➡️ ‪@opeth‬ is truly one of the most "full spectrum" bands I've ever heard. Their material ranges from soft, melancholic ballads to the most crushing death-metal riffs ever written. When I first got into the band with 2003's "Damnation", I was hooked. I explored a few neighboring albums of theirs, but admittedly never reached far back into their earlier records when bassist Johan De Farfalla was at the helm. In this video, I listen to "To Bid You Farewell" for the first time - a beautiful ballad featuring his jazzy, fretless playing from the 1996 album "Morningrise". I focus on his usage of harmonics, his interplay with upper-level chord tones, and how his bass line really tells a story. I sold the only fretless I ever owned many years ago, and listening to this track really made me regret it!
