Opeth is one heck of an experience for sure.
Thanks for starting on Opeth! couple of research threads: Steven Wilson's influence, a positive or negative? and growl versus clean vocals, which is best?
@@barkingmadman1169 - No best. The best songs are when both are present. So much more texture and uniqueness.
You want a true masterpiece from them? Blackwater Park from the Blackwater Park album.
Black water. Plss
Opeth is an acquired taste, but once you're in, you're in for life.
ive had this virus for years
@@kraftycarper Started with The twilight is my robe, but sick ever since.
So true, very infectious music
I feel like people who discovered progressive rock first have a higher chance of loving Opeth (and Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree)
Ever since 2003.
“Idk if this gonna be relaxing” you couldn’t have timed that statement any better 😂
*_Opeth - Blackwater Park_* and *_Opeth - Deliverance_* are two of their absolute masterpieces.
I'll sub for Opeth for sure :>
Yes!! And Harlequin Forest!
He's not ready for Blackwater Park or Demon of the Fall. Give him the time to aquire the taste.
@@longingbydesign Ghost Of perdition sums up what Opeth is about, the best . If he loves this one he'd like most of opeth. kinda wish he'd listen to some Bloodbath
How about we start off with some easier stuff. Don't scare him away by showing him some of the more extreme songs (there is time for that later).
Yes!! Drew do this!
You - "I feel like these guys have some masterpieces"
Every other opeth song - "Hold my beer"
Do Blackwater Park and Reverie/Harlequin Forest next!
Not sure if he is ready for Blackwater Park, who knows though.
Please please please do harlequin forest. Please!!!!!
Please no. Good songs but they've been done to death.
@@Celatra not by him. Those are opeth classics and harlequin forest is literally my favorite song if all time so I think it's reasonable
We need the Moor and Serenity Painted Death ! And Moonlapse Vertigo...damn...anything from Still Life !
So many masterpieces: Bleak, Burden, Dignity, Hex Omega, Deliverance (the outro itself is a masterpiece), Windowpane, Harvest, Blackwater Park, Lotus Eater, the list just goes on and on.
Bleak is Really not a good song
Harlequin Forest, Too bid you farewell too
Bleak and Burden are so fucking good
Jon C twat
When, Forest of October, Demon of the fall, Moonlapse vertigo, Face of melinda, serenity painted death,
The Drapery Falls!!!! If you liked the ambient and those melodic, and voice changes this song is the best Opeth song to do. Is my personal favorite, hope you like it
That was the first song that got me into Opeth - since then I have seen them 8 times live and they got me into learning bass, drums, guitar and recording plus making my band and so forth!
@@Defensive_Wounds Also been an *Opeth die-hard* for around a decade, Drapery Falls was where the atmosphere really started to 'click' in my head and then the floodgates opened haha
I love that song, it was the song that made me listen to opeth. And when I saw them performimg it live I was literally crying of joy
The Drapery Falls is my personal favorite by Opeth as well
Opeth - Herliquin forest
might as well do this album in order since he already started with the opening track lol
Reverie / Harlequin Forest is still my personal favorite.
Soooooo much to discover now. I think the suggestion to do this whole album is a good one but wow, you're gonna love this lot!
Yesssssssss
Fuck these stupid suggestions, go back....way back to the beginning.
'Harlequin Forest' would be the next logical one. Blackwater Park is a masterpiece, but it's one of the few songs w/out clean vocals. You need more time getting used to the growls.
Going straight from Ghost of Perdition to Blackwater Park would be like going from Burden to Demon of the Fall. XD
Blackwater Park is a must
That entire album is a must, along with My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life, Ghost Reveries...
@@toughy9450 and deliverance and morningrise
@@rmr5044 that reaction is what got me into opeth
Watershed, morningrise, orchid, black water park, ghost reveries... They are all so disgustingly good, it is impossible to pick one
Blackwater Park. That transition. You know the one I mean..... "Lepers coiled 'neath the treeeeeeees." utterly demonic, blood runs cold every time
opeth harlequin forest is also super sick and calming at some point
Heir Apparent. Don't see too many recommendations for this track but it turned out to be my favourite after years of listening
Kwisgaar its AMAZING🤘
The riffs on that one... And the solo!
@@Scherzo-mk4ih *Solos :)
One of my favorites and a great one indeed
Their songs can paint an atmosphere. It’s beautiful
Yay Opeth!!! Harlequin Forest and Blackwater Park for Classic Opeth, for the newest prog rock Opeth check out Dignity or Universal truth.
It is in fact one person who does both the growls and the clean vocals; Mikael Akerfeldt. He is also one of the two guitarists of the band. He is a musical genius.
I agree that Harlequin Forest would be a good second song.
Devin Townsend - DeadHead live at Albert hall. His vocals are unmacthed
for real
just don't cry pls hehe what a perfomance
No emotion compared to opeth or porcupine tree
by everything except the performance of deadhead in plodiv
The entire Albert Hall concert is mind blowing.
Opeth - The Grand Conjuration is another great song
Opeth - The drapery falls
An underrated song by them is "Serenity painted death"
My favourite opeth song ..fuckin epic
It's not an underrated song...
@@nikelodeon6852 seeing as only one person has mentioned it so far, i would agree that its underrated
@@grivlar look up the amount of reaction channels that have done this song. Now search for reactions to any song from the first 3 albums except forest of October, demon of the fall and to bid you farewell...then you'll know what underrated gems truly are lol.
@@smuggler25 Mine too!
Mastodon - The last Baron. It's Progressive paradise
Or Hearts Alive
Excellent choice, one of my favourite Mastodon tracks from an amazing album.
Omg such an amazing song!
Killer drums on this track!
If you like this one, "Bleak" is a must listen
Opeth - The baying of the hounds
can't upvote this comment enough
Had to scroll down waaay too far to see this.
Great shout !! 💯
Most underrated Opeth track. Do it!
I'll just keep waiting for the deliverance by them maybe next pls?!?!
i mean he kinda did ruin it already like he said xD
@@deminybs but not all
Same Deliverance is so fcking good.
One of my favorite bands so many great songs and that’s my boy Mikael Åkerfeldt does both growls and clean vocals, Harlequin Forest or Deliverance would be cool
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (live in Tilburg) PLEASE.
This is a band that is better live than in the studio 😂
7:21 "That's so hard. Give me it. Hit me in the face."
7:34 "That's too hard."
Noisy PinkBubble 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DrewFortune97 that shit cracked me up 😂
You were talking about Gojira being masters of guitar riffs... Opeth definitely deserve that title as well. And yes, it's one vocalist. And he plays guitar.
That’s all Mikael on the vocals, he is also the OG vocalist of Swedish Death Metal giants Bloodbath.
He actually only did the vocals for their second album i think
STAIND12300 Nope. Mikael is the vocalist of their first album Resurrection Through Carnage.
He is also the vocalist of their two EPs Breeding Death and Unblessing The Purity as well as their third album The Fathomless Mastery.
Their second album is Peter Tätgren on the vocals.
Drew, this is one of their masterpieces! Welcome aboard the Opeth train!
Ne obliviscaris 🤟🙏
Yes! Plague flowers the kaleidoscope
As Icicles Fall!!!
I’m definitely going to give another vote to this band
Of Petrichor weaves black noise
Finally someone
"I don't know if this going to be some kind of relaxing ..."
Mikael: "allow me to introduce myself: GHOST OF MOTHER"
Other than they are both Progressive.... Opeth and Tool very different as you likely are getting a hint at. Opeth has so many different styles. I describe listening to their songs as consuming a five course meal. People for some reason recommend Ghost of Perdition to people as their starting point. It isn't always a win for new listeners. Listen to more Opeth it will snag you at some point. It is the same singer, guitarist, composer Mikael Akerfeldt. Check out some live from Roundhouse Tapes, Live in Sydney (Moshcam), Royal Albert Hall, etc. Their last three albums (most recent) he no longer growls but honestly the best stuff is when he mixes clean and growl. So many textures. The new stuff is more prog rock and would be very comfortable if transported to the late 60s early 70s as part of the Prog Rock and Psychedelic movement. Most people, myself included, will recommend songs from before that change.
Yeah, Ghost of Perdition was one of the ones that had to grow on me and now it's one of my favorites. But with new Opeth listeners it can be too much to take in until they are familiar with their other works. Seems like he enjoyed it though so I have a feeling he is going to get sucked into this band.
Harlequin Forest imo is a great first song to recommend.
That mixture of styles is why I always recommend Hessian Peel.
@@Taunic he didn't eventually 🤣
@@geetbehera3593 Yup :( All the hardcore Opeth songs were recommended even though he said he wasn't a fan of growls and he was scared off.
Where owls know my name by Rivers of nihil next?
Yes yes yes yes. Definitely a prog band to keep an eye on, one of the best albums to come out in the past few years.
Honestly i like Monarchy more..
@@SlipknotMickk Well my favorite is actually Ancestral I, but the video in where owls know my name is so damn good!
yes pls
for sure!
A pretty fun thing with Opeth, IMO, is that they've gone from a heavier death metal sound to almost pure progressive rock now. Their latest album was released in two versions, one in English and one in Swedish (I prefer the latter but then I am Swedish myself), and it's a masterpiece of old school progressive rock. I have to say that Ghost Reveries is probably my favourite album of theirs, though, it's really smack dab in the middle of death metal and that good good mellotron-heavy prog rock. "Harlequin Forest" from Ghost Reveries would probably serve as a good counterpoint to the heaviness of "Ghost of Perdition", but "The Grand Conjuration" stands as my #1 track ever, regardless of band, when it comes to "metal-ness". It's just so fucking heavy and perfectly balanced with calmer parts.
Swede here too, yah ghost reveries is my favourite too, and yes the grand conjuration is one of their best. Very underrated!
Mikael Akerfeldt does both voices and plays the guitar as well! todays opeth is nothing glike the old, so i suggest checking out newer tracks like Sorceress or Heart in Hand. Since you are from Ireland, there are also plenty good metal bands from there... Primordial, Malthusian, Altar of Plagues, Mourning Beloveth, Gama Bomb, to name a few.
Also let's not forget Mael Mórdha.
And Mikael is flawless live
Mikael is an extreme talent!
Altar of Plagues are awesome yes. If you like them, I think you'd enjoy the two first albums by the french band Regarde les Hommes Tomber, espcially Exile (black/sludge to say something).
Primordial is great. There's a live version of "Coffin Ships" that gets me every time.
Tool, Gojira, Meshuggah now Opeth... You're just going over the list of my favourite bands! Mastodon is next on the list ;)
As for some sugestions for Opeth, Drapery falls is prob my favourite, but they have so much great stuff: Bleak, Harlequin Forest, Deliverence, Blackwater Park, Heart in Hand...
Soen?
@@rigobertosepulveda8924 Soen is on my list of bands to delve into.
@prolak excellent, also listen to Leprous or Tesseract
Feel like “Bleak” hasn’t been mentioned enough yet.
Bleak! YES!
Definitely in my top 3 of their songs!
First song i ever heard by them
_"That's disgusting"_ 🤣🤣 yeah man, just you wait! There is A LOT to Opeth, a lot of different styles weaved in and out. So much incredible music. And yea, that's Mikael singing both clean and death growls. His voice was the first death metal growl I fell in love with. It's buttery smooth and evil as fuuuuuuuck.
The album *Blackwater Park* is a top-to-bottom masterpiece. You would dig the title track (it's an Opeth classic) as well as *Dirge For November, The Drapery Falls,* and *The Funeral Portrait.* You would also really like the album *Still Life* and songs like *Benighted* or *The Moor.*
Holy shit dude, this another Tool-sized rabbit hole you could fall down. I'm excited for you. Judging by your other vids, yeah, you're gonna love Opeth!
my Opeth suggestion...The Drappery Falls, Dirge for November, or just the entire Blackwater Park album...it's a masterpiece!!
Took me a few listens, but after that i fell inlove with absolute every album of these guys, the atmosphere they create is most unique!
That whole album is a masterpiece. And it has a couple of mellow track that are absolutely beautiful. 🤘🏻
Isolation years, the grand conjuration, the baying of the hounds, Harlequin forest. God this album has so many amazing tracks. Then again I can say that about a lot of opeth albums
@@chaos5840 don't forget Hours of Wealth! The album is only 8 tracks, I think he should do the whole thing 💪🏻
Check out where owls know my name by Rivers of Nihil, like Opeth + psychedelic rock. Also saxophone.
ahhh yeah
Sooo excited for you to be finding out about those kind of bands. Your reaction to PT made me subscribe and now I'm watching on with excitement seeing someone feel the music I love. Awesome stuff!
Opeth - Herliquin forest is a must and Leper Affinity also by them!
Lol, how noone is able to name the song correctly
@@longingbydesign no one can spell no one correctly, either
Recently, Opeth and Gojira
2 of my favorite bands AND revelations of the past 3 years. I just love em, and you should try "Blackwater Park" for Opeth, and "Tocix Garbage Island" for the technicity of the drums for Gojira :D
This composition, performances, mix & production of this whole album are absolutely stellar. You can hear every instrument in the mix, and with each listen I constantly feel like I'm catching bits I didn't notice before.
I'll continue my shouting out for you to check out Mastadon, Halloween, Jaguar God or The Last Baron for starters.
Oh man, you like guitar riffs and groove, Mastadon have them both in loads :)
Harlequin forest for beautiful clean sections and some brutal growls
Opeth - Harlequin Forest would definitely be an awesome reaction
I'm so envious! I remember the first time I heard this track and it was my introduction to these legends. Every time I hear this I'm taken back to the first time I heard it and it's AMAZING! Have been my favourite band since that day. You need to listen to everything From their first track right through to the new stuff. Every track is a journey
I literally commented on your video yesterday about Opeth and you deliver! Awesome little gift :D
Do Opeth - Blackwater Park
This. Blackwater Park is the best song to start getting into Opeth
@@peyman4357 Wouldn't say 'Blackwater Park' is best for first getting into Opeth, it's their heaviest song. I'd say songs like 'Burden' and songs off of 'Damnation' is good for first timers.
@Fangalatic Throughout their discography, it's their heaviest imo.
Yes Opeth! The Drapery Falls, Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Master's Apprentices.
'Master's Apprentices' is my fave off of 'Deliverance', such a good intro riff and middle acoustic part.
Looks like I got a new series of videos to look forward to! Glad you got around to them; you're in for a treat. These guys have been a huge influence to a lot of artists, Jinjer included. They formed in 1990 (same year as Tool) and have evolved a lot over the years. A different rabbit-hole, but just as complex and interesting.
Subbed. Like your nature and just fun reactions. Opeth is my favorite band and looking forward to more Opeth and excited for other stuff too!
you're inspiring me to add these bands to my playlist, classics like gojira and opeth always wondering what to listen to
THIS is a masterpiece :)
Yessss!!!!!!!!! I adore Opeth!!!! They have an amazing catalog, can’t wait to watch your journey
Soooo good to finally get some Opeth! Knew you'd appreciate them! Looking forward to more!
Opeth is such a tressurechest! Wouldn’t mind seeing your reaction on Heir Apparent🤘
hell yeah \m/
So I just randomly stumbled upon this, your, video (probably due to tag “Opeth”) and I’m staying (and subscribing) just for the pure reaction you had - that song always gives me chills and just takes me to a different place.. It’s amazing, I really hope you have experienced them more after this video 🤘🏻🙏🏻🖤
Yes I love the evolution on this channel, it's so awesome!
Opeth - Harlequin Forest- live at Royal Albert Hall!!! Please...
It's a very intense experience
perfect pick
Opeth - The Drapery Falls
That is one of the rainy day songs of my playlist… Opeth is masterpiece creator band , in every album you can feel it...
Opeth has been my favorite band for soon to be a decade! I would be happy to watch whatever song you pick! I'm excited! I am happy to watch you go through this journey with this band! OPETH!
Yes check out Deliverance, also by Opeth, the ending is crazy!
Yesterday while i was checking your channel for the first time, I thought: "How is it that this guy hasn't still reacted to Opeth?" lol
hahah same situation
Love your reaction stuff!
Oh maaaan. It's so good! It feels like listening to it for the first time again! I'm envious of myself!
Opeth - Reverie/Harlequin Forest or The Drappery Falls are totally mindblowing
The. Two. Most. Brilliant. Masterpieces.
If you like Opeth, the entirey of the album Blackwater Park is considered one of the greatest progressive albums of all time.
@Fangalatic It's okay to be wrong.
@Fangalatic lol considered their weakest by who?
so what would you say is their best album?
@@capoditutticapos19 I mean taste is subjective, and I like different albums of theirs for different reasons, but my favorite is still Blackwater Park. I absolutely love the new album though, so who knows, maybe in time that will take the top spot.
You've started your Opeth journey with the same song that I did and you are in for a treat, man. I'd say that not only songs, but whole albums are masterpieces in their discography. My holy trinity of choice would be Blackwater Park, Deliverance and Damnation.
just subscribed to your channel mate love your reactions and taste in good music, keep it up. 💪🏻🙏🏻
Some less requested songs you could react to are: Hessian peel, The lotus eater, Harlequin forest and Heir apparent.
Opeth- blackwater park or deliverance, another "jaw dropping" outro ;)
Its so great to see a person discover Opeth, and taken his time to really listen. And yes, it’s one person who does the singing, and it is seriously impressive live! The whole band actually is seriously impressive live!
YES!!!! My favorite band for almost 20 years now. Definitely keep doing more. They have such a huge variety of styles and influences. For a good, shorter banger, do Demon of the Fall. For another long epic with a good mix and some seriously awesome heavy riffs, do Serenity Painted Death. For something on the mellow side, do Windowpane. And yes, it's all one singer, Mikael Akerfeldt. He's also one of the guitarists and the main songwriter.
Oh and Mikael writes all the music,sings and plays guitar.
I think it is time for you to stumble across some Porcupine Tree.
I mentioned PT on a different video. I whole heartedly second this comment.
Absolutely 100% yes!
one of us...one of us....one of us...
Anesthetize!
Probably one of the best songs ever written
Been waiting for you to find this band - Welcome.
First Opeth experience 'Ghost of Perdition'? Nice.
Dude loves it? Noice!
Think's he's going to like more of them and can't wait to listen to more??? SUBSCRIBED!
Mikael Åkerfeld ladies and gentlemen.
Dude's impressive.
Opeth -The Baying of the Hounds
Hell yeah!! Please do more Opeth! I can promise you'll like all of it haha
I have commented Opeth a few times. I am glad to see you started this journey. Blackwater Park next? I would also recommend Symphony X.
The Baying Of The Hounds
Reverie/Harlequin forest
-Opeth
Opeth - The Leper Affinity
Instant like for first Opeth reaction. Do more!
So glad you liked opeth, definitely gotta do more because their discography is filled with masterpieces. I would suggest doing “blackwater park” next, probably the song/album that put them on the map. No doubt in part due to their collaboration with Steven Wilson (speaking of this is a great opportunity to start reacting to Steven Wilson/porcupine tree)
If you want masterpieces... I'll just leave this here:
Opeth: Harlequin Forest
Ne Obliviscaris: Devour Me, Colossus Part I
Wilderun: The Tyranny of Imagination
Xanthochroid: To Higher Climes Where Few Might Stand
Khonsu: Toward the Devouring Light
Slice the Cake: Stone and Silver I: The Mountains of Man
Rivers of Nihil: Subtle Change
An Abstract Illusion: Skeletons of Light
Mechina: To Coexist is to Surrender
Shade Empire: Anti-Life Saviour
Winterhorde: The Heart of Coryphee
A lot to digest, but after 20+ years of my musical journey into metal those are what I consider songs that would be an absolute disservice, to any metal fan living in this era, to never experience. Make yourself a note and check these out, maybe do a video on at least one of your choosing.
You missed Be'lakor The smoke of many fires
master's apprentices-opeth \m/
I've been waiting so long for this!
This song is so brilliant...subtle details like the vocals lowering in octave by stanza, combined odd time signatures, phenomenal guitar riffs, welcome to Opeth!
since you started experiencing opeth I recommend that you checkout "
burden"
The ocean of sorrow is you always makes me wet
Dude is diving into prog metal... next band should be mastodon
I haven't seen any comment or vote for Black Rose Immortal, and that's the masterpiece 🤘🏼
I’m too pumped you’re onto Opeth now!!!!!! Deliverance is insane
