The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) The article lacks references altogether, which is it's biggest weakness. It also has a trivia section (in list form), which is generally frowned upon on Wikipedia - it should be merged with the rest of the article in appropriate places and in prose. However, it is well written, makes good use of pictures, has an infobox, covers a lot of ground, although some more about their stage act could have been added, and I'm giving it a "B" grade. It needs expansion for a higher grade though. - Duribald 10:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC) |

[edit] Mythology expansion
Can anyone expand on the "Mythology" section? I am not too well versed in the lyrical aspect of Bal-Sagoth, but it is a huge part of the band and could use expansion. I started the section with the header, but it could use chapters, maybe by each saga, or album? Skeletor2112 05:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not black metal
I've only heard a few songs, but other people have told me this is not black metal. -69.228.208.254 04:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
The guitar's a little thrash and keyboard fanfare's pretty pronounced, but I think most people tend to call them "not black metal" because of the lyrical themes. I'd say the walk the line pretty closely, but their overall style, in my opinion, is black metal. Col.clawhammer 18:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I seriously object to calling them black metal as well. I'll find a source for a different genre later today or tomorrow when I have the time. Can't hurt, seeing as there aren't ANY sources for this article at the moment.
- Listen to the Black Moon Broods over Lemuria or Starfire Burning albums and tell me that it's not black metal. Granted their later albums evolved in a more unique style that doesn't really fall into a one genre, their roots are there. --Col.clawhammer 08:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's certainly not black metal. Symphonic Extreme Metal is the best way to do it, although if the generic "extreme" is not good enough, Symphonic Heavy Metal - simply because it's more hm than bm, even rasps taken into account. It's also incorrect to say they USED to be black metal either. Their debut and demos are pure (and generic) death metal. Lethesl 09:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Not black metal, I 3rd the statement. Compared to other bands mentioned right above them in the main black metal article especially. All Music Guide calls Opeth a "symphonic black metal" band too, which I thoroughly disagree with as well.Kgppra17 09:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concept Band?
Seems to me that every single album is a concept album. This seems like the band should be more noteworthy or something. Concept isn't a genre, as genre's aren't supposed to be based on lyrics. What was my point again? Oh yeah, is it ok to mention this as a concept band or something?JackorKnave (talk) 18:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
