why circle of the tyrant??!!

[drumfoetus]

Anyone know why opeth put circle of the tyrant on an otherwise amazing album?

 

[osse87]

It's a cover done by them...

 

[Demilich]

It's a cover of Celtic Frost, who are supposed to be an amazingly influencial band, though I've never really gotten into them. I have a couple of albums, Morbid Tales-The Emperor's Return, and maybe one other.

You actually thought this was an Opeth song? *shakes head*

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Its an excellent cover, and a great addition to the album at that. I hear Celtic Frost influence in a lot of early Opeth especially.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Its not part of the album. Its a "bonus" track put on by the basterds at the record label hoping to trick old fans into rebuying the album. I hate that shit cuz 1)Its wrong to take advantage of fans (and yes I know Opeth had nothing to do with it) 2)The "bonus" tracks ruin the flows of albums, they should at least put like ten seconds of silence between the final track and the bonus...

 

[Blackwinged]

Which re-issue does it appear on? Anyway I think its a fantastic cover. Considering the originally is one of the most bad ass songs ever, and the fact that Opeth made it almost better is quite amazing. Hell maybe it is better. I sure like it.

blackwater park's bonus tracks were fuckin awesome, i loved Patterns II, still day was awesome as well

 

[Caelum Adustum]

What's especially dumb is that they put bonus tracks on a Prologue-Epilogue album.

But hey, I have one without bonus tracks so HA.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Only one I have with the "bonus" track is Orchid, its lame to have to hear that song after the perfect ending of TAIT, as for the actual song of Tyrants, its pretty decent, but nothing that good.

 

[StationaryTraveller]

I've heard both versions, and i think opeths version sounded better. i know you prob. think i'm saying that just cuz i'm an opeth fan, but the sound quality and the way they play the intro on a piano instead of the original distorted guitar sounded great.

 

[Brotherelf]

I have not yet bought any of the re-released albums, but I would like to have the songs on CD. What they really need to do is come out with a CD that has thier covers, & bonus track all on one...but that's too perfect I guess.

 

[Gin_from_the_bottle]

this song rules... quite possibly my favorite cover of all time... maybe with the exception of the man who sold the world by nirvana...

 

[synergy]

Is the Remember Tommorow cover on MAYH too?

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Is the Remember Tommorow cover on MAYH too?

Yep
