Yeah I love that tune.

^^^ Haha, penguin of the fall. :lol:

What are the leaks so far guys?? I've been gone for a while and the only one I have is the Grand Conjuration...

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Hey guys I bought Orchid 3 a week ago. IT IS AWSOME. I before that just had stacks and stacks of downloaded Opeth songs but Orchid is so good.


Dam straight. It says on the Opeth website that Da Farfalla did not fit the band on a person level but I think he is a better bassist then Martin. His lines are great.[/QUOTE]

As I recall, didn't Mikael write most of his bass lines, though?

Wow. The Ghost of Perdition is out. It's on Roadrunner Records website. It's ****ing amazing. I can't wait for Ghost Reveries.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]As I recall, didn't Mikael write most of his bass lines, though?[/QUOTE]

There was talk of this in the Opeth forums. Basically the last I saw, the thread had come to no conclusions.

I think we can figure this out by ourselves though.

Mike did write/play the bass in MAYH which was [I]WAY[/I] different than MR. With the major differences between most Opeth albums overall music, nothing is ever dumbed down.

The bass in MR was awesome, but with MAYH, it seems much simpler. For the most part, the guitar parts were completely different and still great at the same time (unlike bass).

What I'm trying to get at is that you can see drastic changes in Opeth's style, but the substance of their music remains. The bass in MAYH, however, was not in comparison with MR's. If Mike was able to write MR's lines, then he could have done something awesome with MAYH's too.



...but he didn't because I doubt he is able to make bass sex like MR.

I can't find it...

[QUOTE=ArC]Wow. I honestly didn't know that. Thats awesome.

I think its cool how on Blackwater Park, Deliverance, and ****ation, you can really see Steven's influence. The riffs, the vocals, and the keys. The Drapery Falls has one of my favorite Wilson influenced riffs. The lead part in the beginning of the song with the slide. Peter plays it while Mikael strums. It starts around 1:53.

Likewise, I could immediatly tell which song Mikael helped with on "Deadwing".[/QUOTE]


I didn't know that either!

You learn something new every day.

Can someone please link me to The Ghost of Perdition!

There ya go. :)

wow
RM is moving slow.

what are your thoughts on Opeth with Per Wiberg?
I love it, but I'm a keyboardist myself :p

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip][url]http://www.a2golf.org/images/me/ghost.mp3[/url]

There ya go. :)[/QUOTE]
Your my best friend.


Ever.

Hehe...the link was about 2 pages back, dude. ;)

I personally love Per in the band, but then again I'm somewhat of a proghead so it makes sense. ;) Keyboards rule.

I don't care, your still my best friend.

That song is incredible by the way, the acoustic section is awesome and Mike's vocals are like all screamy. I like it.

I just listened to ''The Grand Conjuration'' on Sirius.

eh, It was OK. Nothing Spectacular. I hope to God the rest of the Album doesn't derive from the mood in that Song.

/pray


Or maybe I just need to listen to it more - give it a chance to '"Grow'' on me.

I didn't care that much for that song either, but the Ghost is incredible.

soothing trance
colours fade
and disappear
ethereal light
showing me what i can do without

fading away
and leaving
long for sleep
closer now
lead the way into death

He just says it backwards. Took me a while to figure it out as well. At first as thought he was speaking swedish.

Thanks dude... How did you figer that out?

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Thanks dude... How did you figer that out?[/QUOTE]


I got that bored in school.

Wow, seems a lot happened since I was here.

I gave into temptation and I'm now dl'ing GoP.

Thoughts on it soon.

Ghost of Perdition owns.

The keyboards are great in the song, the riffs are wonderfull, and that growl is the best yet. Can't wait for the new album.

On another note, my Opeth discography is now complete after my trip to England, so I am very happy indeed.
