Its there first two albums, and this is when there still developing there sounds so its much more demonic with a slight "calm before the storm" kind of medelys. TBH I have been so in love with Blackwater Park, Still Life, My Arms Your Hearse, Damnation and Ghost reveries that I haven't checked out much of the other albums. Also I've heard (offhandedly) that they weren't as good as the above. Any suggestions on where to start? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Its more straight forward style rather than the progressive aspect that they posess now. Its a matter of what you like and don't. Not many Opeth fans like the first two since its more death metal but I like it more. Here is Under The Weeping Moon, my favorite Opeth track http://youtube.com/watch?v=R4JhSkUJMMY Forest Of October part 1 and 2 http://youtube.com/watch?v=WIt_CsSARKk&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=8M0zHT-_AZM&feature=related Silhouette played by there ex-drummer Anders Nordin.

The thing about Orchid and Morningrise (for me) is that they are so.. dreamlike and beautiful. Allthough, I can't agree with VinceG that they are more death metal than the other records, I look at them as (good) melodic death metal, and while I'm glad they evolved from that, I love those records aswell. So yeah, give them a listen, and start with orchid, then go to morningrise, as I find Orchid better, since there is something about morningrise.. All the songs on morningrise are awesome, but theres something that sets me of with the album as a whole, maybe it's the production, I don't know..

The moor is an amazing song but it has growling in it. Benighted and face of melinda don't. Benighted has an awesome Jazzy solo. Face of melinda has a beautiful acoustic melody, and then at the end it gets really heavy but no growling. I love the part in the moor at 7:21, the solo/lead thing is a great melody So fret have you listened any? My favourite Opeth record is Still Life aswell!! My favourite track is definitely Serenity Painted Death, I can't get enough of the riff at the beginning You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I love the part about a minute and a half in where it changes and he growls "white face, haggard grin, this serenity painted death".. omg its just so sick and the riff behind it is too cool You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
