About This Track

The Moor is the first track on Opeth’s concept album Still Life and tells about a man who was shunned by his community. He was called an “ungodly freak - defiler”, and was “branded a Jonah with fevered blood”. He was beaten, burned, covered with mud, and banished from his town, returning 15 years later for his love Melinda, whom he had to leave behind when he was banished.

"Most avant-garde music is pretentious trash that's trying too hard to be experimental and new instead of actually making music." Can't tell if mad or troll.

@Sculpy, Scott Walker (see The Drift or Tilt), "There is nothing experimental or avant-garde about Opeth whatsoever." I agree on the avant-garde bit, but that's not the same as saying they're influenced by that stuff.

"Melinda is the reason why I cum..." Mikael, you sick bastard! For god dammit, She is your daughter! - I knew he was a paedophile.

@ JBT: What are those "experimental/avante-garde influences" that Opeth has?

"Had to go back to Still Life to cleanse my ears after the abomination that is Heritage, fuck." Same here. Let's just pretend that album never happened.

Oh my God, this just started on my radio and I am unbelievably pleased even though this is my 100th time listening to this song.

I find Damnation more of a Departure than Heritage. It was way more pop-sounding and despite being clean, sounded like very little other clean sections from previous Opeth albums. More melancholic but less gothic, not very acoustic, not a lot of blues/jazz/folk. Just very bleak and pretty soft rock. Heritage has more of the juxtaposition that Opeth stands for, which is by the way not death metal + clean music, but beautiful music balanced out with ugly/disgusting harmonies. There are instances where acoustic Opeth is evil and distorted Opeth is enlightening. For the record, I like Heritage, but I have familiarity with the more experimental/avant-garde influences of Opeth, as opposed to the cliche prog ones like Camel or similar 70's bands.

To those defending Heritage - of course we accept that Opeth are a progressive band, but Heritage,IMO, is just plain awful. Some ok tracks on there but Mike's masturbation on record has gone to an extreme level. This should have been a solo record for Akerfeldt. I wouldn't have minded another Watershed to be fair - that record was killer. But Heritage proved to me that Opeth are, after all, human. Just not a fan.
