Hessian Peel's Working Title: "Surprise! It's Me, Demon!"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Some of you really undersold "Hessian Peel" and I'm trying to figure out why. There's acoustic guitar, a jump scare, a new demon variation, powerhouse vocals, harmonies, sections. It's epic Opeth! I already have my next 2 songs in mind. First, The Moor and then To Bid You Farewell, so stay tuned for those. Also, I'll be posting my live video next week, I think. I wasn't able to get the copyright removed, but at least it's not blocked. Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed The Peel. :)

Lauren: "I was really enjoying that piano music..." Opeth: Aaaw...well...then It's time to suffer a little!" lol
:D
"Why would he retire the demon if the fans like it?"
Mikael creates the music _he_ wants to hear, as fans have learned.
Wait until you hear Blackwater Park!
So the answer to your question about Mikaels retiring his demon voice, is that he no longer consume this kind of music he said. In fact, he stopped consuming that kind of music back in 1995 & also stated death metal to be boring to listen to nowadays. He also wanted to make music without growling but was afraid to make a big jump so instead, he faded the growls down over the course of albums until 2011, when he completely stopped growling as he felt it was the right time to abandon it. As a fan, I completely love their death metal and prog rock music. It would be awesome to have Opeth do just one more really satanic heavy song! or an album! I think Opeth was the best band to do metal, I find metal to be boring unless Opeth is the band, because they make it right. Love the reactions
"Satanic"
ruclips.net/video/6kPXHGwLM9c/видео.html PLEASE, check this out, very much like opeth. 5:39 is especially good
Imagine perfecting you craft to make beautiful and gut wrenching music about human failings and everyone calls it demonic and satanic :(
You really should try some Parkway Drive, the later stuff like IRE or Reverence, maybe some Atlas.
Satanic is just an expression, you guys are reading too much into it. (for the repliers)
I actually started with Opeth's newer stuff and took some time to get into the classics. For me, the music is just too good to avoid due to the Demon, lol.
IMO, no one else sounds like Opeth really. Their sounds is unique due to unusual chord voicing, compositions with some of the bests riffs ever. So memorable. So guitar driven. Always a journey.
Agreed. :)
💯👍
Amen
@@floridabelle I see you around ALL the Opeth reactions floridabelle! (P.S. I'm a native) Cheers-
@@milton1448 I'm constantly searching for more, just as I'm doing right now. I need more, I caught up with just about everything from the moment I first started listening. It's been about a year and a half now.
No one else compares, in my opinion.
I'm not a native, but have been here since 1978. (if you're referring to Florida).
I love your name, by the way. My dad's name was Milton, plus there is a Milton Jr. , another brother with Milton for his middle name, and I named my second born with Milton as his middle name.
It's such a good strong manly name. :-)
NO you are not easily impressed, it's just that Opeth is a masterpiece factory.They churn out one epic prog rock episode after another.
You are one of the few 100% genuine reactors out there. Honest in your opinion and the expressions on your face tell me that. Nice you liked it. From their last album (without growls) Charlatan or The Garroter. Both very different, but also brilliant.
Thanks so much for appreciating what I do. :D There are so many new titles in these comments, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed now. whew
True and true
I love your expressions, so funny but at the same time it brings back memories when I heard these songs for the first time!
You will certainly love the new "without demon" era of the band. I suggest "Moon above, sun below" or "All things will pass" from their latest album. Enjoy. Peace !
13 albums and the last 4 are all demon free! They are all exceptional albums, despite a lot of "OG" Opeth fans complaining about the direction he took. Damnation, an older album from their golden era, is also demon free. Funny it's ranked very high with most fans, though, so yeah...you just can't please em all😂
I'd suggest: Lovelorn Crime, The Devil's Orchard, or Strange Brew for a good sampling from their newer era.
It's not that funny when it's not the lack of growls people are unhappy with, it's the change in songwriting that came with it's departure..
@@lircox Hey, to each their own✌ I personally like the change and evolution of his songwriting. Definitely can't say that for all of my favorite bands (Metallica...cough cough)😁
@@oregonwoodelf ye sure, that's fair enough! Just take issue with the narrative that most people who don't love the new Opeth feel that way just cause of the lack of growls etc.
I hear you 😂
💖 This track has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it! 💖
May be you should do one from their latest album. "All Things will pass" doesn't have growls and I think you will like it. Or from their early work "To bid you farewell" (No growls) . "Deliverance" is another epic and it does have growls.
All Things Will Pass...yup, another exceptional song!
Opeth. Face of Melinda
Agreed , love turning the sub up all the way during that intro and practically vibrating my house to pieces 🤣🤣
Ha I like how when it kicks into high gear and he says "light comes on" yet she turns off the lights
No way! I was just trying to be funny, like we've entered the dark side. Ha! That's an awesome accident. :D
@@MusicCatsandCoffee ha nice, it worked out either way 😋
@@MusicCatsandCoffee & if you wanna get into the NON demon stuff "folklore" is a fantastic track omg
@@deminybs Heritage is a criminally underrated album. Love it.
@@Taunic agreed, listened to that album at work today lol
What I enjoy most about Opeth is that their soft, melodic parts sound more sinister than their heavy parts!
Yes!
Aha...the "falling down several flights of stairs" bit at 14:10 had me chuckling. I love your genuine reactions and your wit...keep it up!
Honestly one of my favorite Opeth songs of all time, and I think it's seriously underrated.
First time on this channel, but I'm so glad you picked this song. And I love your facial expressions around 9:00 (before "the demon" as you call it xD). It looks like you sense that something is coming, and you look noticeably uneasy. That kind of anticipation is something I feel Opeth mastered on this album, and I love seeing peoples' reaction to it, because those peaks and troughs of Opeth songs are what I adore. They take you on an adventure. And the power of Mikael's harsh vocals coming so suddenly, casting this song into chaos after such a lead-up that gives that sense of uneasiness but also serenity, then as the anticipation builds, the sudden surprise is both startling and expected.
Anyway, way more of a synopsis than I intended when starting to write this comment. But there's a reason Opeth fans are fans, and usually it's more than "Swedish guy go GRRR" :) So glad you've been introduced, and was happy to see your reaction!
Thanks for watching! :D Never a dull moment when reacting to Opeth, that's for sure.
One of the most underrated Opeth songs !.. I love this one ☝️. For me is the best song of the album 💿 with Burden and The Lotus Eater
This song remains my favorite Opeth song. :D
@@MusicCatsandCoffee great tastes girl !.. expect for “sweet satan” in the lyrics I agree with you is a banger !.. I didn’t checked yet your reaction. I will do soon
Yes..The Moor and Bid you farewell.. great choices... after those may I suggest Advent!
Love your Opeth reactions! You should check out the song Eaten by one of Mike's former bands, Bloodbath live at Wacken if you want to see yet another side of the demon. Opeth's drummer is also their drummer.
Yeah, +1
Eaten is a classic!
I HAVE ONE DESIRE SINCE I WAS BORN!!!!
@@gabifromhell TO SEE MY BODY RIPPED AND TORN!!!!
I really get a Floyd vibe in the beginning of this one. The last lick in the acoustic intro sounds like the last lick in Signs of Life from A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
This is my Favorite album from Opeth. From start to finish. What a great journey
Mike retired the growling vocals actually with the album just after this one. There were rumors back in the day that he may have injured himself because he sounds significantly different when he performs them now vs then but Mike maintains that he intentionally retired them because he felt he had taken that sound as far as it could go. I think the lyrics are a bit off in this and that Satan part was in reference to some ridiculous Led Zeppelin controversy forever ago. Also, Mike's a big time prog rock nerd but you seem to have cought onto that. Anyway Great reaction video!
Yes I remember that, too. After all, there is only so much variation you can do with growls. So much more ways of expression with regular singing. I think he didn't completely rule out doing it again if he feels like it or the song needs it. You know, on a Never Say Never basis.
OPETH
"The Leper Affinity"
Leper Affinity is a masterpiece! A fair judgment is also very amazing 🎵
@@chrisdepp7665 That's all they do is masterpieces. 😎
In my opinion, their magnum opus is either "The Drapery Falls" or "The Moor". Either one of those songs represent all that Opeth is about - at least up until Mikael stopped doing death growls.
Thanks for this one.
I like the songs you've got picket so far. I think this song did not get enough respect is because a lot of their songs deserve that, so it's hard to stand out.
"Eternal Rains Will Come" is my suggestion for the list, from 2014, so newer.
Also, your remarks about the composing of the 'song' are why I think you'd appreciate "Porqupine tree" / Steven Wilsen.
"I think this song did not get enough respect is because a lot of their songs deserve that, so it's hard to stand out."
You have succeeded, seeing that finger rise up knowing what's coming makes my blood boil 😂
Nice, will be waiting for more Opeth. Maybe as a suggestion give another Swedish prog band - Pain of Salvation - a try? No demon, and singer is amazingly talented imo.
What about " The Leper Affinity"?? That is from the album that got them the popularity and the music style. There are growls in that one, but god, good one and needs to be listen
This was enjoyable.
Other softer recommendations (no demon) -
Will o the wisp (you’ll love the vocals on this one, promise)
Folklore
Benighted
Hope leaves
Moon above and sun below
Eternal rains will come
Fleeting glimpse
And if you want to feel absolutely depressed and lonely - Isolation years
I love depressing songs, so I'm interested. :D
Isolation years is one of my favorites... wonderfully melancholic, and as the last song of the "Ghost reveries" record, it fits perfectly with "Coil", the "Watershed"'s opener (which at its end evokes the Demon, with "Heir Apparent"). I think Watershed is just perfect: my first Opeth experience, live at first hearing. Stunning!
@@MusicCatsandCoffee btw, if you like depressing stuff another band you should listen to is Porcupine Tree (I recommend you Arriving Somewhere, but not here), and Steven Wilson (Drive home, Routine, The raven that refused to sing). You would not regret it! No demons there :P
Lauren, my new friend... Opeth is amazing and you really can't go wrong with any of their songs! Instead of The Moor ( which is amazing- but everyone reacted to it already) try Godhead's Lament or Moonlapse Vertigo from same album, you will be pleased... I promise :)
Hey friend! So why shouldn't I get to hear a song just because everyone else got to it first? No fair. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Sorry, of course you can hear any Opeth song you want to!
He's still with them....good choice here. 🤘
Hessian Peel is top five, for sure. Good pick. Looking forward to To Bid you Farewell, also a great track.
If you like the soul-ness of this track, they have one called Folklore that sounds like it's right out of the sixties. If you're getting more comfortable with 'the Demon', you should react to Blackwater Park.
Yes, keyboard player of last four albums (and Red Rocks) Joakim Svalberg is still in the band. Yeah, he really works out for all of them on stage 😁
I love him.
Jeez, Per Wiberg, keyboard guy has a name.
Watershed has such a peculiar vibe to it. When you hear a song from this album you automatically think of the album cover, the colors (its definitely green) and the whole theme of it. Maybe this happens to every Opeth album, but Watershed has something very unique. Maybe it’s the theme, idk
Mayh too
My personal fave too, followed by Baying of the Hounds which I'd love to see you do a reaction vid for
Being raised a metalhead, I've always enjoyed the demon, but I can understand why it would be hard to get into when you're not used to it. Opeth is in a league of their own whether you're used to the demon or not
Next time porcelain heart by Opeth
Legit haunted song
Without the demon Lauren said about she doesn't like that much. Win win.
I used the same lyric video 📼. Expect for the silly satanic content at the start this is a totally masterpiece
Jump to those later albums. Epic, beautiful prog-rock. They ditched the death metal because...get this...they were getting older and growing as musicians. The most recent album is in my top-5 of the last decade.
Like your reaction-vids a lot! Too bad you don't like his growls since it's a really unique sound that is really hard to find amongst other metal-singers and I think it's a shame that he stopped with putting that into their songs. I'm happy that they still play their growling-songs live at least. Good work u are doing with your channel, you are one of my favourite reaction-youtubers, keep it up!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I wish I liked it more too. lol
6:00 🕕 this guitar 🎸 really sounds as an arp
I meant harp
Ummm
......may or may be watching this one for the 2nd or 3rd time 🤣🤣
13:36-13:54ish exactly lol . Why it's so hard to pick a favorite album let alone a favorite track ....
Agree with your take as usual. The instrumentation and vocals were so lovely for most of this. I can handle edge, but not a demon, I guess. LOL. No disrespect to the Opeth fans.
:D
Try moon above sun below from their pale communion album or sorceress.
Opeth is perfect for Autumn...
Im living in the same Town as the demon
Im Always looking over my shoulder😉
I grew up with metal, but I couldn't really get into death metal, even though many friends were into it. Then I found Opeth at 40+ and changed my mind, at least in regard to that band. So what lots of exposure for years and group pressure and a young malleable brain etc couldnt do, Opeth easily did without any of that. Lolzlz.
It's prog rock (metal). Just like ELP, Yes and Pink Floyd...with metal thrown in as a style.
Out of left field, but I'd like to see you do The Decline, by NOFX. Incredible song. Just incredible.
Heh no no Mikael isn't underrrated ughh. He's totally one of the legendary faces in the community, and arguably the greatest vocalist to ever live. Not underrrated lol.
He's underrated to me though. I'd never heard of him or this band before making these videos, and I've seen plenty of those "greatest vocalists" type of lists. So in my little world, he is. :D
Rhittik, out of the prog metal world, he and opeth are quite underrated, even not so popular in the wider world of prog rock, let alone rock & metal music. In spite of having a unique sound and vocal timbre, texture etc to go along with such diverse epic compositions. He is surely a known face in the metal world but I would still consider them a bit underrated even wrt someone like Metallica or maiden or death or DT or Tool
Deliverence
Just found your channel and binged all the opeth videos on here! Is there any chance that you'll look at 'Moon above sun below'? It's my personal favourite and quite different from any of the opeth songs you've reacted to (no demon ;) )
Thanks for watching! Eventually, yes. :)
Opeth is a reactors best friend since I've never seen or heard any reactor getting warnings or copyright claims for reacting to full songs/videos from start to finish. That said, it's still interesting to hear your thoughts when you pause the songs during changes or certain parts. Keep doing these Opeth reactions without worrying about getting your video blocked. "Harlequin Forest at Royal Albert Hall" is another great live performance. You also get to see a little of Mikaels humor (he's a really funny guy and engage with the audience which unfortunately isn't part of most of the live videos released).
Link to the Royal Albert Hall performance: ruclips.net/video/0HRett4kOpM/видео.html
It's funny you should mention that because this one is the ONLY Opeth song I didn't get a copyright claim on. Regardless, I have to pause or else it's boring for everyone involved and then I have to try to remember everything I wanted to say. I will definitely keep that live video in mind for the future. Thanks! :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Weird, there are a hundred (give or take) reactions to full length non-stop Opeth songs that haven't been taken down even after years of being up. I wonder if it's simply RUclips's algorithm that flags it but no action is taken. Oh well, at least it doesn't seem like you have to cut down your videos to remove the musical content.
Surprise! It's Me, Demon is actually the title of their most recent release.
Google the Hessians..it'll give u some insight
You asked what was Opeth's title song or encore? From what I gathered in watching a few concerts, they sometime close with "Deliverance."
So, food for thought.
I will watch tomorrow!.. i Don’t wanna annoying you more with my comments 😂😂🙈
Thanks for checking out my stuff. Your comments aren't annoying! Comments can get buried pretty quickly, so I'm working my way back. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee 🥰 nice
The reversed lyrics are nonsense or silly, it was a "placeholder" that they ended up keeping 🤪
Nice 👍🏾, I have a suggestion for you , for a new band discover. AFI - Miss Murder .
😊
Lauren please react to faith in others. It is one of the saddest songs of opeth, it doesn't have the voice of a demon, in the watershed he was killed ...
9:02 that was funny
U can react to any song off Blackwater Park or Still Life. Cant go wrong but it would be best if u hear all songs of Still Life in order cause it is a concept album.
Oh, also, forgot to mention in my big comment - the lyrics in the video you watched weren't 100% correct. Just worth noting. Like "Skin is blocked by the years of trial" should be "Skin is marked by the years of trial" ...The song is definitely a bit ethereal and cryptic, but it DOES have a story and it does make sense. :)
no warning for the “wild side” this time.
This is an album 💿 transition , the last one of the old growls era . This is the reason why he is vomiting 🤮 here all the hursh voice remaining is regurgitated in , combined with delightful lyrics
What day do you drop Tool tracks. Is there a certain day you do it. I'm ready to see the grudge reaction, asap. So if you could let me know kindly when they will uploaded I won't greatly appreciate it my young intellectual.
Check out my latest community post. :)
I will love you forever if you react to Ihsahn. I'd recommend In The Vaults or Celestial Violence.
Go Swedish Demon
LOL
What language are the weird lyrics in?
You should react to Coraline by Maneskin. It's an italian band who won eurovision and the song is in italian, but there's a lyrics video with the translation. I'm italian but never really paid attention to them until today and that song is beautiful and has a very sad story. You will like it.
But, demons don't fall down stairs. They have black wings...don't they? They can fly.
Demon wasn't the one who fell. Pretty sure he's the one who pushed. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee Point well made. Not only can demons fly, they also have a sick sense of humor.
You should check out Mikael picking out records at Amoeba - ruclips.net/video/xedYz1vZWsA/видео.html
He talks a lot about influences and stuff on there and he's very funny.
;)
