Opeth 4th part - Pale Communion(2014) and song from Ghost Reveries(2005)

Today I bring you to date their most recent album Pale Communion, From here I can only share with you their official video from this album, Cusp of Eternity, As I don't know this album that much to advise you in which or not to hear, just didn't want to not post this one

To compensate my lack of knowledge in this album, I will go back in time a little and share with you Isolation Years from Ghost Reveries album from 2005, in this song you can now feel the loneliness of the woman present

Opeth 3rd part - Watershed (2008)

Today The highlights are on my Opeth's favourite album, Watershed, This album as almost two parts one before burden and other after burden, the first part more heartly soft and more musically harsh, the second one clearly more sentimental. Around the net it's said in the process of composing Watershed, Mikael lost someone dearest to him which committed suicide, and from there Burden appears, the next songs are than a bit darker in emotion then the ones before. It's this mix that simply amazes me in this album

The first one is Coil, this one is a really calm song with some emotion in it

The seconds one, third in the album I want to show you it's called Lotus Eater, It alternates between musically heavy sound and some more symphonic

The next one, it's obviously Burden, the full version, you can feel his sorrow on the whole song even in the music

The last one I will show you it's Porcelain Heart, in comparion to Coil, Heir Apparent and Lotus Eater, this one is musically less heavy but emotionally darker, as I mentioned in the pattern before.

Opeth 2nd part - Damnation (2003)

Today I bring you the 2nd part of my Opeth post, today from Damnation album there are three songs I would like to share with you
The first one of the album Windowpane, I think it has all the elements in progressive metal.

The 2nd one of the album In my Time of Need, this one is more dramatic a lot more emotion and feeling in it

The last one I want to show you it's called To Rid the Disease, 6th of the album, simple as amazing it's treating a bit the dark feelings as they were a disease

Opeth 1st part - Still Life(1999) and Blackwater Park (2001)

Today I bring you one of the biggest bands in progressive metal, after making the presentation with Storm Corrosion, now I bring you the main band from Mikael Akerfeldt, Opeth.
Their sound until recently derivated between some heavier and some melodic sounds. , I skipped some of the very early albums, but check them, it's really good, I just have to adjust the time I have.

From Still Life I chose a song called Face of Melinda, It make us think about several stuff, and is stupendously well made

I choose those albums from their early fase for having some of my favourite songs
From Blackwater Park I leave you the two Patterns in the Ivy parts, one of which, the first one is instrumental, this two songs are beautifully made

 

 

ProgCenter - Storm Corrosion - Storm Corrosion 2012

Greetings my friends from metal, from progressive metal or rock or just music fans in general, welcome
Today I bring you a mix of two wonderful worlds, more properly the genius of Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and several other projects, and the voice and musical quality of Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth. What arrives from here is what one could expect if we merged Porcupine Tree or some Steven Wilson's solo album sound and we mixed it with Opeth more in doom/progressive sound. What result is a really heavy atmosphere of immense sounds and pleasures.
I live you the song which they made an excellent animated movie to, you can sense what is sang along the music, Drag Ropes

 

This is my way to introduce the world of Opeth, which will be the next band I will talk about, what kind of progressive metal would I be without mention Opeth? for  this I once again posted something on Wednesday. Saturday the first part of Opeth Post.
