"Death to False Metal" iykyk

Endseeker - Coffin Born

The good men of Endseeker call it quits, however released an EP for a proper goodbye.

I always found the music very entertaining. From my point of view it's rooted in Swedish DM (Entombed), but they added their unique touch to it.

And they do crazy cover versions. 🙂

Sometimes my brain stubbornly suggests I dig deep in the crates for an old song I haven't listened to in years. These days it was "Reality - When you die" by GOREFEST.

A brooding, dynamic, versatile and for the time it was recorded a bit unusual death metal piece by this great Dutch group.

Patrick Walker, the founder and frontman of the band, has put out a lot of great work under the 40 Watt Sun band name in the interim, which is also worth checking out if you're into doom metal.

This song feels very summery to me.

The claim begins with the song The Grand Conjuration off of The Ghost Reveries record. This was a divisive song for Opeth fans.

The Grand Conjuration came out on July 26th, 2005. It was released as a single. The teaser track to the album Ghost Reveries. This was their first album with a major record label, Roadrunner records. This song and this record represented a major change in the band and it's members lives.

Peter Lindgren leaves Opeth in May 2007. He was quoted as saying "The reason behind this is that I feel that I simply have lost some of the enthusiasm and inspiration needed to participate in a band that has grown from a few guys playing the music we love to a worldwide industry. The love of music has always been, and still is, our motive, but I personally have lost something along the way. The massive amount of touring has taken its toll."

Watershed is released June 3rd, 2008. On it, the track "Porcelain Heart." A selection of lyrics from Porcelain Heart:

I lost all I had (That April day) / I turned to my friends (Nothing to say) / I wallowed in shame

I posit that Peter broke the news to Mikael in April, before departing officially in May.

I said that I love (Eternal schemes) / I clinged to my past / (Like childish dreams)

Icy roads beneath my feet / Led me through wastelands of deceit / ...Kept inside our idle race / Ghosts of an idol's false embrace

Peter's reasoning for leaving the band seems echoed in these line. Mikael wanted the rock-star dream. Peter’s statement reads like the cost of that dream: the band had become a “worldwide industry,” the touring machine had taken its toll, and the thing that began as friends playing music had become something Peter no longer recognized himself inside.

So why do I mention, specifically, The Grand Conjuration?

Well, Porcelain Heart seems to be its reprise. The main driving chord theme of the chorus in Grand Conjuration makes a very slightly altered appearance on their next (Peterless) record. As a Bridge/Outro.

The Grand Conjuration Main Chorus Chords Just listen til the repeat.

Porcelain Heart Bridge/Outro

I posit this music coincidence is not an accident. Mikael was as cryptically and as clearly as he could muster, saying "I am so sorry." to his best friend whom he drove away chasing his rockstar dreams.

Akerfeldt himself said that the contents of Watershed were very personal, and had to do with family and lineupchanges:

Akerfeldt on Watershed: "This one was all personal lyrics." He said it wasn't a concept record - the songs came out of what had happened in his life, namely becoming a father again and the lineup changes (i.e. Lopez and Peter leaving) source

For those that don't know, since leaving Opeth, Peter Lindgren has become the Vice President of King. They made Candy Crush. He's doing just great.
