opeth

1. (Opeth) (1302↑, 82↓)

Progressive Death metal band formed in 1990; known for their blend of folk, metal, and progressive 70's rock, and Mikael Åkerfeld's brutal death growls and beautiful clean vocals. One of the most talented extreme metal bands around today.

Opeth is a very good band.

A truly talented and intelligent band which creates original music. Probably can't be understood by most nu-metal kids because the songs aren't 3 minutes of complaining about how much their life supposedly sucks.

Opeth kicks your ass.

4. (Opeth) (528↑, 86↓)

Absolutely the best death metal band ever. Their style of metal is unlike any other, incorporating folk and soft melodies into their music. Opeth is a band that doesn't care about image and hide their faces under masks.

5. (Opeth) (429↑, 40↓)

Swedish 4-piece band that can make a 10minute+ song sound like it's only 4 minutes. The very extreme thought of putting Double kick drums, acoustic guitars, and deep growls in the same song was unheard of. Until now. The Drastic changes from death metal to melodic melodies gives me chills just thinking about it. Absolute metal (and all music as far as that goes) geniuses. Period.

What you get when you take folk, prog, and death metal and mix in a blender of musical talent. When you listen to this music, the chills that go up your spine are astounding. Imagine standing on a windswept moor in the middle of nowhere, walking anyplace. The kind of desolate longing and anticipated dread that this style of scene conjures up is the essence of Opeth.

11. (Opeth) (116↑, 26↓)

An absolutely terrific progressive death metal band from Sweden, who lump together long, acoustic interludes, with long bouts of dynamic, layered guitar, so heavy and simultaneously intricate that it's immediately orgasm-inducing. Also a wonderful live band, who are probably a little too self-depriciative on stage with their humble attitudes, but play and sing all of their songs perfectly. Too often, though, their drummer flies home in mid-tour to suck his mother's tit, and they're forced to find an emergency replacement. Each song stands alone as a heart-touching story of death and sorrow, which are woven together to create each album, which is called an "observation." Mikael (vocalist) and Peter (guitarist) are sexier than sin, and should be allowed to play naked, lying down, and covered with Lubriderm body lotion under dark candlelight.

Opeth is a perfect death metal alternative to a wanky, long-winded black metal band.

Seemingly one of the best bands to ever walk this earth. Their insane guitarists and drummer and bass player make up for some of the people that do not like the hardcore death growls. But, their album Damnation, which is arguably one of the greatest albums ever released, is an acoustic album. It kicks amazing ass.

FUCK IN FLAMES\! In Flames suck. Opeth are, without a doubt, the most original metal bands out there, but unfortunately most of the Opeth fans who have posted thus far are really just nu-metal kids who like sum41 and In Flames. Opeth plays complex music and the average song is 10+ minutes long. They don't have stupid lyrics and don't complain like the angry teenagers playing in nu-metal bands do. Opeth play a combination of doom, death, progressive, gothic, jazz, and folk.

Listen to Morningrise, My Arms Your Hearse, and Blackwater Park. Truely genius.

The greatest band ever. Swedish Progressive Black Melodic Death Metal. Ten times better than In Flames, and Sum41 isn't even a band in comparison. Matter of fact the name "Sum41" doesn't even belong on the same page as "Opeth." BLASPHEMERS\!

The Moor is good but it'd be better if that and Godhead's Lament were one song so I could actually say Opeth have a best song\!

Opeth is the best band ever thrown in to this godforsaken earth, their music is insparational and... just kickass. Although in Flames is alright they're still within no comparison of Opeth andd there for shoulden't be in the same sentence unless saying "Opeth owns inflames" etc etc. Opeth rules all.

All of you who are comparing Opeth to acts like Korn and Slipknot are just being idiots and need to open up your tastes. Neither band has called themselves Death Metal, or Black Metal, or Progressive Metal, or compared themselves to Opeth, and you really shouldn't either. Retards. That being said, Opeth is a very good band, even though I've only heard one of their albums. They're not the best band in the world but they do come close and have a lot of talent.

Opeth was formed in Sweden by Lindgren and Åkerfeldt, bla bla bla. For more detailed info, go talk to the nu-metal-haters who post here.

Jesus fucking Christ, Opeth is the least gothic-looking band ever, faggot. Take a look at their pictures, they don't have chains, they wear yellow shirts and shit. Besides, goth is gay, anyway. And Sum41 is a group of tonedeaf fuckheads.

Synonym for Overrated. A bunch of pansies from Sweden who believe in ghosts.

"That band has a good guitarist and some ok themes, but they are just like Opeth. *List of good prog bands* are far superior and don't make 5 minute riffs making a song 5 times longer than it needs to be."

I know many people may disagree, but I'm posting my opinion. - Fans either wish to fellate them or fellate them with chainsaws. A large percentage of the fans on this website are the former. Judging from the praises they sing of their favourite band, they tend to come out either as: - 1) Opeth are quite easily the most beautiful band on the planet. Blending progressive and death metal, they create music which touches me on a level I've never been touched before. - or - 2) omgz i luv teh op3th, stfu u slipnot fagits, opeth r00lz\!\!\!\!\!\!\! - Both types of reviews are stupid. The only reason people find the music of Opeth so "revolutionary" and "unique" is because it's the first time they've experienced music that mixes clean and distorted guitars, as well as growled and clean vocals. Honestly, this is NOTHING new. Anyone who knows a shit about metal would know this to be true. - Apparently the music has atmosphere. No...no it doesn't. The time signatures change too much for you to get lost in the music in any way. The death growling and distorted guitars are just awkward and comes in at incredibly pointless times, as the songs have no structure and just tend to meander and meander and meander and meander and then end. - Hey, I like Opeth, but only their acoustic album. It's not that bad. But honestly people, some of you need to get your faces from Akerfeldt's pubes and just TRY listening to something else.

Opeth is allright. I doubt this review will even be published.

A shitty band, who have gained more notoriety in the last few years because they are supposedly 'original' and 'progressive'. Their latest album, which goes beyond the terms [gay] and [emo]. Opeth fans are also very [retarded]. Do not say Opeth sucks in front of them.
