Ok, first off, Opeth are Swedish, not Norwegian. Secondly, they did a cover of Iron Maiden's 'Remember Tomorrow', not 'Running Free', and thirdly, you're all stupid. kthxbye.
Shh.

Actually, Opeth is pronounced O-pth. Not with the "e". Don't believe me? Go see them live, and listebn to them say Opeth.

An absolutely terrific progressive death metal band from Sweden, who lump together long, acoustic interludes, with long bouts of dynamic, layered guitar, so heavy and simultaneously intricate that it's immediately orgasm-inducing. Also a wonderful live band, who are probably a little too self-depriciative on stage with their humble attitudes, but play and sing all of their songs perfectly. Too often, though, their drummer flies home in mid-tour to suck his mother's tit, and they're forced to find an emergency replacement. Each song stands alone as a heart-touching story of death and sorrow, which are woven together to create each album, which is called an "observation." Mikael (vocalist) and Peter (guitarist) are sexier than sin, and should be allowed to play naked, lying down, and covered with Lubriderm body lotion under dark candlelight.

Opeth is the best band ever thrown in to this godforsaken earth, their music is insparational and... just kickass. Although in Flames is alright they're still within no comparison of Opeth andd there for shoulden't be in the same sentence unless saying "Opeth owns inflames" etc etc.
Opeth rules all.

All of you who are comparing Opeth to acts like Korn and Slipknot are just being idiots and need to open up your tastes. Neither band has called themselves Death Metal, or Black Metal, or Progressive Metal, or compared themselves to Opeth, and you really shouldn't either. Retards.
That being said, Opeth is a very good band, even though I've only heard one of their albums. They're not the best band in the world but they do come close and have a lot of talent.

Opeth was formed in Sweden by Lindgren and Åkerfeldt, bla bla bla.

1: I opeth-owned my test!!
2: How?
1: I snuck a camoflauge barrier into the exam hall, and covering myself with it, I used a high-pressure hose to suck out all the snot in my nose. I then used a catapult made of rat-corpses to fling all the mucus at the examiner's eyes. Whilst he was still fumbling around to try and get the snot out of his eyes, I checked all the answers.
