Opeth Songs That Annhilate

[Protected Witness]

While they definetly could be construed as "heavy," nothing really off the first two cd's really matches (to me) the "sick, crazy, annhilation heavy" quota that the other cd's have, but I'll give you the "other" option.

I almost put Drapery Falls on here cause the middle riff at about 5:50 is Opeth at the most evil, sickest level, but they tone it down for the rest of the song...

Eveyone always says Demon (that will probably take the commanding lead), but I think they have songs that top it on the "annhilation" scale.

I vote for Blackwater. Groovy heavy.

Wreath absolutely owns. That last orgy of riffage slaps me around like a red-headed step child.

I guess I'd have to say BWP, since the last part of the song (starting at about 7:43) is some truly devestating shit. I especially love the bit around 8 minutes when the slap bass (or whatever) kicks in. But from 9:42 on is when it really gets bad ass.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

As cliche as it is, I'll be the first to throw in for Demon. I think it tops all of em, although they all absolutely slay.

 

[O'blivion]

Karma or BWP

 

[DarkHawk]

I just said Demon of the Fall cause it makes me want to annihilate things when I hear that song and Im already pissed off. I just want to kill things.

 

[Dusk]

serenity painted death for me.


1:27 - excellent heavy riff.
5:28 - this whole section is the next level of crushing.
the chorus is pretty awesome too.

even the mellow prior to the 5:28 bit is one of opeths darker sounding mellow bits imo and reaaaallly sets up the 5:28 bit to crush you into a small pile of crushed bits. Excellent, excellent dynamics there i reckon.

Godhead's Lament is a beast, the best beast there is...

 

[Id]

I'll say the Leper Affinity because there's just something about that song that I fucking love.

 

[Ermz]

The Funeral Portrait annihilates on ALL levels.. but since you don't have that listed, I'll vote for the next best thing... The Leper Affinity.

Yes, The Leper Affinity owns.

 

[seventi]

Godhead's lament!

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Well, since The Funeral Portrait isn't in the list, I voted for Serenity Painted Death.
The middle section just makes me want to go out and kill things, it's so brutal. Especially the lyrics fit in there very well.

 

[GoufCustom]

I picked Master's Apprentice, but Demon of the Fall was definitely close.

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

Blackwater Park for sure! Masters Apprentices would be the next in line for me.

 

[no country for old wainds]

The Leper Affinity

That riff around 2:14.....Fuck yes.

Demon of the Fall is a close second.

 

[redblueyes]

I just can't choose.
I got dizzy even TRYING for 1 second...
A quick collage of sounds of the above mention tracks filled my head..... now I can't concentrate on work.

Totally. I was wondering how many other people would think the same as me on that.

I voted for WREATH because man, it kills! It just has this pitch black sound to it that is completely sick and malicious... it comes on strong, fast, and MEAN. Lets you know what kind of album you're in for.

Of course demon and the leper affinity are amazing (and slay beyond question).... but for me, WREATH is just the most aggressively twisted song of theirs I think of.

Blackwater Park annhilates all!

Heaviest and most intense song they've ever done, imo.

That riff that comes in right after the soft part just crushes everything in its path, and doesn't stop after that.......

 

[Whoracle1]

My favorites are Demon of the Fall and Funeral Portrait and since Demon was on the list i took that one.
