"I won’t get left behind
My overwhelming mind
The fence is up for reasons
I cannot share that side

Yes, I will pretend
I don’t need to love again
Again..."

I found these guys quite late, but still way before knowing much or truly appreciating most of the styles they were somehow including in their music, and still they quickly became one of my favourite bands.

It's been around 15 years since I know them. I've had enough time to delve into progressive rock, different flavours of metal, including the most brutal ones, which are part of their influences.

As I go farther, as my knowledge gets deeper and my appreciation of all these music styles grows, I can't avoid getting back to Opeth and rediscover again and again their already long and diverse journey.

This is their first one, and it is astonishing. It has aged better than most debut albums anywhere, and the more I listen from everything and everywhere, the more I appreciate this masterpiece.

It's diverse, brutal, eerie, atmospheric, beautiful.

Years passed, tastes evolved, sounds that once were there every day, now appear only occasionally.

Among those, however, there are a few that manage to blow my mind in the same way they used to.

"In these awful moments
There’s a brightness everywhere
Even in these awful moments
I feel it against my palm
I can feel your heart
Just underneath the way home..."

"No one, shall dig you up From the, depth of their thoughts As the years, will pass you on And your mortal brains and bones turn stone Nothing, shall reach your ears Far from, their clear blue tears As you lay, in slow decay But all love, from up above Still makes your heart just move, enough No one, shall dare to leave Fading, my legacy As the years, will pass me on I’ll be gone "

Porque não se ama quem não ouve a mesma canção...

Nem mesmo destroçado...



"Oh you're not leaving this wreck
We're both going down with it
Oh you're not leaving this wreck
We're both going down with it
Oh you're not leaving this wreck
I've got pills in my pocket"
