We're heading back to Sweden! Progmasters, Opeth are the topic this week. We're joined by our good friend David Johnson to talk about their unique blend of Prog Rock and Death Metal, their many collaborations with Steven Wilson, and the possible effect it had on their eventual shift away from Death Metal.
Jason wants to know if Opeth is mostly music for music nerds.
DLo wants to know if it's a Prog Rock take on Death Metal or a Death Metal take on Prog Rock.

We also ask what does the term "heavy" even mean, in regards to music and how it applies to a band like Opeth? *spoiler*, that's a super difficult question to answer.

Also in this episode: Pizza The Hut, The Martins, Dr. Dre, a little bit of music theory, the cardboard guitar guy, a chorus of Akerfeldt, Kubrick creepy, are they just a heavy Porcupine Tree?, the hidden track trend and how stupid it was, why Jason hates what he calls "the Seafarer Swing"...and Fat Elvis.
