Hex Omega solo

[Annihilat0r]

I know many people here don't like Hex Omega (and I agree that it can't keep up with monster songs such as Heir Apparent, Lotus Eater or Hessian Peel) but I think it has one of the best solos Opeth ever had on any of their albums. Pity I never heard of anyone here mentioning this solo.

Judging from its super fast hammer ons I think it's Fred who played this solo. Cheers Fredrik, awesome job!

Many people don't like this song?! Might be the best on the album for me. And I agree on the solo. Amazing stuff!

 

[MixGrafix]

Agreed. Fantastic Solo

 

[Don Corleone]

this is the last track on the album, right?..and many people dont like it??? EH?

 

[BwA Ethereal]

I actually like this song. I think however some growls would fit nicely but alas..they never come

 

[Godhead59]

^ I'm with this one.

 

[Annihilat0r]

It's one of the simpler songs on the album. Has some good riffs but I think the solo really shines

 

[To rid you disease]

i love the track but not a big fan of the solo.

 

[Annihilat0r]

You should be reversed.

 

[Fields Of Sorrow]

It's a pretty sub-par track overall but benefits hugely from the listener having to endure Porcelain Heart earlier

haha, would have to agree with this. I enjoy the song, but I rarely go out of my way to listen to it.

Great song, great solo.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

last riff is crushing tbh. rest of the song doesnt appeal to me, it's too drawn out and almost boring.

I love the song. The solo is my favourite part, it's so amazing. Definetly one of the better solos I've heard in my life.

yea, that behemoth of a riff along with the drums and the single organ note (chord?) ending the track together makes it the best outro of the cd imo. (heir apparent is so early youve already forgotten about it anyways lol).

The only negative comment I can make about Hex Omega is it's too short.
When Watershed came out I was hoping this would be the next Watershed song (following Heir Apparent) Opeth would play live.
It's ended up being The Lotus Eater which was also a great choice, but I'm still hoping this makes it's way onto a future set list.
And yes that Solo is pretty good. Freddie is a great !!!

 

[Arasmas]

boring song, boring solo

 

[{-sapob-}]

I concur.

What wrong with Hex Omega I dig it, but I think Coil is best on the Cd honestly then eater, burden

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

A great song with a great solo, but lacks the essential Black Rose Immortal-esque brutal ending.
