Absolute Favorite Opeth Riff

[Forest of Åsatrú]

I wish to know everyone's ABSOLUTE favorite Opeth riff. Not the top 3, the BEST.

 

[jeanreno]

Yeah so what are yours

 

[Ermz]

Hmm, hard to say.

Intro riff to Moonlapse Vertigo? Guess that's the one.

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

The final heavy riff in 'Blackwater Park'

 

[Goober]

ending riffs on the end of demon of the fall

 

[Seth'Peth]

Probably the riff(s) at the end of "Advent" during this verse...

"Time grows short
As the piper plays his tune
We are almost there

You are beyond all help
Dancing into the void
We are almost there"

Awesome, as are all the riffs on that album IMO.

The final heavy riff in 'Blackwater Park'

Yeah, that would be a close second for me, very ominous.

First one that comes to mind is the long, slow one during the quiet section in Forest of October. The one that starts with the electric and the beautiful acoustic plays around it. Also the "Russian Riff" in the Drapery Falls is a close second.

edit: made a little error

 

[JoeVice]

first riff in april ethereal

 

[dorian gray]

The Funeral Portrait = alltime favorite Opeth riff

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

The Forest of October riff is a good one, I really like the groove-oriented one in 'The Leper Affinity' I think it starts about 2:10. Very good head banging material!

 

[Pseud0]

um.. hard question no?

possibly the outro of april ethereal
simple and very emotional

 

[TheApostle]

5:43 of "twilight is my robe"

And I thought i was the only one to notice that

 

[Hoahmaru]

Mine is battle between the ending riff of Karma, ending riff of Face of Melinda and the 3rd riff to funeral portrait (2nd if you dont include the clean intro).

 

[Pseud0]

5:43 of "twilight is my robe"

that song is amazing and so is that riff but i think th e one at 2:11 is even better... god i love that riff

 

[Pseud0]

you're unemployed

HAHA!

and the blackrose riff kicks ass although 9:43 in that song will always be the goosebumps one for me

 

[Shadows Skulk]

Moonlapse Vertigo outro

 

[scorpian007]

Maybe Serenity Painted Death? Too hard to choose, there's so many good ones!

 

[Goober]

i change my favorite. Mines the ending to leper affinity (before the piano)

 

[Kichacid]

The second heavy riff of Dirge for November.
