listening to Ghost Reveries rn and Ghost of Perdition, Baying of the Hounds and Harlequin Forest are established favs but I forgot that this one is really good too!

I feel like my last post was just made yesterday lol. I need to mentally process this year.

Anyway, Damnation (2003) by Opeth, is probably the best album I've listened all year long. I can go on about it for a while, but I'm short in time. In summary, it has clean vocals, good production, and a good use of instruments/effect. Pretty cool progressive rock, differentiating from most of Opeth's discography being progressive metal with death metal roots. This album embarked me on the journey to listen to more of Opeth, however, this specific album highly stands out from the rest. Lacking those fierce aggressive growls or heavy instruments, it has that signature to the sound, a unique essence. To understand this, you'd just have to feel the music.

But most people I know don't listen to this genre or just don't feel the superficial vibe to it and I ended up looking dumb like right now lol. 🙁

After Damnation, I listened to Morningrise (1996). I had already listened to "To Bid You Farewell" (the first Opeth song I listened to) and man! The sound completely captivated me, the use of the guitar reminded me of the sound produced by a classic like the popular Argentinian rock band, Soda Stereo. But you'd probably only be able to notice it halfway through the song anyway. Since this was one of Opeth's earlier works, it had a higher death metal influence added to it. If anything, To Bid You Farewell was the calmest song in the whole album haha.

Next album was another classic, Ghost Reveries (2005). And all I have to say is wow, just wow, the storytelling is truly magnificent and draws my attention into getting lost in the music. Not to mention once again, the use of the instruments helped create a strong atmosphere, willingly fitting into the energy. I just loved it. My personal favorite was Reverie/Harlequin Forest, although I prefer the live version at the Royal Albert Hall. I can find myself feeling this version of the song more.

Lastly, I listened to Sorceress, and even though it was a calm album it just wasn't entirely my style. Yes, I'd say the music is good, maybe I have to give it another listen and get used to it. So personally, I don't have plenty to say about it other than the fact it was calm and had its small loud moments. Cool album cover though, probably one of my favorite ones in general.

And that's all! Next Opeth album I'll listen to will be Deliverance or Blackwater Park. :)

i think they put crack cocaine in this song (and album in general) because why is it so addicting

Some of my recent faves… :)

I’ve been a little familiar with Clayman for a while and like the melodeath musical style a lot, which I’d like to explore now I’m tolerating the harsh vocals better. This is the bonus track from their most recent album, which I gave a try earlier and liked, but this one is an utter banger!

This was recommended to me on apple music bc it features Courtney of Spiritbox, and the verses are a little intense but the riff & chorus are awesome – I’ve found that metalcore songs either don’t do much for me or grab me, and this is the latter :)

I know of Death but haven’t really listened to them mostly bc of the guttural vocals, but I gave this song a go and the guitar work is phenomenal. I hear they’re more progressive on these last couple of albums so they might be worth exploring, and maybe at some point I’ll be ready for the rest…

I’ve known this album for a while and this one is just awesome - it came up in shuffle recently and reminded me how great it is. Early prog metal is definitely something I want to get to know better :)

One of the last Gojira songs I heard when finishing their discography, and it’s just awesome!

I know a handful of Sepultura songs and as with other stuff, like the music but the vocals are a work in progress. I love their groove, though, and this one is very cool.

One of my faves from my first impressions of Opeth and one of the heaviest of their prog era, this is the Swedish version of Width of a Circle – I like hearing Mikael sing in his native tongue :)

Another initial-impressions Opeth fave is this one from the heavier end of their discography – the balance of melody/heaviness and harsh/clean vocals on this song and album is great!

I’ve been listening to this tune again almost daily for this past week. I feel like I got back into Opeth more than ever and it’s a very good time.
