The greatest band ever. Swedish Progressive Black Melodic Death Metal. Ten times better than In Flames, and Sum41 isn't even a band in comparison. Matter of fact the name "Sum41" doesn't even belong on the same page as "Opeth." BLASPHEMERS!
The Moor is good but it'd be better if that and Godhead's Lament were one song so I could actually say Opeth have a best song!

Name of swedish death metal band taken from Wilbur Smith's novel, "Sunbird" where Opet is the name of the city of the moon.

Opeth are the best band ever to have graced the earth with their presence!!!!!!

Opeth are AMAZING!
They have a special 'o' which rocks!
\m/ Total Necro Dude! \m/
The BEST Opeth songs are:
Demon of the fall
Death whispered a lullaby
In mist she was standing
Under the weeping moon
The moor
In my time of need
To bid you farewell

FUCK IN FLAMES! In Flames suck. Opeth are, without a doubt, the most original metal bands out there, but unfortunately most of the Opeth fans who have posted thus far are really just nu-metal kids who like sum41 and In Flames. Opeth plays complex music and the average song is 10+ minutes long. They don't have stupid lyrics and don't complain like the angry teenagers playing in nu-metal bands do. Opeth play a combination of doom, death, progressive, gothic, jazz, and folk.
Listen to Morningrise, My Arms Your Hearse, and Blackwater Park. Truely genius.
