April Ethereal

[cityofthemoon666]

Hey does anyone agree with me that the point from when Mike says "I will endure, hide away" to the end of the song is one of the best passages of music they have ever written?

I had borrowed My Arms, Your Hearse from a friend and decided to buy it as i had everything except that and Orchid and MAYH, yes i am a noob too Opeth, well, since like march ive loved them. Ive listened to MAYH liek 3 times already hehehe, but can i ask, are the lyrics in Prologue, Madrigal and Epilogue only meant to add to the story or i dont know, its just wierd. But its a great concept, i love the story.

With the story in mind, go to

and read all of the lyrics after each other. I found when I did that everything became clear and I liked the album a hell of a lot better.

Yes, the second half of April Ethereal is absolutely beautiful. When is beautiful all the way through. The Amen Corner and Demon of the Fall are utterly slayful and brilliant. Credence is very powerful too. MAYH has a lot of replay value, and it my personal favourite album of all time.

The solo after that part always completely blows me away. I love April Ethereal, and well, the whole album. Have they ever played that one live?

 

[no country for old wainds]

I think they used to play it live.

I love the ending riff.

 

[diso]

april is opeths greatest achievement

 

[Immortality]

It saddens me that I rarely see anyone mention the "The rain was waving goodbye" part of April Ethereal. That is EASIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILY, the best moment of Opeth's career.

Hrmmm its not one of my fav Opeth songs but I still like it.

that bit is very good !

 

[chaveta]

that part got me hooked on Opeth... it fucking SLAYSSS

 

[no country for old wainds]

'The rain was waving goodbye...' is the best part of April Ethereal, but it certainly isn't my favourite Opeth moment.

thats one of my favorite parts in any opeth song

I love the second "Compelled to grasp..." part even more... great riff, and even greater growl!
