weirdest intro to an opeth song?

[chaveta]

definitely The Apostle In Triumph... amazing intro, yet a bit weird, sounds really middle eastern, its awesome though.

demon of the fall noise...haha reminds me on nevermore ophidian.....

 

[chaveta]

i always wondered if that noise is something played backwards? cuz Mike's screams sound like going from end to beginning...

 

[Morningrise]

That's what it is chaveta.
I think the intro to By the Pain I See in Others is really odd. The riff is definately more groove-oriented than their other stuff, and the fade in is weird.

i am the masta.

Not a real intro...

 

[chaveta]

well, i would say so, because its not exactly "attached" to the song, or is that your reason for saying its not an intro?

 

[Protected Witness]

It's the end of Requeim. It's a mastering fuckup. There was more than a second of silence, so it got attached to the next track.

So really, it's an outro.

 

[chaveta]

ohhh yeah i think i read that somewhere... i think in the "session diary" for orchid in opeth.com

i think its a wonderful mastering fuck-up though

 

[Useful Idiot]

Karma, and I don't particularly like it.

 

[Psycho_mantis18]

I think The Moor has pretty interesting intro.

 

[Demonspell]

The Leper Affinity

 

[Parasite]

BTPISIO. I hate it just like I hate most of the song. It's the most un-Opeth song in their catalogue if you ask me.

nice avatar....what was the guys name...the damned or smth...pretty strong black creature!

 

[Dark Life Dying]

'Demon of the fall' has the weirdest intro....And 'By the pain I see in others' has a cool intro, I kinda like it...

 

[Demilich]

Fade-in intros on album-opening tracks like The Moor and The Leper Affinity make me wish I was rotting in a grave six feet under the earth. Honestly, I feel like skipping both of these tracks most of the time, just because of their annoying intros, though I love both of the songs.
If The Moor in particular began immediately w/ the screaming that comes after the slow intro, it would completely change the pace of the album and make it a much more enjoyable listening experience for me.

EDIT:
On the other hand, though I don't particularly like Wreath, it's intro is so gripping, it sets a stage for the album and draws in the listener. Similarly, the intro to In the Mist She Was Standing's fast pace is gripping enough that I don't lose interest before the song properly begins. Oddly, Advent and Prologue don't bother me at all....
Guess i'm just fucked in the head.

I don't believe in the word "weird" It is a term that people use when they don't understand something eg. a David Lynch film

Therefore I don't think any intro is "weird" but some are interesting.
