lmao

The song fucking crushes and the solo is fucking balls out metal, if you don't like it go listen to your shitty ass Porcupine Tree and wank off.
 
I admire the person who took it. I was standing right at the front row and I couldn't move!!! people were pushing all the time so holding a camera for me was impossible! not to speak of the pain I had in my chest bones the day after cuz i was pushed against the bloody fence. but, DAMN IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :rock:
 
so tempted to view that video. but i wait, and also i look forward to something new in an opeth song.. and this song seems like its going to deliver.
 
Hmm, anyone prefer the low quality version? This sounds stupid I know, but somehow I prefer the low quality version. There are some sonic elements in this better one that I don't like.
 
I think its the drums. Now that I can hear the drums better, they feel a bit standard compared to what Lopez used to do. But otherwise its a great song, even the solo is not far from what Opeth would have done. The riffing is killer.

Way better quality version up now complements of my housemate!!
 
I think it's very strong song. At first I wasn't too impressed by it, but after the second listening I thought it's really crushing. My favourite parts are Fredrik's solo and his seconf acoustics after the HEAVY break. By the way, this HEAVY break after the first acoustics is pretty similar to "Demon of the Fall" middle-part.

I was surprised by no clean vocals during the entire song and by that thrashy 6th string tremolos. There was never something like that before in Opeth's music. And it's pretty pummeling, I think.
 
LOL!!!!! guys I just noticed that in this version of Heir Apparent you can actually hear ME shouting "WE LOVE YOU!" right at the beginning as Mikael tune his guitar at the quiet moment when Per is playing solo. COOOOOOOOOOOL

It looks really good now. I think it's nice for someone in Opeth to break the trend of hairstyles in Opeth. I'm not counting Fredrik, because Anders Nordin had crazy curly hair all that time ago too.
