in mist she was standing

[Punisher]

i seriously think it's the most brutal opeth song, ever. it's just so pissed off throughout the song (with some mellow parts granted) and their new brutal stuff don't share the same passion... whos with me?=

 

[bleedingskeptic]

i don't think its really brutal. i do think its one badass song nontheless.

 

[Punisher]

come on now!! the part where he sings "GIVING WINGS TO MY STALLION" is at least! badass? indeed. easily my fave.

mayhem? aroo? eh. brutal schmutal.

I beg to differ. IMSWS is like a lump of sugar doused with honey. It's all flowery and shit (imo)

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I'm starting to get real into ITMSWS, especialy the soft phsycidelic part about six minutes in. Theres a couple semi-brutal parts, but they don't compare to the begining of "When" or "Demon of the Fall" IMO.

Emotionally it's one of their most romantic songs. What makes it brutal is how the vocals are done, I think.

well, i hate mayhem. so, i share the same feelings...


but i have to say songs like demon of the fall, when and karma are much heavier. but yes the part you mentioned in IMSWS pumps a high dosage of adrenaline in my veins, true.

There's not much that can be compared to the beauty of "in mist she was standing" kickass song!

I think it's very old-school metally.

I could never figure out if there was a story to Orchid?
Or the storys of the individual songs, I know Morning Rise deals with Death and shit and I know the storys of Still Life and My Arms Your Hearse but I could never figure out Orchid

My thoughts are....the last three minutes is most most "TRIUMPHANT" sounding minutes in any of their songs..
Does anyone else agree?
Not nessecarily the most brutal....(infact definitely not, BWP is much more brutal)....but very triumnphant

I especially like that guitar melody at the end of the song. how do you call it...."gives me the chills"? ;-)

This is the first ever Opeth song I heard. It hooked me straight away and I've been into Opeth ever since. The initial riff just drew me in and I'd have to say its one of my faviroute Opeth songs. The melodys are just so haunting on this track. I'd have to say this is one of the most atmospheric tracks I've heard...especially that middle and acoustic section with all the distortion and the outtro.
