Similarities between Damnation/Sörskogen etc.

[Ermz]

So last night I was listening to Damnation VERY LOUD and loving it... and since I had the damned chorus to 'To Rid The Disease' in my head all night, it gave me time to think, and I realized that Mikael's vocal part is very reminescent to the Sörskogen song Mordet i Grottan's...

'Vem var det som mördade honom
Vem var det som tog hans liv
ingen vet, ens idag'

...chorus part.

Feel free to post any other similarities you've noticed.

It's intentionally the Sörskogen chrous

When I listen to To Rid the Disease I sing along the Sörskogen chorus to it

 

[IanDork107]

It's the exact same thing vocally and musically.

 

[digitalmetalcom]

Yup. That's true. Although I think Sorskogen is vastly inferior to "To Rid the Disease". That track has awful synths... He said he lifted that from Sorskogen.

 

[Ermz]

I disagree... I love Mordet i Grottan more than any Damnation track.

 

[ControlledChaos]

the synth playing on Mordet rocks...its tasteful and aurally pleasing to the max!

 

[Static]

Yeah, Mordet I Grottan is tops.

 

[threak]

I love both songs.but Mikeal said that Sorskogen was only a 1 song thing.And that there will not be anymore more material being recorded or released.

so stop crying.

 

[Dvoters]

Bah! How does everyone have Damnation so soon!

\m/

 

[Demonspell]

I like the keyboards on that track...very Camel-inspired...

I disagree... I love Mordet i Grottan more than any Damnation track.

Bah. That track is average at best. The synth sound is cheesy and it's exactly why I LIKE the mellotron on the new record. It WILL age well, and WON'T sounds overtly '70s in 10 years. Personally, much of '70s keyboards sound awful. There are few exceptions.

Sorry for being one fucking rookie, but I don't know a thing about the Sörskogen project and I see posts about it here all the time. Since I am a huge fan of Opeth since November and have posted here a while I just wanted to know something about it. Could anybody tell me?

Its a side thing Mikael did with Dan swanö... as you´ve problably gathered its 70´s inspired prog... only one song though titled Mördet i grottan (sp?) you can probalby get it at Kazaa or dc++

 

[Duvall]

It's fucking amazing..

That song helped me through some really hard times.

No, wait. it didn't, but I do know how to sing it in Swedish.
