I don't think I've ever been as deeply affected by any band as much as Opeth. Love them. Most amazing thing about them is how huge they sound. They're like the Beethoven of rock music. I listen to an Opeth album, and then I can't listen to anything else for hours, because it will just sound tiny and insignificant by comparison.
As for favorite album, it's always been the first one, Orchid. Although Still Life and My Arms Your Hearse are still both in my top 20 albums.
Favorite song...three way tie between Face of Melinda, Dirge For November and Black Rose Immortal (obviously). But I'd probably say Face of Melinda tips it slightly, but only because hearing the band play that live was just awe-inspiring.
Lyrics would be Face of Melinda again, it sounds like some kind of lost Shakespearian love poem.
Good call Al 👆
New album this year allegedly.
They are definately one of the few bands I'd put directly next to Tool. Absolutely love their music. I can't really pick a fav song but at the moment I'm really into Godhead's Lament. Just for how melodically perfect the chorus is, so epic. Although I love the guitar on Serenity Painted Death.
As you can tell that's my fav album by them.

My personal Favorite is "Forest of October" off Orchid
I apologise for my rockingly contagious musical taste 😮
I haven't listened to them for like two months now, I'm Opeth fasting. Give it two more weeks and I should be ready to have another religious experience in a darkened room with Orchid, a bean bag and a sweet, sweet herb-like substance.
