Opeth performing Face Of Melinda, live at Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 16 December 2011
Opeth is a progressive metal band from Sweden that is influenced by many diverse musical styles ranging from jazz, 1970s progressive rock, death metal, and blues. Their recent releases have deviated from their traditional death metal influenced style, with more emphasis on progressive elements. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is also noted for utilizing both clean singing and death growls, often in the same track. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, Opeth are often classified separately from more typical death metal acts. The name Opeth was taken from Wilbur Smith's novel Sunbird and derived from Opet, a city of the moon named in the novel.
Opeth was formed in Stockholm, Södermanland, Sweden in 1990 by David Isberg. Isberg invited Mikael Åkerfeldt to join the band at a practice session as a bass player, but failed to inform the current bass player or any of the other members of the band. Because of this, all band members except for Isberg quit, and Åkerfeldt soon joined Opeth after his band, Eruption, faltered. With Åkerfeldt on guitar and David Isberg on vocals, Opeth still lacked members and needing more, they were soon joined by long-time friend of Åkerfeldt and former Eruption drummer Anders Nordin and Nick Döring on bass. Andreas Dimeo was recruited as a second guitarist.

Steven Barry moshing is fun as fuck but for me Opeth is one of those bands that u go to see solely for the music and not rlly to get the adrenaline flowing and go ham on some drunk doods
i wish to forget all their music just so i can discover it again and listen for the first time
"Hope you recognize this one." And then *not* starting the actual song until at 0:42 -- Oh Mike, you sneaky fella! :)
Damn that riff at 5:12 is so good.
I can never get tired of that song since it pretty much represents what I am currently living in life. Fell in love a little bit too quick with a girl. She's beautiful and all, you desperately want that girl, but you feel like you might not be able to get her. You also feel like she might not be the adequate one for you. But in the end it's hard to just forget since you care and give a lot of attention for her. Yeah this song pretty much says it all. And the ending riff. That riff is pretty much saying: so far in that relationship, there have been some struggles. But at least in the end, there were some beautiful moments that you will always remember. Face of Melinda is such a beautiful song and that song is proof that sometimes the best metal songs aren't necessarily the heaviest ones.

You clearly have never looked up what the song is about. But everyone can have their own interpretation of a song. It is a beautiful song none the less. The song is far more heart wrenching than a girl that simply does not want to be with a guy and he fell in love to fast.
Outro is one of the best moments in Opeth history.
Roadie: "How many noise gates and compressors should I put in front of the signal?" Opeth lead guitarist: "Yes!"
One of the few bands that sound just as good live as they do in the studio.

Just coming back from the show in Montreal . Every time is see them live it feels like it's the best show I've ever seen . And I've seen many bands .
This song is an ode to those lost lovers/friends/favourite people we meet in our lives and then after some good times together, we separate. Many of us often ' still plot to have her/him back', some of us suceed, some of us fail but the memories with that person remain etched in our hearts forever.

Adam ___ I can't blame you Adam! Foo Fighters are mediocre at best. Sure they are decent musicians I suppose, but they don't even come close to Opeth when it comes to musical complexity and experimental beauty, Opeth's music is so much more interesting. With Foo fighters it's kinda just plain old bland rock with no keyboards or anything. Opeth for life!!

This is kinda where I’d wish mikael would take opeths music. There’s no growling there’s prog and there’s great melody. The riffs are awesome. The feel of this song is where it shines. That dark ethereal vibe is what I miss most about opeth. I miss the big riffs to. The aggression and deathy aspects were never the draw of opeth for me.

Opeth is amazing
I saw this song performed in Denver for this tour and I gained a new appreciation for it. I believe this version of the song is better than the studio version. The build up in this song was so awesome live... when it finally lets loose it sent chills up and down my spine. I always thought this song was OK, but after that LIVE performance I listen to it far more.

this song is a masterpiece. this entire album is a class apart imho. all of opeth's albums are great but this album being a "program music" endeavour in a death metal framework with .. influences from pretty much anything and everything thrown in there as well as performed this incredibly is just.. i dont know.. doesnt make sense to me. feels like something like this can only happen once in a generation cause everything needs to align for it to happen but ofcourse.. credit to akerfeldt. absolute genius.
best 90's band imo

The funny thing is when I first heard face of Melinda I was pretty “meh” on it, until that riff. Don’t get me wrong, the acoustic guitars i. The album version sound great, it it just didn’t reallly grab me for whatever reason, but I always loved that riff. Then I discovered the live performance they did on the Roundhouse tapes in which they play that riff even a little faster than they do here and now I can never go back to the album version, to me that performance on the roundhouse tapes is the best version of this song.

5 years late, but I think in the album version (when it gets to the 5:12 riff), either Lopez slightly drags the beat or Mikael is rushing the riff and it pisses me off. That's why I mostly listen to the Roundhouse Tapes version.
~Nice!¡!~

much better version than the Roundhouse Tapes one

Great show but tbh the sound is much better on the Roundhouse Tapes live show, the performance here I think though is better, just by a little. I think Fred's a much better player than the guy from before the Watershed.
drums are not loud enough compared to other instruments
I set the playback speed at x2 and i cant listen to it any other way now
