Currently listening to snippets of the new album. Very impressive. I've always avoided these guys because of the whole death metal growling thing. If I wanted to listen to my late grandmother clear her phlegm sodden throat, I'd have recorded her. Sorry, that's what that growling sounds like to me.

Tell me this, has he stopped growling completely, what albums should I start with, what albums should I avoid?

Thanks! 1022.gif

If you don't like growling get the new one and Damnation.

Damnation = schla03.gif

surprised no one is talking about the tour that starts next week. they keep skipping my hometown. bummer as i am not going drive that far to see these guys. just saw they announced 26 dates in europe too.

listening to the NPR stream now.  cool10.gif

I'm taking my son to the Dallas show on Oct. 6. We're both really psyched. Got that cool early entry, signed CD package. Sucks they won't be near you. Have you seen them live?

no. in fact i am still very much a fledgling fan. i do have the roundhouse tapes which is live and its killer.

 

hope you enjoy the show!

But did you get your lucky Opeth gold coin?

Just listening to the 5.1 for the first time now.

Ha! Nope. This was just the CD with the signed booklet I got when I ordered my ticket for the show in November. I don't know why, but for some reason I thought I would get the Cd at the concert, when I got my ticket. I was really glad to see it came yesterday.

Got my cd/dvd through yesterday, with the lenticular cover and 'Making of Heritage' booklet smile.gif

 

I listened to the 5.1 mix last night. There is some fabulous material on this album, I think. Nepenthe, Haxprocess and Folklore leaped out at me straight away and have continued to do so on subsequent listens. I can't quite get my head around Famine yet. I never expected to hear Opeth do a four minute rocker like Slither. I'm also quite surprised that the bonus tracks were left off the album, cos I like them both a lot.

 

Even though it's quite old school proggy there still seems to be that distinctive dark atmosphere about it that Opeth are so good at. I think it's going to be a real grower.

Hey you Opeth freaks I've been listening to Pyre and Face in the Snow, what do you lot think of the two DVD bonus tracks?

 

It sucks that you seem to only be able to listen to them on the DVD. Even on the last album you could rip the DVD tracks to your comp. WTF eh?
