Metal isn't go-

I'll go with other anons here and recommend Still Life. That's my favorite of their albums.

Excluding post-Watershed albums there isn't really an album of theirs I WOULDN'T recommend. But Still Life would be the best first shot.

The Moor got to be my favorite Opeth track.

Really good song, certainly.

It was Godhead's Lament which won me over. That's the song which got me into metal in general - before then I didn't really pay attention to the genre.

-od.

Still Life - Watershed era Opeth in general is like the most accessible extreme metal out there. The production is spot on, the clean passages act as a breather from the heavy shit, and even Mikael's growls are easy on the ears compared to other metal growls. It's not bad but you could take the most staunch anti-metal fan out there and it wouldn't surprise me that they were actually a closet fan of something like Blackwater Park or Damnation.

They usually gotta enjoy prog, too though. Someone who otherwise likes bangers will probably find At The Gates or In Flames far more accessible.

For whatever reason, Deliverance is the only one i can get into.

>not enjoying progrockpeth

Thats because deliverance and damnation are their best

Progpeth is kinda dull. It's not explicitly bad, just unexciting for the most part. I guess some of Pale Communion is slightly more alright than the others but it's not like I've listened to any of them more than 2 or 3 times.
