There are so many beautiful segments on this song, and overtime I've come to embrace the overall imperfection of it because that's what makes this song (and the album) so memorable.

      xamenoskli the lyrics are about a man who loses his loved one his girlfriend or wife idk and how he becomes so desperate to see her again he goes to Satan to see her again and so he does Satan brings him to her but when she sees him she's sadden by what he has done and the means he went through to see her and she keeps her distance from him but she's still deep down happy to see him. The ending of the song is super creepy too as I think that last scream and riff is him realizing what he has done how he sold his soul to the devil and once he dies he'll never see his loved one again.

    No exaggeration here. This song has several truly beautiful parts and passages. In particular the one starting around 13:40 makes me FEEL like little else out there. I am ashamed to admit this as I am not some teenager. How is it possiible to have created it? Why does it invoke strong feelings? I've been listening to it for a long time, and though I'd like to grow out of it a bit, it's like a drug.

      For me the two bands that got me into "extreme metal" were Death and Opeth. That was about 3 years ago, and for the past year Ive been on an Opeth journey and have all their albums. They took me out of my heavy metal/thrash journey and into something more filling.

      Just isn't melodic death metal, though, nor did that genre ever have black metal influences.
      Opeth were a progressive death metal band, who had some black metal influences early on, but they certainly weren't melodeath.
      I have no idea why people are suddenly confusing genres now, as you're not the first person I've seen say this lately. Just because there is melody in a death metal-based band, that doesn't automatically mean they're melodeath.
      The melody in Opeth and the melody in the melodeath genre are 2 very different, very distinct things.
      Opeth's melody is largely around the acoustic arrangements, with their electric guitar work either being very abrasive, or proggy. Melodeath, on the other hand, has its melody firmly rooted in the electric guitar, almost universally to do with the riffs that they borrowed from NWOBHM, which they then sped up. Again, they're 2 very, _very_ different things.
      Listen to Heartwork-era and modern Carcass, At the Gates, and Dark Tranquillity, and then listen to Opeth, then you'll see the drastic differences between the 2. Opeth aren't even your typical progressive death metal band either, not really. They had their own distinct sound within the genre, but the genre itself was usually stuff like late 90's Death, mid 90's Cynic, Atheist etc.

      100% agreed. There are other sides of Metal, on its variations, to what meets the ear. It's not all about the "Screaming", rathar in what lies underneath it. As much as I love Marduk, for example, it is good to see more and more Metal Bands mixing Melodic Art in their songs. It allows diehard naysayers of Metal, to open up to the possibility that this kind of music has more than meets the ear. I' personally, am in love with this kind of music to the point where the mere sound of the growling gets me, no need for words. But people have prejudices of everything. Many of them hear it and immediately turn themselves off, not allowing themselves to fully understand the nature of Metal. It is just heart - breaking how much this kind of music is underrated, not to say "banned" and "forbbiden"
