Only to name a few. Åkerfeldt really digs deep into different genres. He even said that Abba was an influence before lol. Heritage was influenced by Swedish folk music for example. Compare the song Heritage to a Jan Johansson song, like Visa från Utanmyra. There are influences from everywhere really.

Funny, when i hear their music none of those bands come to mind. I would say i hear a lot of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd, among others. Perhaps Camel, yes. Go figure...

@@Capitaomac1 Yeah, he has praised those bands a lot too. Judas Priest also. Faith in Others sounds similar to Dogs by Pink Floyd at times.

@@Capitaomac1 maybe the newest records are influenced by those bands, i won't argue that. But Bathory influence can be heard in the first two albums and Mikael's deep but intelligeble growl is reminescent of David Vincent

The snare sound term you're looking for is called a rim click or, more commonly, a cross-stick.

That bass is so sexy. This is the song that got me into Opeth, such great harmonies and melody.

Damn i miss the old Opeth, they were so great.

This album is from 1996, and here you can already see The style of the band where it was going, its particular style to compose songs and mix acoustic and metal guitars, these were the beginnings, and from there, they continued with their formula, for something they they're unique, Greeting from Chile🍺🍺🍺🍺🇨🇱✨✨🔥🔥

Yeah when I first got into Opeth, this song blew me away and to think it was written on their sophomore album back in 1996!

Opeth is something special, albeit not for everyone, but those who get it thrive, great review, love you guys~Kudos!!!!

BLACKWATER PARK next plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This song is a timeless masterpiece, a riff city of nasty sinister riffs and outstanding vocal performance

One of my favorites from Opeth, nice. The best thing was learning it on the bass.

Fretless bass, too!

Opeths guitar skillzzzz rule ultraviolet metal sub zero lady. So classical and groovy yet southern and melodically dark. Like a peaceful soulful melody of emotional tragic poetry. Check out by the pain I see in others and the baying of the hounds by them. Proud of you and love your brutal passion and connection like mine.

Opeth is the influence :D

Mike Akerfeld has said he was influenced by 70’s prog as well as Sabbath, Zeppelin...

This is my favorite song of all time. All the big feelings. I need to do acid alone in the desert listen to this and sob

I absolutely love this song

They are influenced by many things, not just metal or rock. ABBA.. for an example... is one those countless influences.

I am so happy you guys did an Opeth song! If you like this you should try their album Blackwater Park. Happy Greetings from the Netherlands!

Badass bass!!

My favorite Opeth song and this is very hard thing to say !!

Glad to see you doing a studio track. Live stuff is great too but sometimes it's better just to concentrate only on the song itself

U will not find a band like opeth and do with music what they do

That sound is the drumstick on the side of the snare

I recommend something off their first album. Try "The Apostle In Triumph", by Opeth.

I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain the "different snare sound" y'all are referring to is made by drumming a wooden castanet like thing on the drum kit. I don't know what they're properly called, but if you listen close there are a few times where it's struck twice more quickly and that makes me think he's hitting something wooden added to the kit for this song.

This song makes me cry it is beautiful

Every teardrop is for you…

Symphony X - Iconoclast !

MOAR OPETH PLEEEEEAAZ

Opeth is the shit!!!! Thanks for this reaction.

You guys should react to "black rose immortal" its a song of this same album from opeth!!

Mikael wanted from the start of the band to mix death metal with 70's prog rock since he like both. He has probably been influenced by a lot of obscure 70s and 60s prog, but I know Camel and King Crimson are inspiring his craft

Guys, you need to, and I cannot stress this enough, YOU NEED TO REACT TO BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL! It's the greatest song Opeth has ever made, and it's from the same album as this one

The devil in i by Slipknot Thank you pain by the agonist We Will rise by arch enemy Decency defied by cannible corpse Raise your horns by Amon amarth

Opeth are influenced by the early Death- and Black metal bands from the late 80s/early 90s (like Bathory, Death, Morbid Angel) aswell as many different Prog-Rock bands from the late 60's and 70s (King Crimson, Camel et etc)

check katatonia early works and you'll find influences

Y’all should check out Make Me Famous- Blind Date 101

Nice reaction, guys! Can you please react to W. Angel's Conquest - I'm Flying Back? I think, you gonna like this one)

It's very folksy floydy stuff I think but they keep some of their death metal roots... it's almost like this track uses music to tell a story with the different highs and lows 😎

I would love if you listend to the song “what are we making weapons for” by John Denver and Aleksander Gradsky. Sounds like a hippy song but it’s not it’s pretty amazing. It changed the Cold War in some ways.

Opeth is classical music for metal... i.m.o.

Review porcelain heart by opeth one of my favorite songs ever🤘🤘🤘

They've mostly been influenced by 70s prog rock like Rush, Pink Floyd, etc... And classic death/black metal bands like Morbid Angel, Dismember, Bathory, and Celtic Frost

Unusual seeing this song in a reaction I think I have only seen this song done once. Not my favorite song or album from them too much minstrel sounding songs for me except for Silent water.

Love this song, and Night and the silent water (especially the whisper towards the end) is another gem off that album.

Opeth can not be put in a box of a music genre.....

Yeah kinda like Tool. They are both a genre of thier own. Not a single other band to me at least sounds like either Tool or Opeth. Yes they are 2 of my top 5 bands of all time so I might be a bit biased lol

prog rock of 60s

Akerfeldt has said two of his favorite albums are The Zombies - Odyssey and Oracle and Stevie Wonder - Innervisions The latter of which he said he listens to in the studio for inspiration... He's also admitted to really liking Kiss - The Elder album alot as well...

its a rimshot ya flog i thought youre in a band????

Chill song but Mikael didn't have the clean vocal chops yet when this was recorded and the song feels more like Mikael going "I want to do a song that sounds like (insert 70'ies prog band-name here)" than creating something new. This was still very very early days of the band and Mikaels writing would only become better and better after this album. I remember hearing an interview with Mikael (who hates the productions and sound on this album) that after they had recorded Orchid they went into the studio for this album and were very pretentious about it (he brought a lute to the studio). This album is probably the least liked among their old stuff. It was also the first album of theirs I bought.
