Opeth......Revisited

Last night as i sat down to have whiskey with Sridhar, Opeth's Bleak was on. It was beautiful, very peaceful, blissful and i felt totally mystical. Opeth always get this feeling out of my, otherwise, monster like mentality :P . We sat in my room, with glasses in our hands, sipping away slowly, with a puff once in a while and listening to Opeth and the magic that Micheal Akerfeldt created. The tracks that followed were even better, Harvest, Dirge For November, and finally reaching the last track Blackwater Park. By the end of this album (Blackwater Park ) , I was in a total state of trance, lost in my own world , all alone surrounded by colourful psychedelia. I'd easily say Opeth is to Death Metal , what Pink Floyd was to Rock 'N Roll. All their songs have mellow verses, followed by heavy parts. Its as though my soul is reasoning out with me, when i listen to these amazing works of art. Yeah , art. Thats what i would call Opeth's music. Simple riffs, yet melodic to the highest level. Though, every musician doesnt show off their acme, they compose stuff which amazes me till date. I have never been bored by an Opeth song. Never skipped an Opeth song and never will. No amount of adulation can be enough to describe Opeth. I'd say load ur playlist with an Opeth album, switch off the lights in your room , lay back in ur bed, chair or wherever u feel is comfortable and listen. Come kill me if the music doesnt enthrall you. I'm ready to bet my life.
