Their current lineup definitely has more technical ability. Friedrik is one hell of a guitar player who can shred like crazy. And Martin the drummer has some crazy chops
@@tolga4497 for me is kind of Ironic, Orchid and Morningrise are my favorite Albums, but there is something witth the My arms your Hearse - Ghost Reveries era that I lovee
@@charlieoc6219 There is no less chemistry between the band’s members now than before. Seeing Mikael and Fred both doing lead vocals in that last verse in All Things Will Pass is beautiful.
Mikael has gone on record multiple times saying that these sessions were the least fun he ever had recording, which is unfortunate. I watched this mini doc on the Lamentations DVD a lot when I got it.
This band change my perception of music. Thanks to them I've realised that I can do more and they among a few other bands influenced my improvisation skills. Thanks to Opeth I've opened my eyes wider for the progressive metal genre and after that for the other music genres like jazz and blues but also I've ventured deeper into death metal. I fuckin love this band and this sick as hell Deliverance outro...
Damnation and Ghost Reveries were, in my opinion, the peak of Opeth. They are still amazing though and I love their progress. But those two albums takes me to places like no other does.
I would say the best album is Blackwater Park. On a musical point of view I'd say the boys hit the peak (of the classic era) during Deliverance & Damnation. It is totally diverse, has absolutely everything from their darkest to their softest etc. Even though those two are not the best albums, I think they showcase the best musicianship of the classic lineup. I'd say Ghost reveries is close behind those two. I still prefer Deliverance (and Still life) to GR because they are just crazier. And BWP is #1 because it just flows absolutely perfectly from the first to the last second, which Deliverance does not because they made the beginning and end of By the pain I see in others a bit weird.
Really love Opeth's run from 1999 through 2008, and these two albums showcase the two dynamics in Opeth's style, separated almost completely, although Deliverance does still have a couple of clean aspects which makes it somewhat still a traditional Opeth album, but it is noticably less clean sounding than Still Life, or Blackwater Park, for example. Damnation is such a great rock album, they never sounded so organic with their rock material once they transitioned after Watershed, I do understand the appeal, and I like some of it, but it's just not as much for me as the albums released during aforementioned years were.
I watched the entire thing a few days ago. It's great. But now that I saw it, I'm kinda hoping Mikael will make his super evil and dark progressive black metal concept album he's talking about at the end of the making of. Sure Ghost reveries is amazing, but that sounds more interesting really :D
I first saw this back in 2003 when the Live at Shepherd’s Hall came out. I didn’t like Opeth because a dude who my ex girlfriend was trying to date was a huge fan. I remember I got stoned with some friends and Windowpane came on and I was blown away. I knew Opeth as a Death Metal band and up until that point had never heard a DM band with such versatility. None the less a DM band that could paint such vivid mental imagery with its chord progressions. Like walking through a Foggy forest, or trekking across a haunted moor. It almost sounded like Medicare folk meets the blues. Wow. 20 years later and I’m an even bigger fan than ever! Genius musicians
I prefer Axe. I mean songs like "The Lotus Eater" or "The Devil's Orchard" would've been a lot different without him. I think Axe is a better drummer. Everyone has a bad impression about Axe, but he has improved a lot since The Roundhouse Tapes.
Axe is the better drummer technically, but he just doesn't have Lopez's feel or sense of dynamics. You can hear it when he plays classic era Opeth tunes live. Its kind of unfair to judge him that way, they're not HIS songs, nor were they written to his style/strengths. Likewise, I bet Lopez would struggle with Axe era drumlines if he ever came back to the band (highly doubtful he would).
It's just my opinion. To me, Peter's playing seems a lot more genuine & has a lot more heart than Fredrik's. But, that could also have something to do with the fact that I don't really like anything after Peter left.
I can't help but cry "nostalgia". Colourless and static? Fredrik is probably one of the most colourful and interesting players in modern metal. Not liking his playing is one thing, but calling it colourless seems a bit ignorant considering the influences he covers quite overtly in his playing. Have you heard the Nepenthe solo, or any of the solos off Pale Communion?
I've seen Peter with Opeth and Fredrik with Opeth several times. I love Peter and BWP is one of my all time favorite albums, but Fredrik can play circles around him. And he is fully capable of moody, soulful playing, and shows it live, but people hear shredding and dismiss him as some robotic player. If you haven't seen Opeth live, then you are speaking from ignorance.
The reason that you don't like Fredrik because he never wrote a solo with classical licks and you cannot play them well? Fredrik could write a solo like Deliverance but I'm not sure that Peter could write "River"s solo (from Pale Communion). He's different as fuck. Peter was always simple and he was easy to listen, that always made sense. I'm sure, most of the Opeth fans never heard like Fredrik. Everyday I see guitarists like they push the first fret and the 24th fret at the same time or 10 fingers are not enough for them, I do not call them guitarists (like Tosin Abasi, he is.. just ridicilous, he's tiring me while I'm listening to him, just overdoing.) There are two things to do, nothing and like it. Do not tell me "SOUL SOUL SOUL." What the fuck soul is?
I love how I instantly recognised all the drum parts. God I've listened to this album millions of times
Sometimes good Sometimes shit agreed!
yeah, I have also listsen to this album about a million times
I see ur a man of culture as well reading your name
yeah, me too
gotta love the prog circlejerk
2:50 - He's playing these creepy demonic sounding solos while also looking like he just got off his 9-5 job, what a legend.
Sad that he's now back to only doing 9-5 :( Fred is still awesome tho!
@@sangpenikam7 Fred is one of the greatest guitarists on this planet. Different level. Even Mikael said that many times.
Peter Lindgren is a magnificent guitar player. No doubt about that.
The drums in the Deliverance outro...
...are goat
Ah yes, the Martin era of opeth
I like Martin but Martin is definitely better. I think we can all agree however the best member is Martin
Lopeth
Martin Lopez is one of the greatest drummers of rock history. He is incredible creative and never too much.
Martin Mendez, Martin Lopez, Martin Axenrot. So many Martins. 😆
si
9:25 hmmmm I wonderrrr which part that is .... hmmmm....
If that was not a joke , then the part is from the song Deliverance, it's the outro
fucking hell dude you not getting the sarcasm is so fucking hilarious!
@@fantastic_joe you've chosen a great name for your channel. morningrise is my fav album
@@eddiepacer I see that you are a man of culture as well
"Fantastic Joe" is my favorite opeth song too!
and that my friends is the best line-up Opeth ever had.
Their current lineup definitely has more technical ability. Friedrik is one hell of a guitar player who can shred like crazy. And Martin the drummer has some crazy chops
Nordin and Farfalla were better in my opinion
@@tolga4497 for me is kind of Ironic, Orchid and Morningrise are my favorite Albums, but there is something witth the My arms your Hearse - Ghost Reveries era that I lovee
@@colinclark1981 correct , but in my opinion that Technical Hability has left the passion aside, just the way I see and hear Opeth now days
@@charlieoc6219 There is no less chemistry between the band’s members now than before. Seeing Mikael and Fred both doing lead vocals in that last verse in All Things Will Pass is beautiful.
My brother introduced me to the album Damnation. I am not a metal head but this is a classic album of my lifetime.
Lopez' kit sounds fucking tight

@@OfficialArthusamakh they really should have put the ending of by the pain as a bonus track or something. Kinda like an outro interlude.

the best Opeth lineup

THANK YOU for uploading this!! :)
the greatest odd twin albums
10:34 this man fixes computers for a living
Thats mikeal not Peter but ok
Recording masterpieces! Opeth rules the World!
Mikael with BATHORY SHIRT
AWESOME DUDE !!!
:( I want to see the full making of of these and Blackwater Park.
These videos of Blackwater Park and Still Life would complete my life
Hope the next album will mix their new prog rock style with the old classic opeth
Martin Lopez is a fucking machine, beast of a drummer

That would be amazing! Especially if he did the BM 'evil witch' vocals instead of the DM gutturals. Well, we can dream right?

nice T shirt,Mikael!
and then we start to play....
6:22 what song is that?
Emi the Gamer JR. By the Pain I see Othets
Lopez...🤘🤟
Wish they got more heavy
He's wearing a Katatonia shirt lol
Lopez was the best drummer Opeth had - I don't know many drummers who can match the rest of the band and feel much better than Martin
does anyone knows if the sabian ride martin lopez uses on deliverance is the aax 20 metal ride ?
I'm wondering the same thing myself. Love the sound of that ride. I'm fairly certain it is an AAX metal ride
Martin Axenrot or Martin Lopez: who do you think is the better drummer?
For the days of the past Opeth, Lopez... for the new Opeth "Axe". Both AWESOME drummer and with different style.
I prefer Axe. I mean songs like "The Lotus Eater" or "The Devil's Orchard" would've been a lot different without him. I think Axe is a better drummer. Everyone has a bad impression about Axe, but he has improved a lot since The Roundhouse Tapes.
Axe
Lopez no doubt

I love hearing I hate Hip Hop nice one🤘
This is the best album of opeth and pater and Marten should have stayed in the band
5:00 katatonia!
This band was made for Steves finesse
Mikael Smol Hands
Why the filter!?
Gotta love Martin Lopez!
I need a girl who loves the first 4 albums of opeth she will be my girlfriend.
My girlfriend loves Tool and Opeth. Am i lucky?

I hate hip-hop too..
Fredrik was a horrible replacement for Peter. His playing is so static & colourless compared to Peter's.
Still made some killer albums with him.
It's just my opinion. To me, Peter's playing seems a lot more genuine & has a lot more heart than Fredrik's. But, that could also have something to do with the fact that I don't really like anything after Peter left.
