@An Orthodox Philosophy Ok, understood. But personally, I don't the see the quoted line as a nihilist thing. It just seems that it is trying to tell people that action is required in order to live better. I think time can heal wounds, it certainly did for me, but for that it is required some will and responsibility by our side. If one keeps on blaming life for their suffering and does nothing about their misery they will keep themselves miserable. If they rely solely on time to figure out their problems, they will most likely continue to suffer until the end.
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 and mental 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 to hear that, Johny! Congrats on overcoming your troubles, I'm going for therapy to get over my depression as well. Opeth has gotten me through a lot of my sad times as well, hope I get to see them live sometime. Take care!

It was a medium size venue, so I tried to arrive early to be at the front. So I did it. I got at the front row, could almost reach Akerfeld's shoe hahahah.

This video and music hits me hard. My ex fiance left me about 7 years ago without an explanation (even to this day) and I suffered deeply for almost a year questioning what I had done wrong. The melancholy and agony and also loss of control over my relationship and life drove me nuts for a long time. It took a truly wonderful person to bring me out of that darkness.
People to stop bitching about the Steven Wilson influence . They are best Friends os of course they influence each other. Steven is influenced by Opeth as well . After they became friends Porcupine Tree started adding heavy riffs to their music clearly a influence of Mikael .
I hear the same Beatles and king crimson influences I've heard since the beginning. When you're familiar with all of mike's stuff you hear the same stuff. The only real difference is he isn't growling bit looking back most of the songs were growled in bits and the rest was him singing and playing clever music. Opeth is opeth, strength to strength
For anyone making Steven Wilson comments: The first Owl House Studios videos commissioned by Steven was Drag Ropes by Storm Corrosion, which they collaborated on. This medium is as much relevant to Opeth as it is to SW's solo work.
now opeth suck cucumber and old penguins:( Dont get me wrong,, It is probably the best shit out there in this genre.. But i like the old opeth better... And if this is the kind of music they want to create then should not listen to wienerdogs like me:)

Steven Wilson's music surely did help the story telling, it worked so well.. Thank you as well for returning for this feedback, it may seem a small thing but it's not, it helps me and I appreciate it very much!
Opeth is the only other band on earth that shares a place with Black Sabbath when it comes to my emotional connection to the music. It's so good I just literally don't have words to describe it in any kind of tangible way.
@@Shaktiman-dz4vq I am assuming you haven't listened enough. If you like Opeth, try Sabbath's more progressive songs like Megalomania, Spiral Architect, Thrill of it All, A National Acrobat, Wheels of Confusion.
First time hearing Opeth. Don't know if its the best song to start with but I hear some Pink Floyd and definitely some Rush Fairwell to Kings in there and I like it. Time to start my Opeth journey. Wish me luck.
Opeth really has 3 sides: prog death metal (1995-2008), prog rock (2011-today) and ballads (spread everywhere and 2003). Each album and phase is nice and has a different touch. Blackwater park is prog death metal perfection, morningrise sounds like black metal, heritage is perfect to listen to if a storm is coming up in the distance, ... Their setlist for the fall 2019 Euro tour is basically perfect to get into the 2000 onward stuff. although I'd change allting tar slut with minnets yta from the new record.
Mikael shows his Steven Wilson influence profoudly on this album, even having the same guy that made a few of Steven's videos do this video. I think the times they worked together really impacted Mikael, to the point that the more recent albums have been more emotional (ethereal) musically. The melodies and textures are next-level compared to older Opeth albums. Still heavy but in an emotional way (instead of a sonic way). In Cauda Venenum is about as perfect of an album as you can ask for.
As the hell, it's possible that such songs don't get any more attention. Opeth create one masterpiece after another. But the world is full of people without musical knowledge. Opeth, pain of salvation, katatonia, Soen, leprous.... All these bands deserve the highest recognition... To name just a few
This may be the most depressing music video I've ever seen. ....I still love it, I've never heard any Opeth I didn't like, growling metal or prog, I love everything Opeth does!!! After hearing Opeth, most other metal has become insignificant to me. Nobody comes close to the greatness of Opeth!!!
I can't even fathom how I possibly missed finding this band for all these years!! I feel like I've missed out on something incredibly special that would have been my very best friend throughout my life! But at least now I know that I have found a diamond. Maybe they were meant to find me at this very moment. And now I have a giant arsenal of perfection to dive into every single day. Obsessed with this band! Any real rock lover in the world needs to know all Opeth before they leave this Earth!!
Hahaha. depends on which type of music you'd like. Stylistically they're everywhere. Up until Watershed they were fairly heavy decreasing in heaviness until that point. Then they made Heritage.. been soft ever since.
@@ArchieXIV Yes, so true! Some of my friends would 'completely' reject what I call cookie monster vocals! They'd be like 😄 you crazy? But their music is Always amazing!!!!! 😊
@@ArchieXIV OMG! Me too! Could NOT have have said that better myself! His voice, tone and style is as perfect to me as his music! I said 🍪 MONSTER vocals! Lol. (the growl 🤘) His voice is the furthest thing from cookie cutter!
@Craig Adams There's some truth to it, though. The new singer is anecdotal compared to Layne. And though the music is still solid, the band hasn't progressed much sonically since the 3rd album.
Quick Fact: Opeth have had 2 bass players named "Martin", and 2 drummers named "Martin". I guess the only drink Mikael ever orders at a bar is a (insert drumroll here) "Martini"...
I never quite get why people compare Opeth to Steven Wilson’s work, besides the obvious *cough *cough blackwaterpark *cough *cough damnation. To me their work only sounds vaguely similar at best. I think they’re just like-minded musicians.
The new album is great, and i definitely understand what Mikael meant by heaviness doesnt have to neccesarily mean growls, but fuck do i miss them it gave so many layers and made the songs so unique.
First collab was actually on Blackwater Park (2001). Wilson produced it and does part of the vocals on the chorus of Bleak, for example. He has other guest spots, as well. But yeah, I can definitely hear some Deadwing influence, and some stuff from In Absentia as well, but I think I hear more of his (Wilson's) solo work here, especially Raven
I've never listened to Opeth, assuming they would sound like all these current metal band with 1,000 mile an hour tempos, guitarists with supernatural human dexterity, and vocalists (if they even have one), that sounds like Godzilla pukin' up the Cookie monster!?! Opeth actually threw me a curve ball. Cool songs, killer ability, and a fantastic lead singer!! Wow, I shuda' tried that! What a great concept!!! Sean Black
My thought exactly! The best Opeth's clean vocal album this is! The problem with the previous albums is there are always tracks that sounds like just a filler, even in Pale Communion (my previous best clean vocal album) but all tracks in In Cauda Venenum are stands out! A magical piece of music journey from start to finish! Ah, did you listen to the Sweddish version? Imo the whole vibe is much much better than the English one.
I loved this album immediately, Sorceress is the one that took time for me but now I think it rules as well! Heritage is the album I listen to the least, I love all other Opeth albums.
I was listening to this song and King Diamond Sleepless Nights vibes were tapping my shoulder. But overall totally different songs just some vibes from the past.
Opeth saved my life in 2003. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon them. Blackwater...Deliverance..mind blown to this day. This song was depressing, but truth. Hardships of relationships. Nothing is forever. Ever-changing. Horns up!!
This video was released at the beginning of the end of what had previously been a happy relationship with a beautiful young woman. I'm not sad the relationship is gone, it had run its course but, this song sounds like the death rattle of it and it makes me feel like a moping broken hearted teenager.
Well aint that cheerfull, almost forgot about my should I drink a coffe or kill myself depression this morning haha. Great video, great song. Would be nice to see something in this manner for Lovelorn Crime!
A new fan. This song is like the story book to my past life. The music just gives off those vibes and brings a smile to my face every time I hear this track.
The video has that lugubrious and empty air that I love ... Opeth does not disappoint, its sound has changed but it is still interesting and very creative... Long live Opeth
Chris Cornell song You Know My have same parts with this song. Listen You Know My Name bridge to last chorus and compare with this song part from 1:05 to 1:20
Glad I'm not the only one that went um hold on... th-cam.com/video/ypdlAMXIvCM/w-d-xo.html - Universal Truth th-cam.com/video/YnzgdBAKyJo/w-d-xo.html - You know my name Nobody tell Vicki, she'll sue them!
Somehow this song feels more 'Steven Wilson' than Steven's recent solo work. Opeth (and Mikael) is evolving to a new sound and I am absolutely loving it!
I really feel like I have to go to the Silver Spring show,I owe it to myself to experience this amazing band while I can,and I might not get the chance again,and if I don't I would really feel like I missed a golden opportunity and I would be kicking myself in the ass for eternity,they will definitely go down as one of the best metal bands ever🤟
I think people just don't realize how great this song is. The story behind the lyrics, the lyrics itself, the connection between how the song develops musically and the feelings and expressions of the man and the woman in pain. It's absolutely masterpiece.
I like the way you play with the words. Every song that you made gives a message that could be understood by analyzing these poetical words. An awesome work again, keep doing it!
The video reminds me of that old, really eerie and disturbing game called "The Cat Lady". I love the style, I just wonder if the artist that made this video was at all inspired by that video game.
The style of the video reminds me of Steven Wilson's solo piece called Drive Home. This is a beautiful song from Opeth and a great video to go along with it.

Sweat on the brow runs over faces made of snow
There comes a time in life when death may come too slow
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
You have waited far too long but Spring is set in bloom
You have conquered love inside yet sorrow is your doom
The debts are long since paid, inheritance is set
Still agitation reels inside, lest you forget
Lest you forget
At sunrise Friday morning a haven for your sins
The written dedication etched into your skin
Time soon heal the wounds you bare
Between old pride and desperate prayers
Time won't heal any wounds you bare
A set few years of your life are stolen
Light cast on the obvious
Behold the white when it's faded golden
A stranger's truth holds no water here
But soon we may have learned
Dead sympathy, a aversion proceeds
A voice lives in your chest that comforts wary thoughts
Yet the brook is still too wide to bridge the gap you've sought
Honesty in the necrology
The offspring smear your name in print
You trade your vices every day religiously
A pack of vultures wait for everyone to see
You gave away too much, a harness on your kin
For any transgressions never mirrored mortal sin
Mortal sin
You're still alone
The day in zenith now, you made it through the night
Voice of perdition came and went far out of sight
Well, I'll be damned. Clever use of _necrology._ It works far better than obituary.

Deadwing, song or Album, for sure. Mikeal plays on it, an where I think they collaborated for the first time.
First collab was actually on Blackwater Park (2001). Wilson produced it and does part of the vocals on the chorus of Bleak, for example. He has other guest spots, as well.
But yeah, I can definitely hear some Deadwing influence, and some stuff from In Absentia as well, but I think I hear more of his (Wilson's) solo work here, especially Raven
@@christianayalacruz1095 bleak is a great track
How much “The-Raven-That-Refused-To-Sing.ish” is this?
I think the same... 🤔👀😒🙄
Same artist as Drive Home, Raven and Drag Ropes!
Yes.
I guess you mean the video clip.... because in terms of music their similarities are not many.
@@blekmetal8140 yep, video
Absolutely phenomenal
This cinematic idea is just amazing. I really appreciate the story. It settles.
opeth before: repeats riffs and lines over 100 times
opeth now: "let's make a good melody but never repeat again"
That's the ultimate prog move
I just keep repeating 5:13 to 5:30. Those strings thooooo.
Their riffs and lines used to be brilliant and worth repeating...
trev1978 they still are
Repeated riffs and lines over 100 times before? Are you high man?
1:05 - 1:20 Chris Cornell - You know my name
The video depicts the songs brilliantly. Very deep and beautiful and true. Just like the song. Indeed a Universal Truth!
I respect Axe for not taking the scamdemic shot.
Re-living your memories in your own version, vicariously through other people in the media, as an attempted coping mechanism toward pain.
Was lucky to catch them live at Bangalore, India in 2012. Missed them this time at Pune, India last weekend. 😭
They are the best. Hands down ❤️
I was at the pune concert. It was amazeballs
This couldn’t be more perfect. Opeth. ❤️
Thanks Andi for loving and supporting us this far; Hope we all get to hit on the stage soon!!! Lots of love from Opeth 🖤
Best band in the world. Fucking awesome video though!
Lol theres no groove anymore very clinical. Better than tool but porcupine tree is the best.
Those two sentences are completely disconnected...

@@austin5732 that’s because the groove left with Martin Lopez. His band, Soen, is pretty badass and has tons of groove
I've never listened to Opeth, assuming they would sound like all these current metal band with 1,000 mile an hour tempos, guitarists with supernatural human dexterity, and vocalists (if they even have one), that sounds like Godzilla pukin' up the Cookie monster!?! Opeth actually threw me a curve ball. Cool songs, killer ability, and a fantastic lead singer!! Wow, I shuda' tried that! What a great concept!!! Sean Black
This album grew on me immensely. I was pretty indifferent to it upon release but it has become my favorite of the non growl era records
Yeah I hated it for the first 4 listens, by the 5th listen I started to get it. Definitely one of the best post watershed albums.
My thought exactly! The best Opeth's clean vocal album this is! The problem with the previous albums is there are always tracks that sounds like just a filler, even in Pale Communion (my previous best clean vocal album) but all tracks in In Cauda Venenum are stands out! A magical piece of music journey from start to finish!
Ah, did you listen to the Sweddish version? Imo the whole vibe is much much better than the English one.
The mix is terrible, IMHO which does it no favors.
But yes, the best of their post-DM releases.
I loved this album immediately, Sorceress is the one that took time for me but now I think it rules as well! Heritage is the album I listen to the least, I love all other Opeth albums.
I was listening to this song and King Diamond Sleepless Nights vibes were tapping my shoulder. But overall totally different songs just some vibes from the past.
Incredible! So beautiful and dark and heavy and emotional all at the same time without sounding contrived. This is a masterpiece.
Opeth saved my life in 2003. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon them. Blackwater...Deliverance..mind blown to this day.
This song was depressing, but truth. Hardships of relationships. Nothing is forever. Ever-changing. Horns up!!
The entire opening was pure BEATLES! Nicely done, Mikael!
It reminded me of something that I could not find out... until I read this comment. It's like a darker version of across the universe 😁
siriusisastar I was thinking the same...even if after the opening change it seems that the Beatles are jealously guarded in the phrasing
It's the verse of The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill: th-cam.com/video/J39DC9t0I5o/w-d-xo.html
This video was released at the beginning of the end of what had previously been a happy relationship with a beautiful young woman. I'm not sad the relationship is gone, it had run its course but, this song sounds like the death rattle of it and it makes me feel like a moping broken hearted teenager.
So much hate in this comments section!
While i overall still prefer old Opeth, i think this song is excellent
Exactly...it's *them*...and I love it ALL
A man evolves from death metal god to the Musical Mastermind
Can't believe I'm going to see these legends in 2 days I'm gonna cry when I see em
@@pritambanik7228 see you there m8
can't wait to hear them play Ghost of Perdition. I might cry.
@@suhebkhan9054 fuck yes mate fuck yes
@@suhebkhan9054 doubt they do that anymore tho cause Mikael doesn't growl anymore
@@applepeel1662 I know man. Just imagine him doing it just for the crowd😭
Mikael and Steven mixed really well after Storm Corrosion.
Only been 2 minutes and I want to cry man. I can feel this video so much.
Bridge reminds me of You know my name - Chris Cornell
I was humming that for ages trying to guess where i had heard it. Thanks for putting me out of my misery.
Yeah its totally the same..
The most underrated masterpiece
Well aint that cheerfull, almost forgot about my should I drink a coffe or kill myself depression this morning haha. Great video, great song. Would be nice to see something in this manner for Lovelorn Crime!
At any rate, just drink a coffee. ;)
A new fan. This song is like the story book to my past life. The music just gives off those vibes and brings a smile to my face every time I hear this track.
One of the best songs from one of their best albums.
Can hear some solid morbid Angel influences.
Family, eh? What a great Thanksgiving song.
Best song of the album. They should start playing it live.
Opeth why your songs so good?
Listening and brings peace
The video has that lugubrious and empty air that I love ... Opeth does not disappoint, its sound has changed but it is still interesting and very creative... Long live Opeth
Thanks Marcela for loving and supporting us this far; Hope we all get to hit on the stage soon!!! Lots of love from Opeth 🖤
amazing song. just saw Opeth live 2 weeks ago. They sounded unbelievable.
Probably the only band whose live is better than actual song.
00:57 - 01:04
giving me goosebumps since 2019
Thank you for putting out both versions. I personally vastly prefer the Swedish version of each song, but that's not true for everyone.
In this song I`m hearing the return of my all-time favourites bands Uriah Heep and Deep Purple plus Zep.
This remember me to other mikael proyect. Storm corrosion-drag ropes. Both amazing videos
The concepts covered, solo here with this one are so POWERFUL.
Opeth nailed it yet again! ❤ Mikael you beauty. I am lucky that i am alive to hear this band. ❤
this is the first song i heard from opeth about 4 years back, and I'm glad this my virgin song. haha.
Opeth are great with or without growls
A freakin' audio and visual masterpiece...
Chris Cornell song You Know My have same parts with this song. Listen You Know My Name bridge to last chorus and compare with this song part from 1:05 to 1:20
I found a post by Mikael on Opeth's facebook from around the time Cornell died. He was talking about this song and how he loves it.
Glad I'm not the only one that went um hold on...
th-cam.com/video/ypdlAMXIvCM/w-d-xo.html - Universal Truth
th-cam.com/video/YnzgdBAKyJo/w-d-xo.html - You know my name
Nobody tell Vicki, she'll sue them!
Oh my god wow you are right! The melodies are almost identical.
That chorus part has a Chris Cornell - You Know My Name vibe...
These are musical masterpieces.
Somehow this song feels more 'Steven Wilson' than Steven's recent solo work. Opeth (and Mikael) is evolving to a new sound and I am absolutely loving it!
Love how they can put together such a beautiful , yet powerful song.. Amazing video as well 🖤🤘
Thanks sweetheart for loving and supporting us this far; Hope we all get to hit on the stage soon!!! Lots of love from Opeth 🖤
"Time won't heal any wounds you bare, a set few years of your life are stolen" me di cuenta después de perder esos años..
Forever grateful for Opeth, thank you for this gorgeous song. Absolutely fantastic.
Could tell straight away it was a Jess Cope video. Brilliant work yet again.
Reminds of the video of "Drag Ropes" by Storm Corrosion.
Anki Hansen drag ropes is by steven wilson+mikael akerfeldt from opeth
#1 band. Opeth covered a lot of ground in Metal, and I'm an old fan who loves their earlier discography, but this new album is top notch. It's epic!
Beautiful song and wonderfully uncomfortable visuals 🖤
Thanks Michelle for loving and supporting us this far; Hope we all get to hit on the stage soon!!! Lots of love from Opeth 🖤
This is Progressive Rock
1:04 to 1:18 Chris Cornell - Casino Royale
AdnanOkko almost exactly the same melody.
I really feel like I have to go to the Silver Spring show,I owe it to myself to experience this amazing band while I can,and I might not get the chance again,and if I don't I would really feel like I missed a golden opportunity and I would be kicking myself in the ass for eternity,they will definitely go down as one of the best metal bands ever🤟
I think people just don't realize how great this song is. The story behind the lyrics, the lyrics itself, the connection between how the song develops musically and the feelings and expressions of the man and the woman in pain. It's absolutely masterpiece.
I like the way you play with the words. Every song that you made gives a message that could be understood by analyzing these poetical words. An awesome work again, keep doing it!
The video reminds me of that old, really eerie and disturbing game called "The Cat Lady". I love the style, I just wonder if the artist that made this video was at all inspired by that video game.
The style of the video reminds me of Steven Wilson's solo piece called Drive Home. This is a beautiful song from Opeth and a great video to go along with it.
