Favorite "aaah"/"ooooh" Opeth vocals

[in limbow]

You know what I mean how Mikael often goes "ahhhhh" instead of singing actual words, just a beautiful melody. What are your favorite instances of that?
I love the humming part near the end of The Moor, the surreal, ethereal sounding "aaahhh" at the beginning of Karma, the little "oooh-oh" Mikael does after singing "no one would know" in Godhead's Lament, and I LOVE the part around 8:45 or so in Apostle in Triumph, so beautiful and haunting.

Ghost of Perdition, baby.

 

[in limbow]

Oh, damn forgot about that

Masters Apprentices.... also in GoP

 

[Jude]

The ones on The Moor right after the 'Melinda is the reason why I've come' part...the ones on the 'No-one would know' part on Godhead's Lament...and the ones on Ghost of Perdition which I was just diggin now.

[Reveries]

nice!

 

[Reclusive Strike]

The Moor.

I agree.

 

[Hypnos]

the part in Karma slays everything else.
second best one is in the beginning of April Ethereal.

ghost of perdition
I heard this part and thought: "Wow! He trained his voice!"

 

[Black Rain]

what the fuck?

 

[apostle]

the drapery falls

 

[Detric]

The Apostle In Triumph.

 

[Mistress Bleak]

The one leading into April Ethereal DEFINITELY rules. It's so fitting! The one in Karma is also perfect.

Great post, by the way. Mikael's "ahhhhh"s are definitely worthy of recognition.

 

[Mantraschism]

I really love the one in Ghost of Perdition, but the brief one in Karma is still by far the most powerful Opeth 'aah' vocal for me.

 

[Brackofthemountain]

Karma...

Bonecrushing song... especially toward the end.

 

[asztrod]

i love the short ohh, only for like half a sec in SPD at 1:37, Sounds like something of James Hetfield but with a growling filter applied to it....

 

[a síctia]

april ethereal's one is SO Silent Hill, like in SH2 when u save games... Its EXACTLY the same fucking sound, and i've always thought thats where mike got inspiration for that especific part

lol
