New single sounds all right, yes not to bad at all, I'm going to get my ticket for the tour.

yes, its nice someone can make commercially viable metal (metalcore) without doing those horrible effeminate emo vocals. Talented to.

Should I go to an Opeth or Parkway Drive concert if I can only choose one?

Pandora keeps trying to shove this band down my throat. Finally had to start giving every tune of theirs a thumbs down. Not because they're awful but was tired of hearing them multiple times an hour.

Parkway Drive is just mediocre. Nothing to write home about and definitely not a band I'll keep track of or follow. They're better than a lot of metal bands out there but just doesn't have that X factor to make them stand out from the pack.

Opeth for sure.

I can dig Parkway Drive, but after a few songs they all start to run together and I get the urge to listen to better metalcore.

Batlord, you don't like Opeth?

The Batlord · 11-21-2015, 10:55 PM

Not really, no. They sound like a boring band who have two speeds: occasionally good death metal (though Mikael Akerfeldt is a pretty damn good DM vocalist) and boring prog, which they jam together as if you can just haphazardly jam death metal and prog together. I'd rather listen to Cynic or Edge of Sanity, who Opeth are basically just ripping off.

And if you want to hear Mikael Akerfeldt's DM vocals used as they should be...

I've never been a big Opeth fan either, my fiancee used to love Opeth until their last 2 albums where evidently they (according to her, since I've never heard either of them) are trying to be some 70's Prog. Rock, King Crimson ripoff band.

As for the OT, Parkway Drive is a fun band if you take them for what they are, a basic Metalcore band, which there's nothing wrong with that if you don't expect anything more than that from them.

Killing With a Smile is still one of my favorites of the genre, their album Atlas was also very nice.

I missed the Parkway Drive show unfortunately. My job pretty much has me working round the clock, and it was on a weekday....so no go.

I'm kind of curious about Opeth though. There albums are often hailed by critics as metal masterpieces, but I've never actually bothered to sit down and put in quality time listening to their music.
