You should do a reaction to Ne Obliviscaris! Two songs I recommend are: 1. Devour Me, Colossus (Part I): Blackholes 2. Forget Not They are amazing and a bit unusual as they incorporate things like black metal and violin into their compositions. Also, they kick ass live! I saw them couple years ago, and they sounded exactly like in their albums. Anyway, thanks for the content!

Martin is double pedaling but instead of the double bass with individual pedals setup, he uses a more compact twin pedal setup. A drummer's personal style of playing and preference (with slight differences [w/o accounting the dimension/type of wood/what kind of skin, etc.] in the bass drum tone) but the effect intended remains, pure fluid heart-thumping double bass.

Personally, I would always recommend listening to studio tracks for Opeth because a lot of the incredible production is lost in their live performances imo. That said, having been fortunate enough to see them live a lot of times over the years, the live highlight is that Mikael is absolutely hilarious in between songs. 50% stand-up comedian for sure.

Back in the day on the (now defunct) Opeth forum there was a discussion whether or not Ghost Reveries is still a concept album or not and what the story is or was intended to be. Mikael says its not a concept album, so it isn't. But still, the lyrics are pretty open to interpretation so everybody can piece together a story from the songs as they like. I didn't really think long about it but from just a superficial impression of the lyrics imo the story is from the viewpoint of a son whose mother dies. He may or may not have something to do with her death, it might be that the mother was somehow possessed, but now the son is battling his own demons, becoming more and more depressed and desperate and finally going about to summon the devil himself, maybe to confront him, maybe to demand the soul of his mother back, maybe to let the devil loose on the world in an act of revenge. Then there is the last track, "Isolation Years". Mikael said it was the song for which he gave up the concept because it didn't fit but he wanted it on the album anyways. Still, I like to think that Isolation Years reveals that after all it was the son that died after a descending into madness and the mother actually never died but mourns the death of her son forever after.

Great track, and Ghost Reveries is a terrific album. I can't choose between it and Blackwater Park as my favourite, so I don't. As for the lyrics and song titles, I tend not to dwell on them overmuch. On the Roundhouse Tapes live album and DVD, Mikael mentions the lyrics to one song as being the 'usual black-metal nonsense'. I like all that Gothic doom and gloom, being a devotee of Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories, but I don't take it seriously: it's all for entertainment purposes.

The chord progressions are VERY rooted in D because Michael had tuned his guitar to Open Dmadd9 (D-A-E-F-A-E) to experiment with alternate tunings while writing this album. Åkerfeldt differs from many extreme metal guitarists in that he _mainly_ sticks to E Standard instead of downtuning his guitar to for example C or B Standard. Some of the songs on Ghost Reveries are played with guitars tuned E standard and some with the Open Dmadd9.
