Heaviest Opeth Song

[deathbearer]

Heavy opeth songs? Demon of the Fall, Master's Apprentices, By the Pain I see in Others, the Funeral Potrait..-l-

 

[Plague Witch]

Serenity Painted Death-no question

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Demon and The Amen Corner are the heaviest, imo. BWP and Wreath, while heavy, just can't match the pure atmosphere of those songs--they emit heaviness.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

The 1st few minutes of "When," brutal stuff. For a whole song either Demon of the Fall or Wreath

 

[OpethBrian]

The sun sets forever, over Blackwater Paaaaaaaaaaaark.

 

[Supermoi]

Definitely Demon of the Fall.

 

[osse87]

The first heavy part of "When". And the last two verses of "Dirge for novembre". The en of "karma" maybe. The pretty mayhem shit after the acoustic part on demon of the fall, and the "mayhemic" part "The drapery falls".

 

[osse87]

The end of Bleak

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

I think it could be IMO... Blackwater park or Deliverance... Those are heavy bitches

 

[Aborted Fetus]

April Ethereal is definitely up there. Plus you can't forget to mention The Amen Corner. Just listen to that damn intro!

The intro to the amen corner GROOVES, it's not very heavy at all. Blackwater Park has got some heaviness I'd say, but Demon of the Fall is the heaviest, partly because of that drum fill right before the verse! That is the coolest drum fill in the history of music (right above that one in "War Ensemble" where it sounds like the kit is being cut into pieces and beaten)! The verse on that song sounds like the attack of the star destroyers, and the demon of the fall riff is probably one of the most intense things I've ever heard. Songs like "Wreath" don't come ANYWHERE CLOSE, they just sound weird and sinuous...the production's wayyyy too trebly for any amount of heaviness to creep in. The chorus to "Serenity Painted Death" is sort of heavy too, I guess...but it's more grinding. I think just about every example of real heaviness they've ever done is on MAYH and then there are a few stray ones on Blackwater Park (like parts of the title track after the 5 minute mark and a couple parts of the funeral portrait). I guess that first riff after the big majestic intro to blackwater park is pretty heavy...it sounds like some kind of killer jungle attack!

DEMON, DEMON OF THE FALLLLLLL

Deliverance is good too. So are quite a few others

 

[murderedbysound]

hell Black Rose Immortal has spots that are heavy

Damn B, what're you smoking? Heavy and groovy are not mutually exclusive. And how can you say those notes/hits before the groove aren't heavy?
