Absolute Favorite Opeth Riff

[Evan84]

blackwater park

 

[Seance]

blackwater park

it's funny because the question was favorite riff yet some put a song name

p.s.
6:29 through the end of Karma

 

[Anarkissed]

At the moment, it's the 'White face, haggard grin' riff in Serenity Painted Death.

 

[BRI]

black rose immortal 13:38

^
Also The Amen Corner 4:00

and the acoustic beginning to The Apostle.

 

[R0l0]

there's too many good ones, but I'll throw in April Ethereal 4:44

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

In the Mist She was Standing at about 5:20

 

[OGM]

The riff in Funeral Portrait that starts at about 1:15.

 

[Saber Rider]

Blackwater Park(the song) has the most badass riffs of all Opeth songs.
I'll choose the heavy one which is played on the accoustic first and introduced by a "Ugh!".

 

[saut]

Moonlapse vertigo 2nd riff in the intro (47 seconds in)
Serenity Painted Death (not the main riff, the one that starts at about 3:20, has the first clean vocals of the song over it)
The Leper Affinity (first riff, fucking brutal)

 

[BRI]

Oh, I'd just like to point out, Swano's riffs eat Opeth's for breakfast.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

the intro riff to amen corner...

 

[TheButcher]

the outro of the leper affinity

 

[Joemc17]

Advent at 8:11 is a good riff. But #1 would have to be The Moor at 4:57-5:27, yes I know they're 2 different riffs, but oh well .

 

[deliverance]

Oh, I'd just like to point out, Swano's riffs eat Opeth's for breakfast.

uhhhh. neg.

 

[ViCyniC]

The Funeral Portrait - 4:28 for now.

 

[Agarves]

Hmm, hard to say.

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

I hear You. A Beauty.

 

[Garou]

I'd have to say the riff in the intro of The Twilight is my Robe. Also contains my favourite Åkerfeldt growl/scream/whatever probably as well.

 

[Jon Snow]

Godhead's Lament at 58 seconds.

 

[Evil Dead]

To Bid You Farewell at 7:09, because I got laid to that.

But its a hard decision considering the first 2 Opeth albums are chocked full of so many awesome riffs. Whereas the latter ones arent.

 

[ViCyniC]

opeth's not really a riff band anyway...their best ones pale in comparison to some other bands

They're a shredding band? Wha?
