The affect it can have is indescribable. two hours of Opeth and all that came to mind in english was "good gravy" |

Different strokes for different folks. 
I will say there's nothing like listening to or seeing a great band. It can be a seriously euphoric experience. |

Just listened to all of "Damnation" earlier this evening. Its obviously not the typical Opeth record but its still one of my all time favorite albums. Mendez plays some sparse but very tasty stuff on there |

I think Blackwater Park and the change of sound they had from that point was amazing though. Heavy as crap with brilliant chilled out moments. 2 hours is not long enough to admire their sexiness. =P

Before Opeth I was listening to pretty brutal death metal tunes most of the time, then Opeth came along and showed me that something can be beautiful and yet brutal at the same time. Best song? Deliverance. Fo sho.

Its also nice to be able to hear the bass at a metal show so props to Martin and their soundman. |

Which is a good thing IMO |

They are easily one of my favourite bands. Very talented musicians.
I always think of Mikael's voice as what Satan would sound like if he was in a band, but since he is Satan, he also has the voice of an angel.. haha |

Thats it for my name dropping, pathetic as it is.
"My arms, your hearse" FTW IMO YMMV ETC
