Opeth - Dirge for November (Audio) 

that, or i wont see you tonight. both have their beauty.

​@@RagingInsomniac a7x is the definition of metal beauty

​@@circumcizednun1814 most of their discography is metalcore lmao. They sound like metal version of mainstream country music

​@@Moskalineludy Theyre still a good band and easier to get into than opeth. I show opeth to metalheads and even they rarely like it, cant really see a non metalhead being blown away by them.

But that's the thing: certain parts of this hardly fit into the category of Metal, which is the music that SOME people don't enjoy

Dayum right For me it's more saddening, like hauntingly sad 😳😔

And 🔥🔥🔥

It's haunting but beautiful at the same time.

Best part

The intro is a somber malaise, the verses are a deep emotional meltdown, the outro is the exhaustion

This song reminds me of death and how limited my time is.

Not really getting "cold" vibes from this song. It is pretty emotionally loaded though, that's for sure. Songs from Still Life are way darker really

How is this song simple

Sun isn't a fireball it's nuclear fusion but yeah 😝

Wow dude you are looking the same like Martin Lopez

Hope you're well, cheers

Hope youre ok ❤

Hope you doing good bro

Sad to here it bro. November is the month I was born, so its kinda happy month for me. Still a lot of bad incidents happened on November such as terrorist attacks.

Damn. I can relate to this

A monster called, Mikael, Opeth's Bane, doesn't like this song. He thinks this is the worst Opeth song ever and this makes me kill him. HOW?!?!?!

No one with actual taste likes heavy metal

@@johnvincent1823 No one with actual taste writes off an entire genre as bad.

Can you hear the high pitched screeches?

Yeah so hard to pick my favorite Opeth album but if I had to pick it would probably be Blackwater park.

Blackwater park was pure banger except for the funeral portrait

Bleak is the weakest track on BWP..

@@lukaskuipers7791 The Funeral Portrait is fucking awesome, what are you talking about?

@@JonnyCrackers I'm talking about the funeral portrait easily being the worst track on the album

true,if not the very best,then certainly one of them....!

listen to The Last Milestone by Leprous.

I do that now at 28 😅

nailed it!

and that bassline, killer!

who would think to parse chords and leads in such a soul destroying way

Its a simple riff but there are layers of guitars creating a sort of orchestra there....the overall sound is incredible and classic, like something Beethoven could have done.

Couldn't agree more. Eargasm at its finest.

They reached the pinnacle !

it's literally called a dirge

Gonna be mine, it's what I would have wanted anyhow.

I wanted to walk down the aisle to this song, but decided not to in the end because it sounded as if I was walking to my doom. Would have been cool though 😌😏

@sirennemesis hahaha. You have great taste tbh. Wouldve been cool af if you did this in your wedding xD

Wow

This guy gets it^

I love this comment 🖤

Is this song about suicide?

@@capsulecorp6975 It most probably is.

"There's something just different about this song" It's the power of black metal.

It feels very repetitive. It has a certain charm no other opeth song has imo. Very dark and also 2 of the best acoustic sections.

I been listening to pretty much exclusively Opeth for 3 years, and I thought if I would ever get sick of them. Your comment gives me hope that I will not, and of course, how could I ever get sick of such an amazing band?

Every Opeth song is one of their best songs

@@cpfantastic5576 No Black Metal!

I've felt like the end isn't necessarily the sadness of others, but the laying there draining out, helpless to stop what you've done to yourself. Apathetic helplessness as you fade to black.

I don't know about all that other stuff but it sure as fuck is about suicide.

I interpret the ending as the dark peace of the afterlife

During the last part I imagine a black cloud enveloping around the streets from where he died

@@asloii_1749 Thank you for bringing me back to this comment section so I could remember how cringe my 14 year old self was

It's really dark. The last part of the riff sounds like it's gonna resolve but it loops back into the beginning of the riff, which is just tritones. It sounds even darker and more dissonant when you expect a resolution. It's three guitars too, by the way.

@@RottingWays new opeth still has some good songs, but i doubt they'll produce another masterpiece like this.

I like the new Opeth, when you do the same thing over and over (see Iron Maiden) all your songs become a blurr. But when you change it up with still good music but different, it allows classics like this song to be appreciated in its fullest. Its why as a tool fan, I was not crazy about their new album, because it just sounded like a rehash of Lateralus, but a second rate one. They didnt grow at all. 10,000 days was pretty good (although a bit too much filler to make it great) and at least it sounded different from the previous album. Their new album just sounds like nostalgia. With opeth it took me a while to get into Sorceress and Heritage (havent heard pale communion yet, but I have the CD) but once I did I could appreciate it. Are there songs on those albums that sound like experiments that dont work? Sure, but at least they are taking chances. Take The Ward as an example, COMPLETELY different from Blackwater park sound, and certainly not as complex, but its special in its simplicity and puts you in a mood. My point to all of this is growth and change is good, it keeps the passion and doesnt water down previous work.

@@soakedbearrd Actually, seriously the best defence I've heard for their change in sound. Good job.

@@soakedbearrd I agree completely. Plus Michael said he doesnt really listen to death metal anymore. Why would he try to write music he has no wish to. It would be hollow. And yeah not like the numerous albums from the past are going anywhere.. they just grow in value to people like us that love the old sound.

@@soakedbearrd Their new album sucks balls tho

yeah, wish they returned to that... cant stand the new stuff, especially using that fucking hammond keyboards everywhere

Mikael said that without to live is to die opeth would never have existed

@@lukaweiss9147best metallica song ever made one of the best metal bands in history, not a surprise

Couldn't have said it better @Jerry Boone!

Over a year late but fucking amen to that! \m/

Detestor 420 add tool to that and i’m with you

Agree with everything you said!

Gojira is not on this level. Mastodon maybe :)

@@lukaskuipers7791 not even Mastodon. Have them learn how to write lyrics and build such haunting melodies, instead of just djenting those guitars like there's no tomorrow, then we can speak.

they uploaded this song very late haha

would you say depressing ? I'd say soothing (and beautiful).

I was trying to learn this outro on guitar but I had to stop. I just wanted to die. I was happy and then all of the sudden life just had no meaning. It just depressed me for the rest of the day. I had never felt like that before. It's really amazing what music can do to you.

Opeth is infinite my friend, and cool avi btw ;)

The entire intro is ff'ing brutal. Why wait until 2:42? If you ask me, the part before it is even better.

@@donenzonen came back years later to say no doubt, just happens to be my favorite section :)

‎

I've been feeling like in this song, everday for God knows how long. Can't remember the last time I didn't feel like ending it. Perhaps when I was 15/16 , but don't remember. All I know is that everyday since then I felt like just keeling over and dieing. Loneliness is a huge part of it, but it's so true. We are born alone and will die alone. Even so called 'best friends' are only interested in their own lives.

@@Ethan-ue2xb not nearly as much as it should have tho

Real opeth fans are rare, it ain’t popular we’ve just had this bitch on repeat for years

Same. I'm hopelessly stuck on a loop.

Of course, you're not alone.

A few jarring moments like the transition at 1:44 made me think at first that this was one of the weaker songs on the record. Took me another listen to realize brilliance of this beautifully depressing song.

Took me a long time to get into growls Im not going to lie. But the more ive gotten into it (certain bands not all of them lol) the more I was able to appreciate Opeths music. That being said I like 70/30 split between his clean and growl. I do like when he uses it for emphasis and to add dynamic to the song, but I dislike it when its just for the purpose of growling which is why I feel Ghost Reveries was one of my least liked albums. I love deliverance (and damnation) and Still life along with this album (probably my fav overall) so I can get into the growls. But if you were to tell me this 4 years ago I would have said BS what is this heavy shit (even though ive been a metalhead for years).

Always love the growls. Always love Opeth

Enchanting. That's the right word for it. That's the part they lost in their transition into a prog-rock band.

Ive noticed thats a common trend for Opeth fans, they thought they were just alright at first then slowly became huge fans of them

I learned this song on an electric guitar while suffering my first breakup. You never forget your first love, you put on different masks for her but she will always be the same, and illusive.

brutal

There are more fish in the sea mates! Keep your spirits up!

Me.

Autumn is the best season ever

11/11

lovin it.

It's shimmer reverb effect on the guitar : ) Many reverb pedals have the effect.
