Yes, he knew exactly where to put his voice. I'll admit that the track I enjoy the most is "Forest of October" where there are these epic guitar riffs and solos and they don't go too long, not to mention the sections where Mikael does those powerful roars, that's right when the entire musical level of Opeth shines at its maximum splendor. On the one hand, the thunderous piano of the first track mentioned above gives drama to this work and, on the other hand, there are the guitars in "Requiem" that placidly predict how the end is approaching. I can affirm that "Silhouette" and "Requiem" have their reason for being, they are not about filler put there to give the album even more adornment. I didn't mention it in previous reviews but Katatonia's Dance of Decembers Souls is another one of those records etched in my soul. In fact the style of composition in the guitar melodies are quite similar to Katatonia, which doesn't surprise me and partly makes me enjoy it even more. As in the second song "Under the Weeping Moon" there is a soft beginning but with a quite intriguing riff, which then evolves into a devastating and emotional sound. Repeated riffs, not so derivative structure, pauses with acoustic or slow sections to add melancholy or more substance to the song. N addition to that in this work you can already see the first characteristic touches of this band. They don't get too long, they don't get boring because the construction of riffs and melodies is very good, not to mention the attention they add after the intro of each song.

"In Mist Ella She Was Standing" shows her strength with an epic and powerful riff that continues to evolve.

I dare say that even in modern times, it still looks like an incredible introduction to their history, a debut album that put them on the map as a legendary band. Sign up below for updates, and be the first to know about it.May 15, 1995, was the day that Opeth came out with their first work called Orchid. And it’s why I am building something new. It’s why I brought to so many of you around the world. It’s why I created the world's first social network when I was a grad student at Stanford. I believe that the world is a better place when we get to know each other a little bit more. I believe in the power of connection to change the world. I want to help you do that with all my heart. I want you to be able to make connections that stick. I want you to be able to be your true self, online and off. The best social network is the one that enriches your life but that doesn’t manipulate it. They should give us hope, not fear and anxiety. They should protect our data, not sell it. Our online tools should serve us, not divide us. I’ve always believed that a friendship is more than a friend request, and I have dedicated my life to helping millions of you build authentic connections with your neighbors, family members, employees and the beautiful strangers who come into your lives. There is so much hate online these days, and our options for finding and building real connections are few and far between. The world needs kindness now more than ever. We worked hard to make a community where you could go meet real people who shared your interests, not just people who liked and commented on your photos.

We worked hard to make a community where hate and disinformation were not tolerated. I believe that found a community because it brought so many diverse voices from around the world together in one place. In just a few years, that social network - grew to a community of over 300 million people. Seventeen years ago I started a little social network while I was an engineer at Google.
