Opeth - Windowpane Live

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 7 years 2 months 2 weeks ago

Opeth started out rooted in Scandinavian death metal, but later delved deep into experimentation, having since incorporated influences from jazz, progressive rock, blues, and folk crossing genre borders to create a unique blend of musical styles.

Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconds of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night
Might be waiting for someone
Might be there for us to see
Might be in need of talking
Might be staring directly at me
Inside plays a lullaby
Slurred voice over children cries
On the inside

Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering secret scars
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned

There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reasons inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the last

I personally much prefer this side of Opeth rather than the Melodic Death Metal side, but all around a great band.

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 4 days.

I wouldn't say Opeth "started out in death metal" since that kind of insinuates that they left death metal behind for this prog style, while they are still very much death metal. This is my fav off Damnation by far.

For anyone who digs this and not death metal, check out Opeth's album Damnation, which is all clean-vocal proggy stuff like this. Or perhaps a couple of my favorite slow jams 'Face of Melinda', 'Benighted', or 'Harvest'.

I saw them live in concert on the Damnation tour, it was simply amazing. They played Demon of the fall for the encore. It brought down the house.
