Favorite Opeth Vocals

[KennonKun]

The Forest... Of October... Sleeps silent as I depart...

In the coldness of night! (pause) Shrouded in crystals...

Under your command I will obey...

The only way to follow...

It was all true
A parlour strode, and the night sets forever
I stray in the quiet cold
And you gird me when I dare to listen

Elastic meadow, endless arms of sorrow
Lips try to form "because"
Trying to adapt to the wilderness
Where even foes close their eyes and leave

How I drape my face with my bare hands
The same that brought me here

Smiling in the midst of the moor...

Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows glid the archways

[All of To Bid You Farewell]

That's just from Orchid and Morningrise... I don't feel like doing any other albums...

 

[Opeth\m/\m/]

"Run away Runaway" Demon of the fall
"Spiral down to the ground again, like autumn leaves left in the wake to fade" The drapery falls
"Scream Your sadness" Credence
"A blank face in the windowpayne" Windowpayne
"Once Im alone theres no turning back"Masters Apprentecies

 

[ramses]

I like the way the vocals were done on...
The ending verse in The Night and the Silent Water
The roar at the end of Black Rose Immortal
It was the only task I would undertake. To reap the harvest that was mine....I love the sinister intensity vocally in the Amen Corner my personal favorite.
In Karma, when his vocals get sinister "I have gone away. The bed is cold and empty...etc.
There is no forgiveness in these eyes....The Moor
All the vocals in Bleak
Walk with me, you'll never leave...Deliverance
Intro vocals to By the Pain I See In Others

 

[Torenstain]

Eerie patterns upon the waters

 

[Nilfheim]

growled "I swear I will always love you" - nectar

Through the eternal flame I travel
As the rain keeps falling.... - apostole...

With eyes of fire
Once unlit but now alive
This energy, sparkling
Like a morning star
The morning star - under the...

Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun
Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows gild the archways - Black rose...

In my own ashes I am standing without a soul
She wept and whispered: "I know..." - to bid...




and much much more, but it's all I can now remember

Lately i have been really liking the vocals in ''Still Day Beneath The Sun''

 

[Duvall]

Maybe it's just because I love the riff, but in Karma:

"The cold season.. drifts over the land"

But really MAYH has excellent vocal arrangement throughout. Any segue to clean singing is always very smoothly handled.

"I turned away my eyes.." another one of my favourites.

wheeeee

 

[Protected Witness]

The Forest of October sleeps silent when I depart
The web of time hides my last trace

My blaze travels the last universe
like the sights of magic
Wrapped in aeons, my mind is one with my soul
I fall alone while leaves... they fall from the weeping trees

Then the "Ahhh" part and solo...

Who knows what the hell he's talking about right there but I love the music!

Too Bid You Farewell -

First line

"I am awaiting the sunrise"

when he says "sunrise" it sounds perfect with the chord played!

check it out! i havent heard that song in a while so, I forget, but i think that part is amazing!

 

[Episteme]

Basically anything off Still Life, especially Godhead's Lament which has such emotional vocals and dynamics with the songwriting. Serenity Painted Death probably has the best growling ever in Opeth.

 

[AbsentFriend]

-"Searching my way...." "What would they care.." Godhead's Lament

-Run away, Run away. Just one second....and I was left with nothing, her fragrance still pulsating through damp air....that day came to an end...and she had lost in me her...Credence...

- The Sun sets forever over.....BLACKWATER PAAAAARRRK...(brilliant)

- Aaaaaaah Merauder (Godhead's Lament)

- White faced, haggard grin---> Serenity Painted Death

- Godheads Lament, Blackwater Park (track) completely actually!!!

- Ruby eyes in the fog!!! (The Funeral Portrait)

- Master's Apprentices (esp. Plunging into the deepest void, departed shell left drained behind)

- Lost.....here is nowhere... (beginning of Dirge)

- Hope Leaves

Serenity Painted Death probably has the best growling ever in Opeth.

''White faced, haggard grin
This serenity painted death
With a halo of bitter disease
Black paragon in lingering breath''

I love it!
