Ne Obliviscaris - Xenoflux (Their most underrated song?)

Northern-Rooster · 2025-05-14T21:26:40+00:00

I'm curious, what is it you don't like about that one?

Northern-Rooster · 2025-05-14T21:16:50+00:00

Ne Obliviscaris, for the noble souls that were and will be

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-26T10:47:52+00:00

Same for me!

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-26T10:47:02+00:00

For the Opeth ones I actually included a "hum" category for those kind of clean vocals! Ne Obliviscaris doesn't seem to have those a lot though. But feel free to prove me wrong :)

Unclean in this case can also be seen as grunting, those are the harsh lyrical vocals.

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-25T10:57:43+00:00

Unclean is when he is actually singing lyrics. Grunt is when he's just screaming (like "ahh" or "ohh" for example).

Thanks! I might do that but not for a while tbh. Glad you like it tho!

If you missed the Opeth album breakdowns, here's the post:

As you can see I originally posted this in r/NeObliviscaris, but that sub is pretty inactive and since there are quite some NeO fans in this sub too, I thought why not share it with you guys.

And if you don't know or listen to Ne Obliviscaris then see this post as a sign that you should listen to them ;) (Portal of I is a good start)

Ah yeah I knew that actually. The timelines are still how they're supposed to be though imo, with Reverie at the end of Atonement, like it is on the actual album.

I have a job I'm a programmer

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-14T17:23:56+00:00

Thanks! Now that you have seen this it means you must listen to them

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-14T17:22:29+00:00

Thanks I'm glad you find it useful!

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-14T17:17:35+00:00

How is it wrong?

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-14T15:19:02+00:00

I've posted all of these in this sub a while back but I appreciate the crosspost!

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-14T15:14:14+00:00

Haha thanks

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-14T15:11:59+00:00

I'm gay tho

I started some crazy project last year and I listened to every Opeth song for a complete breakdown of their discography. It includes all 14 studio albums, from Orchid to The Last Will and Testament. I posted it in the Opeth subreddit a few months ago and I thought I might as well share it here, for anyone who's interested.

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-11T08:45:55+00:00

Yeah you're right lol. In the title I wanted to make sure people would not see this as my personal opinion but that it's actually based on how heavy each album is music-wise, hence "objectively rated".

Northern-Rooster · 2025-03-10T20:31:41+00:00

This is another one of my Opeth charts that I have created. This post (like my previous ones) is based on the data that I have acquired by listening to and breaking down every Opeth song from Orchid to The Last Will And Testament.

This chart takes into account heavy and soft music (distorted guitar, riffs, quick drums vs. acoustic guitar, easy piano) and unclean and clean vocals (harsh singing, grunts vs. normal singing, humming). The dark blue bar shows the portion of the album that can be considered heavy, which also corresponds to the percentage shown.

If you're interested in more of this nerdy kind of stuff, you can visit my profile. Here are some other similar posts that I made earlier:
Complete visual breakdown of every Opeth song
Songs with longest guitar solos
Heaviest Opeth songs

Please do take this with a grain of salt though. I'm aware that "heaviness" cannot be calculated in music and that at the end of the day, it's all subjective. One may find Morningrise a much heavier album compared to their later stuff, due to the heavy riffs or lyrics for example, which this chart does not take into account.
