Share your favorite Opeth riffs; please profide song title and riff time.

Mine are :

Godhead's Lament - 5:52
Blackwater Park - 1:58
In the Mist She Was Standing - 12:08

 

[Ayoria]

Forest of October intro

 

[Ermz]

Oh believe me, this board has seen these threads many times.

I can't really pinpoint mine anymore... I like so many, yet I keep forgetting. I think just about anything off Orchid haha. Especially that solo that 'Twilight is My Robe' kicks into.

 

[estimate]

I could name some, like of the non obvious ones.

The Twilight Is My Robe - 3.07
The Funeral Portrait - 01.16
Karma - 05.25 (Ok, this one should be obvious )

 

[snow_like_ash]

The Twilight is my Robe- right after the bass solo
opening riff to In the Mist She Was Standing
April Etherial- riff before "the rain was waving goodbye..."

 

[Fionn]

the end of Deliverance of course!

 

[Colonial Boy]

I think all of them are great. Look at the riff thread and see that its so easy to remember instantly which song each riff is from because they are so memorable.

[Maq]

In The Mist She Was Standing - 8:35, Black Rose Immortal 13:38....etc. etc.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

The one in Black Rose Immortal at 7:34-8:08.

 

[Gymsokk]

serenity painted death 1:27! its not the best opeth riff, but it's a cool riff....

 

[JoeVice]

Serenity Painted Death - around 3:00....the really twisted one...white faced..haggard grin...this serenity painted death....with a halo of bitter disease...a black p...

Face of Melinda

[cityofthemoon666]

BWP 1:58
SPD the riff at Saw her Fading, blank star into me etc
end of deliverance
end of karma \m/

 

[FuSiOn420]

One that wasnt mentioned, and is one of my favorites (there are too many amazing riffs to mention) is the main riff in Bleak (starts around 20 secs into the song). Not to mention the one that ends the song somewhere around the 8:30 mark (after the Steven Wilson sung part) until the end. I think most of the "best" riffs are on the first two cds, since they are so riff and solo driven, much moreso than MAYH and beyond.

 

[Sindustry487]

Black Rose Immortal at 13:38 is god-like.

Demon Of The Fall at 4:28 and that whole clean part.

Moonlapse Vertigo, the whole riff before he starts signing.

The solo in Nectar that ends at around 4:24.

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Black Rose Immortal 13:38 as well as the first time the previous riff comes in....

Blackwater Park, the big heavy riff that comes in immediately after the quiet section.

 

[synergy]

Hmmmm tough to choose but.....

Face of Melinda - outro

Godheads Lament - everything

Wreath - couple minutes into the song

Bleak - intro

 

[Master_Debater]

first three minutes of Leper Affinity

Deliverance - 0:25
The Moor - 7:21
Face of Melinda - 7:04
Drapery Falls - 5:03
Wreath - 0:44
Godhead's Lament - 3:44
Serenity Painted Death - 8:06
