Single Most Powerful moment in an Opeth song

[Koi]

Godhead's Lament, first solo, followed by 'Searching my way...'

agreed.

here are some other epic opeth moments:

Face of melinda: the distortion climax part
moonlapse vertigo: second part of the intro
bleak: the whole acoustic part up until the distortion climax part.
dirge for november: intro.
dirge for november: outro.
the moor: intro.
to rid the disease: the outro chord progression part.

Those staccato riffs at the end of Deliverance are pretty neat...

 

[Jackehh]

Blackwater Park

SICK LIAISONS RAISED THIS MONUMENTAL MAAAARK - THE SUN SETS FOREVER OVER BLACK WATER PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

April Ethereal

The rain was waving goodbye, and when the night came
The forest folded it's branches around me.
Something passed by, and I went into a dream.
She laughing and weeping at once: "TAKE ME AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY".


NOTHING compareable in any song in this world

this and ending of When and first clean part in godhead's lament

The final bars on Blackwater Park before the acoustic part.

 

[duvix]

Under The Weeping Moon from 7:50 onwards (the live version, not the studio version).

It's like an orgasm!

 

[Ninfix]

oh yeah, how the solo ends with the same melody that the vocals are sung in

YES. This is the best moment. When the guitars plays that melody. Oh, and the ending of GL.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

"THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU *almighty breath* RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA TIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN"

 

[Lateralus14]

According to half the posters, one moment = a riff lasting multiple bars, but w/e

 

[Words of Credence]

'Cause awesome things only last for what seems like a moment.

 

[Nocturnus_Draconis]

Well it's cool to talk about things you like I just perceived the point of the thread to have something to do with these little instances in music that just blow you away rather than just another fav riff thread.

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

The first acoustic passage in Heir Apparent is just so ominous and foreboding.

I'm also particularly fond of the opening chord in Baying of the Hounds. It's absolutely crushing pretty much foreshadows the badassery that is to follow.

 

[Tom_Vou]

Outside in the park
The days move along
And nothing ever changes

They have nothing on us
And we've always knew
That nothing ever changes

...

RISE TO SUBMISSION!!


simply outstanding
