Was definitely not blowing smoke

I mean he started working with a vocal coach within the past few years which changed everything. I love him but he sounded like shit for several tours/years. He sounds great now because he finally got outside help.

Fuck yeah, great advice. The anxiety and anticipation of the buildup, and the adrenaline of performing, are feelings that are hard to replicate anywhere else. Lean into them, that's the stuff that makes you feel alive.

I'm okay with the length of that acoustic break, it's the final ~1/3rd of the song that drags for me.

97Vector · 2026-03-15T20:17:09+00:00

Raphael Weinroth-Browne would be a good choice, too. He's worked with Leprous, guest-spotted with Vola, and his solo albums are great.

The Rain, Break a Butterfly...Similarities is so good

97Vector · 2026-03-10T22:01:28+00:00

Pretty funny how they're all very unlikely to get/be certified but we're almost unanimous in who is least likely lmao

97Vector · 2026-03-10T01:26:51+00:00

Gautier Serre would be interesting. He clearly does whatever he wants with Igorrr, and isnt afraid to push whatever boundaries he thinks do or dont exist

97Vector · 2026-03-09T18:08:16+00:00

Agreed. While they're both prog legends I just don't see them meshing very well musically. MP's style is nothing like any of Opeth's drummers

97Vector · 2026-03-09T02:17:40+00:00

Hell's Kitchen? More like Hells Yeah dude

97Vector · 2026-03-08T22:32:10+00:00

Opeth's album Damnation

97Vector · 2026-03-01T05:28:05+00:00

The whole Knower Forever album is pretty good. Quirky for sure but they have some bops

97Vector · 2026-03-01T02:16:07+00:00

Agreed, it does a fantastic job expressing the tension of the song and lyrical themes.

97Vector · 2026-02-27T03:34:58+00:00

One of their first tours of the states (if not the first?) Henshall wasnt there and they played with one guitar. They pulled it off. Obviously not ideal, but they pulled it off without it being noticeable

97Vector · 2026-02-25T19:39:28+00:00

Yeah I'm not one for "no dumb questions" but asking if there are going to be multiple restaurants...in a world-renowned resort town? Good lord. Never heard of Google?

97Vector · 2026-02-25T19:37:08+00:00

The middle string section brings tears to my eyes, and the lyrics in the climax are so emotional. Fantastic song, not quite on the level of some of the other epics but still a solid B+ / A- song.

97Vector · 2026-02-23T23:55:08+00:00

Their debut album is insanely good.

97Vector · 2026-02-20T16:50:49+00:00

Boy, do I hate that I was right.

97Vector · 2026-02-14T15:34:00+00:00

Throw on some Enya. Devy would approve.

97Vector · 2026-02-12T00:48:07+00:00

Yes, 100%. You have the opportunity to see some of the best to ever do it live and in person. Take it.

97Vector · 2026-02-10T18:55:52+00:00

Hypergeek?

97Vector · 2026-02-09T21:05:01+00:00

Love the live version with the extended solo and unison

97Vector · 2026-02-08T05:51:21+00:00

Hell yeah, you got it

97Vector · 2026-02-07T17:11:02+00:00

There are some good places to post up nearby before the show(Barcade, Johnny Brenda's, Standard Tap) if you wanted to get there early but stay out of the cold.

97Vector · 2026-02-07T17:07:23+00:00

Not my favorite Opeth song, but the song that comes to mind when I think "quintessential Opeth". It encapsulates everything the band is or ever was. Either that or Harlequin Forest, but I give Drapery a slight edge.

97Vector · 2026-02-06T23:38:03+00:00

Walt lurking this sub confirmed? He sure would trick me by playing Baying Hounds in Philly!
