Opeth's Intro Song

[Ńiĸ1Ø1]

I'm sure that it has been posted before, but I couldn't find it anywhere. What's the name of the song that Opeth walk out to during a live show?

 

[L0bster]

i want to know to, the one for the heavey set

 

[AbsentFriend]

Good question.

Is it something they recorded??

 

[x3x opeth x2x]

before the heavy set sounds like the introduction music to the chicago bulls lol

 

[ChrisEmerson]

if mike is reading, could you shed some light on this? id be interested to know too.

Ha ha. The first time I saw them live last year, I was like, "Is that the Chicago Bulls' entrance music?" It's somewhat similiar.

 

[jaykeegan]

what ever it is it sounds fucking evil.

 

[osse87]

Yes, I really want to know what it's called.

 

[Demoke]

Me 2!

Likewise, it's pretty cool music (the intro to the heavy set).

It's music by the old german prog-rock band called Popol Vuh. The first one if "Mantra II" and the second one is "Through Pains to Heaven". They are both from "Nosferatu" soundtrack... not sure about year... maybe 1978 or something. Nice soundtrack in it's music entirety. Mike really love itm as I know.

^ Are you serious?

 

[Nailed Reaper]

If it was a sarcasm, I'm sorry for pulling out that old thread, it was my mistake. But I was serious, gee.

 

[Ällu]

Yeah that Popol Vuh thing is true. It's in the booklet of The Roundhouse Tapes.

edit: Nevermind... :------------d

That's some kickass stuff. A nice show of how dark medieval tones can be. Does any band nowadays has this kind of material out ?

 

[Le_Shrike]

The same melody is also found in Kleiner Krieger off of Einsjäger & Siebenjäger, where it serves as the intro. Not quite as ominous though, but still kickass.

Popol Vuh were quite awesome.

Why nowadays? Popol Vuh did quite many albums in the 70s that sound like this.

Since we are on the "what´s that song"-topic here, and I didn´t want to open an extra thread for it, does anybody know what song is played on the documentary of the Ghost Reveries-DVD, right after that part where Lopez plays this perfect long take and Mike jokes like "thats shit, what the hell are you doing?". Then there´s a cut and a new chapter starts, and some awesome sounding acoustic background music kicks in. It´s not an Opeth song.

Sorry if it has been asked before, I searched here but didn´t find anything.

edit: though the tracks i have could be mislabeled without me even knowing it
