Best Opeth Intro

[Harvest]

Harvest...Go figure.

And The moor.

 

[hibernal_dream]

In The Mist She Was Standing

 

[arborist]

The Drapery Falls or April Ethereal.

 

[Smitty]

The Moor is the fuckin worst intro. EVER.

 

[nokturnal emission]

In The Mist She Was Standing

 

[Bleak Eyes]

Wow, I cannot believe that no one has mentioned The Funeral Portrait. That is fantastic how they start out with the acoustic riff right into the crushing heavy riff.

 

[White Candle Expire]

I've always been fond of the beginning of "The Apostle In Triumph".

 

[Anarkissed]

I'm having a bit of a blank mind right now so i can't think of many intros, but the song By the Pain I See in Others, which i'm listening to right now, has an awesome intro. Radio-esque recording and then all of a sudden the volume turns up 100000% and blasts your ears off. Whee!

Oh and Demon of the Fall, yes sireeeee! *backwards roars*

 

[Evan84]

The Moor
Prologue/April Ethereal
When
Nectar

 

[Anarkissed]

Demon! Demon of the FALL!

 

[DoomzDayz]

definitely agree with Bleak Eyes... heres a list of almost all of opeth's songs...:
in the mist she was standing
the apostle in triumph
to bid you farewell
demon of the fall
the moor
moonlapse vertigo
serenity painted death
the leper affinity
the drapery falls
dirge for november
the funeral portrait
blackwater park
wreath
deliverance

and...
WINDOWPANE

 

[Spike]

Think BIGGER people.....

You know, the have entire songs dedicated to this.....

 

[John Gargo]

Nothing will ever beat the introduction to "Advent," which also has what I consider to be the greatest Opeth riff of all time...

"The Moor" comes in at a close second... I never get tired of listening to this song!

"April Ethereal" probably comes in at third but to limit a list like this to a top three does a great injustice to so many wonderful songs that I could have listed... I guess that goes without saying...

 

[opethwundi]

-The Apostle In Triumph
-Advent
-Deliverance
i think those are the best intros...
The Moor is the fuckin worst intro. EVER.

i agree dude...

 

[Staffan]

THe moor intro is definetly one of the most atmospheric riffs opeth have done

 

[L0bster]

The Drapery Falls.

 

[Dark Hunter]

- The Leper Affinity
- Advent (LIVE !!!! )
- The Funeral Portrait
