Ok everyone who is an Opethian here should know exactly what I am talking about, yes alot of music gives me those chills and makes the hair on my neck stand up, but nothing comes close to the chills Opeth's music gives me. Im talking about those moments that make you proud to be alive to witness and hear something so amazing and beautiful. And that relate to you in such a way, that you swear the words are speaking to you. And also those moments that are so eXtreme and Brutal that just make the hair on your neck stand up, its like your listening to satan himself screaming his heart out. The Pure evil and insanity parts, that just make you wanna headbang your head right off your shoulders and flush out all your anger and emotions. These are the moments that I live for, and mean everything too me. So I have come up of a list about 10 favourite special chills/ moments here they are as follows
In No Order
Demon Of The Fall- RUNAWAY, RUNAWAY, RUNAWAY, Just one second, and I was left with nothing, her fragrance, still pulsating threw damp air, And that day came to an end, And she had lost in me, her credence- I think this is the greatest soft vocal opeth moment of all time, It has the most emotion and it just relates to me exactly, It is purely amazing. And that riff is just beautiful.
Ghost of Perdition-6:30, That fucking riff Is fucking brutal folks, WOW!!! GHOST OF PERDITION!!!! A SAINT'S PREMONITIONS UNCLEAR, KEEPER OF HOLY HORDES, KEEPER OF HOLY WHORES OOOOO!!!! Incredible, To me that is Mikaels greatest death metal moment, this is when his voice was 100 percent perfect, soft and heavy. Fucking brutal. Satan himself couldnt have sang that more evil.
Black Rose Immortal- After the first Solo- Eyes Attatched to Your Mute portrait, We Spoke only through Thoughts, Together we gazed, awaited, hours brought thirst and the rising sun. WOW and the guitar part that follows after, The most beautiful thing I have ever heard folks. One of Opeths greatest songs of all time and you can tell why. That Accoustic part just brings a tear to your eye and makes it unbeliveable how these guys can create MUSIC this perfect. My favourite part is- Sunbirds Leave Their Dark Recesses, Shadows, Glid the archways. Do Not Turn Your Face Towards Me, Confronting Me With MY Loneliness, You Are In A Forest Unknown, The Secret Orchard, And Your Voice Is Vast And Achromatic, But Still So.....Precious!! My favourite Soft opeth moment.
To Bid You Farewell- I Am Awaiting The Sunrise, Gazing Modestly Through The Coldest Morning, Once it Came You Lied, Embracing Us Over, Autumns Proud Treetop WOW when that vocal line comes in I totally breathe that and feel that more than anything, This song was the first Opeth song that I related to so much and meant everything to me, Still will always be my favourite ballad. This song just says it all. And to this day it still is just as amazing. Never forget it. And now on to that first distorted riff, Holy shit up there with one of the top riffs of all time, Never heard anything with more emotion than that lick. It just fits with the song so perfectly and when it comes in its all about the way you headbang too it, DEVOTION ELUDES!!!! AND IN SADNESS I LUMBER!!! IN MY OWN ASHES!!, I AM STANDING WITHOUT A SOUL! Wow. What else can I say? .....She wept and Whispered I KNOW!! And for the last part at the end of the song, Beautiful!
The Night And The Silent Water- Am I Like Them?, Those Who Mourn And Turn Away, Those Who Would Give Anything To See You Again, If Only For Another Second. Another perfect moment that speaks to me in a way that I swear it was meant for me. Another all time Greats! Everytime I play guitar the first Song I always play all the way threw has to be This song, I dont know why its just a habit now I cant start without it. YOU SLEEP IN THE NIGHT YET THE NIGHT AND THE SILENT WATER, STILL SO DARK!!!!! I fucking love the whispering bit there, Very original and amazing. Another song that means alot.
The Leper Affinity- LOST ARE DAYS OF SPRING, YOU SIGHTED!! LET ME IN. Keep the beast Inside, Shackled within my hide, Screaming out too late, Losing to my hate. Grew TOGETHER with your SKIN, AND PACE THE TRAILS OF SIN!! WOW another masterpiece, this song has it all, everything you could ask for, Up there for one of the best of all time. Especially that one riff thats fucking so hard to play and sing at the same time hahha I cant do it yet, Only one or the other. One of the best opeth riffs ever
The Drapery Falls- Yet Another Masterpiece, The song is the greatest combination of beauty and the beast, beautiful and brutality, perfect combination. The whole song pretty much but especially the beginning riff, that 8-10-12 chord WOW the saddest chord I have ever played. And especially the one accoustic part- Spiraling to the ground below, like autumn leaves left in the way to fade away!!!!, Amazing!!
A Fair Judgement- The whole song is completely beautiful and that riff at the end is pure evil, but that one soft moment in about 4 mins 30 seconds is one of my favourites of all time. Speaks to me in a way I cant believe. LEAVE IT BE, IT WAS MEANT FOR ME, SOUL SACRIFICE, FORGOT THE ADVICE, LOST TRACK OF TIME, IN A FLURRY OF SMOKE, WAITING ANXIETY, A FAIR JUDGEMENT IS SERVED WOW!!!! can't beat those lyrics folks, get any deeper and more meaningful than that.
Master's Apprentices- This song is easily one of Opeth's heaviest and a great masterpiece. That riff at the beginning is fucking amazing, the devil himself couldn't have wrote that, Only the great Mikael! That one part is so brutal, about 7:46, HOLEEE FUCK!!! One of his best vocals of all time, Totally shocks you, so emotion in the accoustic part then out of nowhere it punches you in the face with those brutal vocals!!
The Moor- One of Opeth's best of all time, Everything about this song is completely perfect, another great opener like is that such a shock! Fucking every album starts the best and cant beat them!, Im especially talking about the beginning of the Moor, That beginning riff and the 2 screams going at the same time, Oh my fucking!! I can actually here his vocals coming from the depths of hell, by his lungs I mean! So fucking heavy right there folks, just gets heavier and heavier as we go along. Than blasts into that soft part, PALE TOUCH!!! WOW PURE MASTERPIECE
