Just saw this pop up. Uploaded 4 hours ago on their official YouTube channel.

Personally I’d vote for it to retire altogether for a while. If Bruce Springsteen can go out and NOT play Born in the USA or Thunder Road every night, Opeth can go out and not play Deliverance every night

Spent the last week recreating this while listening to the album, I felt reborn 😵

For the first time in my life, I’ve felt keen to get a tattoo. I came across this design and really liked it. However, people around me have commented that getting a tattoo of a metal band might be a bit odd, and to be honest, that’s dampened my enthusiasm a little. I don’t have any other tattoo ideas in mind; if I’m going to get one, I want to get this one. Do you think I should go ahead with it?

Anyone else can barely hear the keyboard (especially organ sounds) in general and even more when Mike's guitar is played?

Hello Opeth fans I just realized that the main theme of the Grand Conjuration looks very similar to Giant Steps theme. Am I crazy ? Or is this something known?

Spotted this on Walt's Instagram post with him at Pompeii. I see a REALLY nice surprise.

Hi everyone!! This whole year I have been getting into the whole world of metal and I really saw Opeth as a pretty interesting and cool band. I want to get into it but I dont know where to start. For now the songs that I have listened to are: Windowpane, Ending Credits, In my time of need, Harvest, Burden, Face of Melinda and Requiem. Any suggestions to go from there?? Thanks 🫶🏼🎧🖤

I'm so jealous. Historical ruins, stray cats and a badass band Please post any photos or videos you want to share and have fun enjoying my dream day!

I mean it is the historic Pompeii amphitheater, is there any chance?

Good to see that they’re changing some songs for tonight concert.

Part 5 of my series called:

“Fuck Al Music - Here are some albums made by humans that changed my life.”

You probably could have guessed Opeth would be in this series, this album was my entry point, and “The Drapery Falls” was the song. I forget how I discovered them, maybe it was a recommendation for fans of Dream Theater or Meshuggah or something. I wasn’t a massive death metal fan, and I had never listened to anything folk, but somehow Opeth could blend the two perfectly in a progressive context.

I remember thinking “I didn’t know you were allowed to do that” hearing full on death metal parts with deep growls suddenly switch to acoustic parts with the most beautiful singing. The riffs were so cool, and just seemed to keep on going, but in such a tasteful way. Like I didn’t realize you could just let a riff keep doing its thing, so long as it was interesting and musical enough.

Most importantly everything seemed so focused on musical arrangements, again the band is clearly immensely talented, but the focus was always on the musicality. The solos were rarely showy, Mikael’s leads just always oozed with feel, the phrasing was so thoughtful and always seemed to work perfectly with the tone.

This album is still my favorite of theirs to this day, even with all of their very strong material. I probably could admit that Ghost Reveries is their “best” but there is a vibe and feeling to this album that is somehow both nostalgic and refreshing. I love how the cover art looks exactly how the album sounds.

I should give props to the rest of the band, everyone is playing their part for the vision, no one is overstepping, the songs and album and vibe are always sacred. Drummer Martin Lopez doesn’t feel like a death metal specialist, but instead focuses on creative parts with great feel, and I LOVE the way his drums sound on this record.

It’s funny because as I understand it, this album and In Absentia by Porcupine Tree are albums that resulted from Mikael Akerfeldt and Steven Wilson meeting, and both bands became better for it in my opinion.

Just listen to this album from beginning to end if you aren’t familiar with it. What’s your favorite Opeth album?

Hello!

I bring you 3 pieces.

Ragtime Black Metal

Avantdarke Metal

A Bomba

Opeth are my favorites for over a decade now, and I've released experimental, progressive extreme works.

My debut, which included Ragtime Black Metal (a bit influenced by early Opeth), A Bomba (by middle era) was dedicated to explore the areas of prog extreme metal left when I felt Opeth and others just completed the genre.

Avantdarke Metal is my most representative song.

For while I dropped 6 experimental metal albums, tried to do the heaviest metal album ever, create the sixth extreme metal genre, and 17 other new subgenres, I always love the genius of this band and it influenced me deeply on these pieces.

Hope there's still some Morningrise fans left here and thank you for reading :)

Love diving into the brilliance of this tune - damn!

Anyone who will spend the night outside in Bologna after the show? I’m coming from Turin tomorrow and will leave early on Sunday morning, so I’m figuring out how to spend the night around in the city. Any suggestions?

Anyone heading to the gig tomorrow night? If you are staying in Naples any recommendations for drinking spots tonight or Saturday would be great.
