Opeth - Famine (Audio) 

Simulated Rain I deff get more into this the older I get. 🤷🏼‍♂️

feels like king crimson

So if you liked Eminem and all of a sudden he came out with a country album you be like, “YES! Let’s go. This is dope!!!”?

@@Denvercoder yeah if it was good, the fuck?

@@Denvercoder Eminem has no country influence. 70s prog has always influenced Opeth and they were going to go all in and do something in this direction eventually. It's great for what it is and the albums from here have only gotten better. Dark progressive rock is my favorite genre of any music so I am biased but they do it justice. Bands need to evolve

someone was gonna do it anyway, so better them i guess

Heritage was my first Opeth album as well. No regrets. Still haven't listened to Blackwater Park yet though...

@@sidneystokes6882 give it a listen, bro. No regrets 😎

The intro sounds like moldau from the composer smetena.

Oh, YES. The flute on this track, combined with its flawless mix into Opeth's sound is orgasmically beautiful...

Tom McSorley Jr. ditto.

Listen to Björn J:son´s "Billathi Askara" (Bike Voyage II) ...

Brokenscam clearly you have never listened to folk metal.

+Javier Bustos (Deadletters90) Meh, definitely their most experimental track, I like it for that.

@EricMetalhead ...And then there was "Strange Brew" ! :D

@@EricMetalheadBecause Opeth were NEVER experimental before this right?

@@xXAscendingPhoenixXx He clearly didn't say that. In fact he implied the opposite by saying "most".

GUIDO BOTTAZZO They did thank you?

Couldn't agree more. That drum fill and eerie release sell thsi song to me

Folklore and Haxprocess are my 2 favs. But Famine is a goodun

If you ask me "I Feel the Dark" and "The Devil's Orchard" are cooler. But hey, the entire album kills....if you ask me. ✌

That bass riff in Lines in my Hand though... I feel those three tracks are the best of the album.

Haxpröcess

NO, DEATH METAL = GUD, NOT DEATH METAL = NOT GUD

I'd say Orchid and Morningrise are their worst, and that's an opinion even Åkerfeldt has

@@Javier-il1xi Mikael doesnt like whole early Opeth and he even considers “By The Pain I See In Others” from Deliverance their worst song, but that doesnt make those albums bad, Orchid or Morningrise is no worse than any of Opeth albums, they are unique and beautiful

@@Javier-il1xi I agree, but that's because I don't like death metal

yeah!, its just different, like quidam, remember that name, good band.

thanks for recommending quidam. they are sick!!

That is what good music does.. The many layers do not become apparent until the Nth listening.. That is what makes this Art.

It's Björn J:Son Lindh

They are JT's fans. But,yes. All this song is magnificent.

hell yeah amazing memories

hahaha i realized i wrote this here 10 month ago lol

yes

XDdd

ptipana I still personally view Opeth as a Death Metal band, but this new stuff is fucking great. If I want Death Metal Opeth, I'll just go listen to Ghost Reverie or Blackwater Park. It is as simple as that. Rock the fuck on Opeth!

ptipana souhail sup

@@Dr_Andracca lol Blackwater Park and Ghost Reverie is not death metal albums, they are Prog Metal. I'd consider 'Orchid' and 'Morningrise' as death.

@CaptainCatsu No.

The great Alex Acuna! (Weather Report...and many others) ;)

5 secs in google and I found the answer, he died cause braincancer, but I don't know if he is playing in this track.

Quinn Windsor Correct, check out the Making of Heritage DVD (included with the special edition CD) and you'll see him playing it. MA has nothing but praise for the guy. RIP

Thanks. I will.

Brittany Nicole hahahaha spot on

naw diablo 2

(y)

Check out Atonement from Ghost Reveries to hear more of the same percussion.

+Peter Mayer Steven Wilson have been workiing with Opeth science Blackwater Park and he is one of the main reasons of the new mixtures Opeth makes on its sound.

True. There are lots of Oldpeth (Morningrise, Orchid and Mayh) enjoyers out there. Some are putting Morningrise/Mayh to their top 5/S Tier. Morningrise is in my top 3. Heritage is good, but nowhere near the first 3.

@@daghetto101 I'm with you there, man. 'Morningrise' is magical - my favourite Opeth album by far. One of my goals is to complete a full album cover one day.

I don't see either as disjointed, but I listen to so much progressive rock and metal that I'm pretty used to it by now

@@pablo-arteaga That's a problem with 'progressive' music. Some bands see it as a license to haphazardly string together unrelated (or poorly-linked) ideas so they don't have to put in the effort to make a cohesive narrative. I _love_ progressive Rock and Metal. When I listen to an album, it's typically the longest song that I go to first. With that in mind, I can recognise when an epic is a genuinely well-thought-out composition - a coherent journey that is elevated by each distinct but related section - and when it's a cobbled-together mess. This is the latter.

@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers I've heard cobbled-together messes. This flows pretty naturally IMO.

+ryshenton Thinking from the genre and style of music they do, im glad they dont go for social commentaries there are a lot of other bands that do that and with style of music that suits better.... Opeth is like very medieval dark thing... i prefer Rage against to complain about society. To be sincerely to the core i think they say more trough their music that from their lyrics... wich are also great but the music is what makes em what they are

Have you heard the tune "The Lines In My Hand" from this album? It's a pretty biting social comment. Mikael does do it; you just have to look. If Opeth were a window, it'd be virtually opaque. You have to look hard, but there's FATHOMS of depth. This song is very, deeply personal, as are a lot of what he does.

Opeth have NEVER been about 'Evil' or 'Satan'. It's just DARK. Unrelentingly bleak and miserable. Songs of loss, grief, depression, betrayal and scepticism. Broken-heartedness. I've always felt that Mikael is trying to 'heal' himself with his music, like he pours all his negativity into it, so that his 'regular' life is more upbeat. This song is an absolute soul-cleaver, a deeply-personal recount of 'someone' he had lost in a bad way. It is not meant to be ironic. Opeth/Mikael do have a deep-seeded dislike of religion, particularly the Christian churches, but that doesn't make you a Satanist. It just means you have a heart, and a working brain. As for the artwork, another commenter above nailed it pretty much spot-on. Opeth's philosophy can be simply understood by the 3 'Fundamental Truths' written on the artwork for Pale Communion... the Internet will translate for you if you don't read Latin. Hope this helps.

@@Sunke89 RATM's lyrics are kinda cringe tbh

I'm so glad Mikael doesn't write lyrics with explicit social commentary. That sort of stuff often turns out extremely cringeworthy.

+fleaSP, +Carla Vergara R. Did you listen to 'Pale communion'? :D

Did you listen at all?

This album is boring to me, some really good ideas, yet boring.
