10 bucks to the person who can match the song

[jörundr otkell]

I was listening to this band's song called "All I Ever Knew" available for download at http://www.myspace.com/arequiemband and i couldn't help but think that the opening acoustic riff and the riff following that sounds very similar to an opeth song.

Can anyone get their head around it?

 

[Big Stuie]

That 2nd riff, without the help of checking the song, has a real godheads lament sound about it.

 

[ditch]

Lewl, logo looks a lot like the Opeth 'O' too. And I must say the riff after that is very 'Dream Theatre'. Voice isn't suited I don't think.

 

[Towedwart]

That opening totally sounds like Godhead's Lament. LIke a simpler part of the song that starts at about 4:45.

 

[Led Opeth]

the first heavy riff sounds like DOTF when he says "Silent Dance With Death"

 

[artnoir]

actually one of the better bands I've heard on myspace....usually it's only crap, but this is pretty OK...needs some work but it's nice..

 

[_fade2black_]

can't stand the vocals. They sound so punkish

 

[artnoir]

yeah, the vocals are somewhat poor...but the mucis is good.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Oh dear losr, the vocals are awful!

Otherwise very good, even if DotF is ripped off monumentally...

 

[daz436]

my god thats dreadful.. and yeah thats a whole lot of opeth ripoff and fuckup

 

[Valerie]

I'd be damned if this band is actually jörundr otkell's band and he's trying to get exposure by relating this post to Opeth


am I right? am I right? :Spin:

 

[JoeVice]

how about the riff towards the end of "to rid the disease"

btw...that band is quite an opeth rip off...but that is a beautiful riff

These guys go to my school. I'm friends with them. They are heavily influenced by Opeth and Metallica and DT.

 

[marin1133]

maybe they should just switch over to an instrumental band then

 

[JoeVice]

maybe they should just find another vocalist. their vocals and opeth-similarities are their weak point, imo...from the 1 minute i heard of the song. but, they have something going on. they have a grasp on a cool vibe. tell them some random dude said "props." that opening riff and the following riff are beatiful...i could see them being a good part in an opeth song, for what thats worth. i can imagine that an artist could take offense or compliment to that. one thing that i have noticed is that rhythm has a big impact when it comes to "originality." the fact that they play that 6/8...2/4...whatever-you-want-to-call-it riff with the same strumming pattern that seems to be opeth's signature, makes them sound super similar to opeth. take that sequence of tones and change the strumming pattern, time sig, etc...and you have a completely different beast. any chord progression with that strumming pattern will sound somewhat similar to opeth. also, the cadence of the progression has an opeth feel. lastly, the chord progression and melody itself does too. but, picture the same order of notes in a completely different rhythm, time sig...whatev...i think it would change the song a lot...my god i'm ranting...i'm drunk...i'm out.

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

sounds like harvest

 

[OpethNZ]

sounds like patterns in the ivy

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

mh...some parts were kinda cool. but this is obviously the band of the threadstarter or of his brother or smth.

 

[SacredReich]

I don't think so.

 

[affinityband]

The first riff if is a rip off of the drapery falls. I got that right now i want 10 bucks.
