Martin Mendez is such a silky bass player. Since you like bass, I would recommend Drapery Falls, but hear the studio version for a clear listen of the bassline which is epic.
I'm glad you're into their music. I'd recommend Bleak cause it's my personal favorite. I'm really excited this week as I'll see them live for the first time this Sunday!
@@sentinel2914 Yes at Masonic Temple. Awesome show. It was cool that Mikael mentioned the I-Rock. Opeth playing at the I-Rock was the first time Opeth played here and it was when I discovered Opeth back in 2001. Wow that was 21 years ago. I'm getting old.
Opeth songs to check out next in no particular order: "Bleak" (features vocals by Steven Wilson), "Cusp Of Eternity" (that hook!), "Face of Melinda" (great journey), "Harvest" (the melancholy, no growls), and last but not least "Deliverance" (for the DUN dun dun DUN). And if you want similar (as in complexity, not necessarily as death metal) other bands to have a look at are: Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson, Karnivool, Haken, and King Crimson are the first ones to come to mind.
I love watching people fall in love with my favorite band, reminds me why I fell so hard for Opeth 20 years ago. If you're still looking to react to them and want a mix of Heavy and Acoustic i would suggest "Blackwater Park" off of Blackwater Park or "The Night and the Silent Water" off of Morningrise, if you want just clean "To big you Farewell" off Morningrise or "Hope Leaves" off Damnation, Happy listening!
A little more raw recording then "Ghost Of Perdition" due to it being recorded for a DVD....but Opeth kills it every time. Jump to the studio version of this and more....I suggest "Hessian Peel" studio version.🤘
I'd suggest "Windowpane" from their "Damnation" album. It's such a fragile, emotional song and definitely this song (and the whole album) is very different compared to other Opeth albums ruclips.net/video/bSpqLqC7U6g/видео.html&ab_channel=OpethVEVO
I'm so glad you noticed the bass in this. I started working on learning it a few months ago and to this day it's still a trip. It's on a whole other level. Also I was convinced that outro was completely structureless and honestly hated it for a bit. After figuring it out it's become one of my favorites. It's just so jarring but somehow flows so well once it clicks.
The last part of the song simulates the feeling beeing lost in the forest and running from tree to tree, completly lost. The song is part of an almost concept album. A Murder of his mother running from his guilt.
His growls used to be soo much better. I suggest when watching live performances checking out songs from their live at the roundhouse tapes DVD. It's older so not as good picture quality but much better performances
Nice reaction! These are my Current top 10 Opeth Songs 1) April Ethereal 2) The Funeral Portrait 3) Godheads Lament 4) Ghost of Perdition 5) Demon of the Fall 6) When 7) Moonlapse Vertigo 8) Deliverance 9) Black Water Park 10) Master's Apprentices Yep, all about them Epic Outros :) MAYH is my fav Opeth Album!
The discography of Opeth shows a really awesome transition from a death metal sound to an incredible prog metal sound. My favorite was from Blackwater Park to Watershed.
I recommend you "Burden" and "Windowpane" to see the growl free Opeth. They changed their style from time to time, but they still create impressiv music.
A band I was in opened for Opeth at a bar in Tampa Florida called 'The Brass Mug' back in 2001 just after Blackwater Park came out. I had never heard them before then and was blown away by their music. Great guys, too.
More Opeth Please! I would highly recommend songs (In Chronological Order) such as, The Twilight is My Robe (1995) To Bid You Farewell (1996) Demon of the Fall (1998) Face of Melinda (1999) Dirge For November (2001) Master's Apprentices (2002) To Rid The Disease (2003) Hours of Wealth (2005) Burden (2008) Folklore (2011) Faith in Others (2014) Strange Brew (2016) Universal Truth (2019)
I love how they blend that folksy 60s/70s feel that wouldn't be out of place at Woodstock with modern metal, and all the subtly great musical composition. Great reaction!
They are the best live band I have ever heard. Some other great songs are Deliverance, Blackwater Park, Isolation Years. You can't go wrong with Opeth.
They are great live, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised how much better the studio versions are as well. You cannot go wrong with anything from the albums Blackwater Park (best album), Still Life, Ghost Reveries, Watershed, Deliverance, or My Arms Your Hearse. Below are some great songs to start: Drapery Falls Dirge for November Blackwater Park (no clean vocals) Deliverance Bleak (Steven Wilson back vocals) The Moor The Lotus Eater A Fair Judgment (no growls) Many more, but this will get you started (and hooked). Again, do some studio versions, because they are perfect. Mikael's growls were declining during those live performances, and after Watershed album they no longer do growls on any songs. Love your reactions!
Another crazy song from the same live : « Dirge for November » One of my fav. Or, a perfect live with Michael at his prime, « When », live at Roundhouse Tapes.
Mikael Åkerfeldt has an absolutely incredible range of harsh and clean vocals. And beyond that he's an amazing songwriter. He's also pretty damn funny on stage between songs, as you see here. Ever since I first heard them Opeth had absolutely captivated me every time I hear them.
Hey, I was fortunate enough to see these guys at the house of blues in downtown San Diego back in '06, when Peter Lindgren was still a member, so much fun...anyway the album recordings, to me, sound slightly different than live, check out moonlapse vertigo from the still life album, you'll see what I mean..peace
I’m so happy to see that you’ve listened to this song. I’m a HUUGGEE OPETH fan. I’ve really been enjoying seeing you and your reactions to them. I have this huge painting I did of them live on my wall. I can’t wait to see them live again. Cheers from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
I go between this song and blackwater park as my favorite opeth songs. Can’t wait for you to react to songs off blackwater the whole album is masterpiece 👌🏻
So happy to see someone appreciate every little thing about this band! Lol Thanks for sharing your experience, this one is my personal fav from them. Looking forward to more reactions! 🤘🤘 Opeth - Deliverance Gojira - Clone
I discovered them when I was 17. now I'm 30, many things have changed. but along with Agalloch and Tool they always remain in my top 3 favorite bands ever
Tbh, I've always been AWARE of opeth, but by the gods! Did I sleep on them. I love musicality in music. Composition, dynamic range, a journey. Tool, seven spires, rush, ayreon, RJD, symphonic metal to me can mean different elements of symphony. Be it instrumentation, or song structure, or what have you.
even though they aren’t terrible by any means here, the growls are completely inferior to the studio recordings, so I’d recommend you try some studio stuff as well just to hear his absolute peak in vocals
Definitely my least favorite Opeth live album but still better then most things. Live at Shepards bush empire and the Roundhouse tapes are the best live Opeth records
Man can't wait for the premiere, I love them so much and it's always a feeling of listening to them the first time myself, when I watch others do it. For a totaly different side (especially the vocals) you could try "Faith in Others" or "Burden", other than that I'd suggest "Deliverance" or "Bleak" next! (But maybe the studio version for a first listen, even though they are amazing live)
One of my favourite opeth songs, has the perfect balance of aggression, mood, and calm and tells a story. Side note, your hair kept covering part of your T-shirt and the idea of a LEMON SLAYER greatly amused me xD
Love you and your reaction channel. If you love Opeth you have to do two songs together from the album “Watershed”. Coil and Heir Apparent. Coil represents for me A relationship that is toxic and the man ultimately leaves the woman behind but has much pain over doing such but had to do so due to the nature of the relationship ( extremely toxic) and the woman additionally expresses how she feels being left behind and the more remorse that they both feel as the years go by in having to have left each other, Heir Apparent expresses the anger and rage felt as a result of what felt like demonic possession of two people in this horrific toxic relationship and the ups and downs of it. For me the two songs together are as a Shakespearean tragedy, something that I and many people have gone through. I must reiterate that this is what this song meant to me, it may mean something else to others however it is a very emotionally powerful music listening for me from this perspective
Love your channel! Here are my Opeth Recommendations, been a fan of theirs since 02’. -Forest of October -Drapery Falls -Night and the Silent Water -Face of Melinda -Blackwater Park
I loved this! what a lovely video. it feels great to see you react to Opeth, my favorite band of all time. I'd recommend My Arms, Your Hearse the entire album. it's a roller coaster of emotions. Cheers!
Ah, the band and the song that pushed me to be a bass player. I was actually at the NYC gig of that little tour, so I can always watch the footage or listen to the album and I'm right back at Terminal 5. Finally saw those guys again last Sunday night in Pittsburgh. There's Mikael on my hat in the profile pic lol
I'm really happy to see you diving in to Opeth. They are an amazing band. I'm a long time fan of theirs. You should check out something from Damnation to get a little different sound from them. Windowpane or Death Whispered A Lullaby would be great.
Opeth is probably the greatest metal band that ever existed. Maybe the best band period. Check out some of the songs from Damnation. Not a metal song on that album, but all top notch!
Hi Aileen, please could You react to Master's apprentices ... It's one of their many songs that can be considerated a Masterpiece and it's one of their heaviest, love your reactions... Greetings from chile !! 🤘🤘
Seen Opeth live in Adelaide years ago along with Katatonia, was a little drunk and remember it feeling like being in an ethereal dream like state hearing them live. \m/
A great performance is the Roundhouse Tapes version of When. It’s the best live recording of the band imo and a great song. Mikael’s vocals are incredible in the Roundhouse Tapes recordings
If you like his growl vocals I suggest a song from his time in Bloodbath. Mock the Cross is a good song or Hades Rising. He played in Bloodbath with members of Katatonia.
Great reaction to a great performance. Can I suggest for Opeth trying Forests of October, The Moor, Windowpane and Moon Above, Sun Below to get a good idea of how the band has changed over it's 25+ years and the breadth of sounds they've employed.
Just subbed, Opeth is my favorite band they are outright one of the best all around bands out there. They arent necessarily the best at each individual style, but they are very good at every style they play and I love variation. At some point you should check out some clips of Mikael, there's a video where he listens to fan covers, he really is a lovely soul.
Yes!!! 🔥🔥❤Opeth❤🔥🔥 I love them so much. I'm so excited for you to hear more of them. ❤ There are some excellent recommendations in the comments already, but I'll add Coil/Heir Apparent (they go together) because... Awesomeness abounds.
Opeth In their prime really have had some wonderful root note type groovy and bouncy bass lines that differ but compliment the main riffs so well, making it sound warm and comforting. Some prime examples on their album Damnation which a lot of non metal heads gravitate towards because it's their only fully mellow album. A good way to trick people into liking a band which can be quite heavy lol. When I was 17 i discovered opeth after hearing about porcupine tree. First by damnation, then was totally shocked to hear Ghost of perdition. Damnation really is something magical and surprising considering most of their discography. cheers.
I'm a lover of all things Opeth but I'm particularly fond of My arms your hearse, and Blackwater Park albums. I highly highly recommend April Ethereal, Blackwater Park, or Dirge for November those three songs are amazing
3 of my favorites as well.. April Ethereal is so underrated, most people don't mention it, but it was my favorite song for a bit. So many amazing songs on that album tbh.
Aileen, you really need to check out the Blackwater Park cd. The Ghost Reveries cd is amazing, but the Blackwater Park cd has a few that you would really like as well. In no particular order, amongst their older cd's, you would love, "Face of Melinda", "The Moor", Bleak", "Harvest", "The Drapery Falls" , "Blackwater Park", "Deliverance", and "Windowpane". Everyone has their favorites, but those will hit hard with you! "Bleak", "Harvest", and "The Drapery Falls" is, imo, the best 3 song in a row run on any cd. Love the reaction videos!
You should give "The Drapery Falls" and "Dirge For November" a listen from this same concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'd love to see you react to those two.
Love your reactions! Do more OPETH! :3 Just one thing ..you should increase the volume/music in your videos in a good amount, on some head phones you can't crank up the music that much! :-) Best wishes - Jules.
If you enjoy the more melodic aide of opeth, to ris the disease is one of their best, along with windowpane. Blackwater park is a beautiful album as a whole as well.
So many legendary Opeth songs. I could recommend: Serenity Painted Death, Blackwater Park, Godhead's Lament, Deliverance, Bleak, Drapery Falls, Face of Melinda, All Things Will Pass, along with 20-30 other tbh.
Good big, Aileen. I love the use of repetition in this song. It doesn't get old. I saw how much you enjoyed Devin Townsend's vocals. If you're not too familiar with their stuff, could you react to Avenged Sevenfold's Beast and the Harlot Live in the LBC? It's a killer performance and I think you'll love his vocals!
You should check out the band Nevermore. They are a very unique dark prog metal band kind of in the realm of Opeth. I'd recommend their songs 'This Godless Endeavour', 'The Heart Collector', My Acid Words', and 'Born'.
Martin Mendez is such a silky bass player. Since you like bass, I would recommend Drapery Falls, but hear the studio version for a clear listen of the bassline which is epic.
I’m also totally here for a dive into Opeth’s discography, we need more of those channels on youtube
and as for song recommendations i always plug morningrise so The Night and The Silent Water or To Bid You Farewell from that album
I'm glad you're into their music. I'd recommend Bleak cause it's my personal favorite. I'm really excited this week as I'll see them live for the first time this Sunday!
Opeth is my all-time favorite band. Going to see them for the 19th time today.
Have fun at the show!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks
@@YeahResident at the Masonic? Because I was there last night too
@@sentinel2914 Yes at Masonic Temple. Awesome show. It was cool that Mikael mentioned the I-Rock. Opeth playing at the I-Rock was the first time Opeth played here and it was when I discovered Opeth back in 2001. Wow that was 21 years ago. I'm getting old.

Opeth songs to check out next in no particular order: "Bleak" (features vocals by Steven Wilson), "Cusp Of Eternity" (that hook!), "Face of Melinda" (great journey), "Harvest" (the melancholy, no growls), and last but not least "Deliverance" (for the DUN dun dun DUN).

OPETH
"Demon of the Fall"
from the same concert in Royal Albert Hall
My recommendation for next one is their 'Burden', from a 'Watershead' album. Such a beautiful song. Timeless. No growling.
Burden is definitely one of their most beautiful songs,in my top 5
YESSS
YESSHHS
Oh, and don't forget "Sorceress" song, fantastic live performance!
Red Rocks Amphitheatre is crazy!!
the Red Rocks version of Sorceress is freaking perfection. And this is coming from someone whose favorite Opeth albums are their first 3, lol.
I love watching people fall in love with my favorite band, reminds me why I fell so hard for Opeth 20 years ago. If you're still looking to react to them and want a mix of Heavy and Acoustic i would suggest "Blackwater Park" off of Blackwater Park or "The Night and the Silent Water" off of Morningrise, if you want just clean "To big you Farewell" off Morningrise or "Hope Leaves" off Damnation, Happy listening!
Their bass player is amazing in on every track. He has a certain groove that just works so so well. The whole band is legendary
A little more raw recording then "Ghost Of Perdition" due to it being recorded for a DVD....but Opeth kills it every time. Jump to the studio version of this and more....I suggest "Hessian Peel" studio version.🤘
I'd suggest "Windowpane" from their "Damnation" album. It's such a fragile, emotional song and definitely this song (and the whole album) is very different compared to other Opeth albums ruclips.net/video/bSpqLqC7U6g/видео.html&ab_channel=OpethVEVO
Also hope leaves from the same album so beautiful and sad
I'm so glad you noticed the bass in this. I started working on learning it a few months ago and to this day it's still a trip. It's on a whole other level.

I recommend the song "Deliverance" (go with the white album version from Deliverance and Damnation). Also "Windowpane".
Nice reaction!
These are my Current top 10 Opeth Songs
1) April Ethereal
2) The Funeral Portrait
3) Godheads Lament
4) Ghost of Perdition
5) Demon of the Fall
6) When
7) Moonlapse Vertigo
8) Deliverance
9) Black Water Park
10) Master's Apprentices
Yep, all about them Epic Outros :)
MAYH is my fav Opeth Album!
Mine too. Thier best in concept and execution imo.
The discography of Opeth shows a really awesome transition from a death metal sound to an incredible prog metal sound. My favorite was from Blackwater Park to Watershed.
Check out Nestor feat. Samantha Fox - Tomorrow or On The Run, awesome band from Sweden that reunited after like 30 years.
I recommend you "Burden" and "Windowpane" to see the growl free Opeth. They changed their style from time to time, but they still create impressiv music.
Since you witnessed "Ghost of Perdition", I think it's time for you to experience "Blackwater Park". Masterpiece.
Opeth - Harvest Live from Lamentations. Clean vocals are unreal in the performance
going to see them live in September... can't wait!!
A band I was in opened for Opeth at a bar in Tampa Florida called 'The Brass Mug' back in 2001 just after Blackwater Park came out. I had never heard them before then and was blown away by their music. Great guys, too.

Opeth has a million great songs, but one that I think deserves (even) more love is Sorceress.
They are great live, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised how much better the studio versions are as well. You cannot go wrong with anything from the albums Blackwater Park (best album), Still Life, Ghost Reveries, Watershed, Deliverance, or My Arms Your Hearse. Below are some great songs to start:

One of my fav.
Or, a perfect live with Michael at his prime, « When », live at Roundhouse Tapes.
LOVE THIS SONG... A TRUE GEM! The acoustic sounding breakdown in the middle of the song is golden.
This song is such a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
5:22 GROOVY 🤟🤟
people laugh at me for using that word, glad to see I'm not alone 😂
If you are to venture into their all-mellow songs... Windowpane, Benighted, or Burden are some of the good ones to start with.
Mikael Åkerfeldt has an absolutely incredible range of harsh and clean vocals. And beyond that he's an amazing songwriter. He's also pretty damn funny on stage between songs, as you see here. Ever since I first heard them Opeth had absolutely captivated me every time I hear them.
Thank you Aileen for this amazing reaction. I am sure this channel needs more Opeth! =)
Hey, I was fortunate enough to see these guys at the house of blues in downtown San Diego back in '06, when Peter Lindgren was still a member, so much fun...anyway the album recordings, to me, sound slightly different than live, check out moonlapse vertigo from the still life album, you'll see what I mean..peace

If you want to just get right to it, go for Black Rose Immortal. 20 min epic masterpiece from their old school era. It's like 10 songs in 1!
I go between this song and blackwater park as my favorite opeth songs. Can’t wait for you to react to songs off blackwater the whole album is masterpiece 👌🏻
Deliverance up there too
YES !!!! I suggested this one on last Opeth video. She will very much like it I htink. Can't wait to watch !!
next up you should check out Sorceress from the same Red Rocks show as Ghost of Perdition
So happy to see someone appreciate every little thing about this band! Lol Thanks for sharing your experience, this one is my personal fav from them. Looking forward to more reactions! 🤘🤘
Opeth - Deliverance
Gojira - Clone
I discovered them when I was 17. now I'm 30, many things have changed. but along with Agalloch and Tool they always remain in my top 3 favorite bands ever
Tbh, I've always been AWARE of opeth, but by the gods! Did I sleep on them. I love musicality in music. Composition, dynamic range, a journey. Tool, seven spires, rush, ayreon, RJD, symphonic metal to me can mean different elements of symphony. Be it instrumentation, or song structure, or what have you.
‘Bleak’ studio version is their best heavy song. Highly recommend
Just saw them live in Montreal for the third time, best band ever!! You should react to The Drapery Falls. Magnificent song!
even though they aren’t terrible by any means here, the growls are completely inferior to the studio recordings, so I’d recommend you try some studio stuff as well just to hear his absolute peak in vocals
Definitely my least favorite Opeth live album but still better then most things. Live at Shepards bush empire and the Roundhouse tapes are the best live Opeth records
@@dryferr5557 ohh no question
Roundhouse Tapes is their best live recording by far, although RAH has the best setlist I'd say.
His growls were excellent on the first Bloodbath album.
Yeah this is around the time when Michael lost his voice and had to stop growling. 😢
Man can't wait for the premiere, I love them so much and it's always a feeling of listening to them the first time myself, when I watch others do it.
For a totaly different side (especially the vocals) you could try "Faith in Others" or "Burden", other than that I'd suggest "Deliverance" or "Bleak" next! (But maybe the studio version for a first listen, even though they are amazing live)
Second the Bleak recommendation
One of the best outros for one of their best song
Opeth has some *fantastic* bass work. One of their earlier songs, Backwater Park, has some really nice bass parts
One of my favourite opeth songs, has the perfect balance of aggression, mood, and calm and tells a story. Side note, your hair kept covering part of your T-shirt and the idea of a LEMON SLAYER greatly amused me xD
Love you and your reaction channel. If you love Opeth you have to do two songs together from the album “Watershed”. Coil and Heir Apparent. Coil represents for me A relationship that is toxic and the man ultimately leaves the woman behind but has much pain over doing such but had to do so due to the nature of the relationship ( extremely toxic) and the woman additionally expresses how she feels being left behind and the more remorse that they both feel as the years go by in having to have left each other, Heir Apparent expresses the anger and rage felt as a result of what felt like demonic possession of two people in this horrific toxic relationship and the ups and downs of it. For me the two songs together are as a Shakespearean tragedy, something that I and many people have gone through. I must reiterate that this is what this song meant to me, it may mean something else to others however it is a very emotionally powerful music listening for me from this perspective
Love your channel! Here are my Opeth Recommendations, been a fan of theirs since 02’.
-Forest of October
-Drapery Falls
-Night and the Silent Water
-Face of Melinda
-Blackwater Park
I loved this! what a lovely video. it feels great to see you react to Opeth, my favorite band of all time. I'd recommend My Arms, Your Hearse the entire album. it's a roller coaster of emotions. Cheers!
Ah, the band and the song that pushed me to be a bass player. I was actually at the NYC gig of that little tour, so I can always watch the footage or listen to the album and I'm right back at Terminal 5. Finally saw those guys again last Sunday night in Pittsburgh. There's Mikael on my hat in the profile pic lol
Perfect. Just perfect. The song as well as your reacting. Now I wish you 'The Moor'.... You're welcome.
Glad you noticed Martins bass lines! He inspired me to pick up the bass in the first place
Please, you must listen to The Drapery Falls. It's my favorite Opeth's song ever.
I’ve actually had beers with the guys. They are as nice as could be. If you really want to go back, listen to “The Twilight is my Robe.”
I love this song! Seeing others react to it is like hearing it for the first time! It's fun to share the joy of music
I'm really happy to see you diving in to Opeth. They are an amazing band. I'm a long time fan of theirs. You should check out something from Damnation to get a little different sound from them. Windowpane or Death Whispered A Lullaby would be great.

Hi Aileen, please could You react to Master's apprentices ... It's one of their many songs that can be considerated a Masterpiece and it's one of their heaviest, love your reactions... Greetings from chile !! 🤘🤘
They got 3 in a row on that album
Deliverance
A fair judgment
Masters Apprentice
But to be honest almost every song is a masterpiece by Opeth
Amazing one to listen to indeed, that and the drapery falls
@@dryferr5557 You're damn right, it's like every song is an album in itself 😂
I am surprised how overlooked Master's Apprentices is, it's one of their best songs
Seen Opeth live in Adelaide years ago along with Katatonia, was a little drunk and remember it feeling like being in an ethereal dream like state hearing them live. \m/
A great performance is the Roundhouse Tapes version of When. It’s the best live recording of the band imo and a great song. Mikael’s vocals are incredible in the Roundhouse Tapes recordings
Thanks Aileen.!!!!
Definitely a depression buster that song!!!
Ahahaha 🤣🤣
♥️From Strayla!!🇭🇲🤘🎵💯
If you like his growl vocals I suggest a song from his time in Bloodbath. Mock the Cross is a good song or Hades Rising.
He played in Bloodbath with members of Katatonia.
One of my favourite Opeth songs ever. Loved your reaction!
Great reaction to a great performance.
Can I suggest for Opeth trying Forests of October, The Moor, Windowpane and Moon Above, Sun Below to get a good idea of how the band has changed over it's 25+ years and the breadth of sounds they've employed.
Yay Opeth again. I love this band, everything they do is such a vibe.
Akerfeldt is the one of man with the blessed voice, his control is unbelievable... and, the old Opeth is more better than today 😀😄
Martin Mendez (the bassist) is my secret hero of this band. Just supergroovy, only clean sound, only Fender Jazz Bass. Supercool
Just subbed, Opeth is my favorite band they are outright one of the best all around bands out there. They arent necessarily the best at each individual style, but they are very good at every style they play and I love variation. At some point you should check out some clips of Mikael, there's a video where he listens to fan covers, he really is a lovely soul.
I ❤️THIS SONG!!!!!
Greetings from Chile 🔥🔥
Fuck yes this is my favorite Opeth song, I love it so much.
Seeing your reaction increases my enjoyment of this masterpiece a thousand-fold. Thank you ❤️
Yes!!! 🔥🔥❤Opeth❤🔥🔥
I love them so much. I'm so excited for you to hear more of them. ❤
There are some excellent recommendations in the comments already, but I'll add Coil/Heir Apparent (they go together) because... Awesomeness abounds.
Love the reaction, love opeth. I would also recommend ne Obliviscaris and plague flowers the Kaleidoscope
Opeth In their prime really have had some wonderful root note type groovy and bouncy bass lines that differ but compliment the main riffs so well, making it sound warm and comforting.

3 of my favorites as well.. April Ethereal is so underrated, most people don't mention it, but it was my favorite song for a bit. So many amazing songs on that album tbh.
Aileen, you really need to check out the Blackwater Park cd. The Ghost Reveries cd is amazing, but the Blackwater Park cd has a few that you would really like as well.
In no particular order, amongst their older cd's, you would love, "Face of Melinda", "The Moor", Bleak", "Harvest", "The Drapery Falls" , "Blackwater Park", "Deliverance", and "Windowpane". Everyone has their favorites, but those will hit hard with you! "Bleak", "Harvest", and "The Drapery Falls" is, imo, the best 3 song in a row run on any cd.
Love the reaction videos!
You should give "The Drapery Falls" and "Dirge For November" a listen from this same concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'd love to see you react to those two.
Ohhhh also I would like to see you react to the song DELIVERANCE by them. It is my Favourite song. You will not be disappointed
Love your reactions! Do more OPETH! :3
Just one thing ..you should increase the volume/music in your videos in a good amount, on some head phones you can't crank up the music that much! :-) Best wishes - Jules.
Been watching you for a week or so. Subscribing to hear more Opeth.
One of the most amazingly talented bands on earth!
You should listen to their album Damnation. A masterpiece in music and definitely their top 3 albums
If you enjoy the more melodic aide of opeth, to ris the disease is one of their best, along with windowpane. Blackwater park is a beautiful album as a whole as well.
It usually takes a number of listens to digest Opeth. I love that you like it!
Also!!!perhaps!?! (Martin Axenrot) made "Opeth" a little smooter with his famous "Ghost hits"on the snare drum.
This era Opeth makes me sad as you can hear Michael is already losing his voice when playing live. 😢
Another great video you’re choosing some really good songs!
So many legendary Opeth songs. I could recommend: Serenity Painted Death, Blackwater Park, Godhead's Lament, Deliverance, Bleak, Drapery Falls, Face of Melinda, All Things Will Pass, along with 20-30 other tbh.
Enjoyed your reaction. Would be cool to see The Moor, The Drapery Falls, Bleak, Deliverance, or Lotus Eater.
great track, try Opeth - Deliverance (Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London)
No one ever mentions Universal Truth. The song is great and the video....oh the video...
Good big, Aileen. I love the use of repetition in this song. It doesn't get old. I saw how much you enjoyed Devin Townsend's vocals. If you're not too familiar with their stuff, could you react to Avenged Sevenfold's Beast and the Harlot Live in the LBC? It's a killer performance and I think you'll love his vocals!
Opeth is playing with Mastodon in Portland Oregon on the tenth......
You should check out the band Nevermore. They are a very unique dark prog metal band kind of in the realm of Opeth. I'd recommend their songs 'This Godless Endeavour', 'The Heart Collector', My Acid Words', and 'Born'.
