coolest vocal lines?

[Koi]

I would say

Clean vocals:
Face Of Melinda-the last vocal part
Serenity Painted Death-the one after the solo
Moonlapse Vertigo-outro
Funeral Portrait

Growl:
Demon Of The Fall-chorus
BwP-CONFESSOR!!!-
Serenity Painted Death-the one after the clean instrumental part
The Leper Affinity-intro

 

[Disgustipated]

Someone here an echo? It's the forum's version of 20 whispers.

 

[the opeth affinity]

ghost of perdition:

'ghost of perdition, a saints preminition unclear'
with some really heavvy kick pedal work and stop/start heavy guitar

 

[April Etheral]

its not an Opeth song...
But i love Mikes part in Ayreon's Human Equation, the best part is where he roars "You're better of deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhd!"

best opeth line ever IMO is the part in Leper Affinity that goes "Help me cure you...atone for all you've done" its just so amazingly sung

Best growl in an Opeth soung would have to be the intro to Master's Apprentice

 

[FUBAR]

This isnt really a vocal line....but I love in the middle of 'the Funeral Portrait' after the quiet acoustic part....the hugeely metal "AAARArAr!" by mike, the heavy guitars and the scream are just soo crazy....I dunno I just always loved that part.

 

[affinityband]

Leper Affinity that goes "Help me cure you...atone for all you've done"

Thats bleak.

 

[April Etheral]

Thats bleak.

Ahhhh crap, it is as well
I'm confused with the growls of "Your body is mine to avail, such a tragic sight you are"
cos i was gonna put them as bleak >.<
God and i call myself an Opeth fan

 

[affinityband]

heh, they are both good lines!

Worst ones

'forest unknown' bit in black rose immortal
and 'they are the trees' in Harlequin forest. Its just when the words are sung. not the melody.

 

[affinityband]

But i love Mikes part in Ayreon's Human Equation, the best part is where he roars "You're better of deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhd!"

Which song is that?

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Beneath the Mire:
Inside the smoke of failure (the way he says failure)
In his shadow, I am choking yet flourishing... MASTER!

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

Beneath The Mire :
Decripit body wearing transperant skin
Inside the smoke of failure

Blackwater Park :
Lepers Coiled 'neath the trees
Dying man bewildered soliliquoys

The Grand Conjuration :
Whispered Conjuration , a belief takes form
Choking Hands tapping on the veins of your throat
His orders in your mouth, a decree for domination
Beneath the tides of wisdom spins the undertow of hate

 

[colin007]

drapery falls:

Spiralling to the ground below
Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away
waking up to your sound again
And lapse into the ways of misery

end of thread.

 

[Godhead's Lament]

"Lepers coiled neath the trees
Dying men in bewildered soliloquys
Perversions bloom round the bend
Seekers, lost in their quest
Ghosts of friends frolic
under the waning moon"

^^ BWP. Best growl Mikael has ever done

Also the "Ghost Of Perdition, Saint's premonition's unclear, Keeper of holy hordes, Keeper of holy whores". Kicks ass

As for my favourite clean part, I love the chorus of "Godhead's Lament". As

 

[affinityband]

i love that god heads lament bit too.

 

[affinityband]

Ooo also in the Amen corner when it goes 'eerie circles above the water' that whole like ten seconds is amazing when it goes insane. I gotta see that live.

 

[Moonstruck]

Harlequin: 'They are the trees...' part.

Moonlaspe outro. Amazing.

First layered 'AAAAAAAAAAH' in The Moor, very cool riff too. And also: 'There is nog forgiveness in these eyes...' part.

Bleak: 'Help me cure you...' part.

Probably lots more, can't be arsed to think of them now.

 

[L0bster]

"The sun sets forever, over blackwater park"

Those are simply the growls. Any other growls is a mere attempt at approaching those. The chorus in demon of the fall is also timeless.

As for cleanvocal-lines I like a lot of the Ghost Reveries stuff, esp lines from Beneath the Mire and Harlequin Forest. In addition to that I really dig the outro part in demon of the fall as well as face of melinda.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

"Lepers coiled neath the trees
Dying men in bewildered soliloquys
Perversions bloom round the bend
Seekers, lost in their quest
Ghosts of friends frolic
under the waning moon"

^^ BWP. Best growl Mikael has ever done

I think I would have to agree with that.

 

[The Baying Of The Leper]

There's just too fucking many to decide!

 

[Splintered Vision]

"The sun sets forever, over blackwater park"

I agree 100%. "Sick liasons raised this monumental mark, the sun sets forever over Blackwater Park" is one of my favourite Opeth moments.

Which song is that?

Ayreon - Trauma
