'''''Still Life''''' is the fourth studio album by Swedish [[progressive metal]] band [[Opeth]]. It was produced and engineered by Opeth alongside [[Fredrik Nordström]], and released on 18 October 1999 through [[Peaceville Records]]. It was the only Opeth album to be released through Peaceville, following the band's departure from [[Candlelight Records|Candlelight]] and [[Century Media Records|Century Black]] after the release of ''[[My Arms, Your Hearse]]'', and the first album to feature [[Martin Mendez]]. |
|||
'''''Still Life''''' is [[Opeth]]'s fourth album, released under [[Peaceville/Snapper]] in [[1999]], only a year after their previous release, ''[[My Arms, Your Hearse]]''. It was also re-issued on [[February 27]], [[2001]]. Up until their next album was released (''[[Blackwater Park]]''), ''Still Life'' had been the most successful. Like nearly all Opeth albums, this album combines both [[death metal]] and [[progressive rock]] elements. The exception is their [[2003]] release, [[Damnation (album)|Damnation]], which is completely progressive, and contains no heavy [[death grunt|death metal vocals]]. ''Still Life'' gives the narrative account of a man who returns to his home town after years of exile to find his beloved Melinda. Like its predecessor, ''My Arms, Your Hearse'', ''Still Life'' is a [[concept album]], with vocalist [[Mikael Åkerfeldt]]'s voice gaining a deeper death metal style, and experimentation with the [[dynamics (music)|dynamics]] of their songs; the transitions between soft and heavy parts. The album's "Benighted" is its only [[acoustic guitar|acoustic]] track, containing a [[jazz]]y [[guitar solo]]. "Benighted" is also one of the band's few songs that follow a linear song structure, containing verses and a chorus. The song "Face Of Melinda" is also a fairly soft song for Opeth, and while it does not contain heavy death metal vocals, it does contain heavy guitar [[riff]]s. A fretless [[bass guitar]] was used in "Face Of Melinda" to make it sound more [[jazz]]y. When the album was released the band received several death threats on account of "Face Of Melinda", but the band still looks to the song with a certain fondness and considers it their [[ballad]]. It was also performed live for the first time during their Lamentations Over America 2004 tour. |

==Background== |
|||
=== Concept === |
|||
Like its predecessor, ''[[My Arms, Your Hearse]]'', ''Still Life'' is a [[concept album]]. Frontman [[Mikael Åkerfeldt]] explains: "''Still Life'' was not [[Satanism|Satanic]] but an [[anti-Christian]] theme. It sounds pretty naive when I explain it like this. It kind of takes place a long time ago when [[Christianity]] had a bigger importance than it has today. The main character is kind of banished from his hometown because he hasn't got the same faith as the rest of the inhabitants there. The album pretty much starts off when he is returning after several years to hook up with his old 'babe'. Obviously a lot of bad things start happening with, as I call it on the album, 'the council.' The big bosses of the town know that he's back. A lot of bad things start happening. They see him as a [[hypocrite]] in a way. It's almost like a devil's advocate or whatever it's called."<ref name="McCoe">{{Cite web |last=McCoe|first=Scott |url=http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewopeth.html |title=Interview with Mikael Åkerfeldt |publisher=Metalupdate.com |accessdate=12 January 2008}}</ref> The album then proceeds to portray Melinda's proclamation of love towards the protagonist. These events lead to her murder and the main character going on a rampage against the ones responsible. The last song of the record, "White Cluster" concludes the story with his execution and him meeting Melinda in the [[afterlife]]. |
|||
===Preparation=== |
|||
Due to time constraints, the band was able to rehearse only twice before entering the studio. Delays with the album's artwork pushed the release back an additional month, and the album was released in Europe under the [[Peaceville Records|Peaceville/Snapper]] label on 18 October 1999. Due to problems with the band's new distribution network, the album was not released in American stores until 27 February 2001.<ref name="Biography">{{Cite web |url=http://www.opeth.com/home/about-opeth |title=Opeth Biography |publisher=Opeth.com |accessdate=26 October 2011}}</ref> |

Still Life is the fourth studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It was produced and engineered by Opeth alongside Fredrik Nordström, and released on 18 October 1999 through Peaceville Records. It was the only Opeth album to be released through Peaceville, following the band's departure from Candlelight and Century Black after the release of My Arms, Your Hearse, and the first album to feature Martin Mendez.
Background
[edit]Concept
[edit]Like its predecessor, My Arms, Your Hearse, Still Life is a concept album. Frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt explains: "Still Life was not Satanic but an anti-Christian theme. It sounds pretty naive when I explain it like this. It kind of takes place a long time ago when Christianity had a bigger importance than it has today. The main character is kind of banished from his hometown because he hasn't got the same faith as the rest of the inhabitants there. The album pretty much starts off when he is returning after several years to hook up with his old 'babe'. Obviously a lot of bad things start happening with, as I call it on the album, 'the council.' The big bosses of the town know that he's back. A lot of bad things start happening. They see him as a hypocrite in a way. It's almost like a devil's advocate or whatever it's called."[4] The album then proceeds to portray Melinda's proclamation of love towards the protagonist. These events lead to her murder and the main character going on a rampage against the ones responsible. The last song of the record, "White Cluster" concludes the story with his execution and him meeting Melinda in the afterlife.
Preparation
[edit]Due to time constraints, the band was able to rehearse only twice before entering the studio. Delays with the album's artwork pushed the release back an additional month, and the album was released in Europe under the Peaceville/Snapper label on 18 October 1999. Due to problems with the band's new distribution network, the album was not released in American stores until 27 February 2001.[5]
Still Life was the first Opeth album to bear any kind of caption on the front cover besides the band logo upon its initial release.[6]
Style
[edit]Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic called Still Life a "formidable splicing of harsh, often jagged guitar riffs with graceful melodies".[1]
