The Best Opeth Song Moment

Opeth is a Swedish heavy metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1990. Though the group has been through several personnel changes, singer, guitarist, and songwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt has remained Opeth's driving force throughout several years. While their style is firmly rooted in Scandinavian death metal, Opeth has consistently incorporated progressive, folk, blues, classical and jazz influences into their usually lengthy compositions. Many songs include acoustic guitar passages and strong dynamic shifts, as well as both death growls and clean vocals. Opeth rarely made live appearances supporting their first four albums; but since conducting their first world tour after the 2001 release of Blackwater Park, they have led several major world tours.
Opeth has released nine studio albums, three live DVDs, three live albums (two in conjunction with DVDs), and two boxsets. The band released its debut album Orchid in 1995. Although their eighth studio album, Ghost Reveries, was quite popular in the United States, Opeth did not experience major American commercial success until the 2008 release of their ninth studio album, Watershed, which peaked at number twenty-three on the Billboard 200, and topped the Finnish albums chart in its first week of release.

6:30 into Hessian Peel kicks so much ass, its pain could power a small city

[SniffSnaffSnugg]

@wiggaroo Hessian Peel = Shivers down my spine... so wonderful...

[jonesy97]

The piano solo at the end of The Leper Affinity. Fucking major, serious chills. The saddest piano I've ever heard. Like a funeral.

[SniffSnaffSnugg]

@jonesy97 Awwwwwwww... Days ago i managed to cut this wonderful piano solo from their song :D Amazing that you mentioned it !! I wonder how many of us remember this one...

[SniffSnaffSnugg]

The melodic parts are mostly the best in so many songs. Let us not forget the intro and the mighty clash that then backgrounds this vocals "And I embrace bereavement Everything beloved is shattered anyway I would devote myself to anyone I would accept any flaws I am too weak to resist Tension vibrating with horror Finding the outcast in my eyes Pushing nerves on a puppet Endless poison in my veins Clean intent now tainted with death" Truly a clean masterpiece for its own !!

The piece that comes after about 7:20 minutes in the Reverie/Harlequin Forest track is, for me, the best Opeth moment ever.

[SniffSnaffSnugg]

@Jljujubeats :D I always sing along with this one. Wonderful clear vocal parts and a masterpiece of songtext art.
