Opeth Thy Mind

About this Playlist

This is a playlist to appreciate the mellow arrangements of a great metal band from Sweden.
I boarded their hype train pretty late in my musical life imo, around 2013 perhaps. And it was an incredible new journey because as much as I’ve always been into metal and harder genres I always had a hard time with gutturals, growling and burping.

That is until I was introduced to Opeth and this guy’s amazing guttural voice, accompanied by an amazing instrumental. What a great band, definitely one of my favourites.

You can tell the level of craftsmanship of a metal band by the quality of their tranquil tracks, considering you’re already deep into their burning music.

Jorge Pedbra

Yorgos has been listening to music and discovering different genres/subgenres for over 20 years now, and it all truly began for him with Gorillaz, Daft Punk, and Audioslave.

Those bands marked his music taste for what he is today, it also helped him develop a very strange yet interesting personality (although he's never really been too eager to socialize constantly). He's a pretty laidback guy who's easy to talk to but can sometimes be misinterpreted because of his blunt and accentuated way of speaking and thinking. He's good willed and harmless.

Back in 2006 he was having an overwhelmingly good music boom and not all of the music he wanted to stream was uploaded in Youtube so he made it his duty to upload and share all that missing music through a channel he created called Funkroza, in there people would find all the missing French Touch / Funky House music and later one some more genres. Over time he’s amassed almost 9 million views but his golden days are yet to return.
At some point he felt like trying several music programs to remix his favourite songs but most of them were, in his words, “pretty trashy”. After some years he slowly drifted away and semi-abandoned it but has got fully back to it in 2020.

While he's always had trouble reading because of apprehensive problems he's always had a thing for philosophy, and philosophizing. This is also a very important thing for him when it comes to music. He is a natural overthinker and music is one of the subjects.

Nature is also a very appealing thing to him, it's what drives his feelings into the very best version of themselves.
