1. Rotting Spiritual Embodiment
2. Christening the Afterbirth
3. The Ibex Moon
4. Abolishment of Immaculate Serenity
5. Ethereal Misery
6. Unto Infinite Twilight / Majesty of Infernal Damnation
7. Sempiternal Pandemonium
8. Heaven Departed
9. Blasphemy
10. Once Holy Throne

11. Horns of Eradication
12. Feeble Existence
13. The Fallen Priest
14. The Stench of Crucifixion
15. Transcend into Absolute Dissolution
16. Legion of Dis

18. Elysium (Eternity Is Nigh)
19. Rites of the Locust

[Phylactery]

Missing “Impending Diabolical Conquest”! One of my favourite Incantation songs.

 

[CiG]

I love "Impedending Diabolical Conquest" myself.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I love it too but the two songs per album thing made it tricky. Disciples of Blasphemous Reprisal could have also easily been on there.

Carpathian Forest:

1. Sadomasochistic
2. Pierced Genitalia
3. Mask of the Slave
4. He's Turning Blue
5. Doomed to Walk the Earth as Slaves of the Living Dead
6. Warlord of Misanthropy
7. It's Darker Than You Think
8. Put to Sleep Like a Sick Animal!!!
9. Everyday I Must Suffer!
10. Shut Up, There Is No Excuse To Live...

[no country for old wainds]

nectar sucksssss though

I'm a bit of a sucker for that slap-bass in the outro. It was a real shame they got rid of their original bassist.

Otherwise, the song does kinda meander its way through the first few minutes. What would you replace it with?

 

[Phylactery]

You know I completely forgot there were rules involved in this and just made a list of tracks I like from my favourite Opeth albums. Not sure I could manage 24.

Oof, 12 Opeth albums = 24 tracks. Let me have a pop at this.

Disc 1

The Night & the Silent Water
Nectar
To Bid You Farewell

Disc 2

The Moor
Serenity Painted Death

Disc 3

White Cluster
Deliverance

Disc 4

Ghost of Perdition
Beneath the Mire
Hessian Peel


Holy freaking shit...

None of these songs I’ve left would make the cut for me, save perhaps The Moor and To Bid You Farewell. I’d even describe some of them as terrible (Nectar, Serenity Painted Death, Beneath the Mire, half of Ghost of Perdition, White Cluster).

I have a lot of love for my favourite Opeth tracks, but they’ve never been the most consistent band even within albums. Always a lot of dross included, save for perhaps MAYH, which is pretty consistently good. I find most of their non-metal tracks to be pretty uninspiring and dull. Take “Harvest” off BWP for example. And “Atonementl is just fucking horrible.

Glad to see you include “Dirge for November”, though. Which is really underrated I find and is easily one of their most genuinely moving tracks imo. But then you didn’t include “The Amen Corner” from MAYH, which is also huglely underrated in my experience. Some for the riffs in that one are massive.

The first two albums have my favourite general sound from the band and the best individual moments before they became more formulaic. And I honestly wish they’d kept the more folky accoustic sections instead of what they’d go on to do later. They appeal to me so much more.
