Nectar and Grand Conjuration share a riff

[Dynomiteguy]

Funny observation I made, check Nectar at 8:49 and then check intro to The Grand Conjuration, and it is the same riff, although Nectars being an octave higher.
Thought you guys might find it interesting.
Cheers .

I guess there's a resemblence, though it's nothing compared to Nectar's intro riff and Advent's first verse riff.

 

[Kalabalik]

They do sound a bit like eachother, but that Nectar part also resembles the part at 02:16 in Demon of the Fall.

 

[liquidcow]

Hmmm.... similar-ish but not really the same...

 

[Simskre]

Conjuration and Porcelain Heart also share a riff

 

[Lenni]

One of the very last riffs on Nectar sounds (almost) exactly like the Demon of the Fall "Demon, Demon of the Fall!"-rif

 

[Vega Skater]

Yeah first thing I thought when I listened to the end of Nectar was 'I've heard this before', not knowing it was in Demon of the Fall as the Opeth catalogue was blurry at that stage. I just wish I heard Nectar first, because it sort of sours it

 

[Perdido]

Old, just for the record. There was a thread on this when either the single or GR was first released.

 

[Godhead59]

That part also has one of Opeth's worst bass lines ever!

 

[drowd]

Agreed. Totally ruins the riff

 

[Uaarkson]

wtf that bassline owns eod
