How do people actually like Opeth? It infuriates me to listen to any of their albums because theres literally no riffs and has regular rock band drumming.
lmao i never listened to them and don't plan to
I dig them because of Mikkael's vocals and his sick solos, also because I like the melodies and the atmosphere they create. Their first two albums are real sloppy when it comes to progressions and a good portion of them don't really make sense, but stuff like MAYH and Still Life are pretty good and display their progress. But yeah, they don't riff at all and everything they made after Still Life varies from mediocre to total garbage.
I always considered opeth a riff salad. How would one not consider them as such? Not trolling, curious. I get why people dont like them but they are one of my all-time favorites, up to and including ghost reveries
Riff salad? They're riffless in a sense that all of their riffs are generic as fuck and none of them truly standout. The term riff salad is usually applied to bands such as Dark Angel or MA that are loaded with bitching riffs, not to bands like Opeth.
black metal time
r8, h8, rec
So it's more about taste than anything else? Fair enough. I'll say though that there are some amazing riffs across their discography.
You don't like Abstrakt Algebra off of Abstrakt Algebra by Abstrakt Algebra?
What are some you'd like to highlight?
riff salad means that the riffs are put together randomly and without any flow
basic bitch/10
Yeah, but can't it also be used the opposite for bands like MA that have dozens and dozens of riffs that are incorporated very well into the music and have a good flow?
no
Why not?
this guy gets it
this guy doesn't

Black metal and noisecore for everyone
because that's not what it means, it comes from the term "word salad" which means a bunch of random words without any sense
Aight, mb then.

No I just dont like that colour/finish, it seems very banal
Why is this their most popular album when they also released A Blaze in the Northern Sky and Under a Funeral Moon?

How do you deal with bands/albums with names in cyrillic?
I have some slav albums and I'm always mixing them up
Taakes second album will always be one of my favorite black metal albums. Ive listened to the first track on it a thousand times.
Never really understood the appeal of Satanic Warmster. It is the most generic black metal band I have ever listened.
I'm about to start listening to Thorns for the first time.
Learn the script. It's only 30 or so letters
When I'm drunk I always end up listening to Cryptopsy and Venom
Mostly by album cover, and if the band have a romanized name I'll use it instead of the cylliric one

My old friend was huge COUNTESS fanatic, he always forced me to listen this about 10 years ago.
I lost contact with him years ago, but that particular song had so ridiculous synths that like few years ago I started to think "What the fuck was that band again with the most ridiculous fucking synth ever that sounded so good"
Then I accidentally rediscovered COUNTESS and it was much better than I even did remember

Beer isn't exactly "hard liquor", but you get the idea
I'm trying to download the Thorns album on soulseek but can't find it anywhere.
Thorns is for extremely high IQ people, maybe you're not ready
Do people no longer visit random south american blogspots for album RARs? Either way, here's a mediafire link, I just tested it and it's the album in mp3 format
mediafire.com
Are you the same retard who's always posting about having trouble with soulseek? If so; fuck off. And if it's multiple anons doing that; also fuck off.
Found it. Searching for self-titled albums on soulseek is terrible.
It helps if you search for album title+release year. "Thorns 2001" instead of just thorns
Maybe, I'd still consider trying out "artist album rar" in google next time, it's surprisingly good
thanks for the tip
Am I the only hifi purist here? Won't even download albums if they're not in FLAC and only listen high end system to listen them, with their perfections or imperfections
Could not literally enjoy music for years when listened mp3s through some shitty low end speakers, thought I was just becoming old but after I purchased some DAC converter, high end speakers and studio monitors suddenly all those records I used to enjoy became listenable
Maybe it was placebo, I don't know.
So, you're here to save the world...
Then your missing out on one of the greatest metal bands ever

I'm too plebian to tell the difference
I've heard very, very few examples of mp3 compression being audible
You're certainly taking a gamble by downloading mp3, but the odds are very high that there'll be no actual difference
In some mp3s you'll get cymbals that sound crunchy, it's rare and that's pretty much the full extent of the effect
I try to download all my albums in 320 kbps mp3 format. There's definitely a "cleaner" sound to it.
FLAC should be used for archiving.
I've used both FLAC and MP3 and personally can't hear the difference
It is definitely a subtle difference, but noticeable when used high end systems in my opinion.
Even when listening track like this on youtube in 480p
youtube.com
Or HD here:
youtube.com
and when I compare it to FLAC version which is basically lossless compression: I can hear subtle difference, especially in the more subtle reverb type of stuff. The difference is minor and subtle, but it is something that I can definitely notice without imagining things.
IM THE DEVIL
I LOVE METAL
>Jesus, what a mindjob
I don't feel the difference between your average mp3 and FLAC is as noticeable as 480p vs HD, that one is legitimately huge and 480p is unlistenable for the most part. To each their own though
because it has the best cover art

The original is always the best, and Fenriz posed like that on the cover of Transilvanian Hunger just to pay homage to Dead's cover on Live in Leipzig

This is great.
Whadda you SAY to something like that?
Is this melodeath?
yes
I disagree in regards to DSO I generally don't like them but this release was very solid imo. Also why is Batyushka cringe? Because its popular?
Seeing Possessed tonight, AMA
yeah, the riffs are just a bit more racist sounding than usual
>Because its popular?
Extreme cringe
Exactly, DsO was solid, their previous stuff has been more than solid.
>Also why is Batyushka cringe? Because its popular?
Do I even need to respond to that? Fuck hell user.
IT CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS
Nah, but because they're bland as fuck and only talked about for their gimmick. Outside that they're nothing and people usually jerking off to them are people that don't even listen to metal, so there's that. As for DsO, I loved their newest release as it reminded me a lot of Paracletus. They just keep on giving and giving.
post metal albums for me to listen to so i can go through with killing myself

How many of you guys have/had your own (metal) bands? One-Man bedroom projects do not count.
>One-Man bedroom projects do not count.
y-you dont count!
I've played in dm, porngrind and doom bands. None have released anything worth sharing. Honestly one-man works great for more serious genres, but you can't beat beer and friends for thrash/grind/fun shit
>Honestly one-man works great for more serious genres
Why? I've played in a Death Metal band and we released stuff through labels. Nothing majorly big, but like 5000 copies per release type of stuff, did some touring.
Now that it has been disbanded for years I have my own atmo black project in vein of old Summoning, Caladan Brood (you get the deal) I am just overwhelmed how much it fucking sucks to record all on your own
Back in the day we would just rehearse our own parts respectively, go to studio and be done with it. This is just way too much to play all the instruments, program the drums, mix, master, play the synths.. you get the deal.
It's too slow this way. Would at least need some another guy like Summoning, this takes way too much time alone
youtube.com
what is this song from? I found this album on an old hard drive and this is the only song that I have a vague memory of listening to before. I'd guess it was from a video game soundtrack, but my google searches have brought me nothing in the way of an answer.
How do you sing along to a song like this
from the stomach
well, its boring, poorly-overproduced, and overall generic sounding. so you could be thinking of any thing
I wouldn't say it's objectively better to play alone, but I've found it a lot easier to write interesting shit alone. The exception is drums, unless you're a drummer it's incredibly difficult to program beats that are up to par. You get used to it, but it's still a bit of a slog.
>studio
Yeah we never got there, at best we recorded it all in my living room
>i'm trying very hard to have my post be featured in the next wave of board-specific Yea Forums banners
Well its different when you have totally competent musicians around
I would finish song to like 80%, but some parts needed some chiseling, I would send it to another guitarist who would make the different part work and the song was like 95% finished
When the songs got close to that 95-98% mark we would enter studio. Usually the song was 100% when we listened the producer/recorders opinion and make slight changes how we had rehearsed it...
I can make record good sounding instruments, using Superior Drummer for my drum beats for the moment: real problem is making good sounding mixes and mastering.
I personally would consider that learning to play some instrument perfectly ( or at least better than average ) is 10x easier than to produce good sounding mixes or final, mastered products.
some people get really triggered if you talk about current year metal
The opening solo is one of my favorite guitar parts ever written
raw black metal underground lol umad

Goatowarex released this gem, so glad I got a copy. I'm pretty sure that not everyone will like it but it reminds me of BSoD a lot
if you want something actually metal sounding with Akerfeldt, try Bloodbath. Pic related didn't have him doing vocals, but he was there from 1998 to 2012, skipping 2004.

lmao at both of you. How shittier your taste can go? Opeth makes(well, made) unique prog metal with death metal influence, while BB is just entry level catchy dm for ppl who thinks that Slayer is still a peak of metal.
Damn this plebs are stoopid as hell
>praising Opeth at all
>well, made
yeah i agree
it's made at the very least
>Opeth
>well made prog metal
Pick one and only one

unfortunately Mikael lost his ability to growl normally
damn you wrote your options wrongly lad
that's how it should be:
>well made prog metal by Opeth

Opeth isn't even good prog though but type your memearrows out if it makes ya feel any better
Opeth? More like Oh Crap, This Band Is Bad!
why is Bathory so fucking good lads

Because Batlord rules
damn those retards hating on Opeth should be dead. Fucking betas
You, a virgin listening to Opeth.
Me, a chad fucking broads to Bathory.
your taste is crap pleb.
bcs Bathory is the best
because they aren't Opeth
Wanna hear a joke? Opeth. That is all.
you are just beta in disguise
Opeth? More like they blow.
I get it! It's funny because they're BAD!
wanna hear a joke? Your taste

Opeth? More like Blowpeth
It's funny because it's true.

Why are we talking about Opeth?
is it 2007?
Okay budds, i just have soft spot for Opeth. But hating on them is just an absurdity.
there are still some artists from 80-90 which are relevant today also. Why not discuss Opeth then?
opeth is so fucking uninteresting
just goes in one ear out the other
This is unironically the best Opeth album
During my artsy phase I would smoke weed and when the weather started to get that autumn vibe. Truly a 5/5 album. I still think I am too jaded to enjoy it ever again though and I also stopped the marijuana habit long ago.
Based
Because you have to have an IQ above 90 to understand them
Maybe you should catch the music by attaining a brain and placing it between both ears.
Based
This. It's not even truly "bad" - it's listenable, but why not listen to something good instead?
I doubt half of you cunts even listen to metal, all you seem to do is bash the greats
I only listen to Kate Bush albums on repeat so sorry your gay ass band gets flack
I'm not bashing the greats, I'm bashing Opeth.
Fuck off and die, boomer
You don't count as a metal listener if you only listen to entry-level bands.
I agree, Corpsegrinder is so underrated nowadays. But at least they're bashing a band that deserves it right now like Opeth though lmao
Just trimmed my asshole and balls hairs. Music for this feel?
>samefagging
just when you thought the opeth shill couldn't get any more pathetic
On the contrary, the reason why some anons here aren't the biggest Opeth fans is because they actually listen to metal
who /boomer/ here?
Opeth are a top ten metal band
>Opeth
>Boomer
I don't only listen to entry level bands though, and Opeth aren't entry level
They're not bashing current Opeth though
LETS TRIP ON LSD LMAO
I have not listened anything by Darkthrone after F.O.A.D. so few nights ago I was having beers with my friends and we decided to give it a go.
Could not get past 45 seconds. Old Star sounded so bad.
Stupid, boring, shit. Those are the words that came to my mind. Me and my friend both agreed that if some less known band would have tried to look a label or a distributor to release something like that it would have never been released.
Probably will check how low the have gone 5 years from now on.
At first I thought that dude was trolling, but damn, he's actually retarded. Oh well.
Most people haven't even heard of Opeth
Imagine unironically being an Opeth fan in 2k19
If that were the case I'd commit sudoku
could you fuck off, you're only embarrassing yourself
Yeah, like you and the rest of this stale general
Blackwater Park is top ten metal album
Eat my cold shit
I unironically love Old Star. Duke of Gloat and The Key is fucking kickass

I'm pretty sure they have. Opeth's a fairly popular band. Plus, this IS a metal discussion general, so it's very unlikely they haven't heard of them

Who is the Goku of metal?
I'm talking about normies or even non-normies
Metallica, while Vegeta is Megadeth
You're wrong yet again since normies adore Opeth. At least keep your shitposting interesting, this is just pathetic.
nah mate i listen to metal
i just have shit taste
obviously it's not THAT bad of taste if you aren't shilling Opeth
I have not met a single person into Opeth so you're wrong
>anecdotal evidence
That's a no from me.
You know what fuck you I'm going on Reddit at least they have actual appreciation for true art
this as well. I've never met a single metal fan who likes Opeth, and I live in the biggest city in my region
we hardly knew ye
You do realise normies don't listen to metal. They listen to Slipknot and Disturbed
even the normalfags I know don't listen to them, it's always the bitchy emo scene girls who like them for whatever reason
Is Necrophagist high IQ metal?
I've seen a couple of "friends" on normiebook post Opeth songs and they usually listen to punk rock and stoner rock, does that count for anything?
This is +130 IQ metal
youtube.com
yes
Well if they listen to stoner rock they aren't normies
>They listen to Slipknot
AS IF THAT'S A BAD THING
it's poopoo peepee metal
I don't think you people realise what a normie is. A normie would only know Enter Sandman, Paranoid and Ace of Spades and a few other songs and that's it
That's not the case in Greece user. Stoner's really popular.
stoner rock is one of the most normie accessible and accepted forms of music out there. hipsters flocked to stoner and doom long ago. they consumed it faster than they did black metal.
Post some obscure /shred/ gems
It's different here. Some people haven't even heard of Judas Priest
Lmao Opeth is just Tool with harsh vocals
>Despite all this Opethposting, the thread still dies right before reaching the bump limit
Some things never change
Opeth sucks? What's next, Burzum?
Fuck this
Any other high IQ anons listen to downtempo deathcore?
^
Opeth have to be one of the least proggiest 'prog' bands I've ever heard. It's just idea hacked onto idea with nothing interesting to be found anywhere. Nothing musically intriguing or worth coming back to. Mikael uses some nice tonalities but my god their rhythm section is so banal. It's easy to see why they attract shitforbrain neckbeards who enjoy appearing to be cultured.
Somebody post the switch edit
give good prog recs then
/meal/ was shitting on Burzum the other day
Opeth are one of the tightest and most technically efficient bands ever
