Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Guitar FrE@k Average	#1 by Guitar FrE@k Freak at Nov 5, 1970 at 2:06 PM EST
	This is my one of my 3 favourite tracks by opeth - Benighted, Moonlapse Vertigo and Face of Melinda, on by far my favourite album, Still Life. Apart from the amazing music, the best part about the album is the story - about someone cast out from a certain place and returning for Melinda. Apparantly the album wasnt meant to be anti-religious, but the whole album seems to be about challenging faith to me: "Saw you benighted by your fright" is about letting fears control beliefs, and "You are flawed as all of us" about beliefs protecting her from realising her weaknesses, and in turn taking responsibility for her mistakes. He is asking her to challenger her faith.

No Picture Eric Average	#2 by Eric Phillips at Nov 5, 1980 at 12:33 PM EST
	No, just progressive death. It's not black metal, though black metal can be given to a pretty wide range of bands (everything from Cradle Of Filth and Emperor to Katatonia and Vintersorg).

No Picture MysticCat Wanna Be	#3 by MysticCat (Janis johnny Udodovs) at Dec 6, 1981 at 4:36 AM EST
	youre all wrong! progressive DOOM metal and a touch of death..

No Picture duncan_player Wanna Be	#4 by duncan_player at Dec 27, 1999 at 3:12 PM EST
	Anyway, this song is from the Still Life concept album, and is basically the priests from the church asking the main character (or possibly his fiance) why they lost their faith, and telling them that it's not too late to repent.

No Picture ¿Josh Rhythm Player	#5 by ¿Josh Kirkpatrick? at Jan 5, 2000 at 1:41 PM EST
	Yeah, now that I think about it, I think it's the main character trying to convince his beloved to forget her religion.

No Picture More Cowbell Lead Player	#6 by More Cowbell at Jun 22, 2000 at 9:48 AM EST
	why does every opeth forum alway end up with people arguing over genres who gives a fuck what it is...(melodic death scandinavian folk metal)
