OPETH - Demon Of The Fall (Reaction) We got the seatbelts ready  

On my 18th birthday I got to see Opeth live. The show was sold out and my Mom went to the venue during sound check earlier in the day and tried to get my albums signed. Martin Mendez and Peter Lindgren asked if we were coming to the show and obviously we weren't because it was sold out. Later that day my Mom blows me away with the best news. They put us on the guest list. I was at the show and Opeth gave me the best gift to commemorate my transition into adulthood. It was incredible. During the show, they were about to play the last song of the set and there was a moment of complete silence between the songs and I screamed out 'Demon Of The Fall', to which the crowd gave a thunderous bellow of approval. They played the last song and stepped off stage for a few minutes. The crowd, without any rest cried out for an encore. The crowd was beginning to show signs of fatigue when finally they came back on stage. Low and behold; my night was complete as they finished the show with 'Demon Of The Fall'. After that, I spent over an hour on their tour bus talking with Peter and Martin. It was a perfect birthday. That was 17 years ago.

I highly recommend the track "When" from this Opeth album. This album is a concept album with each song flowing into the next. "When" is a little longer and more progressive. Would make for an awesome reaction. Thx!

Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE....

I am voting for Lotus Eater next. Thats my favorite Opeth song from that era that you have not done yet.

Opeth - Burden Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Karnivool - Deadman 🤘

Every song leads into another song on this album.

My Arms, Your Hearse will always be my favorite Opeth album. Absolute brilliance.

Opeth - The Funeral Portrait The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous Vektor - Recharging The Void Tool - Eulogy

Opeth - Burden Opeth - Godheads Lament Opeth - The funeral portrait

Opeth - when ..the best song of this album ...

The only negative thing about this song, is that it is so short in comparison to what they have otherwise produced. It's so good though! Opeth - Moonlapse Vertigo Opeth - Godhead's Lament

Brilliant reaction to Opeth as ever.... has to be Lotus Eater next....

You guys need to do them more often! I'm not kidding when I say EVERY SINGLE SONG off this album is phenomenal, I would like to see you guys do more songs off their first albums like this one. Forest of October, The Night And The Silent Water, and April Ethereal, those should be included in your next poll as each is from one of their first 3 albums. But, that's just my 2 cents.

People listen the music and it’s unbelievable.. people genuinely need to sit and listen Mikael’s voice at he’s peak there’s been nobody better he’s brutal gutteral then drop into a smooth melodic is mind blowing man! Great reaction!

This is the third time I've gone through your playlist of Opeth reactions! It's so much fun to watch you both go through the journey of discovery with this band. It's a mind blowing ride and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Your fans are recommending the best of Opeth and it's just fantastic! When I first was introduced to this band it really ruined a lot of other bands for me for a long long time.

LOTUS EATER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way it flows into credence is so fucking perfect

Go back to opeth more often! it's great you are enjoying the songs that have built my metal taste

The song leads into credence, another great track on the album

Seeing the comments on the song “When” from the same album, definitely add that one the poll next, that one is another banger for sure

April Ethereal from this album was the 1st heavy song (and the second in general) that got me into Opeth.

DEMON. DEMON OF THE FAAAALLL April Ethereal, When, Karma, shit every song on this album is fantastic. best opeth album IMO.

Opeth - White Cluster but Opeth - BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL - the reaction to this would go down in history

Closure. Wreath. By the pain I see in others. Moonlapse Vertigo. Beneath the Mire. The Garroter. Sorceress. Burden. In mist she was standing. Silhouette.

Lotus Eater!!

Aaahmen! Beautiful! APRIL ETHEREAL from the same album. Totally sick.

Love to see a poll between these for the next opeth song 1. The Funeral Portrait 2. Heart in Hand 3. Moonlapse Vertigo 4. When 5. Windowpane

You need to do Wreath next. It's one of my favourite Opeth songs. By the Pain I see In Others is also really good. Anything off of Damnation is also awesome. You should also check out some of their newer stuff. Folklore, Cusp of Eternity, River, Sorceress, The Seventh Sojourn, A Fleeting Glance, Spring MCMLXXIV, and anything off of In Cauda Venenum you should react to at some point. Opeth is a band of many sounds and genres, and they keep evolving with each album.

Opeth - Black Rose Immortal

I don't know if anyone has mentioned that on this album "My arms, Your hearse" the last word from the last songs lyrics is the title of the next song

Opeth was still finding their sound in their first 3 albums, but they still turned out some great tracks. I'd highly recommend checking out The Twilight is My Robe off their first album, Orchid

By the pain I see in others Godhead's Lament Closure (live Lamentations) When April Ethereal 😉

this track accurately encapsulates classic opeth. it is is one of the most powerful songs ever composed by any band.

If you guys want to check out more early work of Opeth, the two songs I suggets are "Black Rose Immortal" and "The Twilight is my Robe" lml

Everybody loves this song for some of Akerfeldt's most primal screaming, but honestly this whole album is great. I really like both Karma & The Amen Corner as underrated tracks off this same album. I'm surprised you guys haven't checked out some of their newer stuff yet, although admittedly, I prefer the older stuff a bit more myself. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with Opeth. Even if you chose songs completely at random off their whole discography, it's really all quite good.

You should definitely do White Cluster. A great and underrated Opeth song.

Considering My Arms, Your Hearse was still very early for Opeth, Demons of the Fall remains a fan favourite, and for good reason. It showcased the switch ups between growl and clean singing to perfection, and it had such a murky, dirty atmosphere to it. Even then they were doing things that other metal bands just weren't doing. It was like they were handed the book of how to write music, promptly threw it out of the nearest window, fucked off to live in a dark forest, surviving on hallucinogenic mushrooms and peyote dreams before coming back to a studio with a nonchalant "we have something to show you".

Next track is Credence. Imposible for my not to listen to both songs together. This is porabably my second Opeth album right after Still Life. Such a masterpiece. When and The Amen Corner are bangers too.

Fingers still crossed for burden.

Do Burden next please!!!

MAYH, the album that got me into Opeth sooo many years ago. Funny how I still remember where it was and who played it for me, I tend to have a very lousy memory. After getting this album myself so I really could listen to it, Opeth quickly became my favourite band and still remain in the top spot.

Opeth - Burden The soft side of opeth, and an amazing one.

Best reaction channel ever!

yes!! one of my opeth fav. songs!!! this tack is a masterpiece! hail opeth

Do 'The Amen Corner' next from this album. Very underrated song!

A true classic. Demon of the Fall is always a crowd pleaser when played live.

Still so much to blow u away...keep the seatbelts for When

Opeth does "Concept Albums", meaning they are meant to be listened too from start to finish. That bit you heard first was last bit of "The Amen Corner". They are just Sooo Much Fun, as are Yall!! Thanks Sooo Much, Love Yall!

Still a lot to hear from this band, bye the pain i see in others, moonlapse vertigo, beneath the mire, funeral portrait, nectar, all damnation album, wreath, when, face of Melinda, sorceress, un cauda, funeral pyre, and the lives, wich are outstanding dude.... 🤘🤘 This band has been my favourite from all f** time.

We all would love a full show reaction to an Opeth live show. Royal Albert Hall is my fav, but they’re all incredible. Do the whole show, we’d all watch it!!!

To Bid You Farewell PLEASE GUYS

That was a Hell of a reaction to a Hell of a song, loved it.👏

Silent dance with death. Everything is lost. Torn by the arrival of Autumn. The blink of an eye, you know it's me You keep the dagger close at hand. And you saw nothing. False love turned to pure hate. The wind cried a lamentation before merging with the grey. Demon of the fall. Gasping for another breath. She rose, screaming at closed doors. Seductive faint mist forging through the cracks in the wall. I shant resist. In tears for all of eternity. She turned around and faced me for the first time. Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE.

This song always amazes me.

You two are so much fun to watch. I'm a long time Opeth fan and I get such a kick out of seeing other people react to songs I love. I've loved each of your reactions to their songs.

Oh lord. This is dangerous.

Yes! This whole album is fucking 🔥👌 Great job guys!

The energy!!! Best reaction channel ever!

This is one of Opeth song which is fast and progressive even in melody parts.. People speak of other songs like April Etheral, When but i highly recomend THE AMEN CORNER.. I would also like you to try a band called SOEN.. Its amazing

"BY THE PAIN I SEE IN OTHERS"... must react to this one!

Yes this is one of my favorite songs

Speaking of the tone on Mikael's voice. He told in an interview once that he had a cold during the recording sessions. That resulted in a very, IMO, satisfying, deep growl on the entire album. My Arms, Your Hearse is one of their best efforts, for sure.

This song is the part of the story where the ghost, the main character, is abandoned by his lover and becomes an angry vengeful spirit. I think they nailed that vibe with this one.

The look on her face at 5:44 when it hits her, is how this song hits me every time...@gettingopeth

wow...those of us who've requested this over the years, we thank you. and now, you know. Love you guys, watched everything and wait (for ages it seems) for your Opeth reactions every time. Been on your journey from day one.

As an Opeth fan throughout all of their discography I would recommend hessian peel, beneath the mire, and The apostle in triumph...I highly doubt you would be disappointed

my fav track of this LP (along with "april ethereal" and "karma" ) / how about trying the "other side" of Opeth with songs like "burden" or "isolation years" ( Mikael sounds just like Roland Orzabal of Tears For Fears on the chorus ) , beautiful melodies have no secrets either for these guys

Wreath got wasted. Demon of the Fall is a simple simple track. I'd suggest "When" from My Arms Your Hearse album, same album with Demon.

Y'all may like Enslaved, basically the Opeth of black metal and absolutely legendary. Try: Singular, Roots of the Mountain, Night Sight, Reflection, As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Edit: oh and Ihsahn, who Mikael has collaborated with. He's on the track Unhealer. Though I would also recommend Frozen Lakes on Mars, Celestial Violence, and The Barren Lands. Contaminate Me by Leprous (ft. Ihsahn) is also fucking incendiary, you two would love it.

Opeth - When (The Roundhouse Tapes) might be their best performance

I follow and see you in silence since you opened the channel. I adore this song. Now is really time for a first Dream Theater poll if you are still the humble and curious persons you were here ❤👋 at the time. many thanks for the attention

Excellent! ! I'm glad you got to this album, it's my favorite and doesn't get much attention. When, would be a great choice on this album. Thank you!

Demon. Demon of the fall. Demon. Demon of the fall.

Demon of the fall. My favorite of all times . Simply the best on MAYH

GUYS did you know - on every song of this album , the last lyric from each song is the name of the next song 😍

In 2007, the first time I ever saw Opeth live here in Perth, Australia, the power for the lights in the venue went out for a good 10 minutes just before the encore which was this song - Mikael and co were on stage with working amps and shit, they asked, should we continue anyway? We all screamed YEAH!!! They did! They played *Demon of the Fall* in complete darkness!!! It was so good!!!! 0:39 - that is backwards, so reverse that into and it is a live version of this song's intro!

I am super happy to see reviewers/reactors that can appreciate the musicality and the theatre of this music.

I'm glad you did almost most of their best songs. I, as a fellow Opeth fan, feel deeply satisfied, fucking thanks alot for these reactions

You did it finally! This is a must, you had to do this! What about the amen corner from the same record? Actually, maybe it's time for soft opeth. Go for "to bid you farewell". For me is like metallica's "fade to black", one of those song so beautifully sad that leave you full of emptiness. Probably my favourite

Amazing track. First time I heard it I must admit.. You should def try Burden by Opeth, it is something different but still beautifull..

For the angelic side of Mikael’s voice, check out “Benighted” off their 1999 masterpiece album, Still Life (my favorite Opeth album). His voice in this song is silky smooth.

What a great channel you got going on. Tool, Opeth, Gojira, and Porcupine tree all my favourite bands. Also Lamb of God in there along 90's alice in chains but still, you do covers on some proper stuff haha

Please do April Ethereal... Just as legendary.

I know what the poll said is what the poll said but you gotta do the roundhouse tapes for this song too. Insane.

Hope you guys do Burden and eventually Wreath as well. 🤞🤘

It'as time you reacted to 'WHEN' by Opeth

A 90s alt rock ballad within an opeth song is such a trip

Ohhhhh, my favorite!!!

WHEN same album is a marstepiece too

If you have played or written music you can tell where things are going to go even with the musical geniuses that are tool you can learn their tendencies, opeth write in such a way that multiple directions would work equally that is the genius. The calibre of composition is astounding to the extent of being unpredictable no matter if you have a strong understanding of music, that is why many musicians love them, they can surprise even those who have studied songwriting.

Lotus Eater next, for sure!

I love how you guys keep the pointless chatter to a minimum, just enjoying some great fucking music! Also interesting tidbit about this album. The last word of every song is the title of the track that comes after it. The last word in this song being Credence which is an incredible acoustic song if you want to check it out.

This was so good. Now it's time for Porcupine Tree. Time flies live will blow you away. I also think the time is ripe for Steven Wilson. Try Luminol live in Mexico 😉

More Opeth soon I hope. Anything will do, but I'd like to see "Moon Above, Sun Below".

Next level: April ethereal, When, Godhead’s lament.

Wreat or Moonlapse Vertigo next

“DEMON” I love Åkerfeldt’s voice 🤤 Opeth is legendary. Y’all should should listen to “The Fall” by Gojira now 😎 only fitting after this lol

This was the first opeth album I ever heard. I remember getting done with band practice (bass in a metal band) and thinking, there's no reason to play anymore, this everything I've ever wanted to hear and I didn't even know I wanted it.

Opeth is incredible! Just... amazing band!

Imagine this album if it had the production of blackwater park...also, *Meshuggah- Dancers to a Discordant System* please :) NO ONE has reacted to it yet
