| | Opeth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Opeth's second album, Morningrise, was recorded in March-April of 1996 and released later that year. | | | Opeth continued their experimentation with time signature changes and syncopation, notably in the intro and outro to "Deliverance" (the intro being played in 7/8 time and the outro showcasing heavy syncopation), and in "By the Pain I See in Others", the album's closing track. | | | Opeth adds several lighter elements to their music with acoustic guitar interludes, and influences from jazz, '70s progressive rock and blues on top of a fast, churning death metal-esque sound. |

| | And as always, Opeth use lengthy acoustic guitar passages to counter the heavier moments of the album. | | | Opeth has proven with their last three releases that their songwriting consists of their aforementioned formula and that they are simply stuck in a rut. | | | Opeth crosses the line between majestic and redundant in quite a few instances on the record, a most unfortunate artistic decision that could have been avoided by, say, taking breaks during the grueling recording process and listening to the master tapes with fresh ears. |

| | Lord Of The Pit reviews Opeth |
| | Myself, I have only heard a handful of their songs, but with each song lasting upwards of ten minutes that is the equivalent of a few albums for any other band. | | | Opeth fixed their shit and tore into a new song from Blackwater Park almost immediately. | | | Opeth took the stage at 9:00 and after some short greetings began with an old song. |

| | Amazon.com: Damnation: Music: Opeth |
| | However, this CD is a bit different from Opeth's other albums. | | | After six albums of establishing connections between the seemingly contradictory genres of extreme metal, folk, and progressive rock, Opeth have finally decided to devote an entire album to exploring their classic folk/prog influences with "Damnation." As such, this isn't a metal album, but Opeth's creativity and top-notch musicianship are still in evidence. | | | Even though most people associate "mellow Opeth" with "acoustic guitar Opeth", _Damnation_ is primarily an electric guitar album (with Steven Wilson's enchanting mellotrons and pianos appearing at times). |

| | InternetEd Reviews: Opeth- Deliverance |
| | As far as technical progressive death metal goes, Opeth remains unchallenged as they continue to consistently and successfully develop their one-of-a-kind sound from album to album. | | | Ever since their debut album Orchid, the progressive metal band Opeth have received an endless stream of praise for their efforts. | | | To describe Opeth’s sound is no easy undertaking—the band somehow blends death metal with progressive rock and even a hint of jazz and blues, forming a sound that is technically dazzling while still being musically accessible. |

| | OPETH Damnation reviews and MP3 |
| | Opeth took the dare and produced a beautiful album that is a great example for other metal bands to follow, it shows that a metal band isn't just about heavy riffs and harsh lyrics and vocals. | | | Although Opeth have always included acoustic guitar interludes in their music, the band has chosen this time to take this approach a step further and have created a very mild and smooth album, poignant but never harsh or brutal. | | | Firstly, this album sounds a lot better now i have all their albums as it is great to just put on a pure mellow Opeth album inbetween listening to their superb riffs and heavy vocals. |

| | Look Your Last Upon The Sun (Opeth) - Musician Forums |
| | Opeth began their inexorable rise in Stockholm, way back in the late 80s when the then teenaged Mikael Akerfeldt was asked to contribute bass guitar to a fledgling incarnation of the band by its founder member, David Isberg. | | | Even at this early stage, Opeth were developing a sound entirely of their own; a darkly progressive combination of death metal and more subtle, melodic and acoustic elements that manifested itself in lengthy and elaborate songs that exuded imagination, invention and class. | | | Some opeth might be a hard listen the first time around, what with their ultra long songs and all. |

| | BNR Metal Pages -- Opeth |
| | Loosely labelled a death metal band, Opeth is really so much more, with their mix of mid-paced riffing, acoustic guitar interludes, and frequent tempo and mood changes continuing to push the boundaries of extreme music. | | | Opeth write long songs (often over ten minutes long), but the diversity of the songwriting keeps things interesting. | | | While the earlier albums are undeniably more brutal in their approach (and often regarded as fan favorites) it's the later releases, starting with 2001's Blackwater Park, where all the pieces truly fit together. |

| | Similar to the famous Opeth track "Deliverance", at the end of the song, there is a repeated beat in the music that the guys play, and it ends at that. | | | The thing is, Opeth put this album together for you to enjoy all of it as much as you can. | | | Being the longest song on the whole album, you'd expect more of the death metal vocals from Mikael, but overall, it is a track that you would be calmed and relaxed by. |

| | Opeth: Ghost Reveries - PopMatters Music Review |
| | While the new album is a decidedly moody piece of work, it's both a very accessible album and a welcome return to the monstrous sounds of the past, something instantly noticeable on the opening track "Ghost of Perdition", which, after a brief, understated intro, explodes with distorted chords and death vocals. | | | For all of their innovation, though, Opeth's music has always come off as a bit chilly, dazzling in the kind of technical expertise prog fans adore, but lacking in the kind of accessibility that goes over well with casual listeners of metal. | | | Over the past decade, Opeth have evolved into one of the most distinct sounding bands in metal music. |

| | Opeth |
| | Opeth transcends musical boundaries, and they are the only band I’ve ever heard to be so aggressive and brutal at times, and yet sound just as melodic and dare I say beautiful as when they’re playing their softer material. | | | What I’m trying to say is that Opeth’s death metal label is a misnomer, so to disregard the band based on its classification would be a grave injustice, and one does not need to be an avid appreciator of Scandinavian metal in order to love their music. | | | To consider Opeth a mere death metal band would be like labeling Rush’s debut a pretentious prog-rock record. |

| | CoC : Opeth - Ghost Reveries : Review |
| | Opeth's previous twin albums, the more death metal oriented _Deliverance_ and even the quieter and experimental _Damnation_, seemed relatively straightforward to get into compared to this -- both good albums in their own right, though neither of them a favourite of mine amidst the band's discography. | | | Ten years after their debut, Opeth are back with their eighth full- length album. | | | The days when Opeth would only alternate between their unique type of death metal and acoustic interludes are far gone. |

| | No one that is, but Lopez and his band, Opeth. | | | For a long time Opeth has been the black metal band that comes out of insanely heavy parts and then breaks into pretty, acoustic sections. | | | But as you listen, you will notice that not only is Lopez playing the main, off-time stuff, but that in the background he's got a third arm or something banging away keeping it all in 4/4. |

| | When you look at it on paper, it is bizarre that Swedish band Opeth is becoming as popular as it is in the U.S. The group has been together for 15 years, and it has taken nearly that long for it to crack mainstream North America. | | | But Opeth's powerful songwriting is one reason why the group is winning more fans. | | | Its progressive style makes it the Pink Floyd of death metal, and Opeth defies the genre's template by alternating between aggressive passages and soothing interludes in its music. |

| | Personally, I will only listen to OPETH when I'm "in that mood" (you know the mood) where I: a) have lots of time on my hands, b) feel like hearing music that isn't at all "formulaic", c) just want to listen to OPETH!!!! | | | I was personally left a bit disappointed by that particular effort, as it lacked the dense, emotive acoustics found on my personal favourite, "Morningrise", though it was still excellent in it's own right. | | | Trying to explain certain songs and what one finds appealing about them is always a bit difficult considering that the average OPETH-song on "Still Life" is around 8:30, so we fans must often talk about the "...awesome part at X:XX-X:XX in 'X' song" (make sense at all?). |
