I've been a big fan for more than 5 years. I'm 54 years old and still a major metalhead. I took my wife, my brother(who is 47 and still stuck in the 60's and 70's) and his wife to the show at the House of Blues in Chicago. It was the first time I saw them live and we were all thoroughly amazed by the band and the music. They were everything I expected and more. I' ve been telling everybody that these guys are without a doubt the best band nobody has heard of. I figure all that will change soon. I love their melodies as well as the way they bang. The changes they put you through even within a single song are are without equal. One moment I hear shades of King Crimson and Greg Lake and the next moment I have to peel myself off the wall from the force of their power chords. Opeth, you are the best band out there. Keep up the great work and you can bet this crusty old metalhead will keep on listening. Love you guys!!!
