The Grand Conjuration

[The Jungle]

In the song The Grand Conjuration, has anyone noticed the whispering voice starting around 7:50 and stretching up to about 8:36? As it gets to the end there is more than one voice I think. Does anyone know what they're saying? Or can anyone at least tell what it is that they're saying?

 

[narcoleptic haze]

Actually, someone mentioned in the Backmasking thread that if Opeth did it we'd (probably) all love it.

I never really thought about it before, but those whistpers sound reversed to me. In which case, no I don't know what they're saying.

Maybe try reversing the track?

 

[BreathingShadow]

i wouldnt stay up at night thinking about it

^Yes you would, because they are satanic messages warping your mind and subconsciously making you a servant of the dark master.

 

[The Jungle]

yeah! what that guy said.

 

[Dän]

Yeh theres whispering there playing backwards for sure, dunno what it is though

 

[Towedwart]

He's reading "Mary Had a Little Lamb." No biggie.

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

If you turn it backwards, hes pretty much just saying lines from the first verse... "Heathen Key.." and stuff like that..

 

[Irja]

it is really strange...The first time i noticed that i thought that it was a smart trick of the band but then i saw an interview where Mikael told that in the album where voices that he was pretty sure he didn't hear at the recording session and gor that the album was named like that

do we know what are those voices telling??

 

[BreathingShadow]

^Yes you would, because they are satanic messages warping your mind and subconsciously making you a servant of the dark master.

thats hilarious

Reversed Grand Conjuration

The only things I can hear are : Reverrrrsssseee Reverssseeee and Heathen Key

 

[Towedwart]

They constructed the song in a way in which it sounds good backwards, heh. Most songs sound liek crap when played backwards.

 

[Mr. Bland]

It kind of gives me the chills....

But what I heard was
"Heathen key
Round my neck

This poetry
Our blasphemy"

and thats all.

Pretty cool.....

 

[Opethian666]

I once reversed a song I made and slowed it down and the result sounded better than the original

 

[Disasters apprentices]

I can't hear shit... >_>

 

[Silent Malevolence]

The song sounds so much more evil in reverse...

 

[Porksoda]

I swear at about 45 secs in that clip I hear "spooge!"

 

[An Absent Friend]

Damn , yeah it's better that way...Mikey Mikey

 

[Lord of Guitar]

Man, this song played backwards is some trippy shit. Im going to try listening to it when im under the influence sometime.
