I remember when I first listened to Opeth, I wondered ''who's the guy doing the soft vocals?'' and wondered who the band's other vocalist was. One of the best parts of Opeth songs is Akerfeldt's ability to rapidly shift between sounding like a demon to having a soothing and calming voice.
the shift itself is very easy if you have good technique but a lot of metal vocalists can't do cleans so being able to do both at such a good level is amazing

I am so addicted to this band. I put all their studio albums into a playlist and have been listening to all 12h 57m of it as a single piece of music. Incredible journey to take
I know what you mean! I actually have to listen to Opeth every day! No lie! Their f**king AMAZING!! I Love their old stuff and new stuff! It's like they became my Favorite band overnight!! And I couldn't be more happier!!🎶🔥🎶
That break at 8:35 into the jazzy segment. I don't know how to describe the feeling, I don't get just goosebumps, my eyes get teary due to how beautiful it is.
@@gondrom lucky you 🙂. I’m going to see them next February. Honestly, they can play what they like but sure, it would be awesome if they play deliverance!
Started listening to Opeth way back in high school, around 2011~2012, for literally a decade. I started with their 'metal' era with, beginning with "Ghost Reveries", which made me go down a rabbit hole and listen to everything they'd released. In this decade of constantly following up with their sound, they were there during my ups and downs, helping in so many aspects of my life, metal-wise. I had to deal with personal issues, I felt lonely a bunch of times in those years, and even struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. Opeth's music to me was an escape from reality, I could always go back and find comfort, I felt connected with so many of Mikael's lyrics, it made me rethink my life decisions and start to improve. Thankfully I've found a way to deal with my inner problems and traced a well tough path for my life. I managed to overcome my depression, which I never felt ever again so far, managed to get my bachelor's degree, and started to take care of my body by eating healthy, exercise and and stopping using drugs. And all and all never abandoned listening to their music. It helped me a lot. I mean it. Got me an Opeth tattoo on my arm, I dunno, I am grateful for knowing this band, thankful for all the good times I had with them, and plus, ITS FUCKING AWESOME In ten years, I have not been able to attend an Opeth concert, because they rarely played in my hometown, Sao Paulo, Brazil. And this was on my bucket list, for years I've been wanting to see them live for the first time. But the universe granted me my wish, next year, on February 8th, 2023, Opeth will play a gig in Sao Paulo and guess what, I got the tickets!!!! I am so happy that I will watch my favorite band for the very first time!!!! I feel so good Thank you, Opeth
so happy for u man!!! hope to see opeth at somepoint too, either with my dad (he introduced me to them) or by myself when im older. prolly w my dad tho
100% agree. It also proves that down tuning does not equal heavy. I play metal in E standard. Fuck 8 string bitches (most of my friends, lol). Use writing to make it heavy
@@steverobertson3980 imo depends, percussive riffs sounds better in lower tunings for me, but fast riffs like this work better in a higher tuning, one example is the doom ost, the songs don't sound half as good an octave higher, and the other thing is idk, domination by pantera, it sounds just bad in lower tunings I'm saying this as a thrash metal fan so 99% of the things that I hear are in E standard, i can be totally wrong
@Lopyt *Sir_Guy* Music Disagree. Opeth has atmospherics and structure, which alludes to different emotions. Gutted Face is grindcore noise and nothing more. Its heavy, but doesnt register as much artistic merit in my opinion and that alone can be definitive of how heavy a song is. I will give you Pantera though. Always.
This song feels like a long lost winter smell coming back and delivering a forgotten box filled with dolls, clothes and slumber of someone who can never be forgotten. This delivers.
My brother’s bday, the sixth of September. We saw Opeth together a week before he passed. I have to go through their music every time I think of him. This is musical perfection.
The syncopation in this song is out of control. Luckily Akerfeldt wasn't afraid to make that brilliant outro riff go on forever; extended head banging commence. Gets better with each listen.
Opeth is the kind of metal where you have to digest the epic riffs and headbanging moments piece by piece just to follow the complex syncopation of the riffs and drums. It's as if these guys toke some notes and lessons on classical music. What a genius band.
@@evanurena8868 Yeah they definitely took some tokes. Especially on Orchid. That's one of the most tokest albums ever, incredible levels of stoned going on there
I find that to be the case with most of their songs, they are like radiohead in that sense just the progressive death metal version, but even that's inaccurate, they have their own genre, their songs are different but there's an opeth element, a signature, in them. Sort of like tool, they are their own genre.
@@soakedbearrd Yea, I actually get the Radiohead comparison quite a bit. They both use a lot unorthodox chord progressions which make the songs all the more awesome and mysterious-sounding I guess
@@tromboneman4517 lol I wouldnt say that. Pushit Salival and Third Eye Salival/You Lied are better than this. This song is amazing, one of the best ive ever heard but the growling takes a lot to get used too. Tool still surpasses this.
I could listen to this song a million times and never get tired of it. These guys are insanely talented and the outro to this song always leaves me wishing it would just go on for infinity. A true masterpiece!
Ranking the sections of this song (cuz why not): 1. Outro 2. Intro 3. Both Acoustic parts 4. Second solo 5. First solo 6. Heavy riff with chromatic vocal line at 7:38 7. Chorus (alternating between clean and growl)
It's like a whole album in a single song and I mean that in a good way. So much going on but it all works. I love how the guitar solos come unexpectedly. There isn't a typical build up to them or a segment where traditional metal bands might go verse chorus verse chorus solo bridge or verse chorus verse chorus Bridge solo. It's like if they dropped one anywhere into the song it'd still feel right. I'm not familiar with their stuff. I've only started listening to them more seriously in recent times.
This is why I love progressive rock and metal. There are some bands who make long songs just for the sake of it, but Opeth takes you on a whole journey with each song.
I don't think I've heard Mikael ever say that he thinks that it is their worst album, just that recording it was the darkest period by far in the band. He said on a podcast on spotify recently that it actually turned out pretty good. I think if he had to pick a worst album he'd pick Morningrise. He says parts of that album are unlistenable to him now
God damn. Been listening to Opeth for almost 20 years now. Every now and then I come back to their music and it takes me right back. Some of the best mos t atmopsheric metal ever
It’s the hook... then he changes the feel on the China when he rides in (not sure in this) but it almost sounds like a dotted eighth on quarter pulse... then back again to 8ths next time around... fucking brilliant... best outro ever written... 4/4? Who care fucking brilliant
To me the Blackwater Park album is the best metal I've ever heard. But they've never let me down. So much beauty in this prog metal - epic and timeless too. Perfect execution from all members. Even the droning iterations for psyche effects are not too much - because it's so beautiful. Berlin nxt time - if no Corona lock downs 2021. Live performance seems to be out of this world too.
Holy shit remembering this song live, the outro seriously puts you in a trance in what seems like forever! Just keeps going and going and going!!! Feeling the drums destroying your chest, Absolutely incredible!
I first heard this on Sirius radio and I went to look for more Opeth songs like Delivernace but really could not find anything. Pretty sad cuz this song is amazing.
Holy sht 8:30-8:45 Only a genius could come up with this transition. I am in disbelief everytime I listen to it, no matter how many times I've heard it.
D C well you said rip old opeth so he must have assumed you included johan as part of that statement.. I mean the dude was litterally outclassing everybody on the orchid and morningrise and got fired more or less because of that
I think it's Loudwire who made a compilation of vocalists who can both sing you to sleep, and scare you to death (I'm paraphrasing). Needless to say, Mikael is on the list
4:40 nobody has tabbed those 2 transition chords correctly from what I can find. I'm having a hard time figuring it out myself. What's mind blowing about it is Mikael doesn't even understand music theory, this ridiculously complex modulation just came out of his soul.
Floating on mist Crept up the caverns of my brain Received no warning From nothing to a life code Walk with me, you'll never leave Wait to see your spirit free Tell me how your heart's in need As I drown you in the sea Unwinding snares of distrust Your wrist in my fast grip Look me in the eye, I'm clear This is your time Face down beneath the waterline Gazing into the deep From love to death In a time span of seconds Oblivious to regret Pushed into belief In liquid cellophane Gasping for air Mercy in my eyes Is the shade of the night The piercing sounds you make Soaring higher, higher now And once left in my wake Your memory's nothing but the scars on me All over now Forgotten why I needed this Standing down Disappear into the obscure Resting days Waiting for new disease Biding time Locked inside insanity It always burns within The downward spiral never ends When driven into sin Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed All over now Forgotten why I needed this Standing down Disappear into the obscure Resting days Waiting for new disease Biding time Locked inside insanity The devil guides the way Tells me what to say Pours himself inside And snuffs the final light Deliverance Thrown back at me Deliverance Laughing at me Deliverance Thrown back at me Deliverance Laughing at me

It's all great. Everything about this song is great. It's a musical masterpiece.
Agreed, keep telling my friends who are not into Opeth or Meshuggah this, immense talent!
I only like growling and screaming when done tastefully, this song defines beauty to me.
@@wobbled9819 I think exactly the same
The growling songs are the only opeth songs worth listening to in my opinion. Not that the rest aren’t good they just aren’t as heavy as this.

Lol me too. My very first eargasm.
I first heard this on Sirius radio and I went to look for more Opeth songs like Delivernace but really could not find anything. Pretty sad cuz this song is amazing.
8:50 I love how the guitar says "deliverance" ahead of Mikael.
Such an epic outro! These guys know their stuff and for sure know how to end a song!!!
Holy sht 8:30-8:45
Only a genius could come up with this transition. I am in disbelief everytime I listen to it, no matter how many times I've heard it.
Classic Opeth. Long live Peter and Lopez. RIP old Opeth
I wonder what Peter is up to these days
you forgot about johan defarfalla!
Tim Walker Johan didn’t play on this. How could I forget someone that was already gone and not a part of the band at this point in time
D C well you said rip old opeth so he must have assumed you included johan as part of that statement.. I mean the dude was litterally outclassing everybody on the orchid and morningrise and got fired more or less because of that
Oh man the best! Miss this years
20 years after I first heard this song, at 10:58 the addition of those china hits on the off beat is still one of my favorite ever drum things.
Thinking of a song with an intro like blackwater park, middle part with Ghost of perdition, and the outro of Deliverance..
it would have been the perfect song ever created
may be one of the most under rated masterpiece in the history of music thnx for making my day 1000 time better
I love blasting this in my car. epic
4:43 is the best. It's got heavier van halen-ish vibes
8:39 puts a smile on my face
El cambio de ritmo en el minuto 7:38 es increíble. Opeth es una de las mejores bandas de Metal de las últimas dos décadas...virtuosos al máximo!!!
3:21 i love that sound !!!
Voice like an angel and a devil in the same song👌
Great description actually
classic opeth song
He is a sexy beast.
I think it's Loudwire who made a compilation of vocalists who can both sing you to sleep, and scare you to death (I'm paraphrasing). Needless to say, Mikael is on the list
laying it on a bit thick
My absolute favourite song by Opeth. Master's apprentices got me interested, this got me hooked.
Did you listen to when live?
@@thinkwhileeatingpasta5217 No I was late to the party unfortunately.
@@basil9877 For me Bleak is their best song and deliverance 2nd
1:17 gives me flashbacks of that berserk song "behelit"... i wonder if there was any influence there =]
The music speaks to my soul
Not many people know it but Steven co-composed deliverance. In fact the whole damnation album
The ending of this song gives me joy.
It scratches such an itch
Saw them live during their India 2019 tour and they played this. Best night ever !
annfender I moved to Boston from India and they cancelled their 2020 concert here! Lucky you!
Damn you're lucky. I missed that.
4:40 nobody has tabbed those 2 transition chords correctly from what I can find. I'm having a hard time figuring it out myself. What's mind blowing about it is Mikael doesn't even understand music theory, this ridiculously complex modulation just came out of his soul.
Floating on mist
Crept up the caverns of my brain
Received no warning
From nothing to a life code
Walk with me, you'll never leave
Wait to see your spirit free
Tell me how your heart's in need
As I drown you in the sea
Unwinding snares of distrust
Your wrist in my fast grip
Look me in the eye, I'm clear
This is your time
Face down beneath the waterline
Gazing into the deep
From love to death
In a time span of seconds
Oblivious to regret
Pushed into belief
In liquid cellophane
Gasping for air
Mercy in my eyes
Is the shade of the night
The piercing sounds you make
Soaring higher, higher now
And once left in my wake
Your memory's nothing but the scars on me
All over now
Forgotten why I needed this
Standing down
Disappear into the obscure
Resting days
Waiting for new disease
Biding time
Locked inside insanity
It always burns within
The downward spiral never ends
When driven into sin
Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed
All over now
Forgotten why I needed this
Standing down
Disappear into the obscure
Resting days
Waiting for new disease
Biding time
Locked inside insanity
The devil guides the way
Tells me what to say
Pours himself inside
And snuffs the final light
Deliverance
Thrown back at me
Deliverance
Laughing at me
Deliverance
Thrown back at me
Deliverance
Laughing at me
Yes

The heavy bass and grove keeps the track going and listener glued to the whole 13+ min's of it.... Quiet an experience...!!!
My favorite breakdown of Opeth's.
7:38 is catchy af 🤘
[KJV] Matthew 6:13
“And lead us not into temptation, but /deliver/ us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”
Hail Satan!
@@cobraimploder I pity those whom have not been touched by The Spirit. Would you like to repent, brother? JESUS is LORD!

@@j.y.ly3696 Jesus is Lord? I hadn't the faintest of ideas! Well, then I trust you will kindly forgive my misgivings about Jesus, and not mind my saying:
*GLORY TO THE DARK LORD, LUCIFER. MAY HE REIGN SUPREME!!!*
I bid you a beautiful and pleasant day, sir/madam!!
@@cobraimploder Respect but do not give in to the enemy. Otherwise you will be defeated instead of being the victor. And in that, there is no glory whatsoever.
@@j.y.ly3696 But what if I think Jesus and Yahweh are the enemy? What if I think they are morally bankrupt thugs? What if I think Satan is at least a 100 times more moral than Yahweh?
Amazing drummer heard this for the first time ever today now I am a fan
check out the band 'Soen'. He drums for them nowadays
Wait til you discover periods!
This is the first song I heard from Opeth and I was converted. Cheers
Got your salvation through Opeth. Awesome that you got delivered and now converted to the church of Opeth. Hahahahaha
Sameeeee
Fuck, that growl is amazing.
Binging their discography back to back right now. I might like this album even more than Still Life and Blackwater Park.
We need Opeth concert one more last time I would go anywhere on the earth to watch them live
Best metal song ever.
This was the first song I heard from them. Man, I loved that guitar solo in 7/8 - gave me goosebumps
Truly a masterpiece. 💗
I agree with you Jessica Rabbit!!!!!1
The outro combined with their galactic serenity theme stage film made me think they were attempting to stimulate what doing DMT is musically. That was my thought tonight as the show came to an end in KCMO. It was perfection!
As a former psychonaught I feel opeth definitely embodies many of the lsd trips I’ve had and does have some qualities of dmt
This must be the Joe Rogan take on Opeth
The lyrics are about an acid trip
I'm totally glad I heard this song in live, it was so damn crazy.
I'll be there the next time they come to Argentina 🤭🤘❤
I have this song as my alarm.
Noo man, you are going to hate it, trust me, i've been there. Never use a song you like as a alarm lol.
@@HeavyRaiden Use them as a ringtone instead
You must be late for work everyday.
Nicest clean drumming I’ve ever heard. Those ride accents, ghost notes and fills are unreal
The devil and the Angel = a fucking Masterpiece
Always end up here one way or another. Authentic quintessential.
I love the old Opeth
