth at that time. We were listening to Bleak and the guy didn't enjoy the beginning a lot. After some minutes in he stated: "Wow! Is this the same band? Now this new song feels amazing!" Duuude, we were not even in the middle of the same song you complained about just now ahahahahahhaha
And then there's Rush fans. "That's it?" Lol.
The ending's confusing and repetitive riff is said to represent being lost and disoriented in the black, and dense forrest.
I didn't know this about the track but as a description it's PERFECT.
Oh, also it's interesting you said it was a devil voice, because in that album, he uses the growl for the devil character in the story
She should react to it! I'm not a fan but my guess is "The Grand Conjuration"? My favourite by Opeth but I haven´t listened enough to call my self a fan though. :)
Thanks for requesting this @Hour Man
That's interesting I didn't know that. What do the clean vocals represent?
its the contrary , he uses clean sounds for the devil as in to lure in the character
I always thought this was one of their most effective vocal transitions in a song - when clean, it's about the character in 1st person, but when distorted, it's in the 2nd person.
Very cool
i was at that gig! This was their 20th anniversary gig, 3 hours long, and this was the penultimate track, so he had been singing for over 2 and a half hours at this point.
Still to this day one of the best shows I've been to! Even with the technical issues.
lucky bastard
He has said that he would love to write simple catchy songs, but he's just not good enough. Everything comes out 16 minutes long. (Though, you know, he likes to joke around.)

His growls aren't his best here, but that doesn't mean they're bad. I think they sound absolutely amazing here.

@@TheLikeButtonLMAO Or Pelle Almqvist from The Hives, coincidentally all three of them are from Sweden ;)
Gotta love that dry, Swedish humor
An Opeth crowd is the only crowd that goes so quiet between songs that you can hear the crowd talking to the singer...
Yes yes yes! Opeth!!! Sooo exited
As a fellow vocalist/musician I absolutely fell in love with Opeth when I first heard them. They are so tightly knit together musically and the vocals are so beautifully done. I also love the haunting feeling you get from their sound as well as the timings they use for their songs. Keep up the great reviews Beth
I love how the vocalist growls and Beth is like, Heh :) . Yes i get easily amused.
I've never clicked on a video of yours faster. Unpopular opinion but this is Opeth's best song imo
disagree. My fav Opeth song is bleak. But one is plenty awesome too!
Bleak with this a close second for me.
For me it was their best song until I heard A Fair Judgement
It's a great song but I think my favorite on is Dirge for November. It's soooo beautiful and brutal at the same time.
For me it’s leper affinity, I guess, but it’s hard to chose
Check out "ghost of perdition"! It's one of their best songs!🙃
I'd be interested for you to check out Opeth before the long break they took from doing songs with screaming/growling (From around '07 to '14). When they started playing those songs live again a lot of fans said it was different and I wonder if it's because he worked on technique to not blow his voice out all the time.
Hey, i'm not really writing comments person, but i have to say that i really enjoy that you enjoying bands like Tool and Opeth, and you "see" that much in their music and vocals.
I'm curious tho, why someone who is a voice teacher and have good hearing - using hmm... not good headphones (to be gently), I know that you listening from YT and sound quality isn't best, but still...
Anyway, I started my adventure with Opeth with "Ghost of Perdition" - i recommend it
I would love to see you reacting to some more MJK songs (Tool, A Perfect Circle), my first thouts is A Perfect Circle - Judith
Dont forget about Puscifer! Maynard's third band.
I prefer the heavy, brutal Opeth of yore (including this) before a Hammond organ became the lead instrument and everything suddenly sounded like carnival music. And I’m seriously not trolling or anything like that. Was a die hard metalhead for decades then Opeth blew my mind back then. Miss their meaner, more aggressive composing style.💪🏻🤘🏻
BigBrutal BassBeer can you give me some good opeth songs to check out?
Goldehh
Some of my favorites were and are still Demon of the Fall, Bleak, Blackwater Park. Their albums Morningrise, Still Life, and My Arms, Your Hearse were my favorite albums for their perfect mixes of aggression and grace.💪🏻🤘🏻
BigBrutal BassBeer definitely gonna check them out, I recently got into obituary and I’ve always wanted to get into opeth, thank you for that 🤘
Goldehh
Orchid was the title of their 1st album. It had a real organic, analog feel to it. Morningrise was a step forward in my opinion in terms of heaviness. I think they had found their sound on that album. Be aware though, those first two albums only have like 5 or 7 songs, respectively, but are over an hour long each! Morningrise has a 20 minute song called....Black Rose Immortal with the other 5 tracks clocking in at an average of 10 minutes.💪🏻🤘🏻
BigBrutal BassBeer I absolutely fuckin’ love morningrise. I haven’t checked out orchid yet but I will
react to blind guardian, the bards song, most beautiful song i know
Or Mirror mirror
Well, given that the crowd sings most of that there might not be too much vocal stuff to talk about ;)
@@FzNd well the studioversion might be enough, i mean everyone knows hansi can sing live as well as in studio😅
@@stefanrankwiler6908 I really wanna hear her react to Demons and Wizards - The Fiddler on the Green
Epic...
Yes, I understand you mispoke, and truly meant to say The Maiden and The Minstrel Knight. It's ok, mistakes are made, but then you learn.
;-) *Hides*
his growl is kinda lost now, you should've heard him in his prime...people couldn't believe it was his real voice
New-ish Opeth fan here, please direct me to the albums / songs you mean by "in his prime" ? Thanks.
@@_Just_Some1 The 1st song I heard of theirs was Black Water Park. That song made me fall in love with the band. They have a lot of great songs from their Orchid, My Arms Your Hearse, Morningrise albums but my favorite albums are after this period.
His growl is at his prime during the Ghost Reveries era. His singing has gotten better each album. He's still amazing live.
Katatonia? He did the katatonia's growls several times, when katatonia used to play black metal.
@@_Just_Some1 I'd say his prime is Katatonia's Black Winter Day album, but my favorite time is Orchid both clean and brutal.
Im so glad you did this. This song is amazing! Really miss the old opeth
could not agree more
Did you used to do vocals for mayhem?
@@matthewgodding777 yeah before i died
@@Andrei-nk4cb blimey. How you feeling now?
@@matthewgodding777 pretty dead but chill
Opeth are great! Love them and their massive range. You seriously should check out a broader spectrum of their discography. Honestly, you wont regret it!
6:16 NOOO you paused the video at my favorite part
I love these videos they help me to understand the music much better

Try Opeth - Blackwater Park on your own...because I know you only play live to avoid copyright....and hang on
Can you PLEASE react to Anathema - A natural disaster or Untouchable pt. 2? Both songs are great!
I think they play wrong often, maybe the songs getting so long becourse of that?
The drummer must be on medication or something, hés sounds not like other ACDC music or Brian adam
s ..... Far away from my music education points.
Please react to Bon jovi? he is so odd!
