Most beutiful moment in prog metal.

[Luis]

No more than two please.

My choices are:


Violin Solo - Evergrey (Solitude Within) and In twilight and faded time Spirits cold, with no love , bells ring a lonely chime. Candle fires these lit dreams can't burn alone. (Candelight Fantasia).

No. It is those tracks in their entirety that make up the beauty.

Most beautiful moment in Prog Metal history: Symphony X is born

Most beautiful moment in a Prog Metal song: The less heavy instrumental Break in Divine Wings before Paradise Regained.

 

[The Yngster]

Pain of Salvation - Rope Ends
Porcupine Tree - Mellotron Scratch

Im a sucker for multiple vocal melodies

 

[Progbass]

DWOT - First bass solo
DT - Learning to live, the acoustic guitar solo and after that, when it progress to this great interplay between instruments.

I can list song after song in this thread, but I'll limit it to a few or so for now.

personally I think Pain Of Salvation has countless 'beautiful' moments in their songs such as:

Pain Of Salvation - Foreword (the vocal harmonies when they sing "I'm not afraid anymore, including the entire interlude with the solos and the 2nd interlude or verse or whatever you call it).

Pain Of Salvation - Leaving Entropia 12:5 version (the piano parts)

Pain Of Salvation - Reconciliation (the high pitched singing towards the end)

Ok now for other bands:

Symphony X - Odyssey (the ending with the Choir when Russell is singing "this is the end of my odyssey")

Symphony X - The Edge Of Forever (intro piano)

Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy (the quick break and beyond, right after the massive soloing towards the end of the song).

Symphony X - Awakenings (the intro)

Symphony X - Accolade II (the first pre-chorus with the "aaah AAAAH" vocals)

Alright enough SX for now

Opeth, like PoS has a million of them, but here are a few:

Opeth - When (the first interlude right after the solo)

Opeth - The Amen Corner (the first acoustic interlude)

Opeth - To Bid You Farewell (the entire song, especially the ending)

there's so much more I might take up the entire thread, but I'll leave it here for now.

I can make a long list but what comes to my mind first is:

Evergrey: Guitar solos of "mark of the triangle", which gives me goosebumps each time

 

[DoktorShred]

I can think of alot. But the one that really springs to mind is

Dream Theater -scarred, bridge ("Do you feel, you don't know me anymore..). That bit is soooo good. And the outro aswell.

 

[jdtrbn]

I've said it before and I say it again:
The Accolade's long instrumental part, especially when the piano comes in. This is the best moment in any music, and I'm not a die-hard Symphony X fan.

My second choice is Opeth's Godhead's Lament: "What would they care if I did stay..."

But it's so cruel to mention only two...

 

[Demonspell]

A few to start, that haven't been mentioned yet:

Symphony X - guitar solos in Communion And The Oracle, Through The Looking Glass chorus

Pain Of Salvation - Undertow (entire song), the closing section of People Passing By, chorus & intro melody of Morning On Earth

Evergrey - Carina's solo spot on Your Darkest Hour

Orphaned Land - Storm Still Rages Inside solos

Riverside - In Two Minds (entire song)

 

[bball_1523]

I forgot:

Death - Voice Of The Soul.....entire song

 

[ThornsOfSorrow]

I love the Spock's Beard album, "Snow".
