Song endings

[Vamos]

Sorry if this has been done before. What is your favorite Opeth song ending?

I really like how Bleak ends and also Blackwater Park, The Grand Conjuration and the Baying of the Hounds. I know there are others, but those are the first that come to mind.

Blackwater Park has an epic, driving ending but is otherwise a mediocre song. I'd also agree with the ending of Bleak, the style of which I'd like to hear more in Opeth's future work. My favorite though, is the ending to April Ethereal.

Just listen to Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral. PPPPPPP

I forgot what I said in the other thread like this a couple months ago, probably April Ethereal, When, and Moonlapse Vertigo. Baying of the Hounds has a great outro going until the stompy last couple measures which undermine the awesomeness of the rest of the outro (they shouldn't have ended it right there).

 

[IamReptar]

The Baying of the Hounds ending is great.

my arms your hearse has the best endings. looks like they spent a lot of time on that.

.

been saying this for years. At least half the songs end in fucking epic ways.

 

[wankerness]

Probably has something to do with how it's their best album

 

[Nichtsicher]

Demon of the Fall, The Amen Corner or When

 

[wankerness]

Oh, Demon of the Fall would also be on my list. That outro is orgasmic.

 

[daz436]

April Ethereal & When have the best Outros. April Ethereal wins imo.

white cluster

 

[Pethical]

deff mayh

 

[tgrude]

I would say; Bleak and BRI. - Very Evil!

From the top of my head yo:

The Leper Affinity ending: First the guitarlead is so nice and then the epic grand piano!!

Harlequin Forest ending: Love that outro more than deliverance outro.

 

[Black Session]

well the Deliverance outro is by far the most amazing ending of a song ... it's getting a bit cliché perhaps, but it still is

Personally I think it's too long. But it was really whip-ass when I first heard it.

 

[BRI]

A Fair Judgement
Beneath the Mire

 

[Dän]

I agree. That syncopated part was stuck in my head for a while upon my first listen. The end to BRI and In the midst.. are really great as well, expecially In the Midst.

 

[opeth8]

Yes, Deliverance !!!

Demon of the Fall is also really sweet

Epilogue, while not a full typical 8-10 minute song reaches a beautiful climax at the end.

 

[Soilworker]

whats that one that ends with the huge guitar/drum interplay? and the bass is like doing like inverted 5ths and minor scale runs and shit?

I like that one.
