Heaviest Opeth Riff

[Ermz]

The solo riff in 'Blackwater Park' definately. My neck paid in spades for that during the gig.

 

[Shooto]

good riffs...I'll pick 6:49 into "Drapery Falls"-

 

[zeroMaximum]

the really heavy palm-mute:ish part in Bleak, the one that's right after the calm acoustic part. at least that's the most headbangable

 

[JoeVice]

Serenity Painted Death

"White faced..."

definetely....that is possibly the heaviest riff i have ever heard in all of music.

 

[child-of-the-grave]

1:27 in serenity painted death gets my vote

 

[Christie_fell]

Demon..Demon of the Faaaaalll. It is beyond amazing

 

[Rose Immortal]

I think the final riff of Deliverience is pretty heavy in a weird kind of off beat way. \m/

There's something about the repetition of it that makes it border on insanity and it's the moment I look forward to the most on the entire Deliverance album. Probably "DEMON--DEMON OF THE FALL!" is THE heaviest riff, but I think the end riff of "Deliverance" runs a very close second. What the "Deliverance" riff has to its advantage is how sustained it is...really gives you some time to get into it.

 

[Arnold Layne]

The end of To Rid The Disease, umong many others, bu thats the first that came to my mind.

From out of nowhere...Orchid. In Mist She Was Standing at 4:00. It gets a little better at 4:29, and then when the solo comes in over the top...excellence.

 

[sands of the seas]

In The Mist She Was Standing 7:29

Not that agressive, but so dark and also so beautiful. It's very powerful and that's what i mean when i say it's heavy really.
And then "oooh darkness encloses..."
Easily one of my favourite pieces in music.

 

[Episteme]

definetely....that is possibly the heaviest riff i have ever heard in all of music.

I like this one as well.

The solo riff in 'Blackwater Park' definately. My neck paid in spades for that during the gig.

I do believe that I am going to have to strongly agree with you here on that one Moonlapse. Opeth played ''Blackwater Park'' live, So incredibley well.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Master's Apprentices opening riff... just like getting hit in the face with a tire iron

Thats what I was thinking

 

[kyuss80]

The Twilight is my Robe (my favorite Opeth song) -- 7:48 and onwards to the end

"I diiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Man that song, to me, is so freaking powerful sounding

My runner up is:

6:45 in April Ethereal, basically all the way to the end

 

[AbsentFriend]

blackwater park-7:00

Or maybe Master's Apprentices 2:22!!!! I LOOOVE that riff

Or The Funeral Portrait 1:15 !!!!

sorry I can't just name one

 

[Hulk Hogan]

they're all just so fucking heavy!

But the heaviest is the deliverance riff, because Mike thinks it's ther heaviest, so it must be the heaviest, since he fucking wrote that song! Go Mikael!

 

[Kung Keno]

what the hell is that tag?!

 

[AbsentFriend]

Mr. Alphabet is just an asshole, that's all. I think he should be banned.

Moonlapse, do something about abcdefghi, he's just negative

 

[DrX]

I prefer the heavy middle section in Dirge for November. It's a heavy melodic riff.

Absent you might want to delete that post cause you should know exactly what will happen when he sees it.
