4. An unsigned English Heavy Melodic Instrumental band which formed in 2000.
Opus formed in early 2001 and debuted a year later with their 6 track (non-instrumental) EP Questions. After a year and a half of touring in and around London and supporting bands such as The Datsuns, Kid Galahad and The blueprint Opus decided to perform an instrumental one off show in their local area Frimley. Much of their set was improvised and the band played their set with total belief in what they were doing that night. From that day Opus have only ever performed instrumental sets.
In 2004 they went on to record their self-titled 30 minute long, one song self-released EP OPUS. They have since gone on to develop their distinctive style of heavy, yet melodic instrumentation and have been working to create new material. Sample Aura is the bands 3rd studio EP and was released on 10th March 2006. They recorded a free track called Antipathy which could be downloaded from their official site.
Their influences can be found in artists such as Tool, Mogwai and King Crimson.

The song "Live Is Life" by the Austrian pop-rock band Opus is a celebration of the power of music and unity. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the importance of everyone giving their all and working together to create a feeling of shared purpose and joy. The refrain "Live is life" underscores the idea that it is in the act of living, of being present in the moment, that we can truly experience the magic of music and human connection.
The verses of the song provide instructions for how to achieve this sense of unity and empowerment. The first verse outlines the conditions necessary for everyone to "get the power" and "give the best" - essentially, we must all be fully committed to the music and to each other, without worrying about taking breaks or holding back. The second verse reinforces these ideas, and also adds a call to action for listeners to "stand up and dance" and be part of the collective experience. The final verse acknowledges that this experience of "giving everything" will be fleeting, but that the memories and connections made during that time will endure.
Overall, "Live Is Life" is a simple but effective anthem for the power of music to bring people together and create transcendental moments of joy and unity.
