Beneath the Mire

[Godhead59]

First, I should say I adore this song. At first I didn't really like it, but then I discovered the incredible solo played at around 04:14.

Do you guys know whose solo it is, Mikael's or Peter's?

 

[Septembers Marc]

It's Mikael's.

 

[Godhead59]

It's Mikael's.

Thanks...
Nice choice recording it in two different tones...

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

It's Mike and Pear playing it.

 

[still day]

that song is so fuckin' OPeth!!!!

 

[MixGrafix]

So many people here bashed that song for so long, and it is IMO the quintessential Opeth song. It has every element that makes Opeth Opeth.

Happy St Pats Day.

It's very cool to see them play it together on the DVD.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

one of my fave opeth guitar passages

 

[i aint play this]

great song

 

[IamReptar]

I don't know how many times I have praised this song. People that don't know complain about the repetitiveness of Opeth songs. This song is a 6 1/2 minute compression of all that is Opeth.

Excellent fucking song.

 

[Godhead59]

Excellent fucking song indeed.

 

[all_sins_undone]

great song, too bad the intro is terrible =(

 

[profskett]

What's wrong with the intro?

...not judging, I'm just interested why you don't like it.

 

[all_sins_undone]

the keys are cheesy as hell, would be enslaved-ish (better iyam) without em

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

I really love that intro.

 

[i aint play this]

Yeah i think it is cool, the egyptian intro or smth

 

[IamReptar]

I think the keys sounds cool.

Once it hits the :46 mark it's full speed ahead. Mendez' tone is just too good on this album in general.

 

[LightningLixxx]

great song, too bad the intro is terrible =(

I think it's a great way of throwing that trippy growling part right in your face.

 

[Dante's Inferno]

I used to hate it at first. Now, I love all the cool elements in it.
