This is the best title on the forum ever! I don't have a clue what does it mean, however in my language it means 'again'. ------------- |

The word Opet means "City of the moon".And it was a place in South africa that its population was committing suicide(I'm not sure about that).The word is taken by the book Sunbird of Wilbur Smith.The first leader of the band was David Isberg.So,it's Isberg's idea the addition of 'h' inside the word.

| No, Opet (without an 'h') is a part of the temple of Louxor, in Egypt. |

Don't know, and don't care. Because whatever Opeth means, they are gods! |

After seeing Opeth live, I'm not sure I want them near my food. Not the best hygeine, especially the drummer.
Friggin' killer show though. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

I read somewhere that there was a German band in the 70's that released an album called Opeth. |

When I just saw the name a few years ago I thought it was a play of words mixing "opera" with "death" Not so ridiculous if you think about it...  -------------

Many Finnish kids are thankful that they chose to add the h at the end of Opet. You just couldn't say that you're going to see Opet and throw some metal faces and devil horns. Opet = teachers. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!
