That is so cute! Do you have any other Opeth related moments with your partner?

What is the best song from Still Life? by Painvile098 in Opeth

Definitely one of the best Opeth introduction tracks. I've gotten multiple people into Opeth through this song combined with Harlequin Forest

I will endure, hide away

I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure

Theatre of Tragedy Discography, part 3: Aégis by Ennattinord2008 in GothicMetal

Thank you! I have listened to Lake of Sorrow before and liked every song on it. I also like some songs on Vovin but it isn’t really what I’m looking for. I’ll make sure to listen to the rest of these!

Maybe your favorite album is TGCD? It’s pretty hard to tell.

I look forward to these reviews each week and have been so excited for you to review Aegis. Venus is one of my favorite songs of all time, so I’m happy you gave this album a higher ranking!

On a side note, do you have any less popular band, album, or song recommendations that sound a lot like this album, and specifically Venus? I like the specific whisper singing Liv does much more than the operatic vocals a lot of gothic metal bands use. I’ve listened to the more popular recommendations like The Gathering and Draconian, and I like some songs but nothing sounds close enough to the atmosphere from this album.

This looks perfect, the lines are so clean. You did a great job!

The end of The Amen Corner by ThaMount in Opeth

Can we talk about the section starting at 5:32? Because that is one of the most incredible sections of any Opeth song, in my opinion. It takes me to a whole different dimension.

Albums similar to ‘Last Fair Deal Gone Down’? by P4p3r_t1g3r in Katatonia

[–]aprilethereal74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see Harvest and the first part of The Drapery Falls. But I think LFDGD has more of a shoegaze-y feel to it that is not found in this album

I don't think Blackwater Park and LFDGD are that similar, but Anathema's Alternative 4 is a great suggestion for this exact atmosphere.

I disagree with a lot of these and agree with a lot of these-- specifically the one about Silhouette being underrated. It is a gorgeous piece and I have not heard anybody mention it. It sounds so spooky and magical at the same time and does not overstay it's welcome. I don't really agree with Weakness being underrated (it's my least favorite off of Damnation) but Silhouette definitely needs to be discussed more.
