queenofthedepths Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm just listening to their latest album, the_Ascension, and the bass lines are much more prominent and interesting than the older stuff, so I wondered if they had a new bassist... off I go to Wikipedia, and apparently the bassist is a founding member and also writes all of the music! Not sure what to make of that, but it's damned cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaundixon666 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) I thought you had misspelled Opeth for a second there (silly me) but then off I went to youtube to have a listen. And damn you are right. There is something about a woman that can growl like that, that makes me go weak at the knees. :wub: Wow the bass line at 1:31 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acc8HrxzXW0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acc8HrxzXW0[/url] Thank you for pointing out such a cool band, I am now currently listening to everyone of their songs I can find Got any particular song/album you recommend?

Faithless Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I strongly don't think, that the man misspelled the name... Because latest Opeth's work is called Watershed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Nah - Otep's a different band - not very Swedish or proggy! I saw them at Ozzfest in 2002, liked them enough to get their album & EP. Otep Shamaya's a pretty impressive frontwoman. Good to know they're still going, haven't checked out the new stuff yet, I'm assuming it's a bit different - their older material was good, but pretty much of its era. Jon.

bassbloke Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I much preferred the uber heavy bass tone on Sevas Tra. I used to really like the band and Otep Shamaya is a great front woman -equal parts scary and gorgeous- but they don;t seem to have progressed one bit since 2002 when their debut album came out. This is more like it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0epEAyyzyyA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0epEAyyzyyA...feature=related[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
