So I as an old Progger've kept ever before music, in which occurred just a grunt. Ok, there was one exception, namely the newer discs of Death. Not that you understand me wrong, when I rotate not only King Crimson and Gentle Giant. No, no prog metal stands with me at a premium and there also like to go fiercely to the point (for example, Pain of Salvation) but that also does not go. Then one day I came to a Compilaton Cd a pure prog-zines but actually Opeth in the CD player. Grunzerei ?? I could not believe my ears! But if one accepts this as a separate instrument come soundscapes to light that one is used only by a decent prog - to me wars happen, I had this drive - Ghost Reveries - have. And I must say: amazing. Madness. Opeth has become one of my favorite bands, I also worried me little by little the other outputs. The quiet places are somewhat reminiscent of the old prog heroes from the 70s, very cool! You can tell the (?) Is Mikael Åkerfeldt a fan of early Genesis. But nevertheless a completely own style, an indescribable atmosphere. And anyone who has seen the times Opeth live: All absolute professionals on their instruments, without rumzuposen.
For me, Ghost Reveries is the best disc of Opeth, although Deliverance for a time was once the number one.
I can every prog metallers recommend items, listen to Opeth and lay the prejudice against the grunts aside, it is really worth. In other bands can prejudice but confidently maintained (:
