[QUOTE=Flynn]:lol: yeah. When I first heard [I]Demon Of The Fall[/I], I instantly came to the conclusion that the intro had the most evil sounding vocals ever. I still think that. I like the way he releases his voice after the line ''And you saw nothing ughhh'' That's awesome.[/QUOTE]
that line sounds' i would say, not evil but demonic . scarry song.

Blackwater Park Is a good first album to get into opeth more, But My Arms, YOur Hearse is great with me.

Demon of the Fall doesn't have nearly the most evil sounding vocals ever... I think probably the intro to [I]Act of Depression[/I] by Underoath... that stuff just sounds twisted... Akerfeldt is more demonic sounding than evil sounding like Biancazurri said.

demonic
adj : extremely evil or cruel; expressive of cruelty or befitting hell

*shrug* I sort of know what you mean though.

[QUOTE=ben101]For Xmas i got opeths, ghost Reveries, but I want to get another album anyone have any recomendations?[/QUOTE]
Any and all, but I highly suggest Morningrise.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Any and all, but I highly suggest Morningrise.[/QUOTE]

Morningrise after Ghost Reveries? But they... sound so different. He might not even like it.

[QUOTE=Shadius]Morningrise after Ghost Reveries? But they... sound so different. He might not even like it.[/QUOTE]
The difference isn't that great. I actually think he might like Morningrise more.

The difference is huge. Opeth sounds nothing like that now.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]The difference is huge. Opeth sounds nothing like that now.[/QUOTE]
The growling is differen,t but guitar wise the difference really isn't that big.

Opeth suks a huge white tennis ball and all u noobs kno it...

This post has ban written all over it...

I can't wait to see how this turns out...

Man, I hope you have a good doctor. :lol:

Next Opeth album should be BWP.

Morningrise sounds COMPLETELY different from Ghost Reveries, are you joking? The guitars sound completely different, and not just cause of the production either.

All the bold is why you are an idiot.

Im pretty sure you don't know what it means to knock someone up.

Im pretty sure the dude is just crying for attention

I was listening to Morningrise while doing my science project... made it a lot less boring :)

If I listen to music while doing homework I end up paying more attention to the music and never get anything done. I think mainly because I am a musician and I pay a lot attention to each individual instrument.

Thats how i am man. I bring music to class all the time, either im being distracted by the music or im worrying how much power is left in the battery haha

I have one question for someone really informed, Was The mixing for Morningrise rushed? I've noticed some parts seemed badly mixed.

i jus took the which metakl band are you test and im opeth, you guys should take it and see if you are too.

Im Iced Earth man. It says i like fantasy but i picked symbolic. I took the what genre are you test and im death metal fortunately

I think some of Opeth's best growls/screams are:
April Ethereal beginning- "it was me..."
Black Rose Immortal at the end- the epic scream
Demon of the Fall- The famous scream after first acoustic part
Masters Apprentices- "There is a voice calling for me..."
Bleak- "Dying... I am dying fast inside your tears"
Karma- screams at the very end

I got Opeth in that. I chose Growl/Clean vocals, Technical style, etc...

I think "Moving... I am moving closer to your side" bit is the best growl in that song.

I've noticed that too. I think Orchid sounds slightly better than Morningrise, mostly due to the bass mixing in parts of Morningrise. For example, on Black Rose Immortal, during the intro there's this bass tapping part, and it's panned completely to the right with this phaser effect.. it sounds terrible.

Yeah, I tried explaining what I meant in the Underoath part... Dallas Taylor's vocals (on the first two albums) sound kind of twisted and dark, whereas Mikael Akerfeldt's vocals sound like something chaotic and scary.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]haha yep. I have been trying to work on bring my volume up with out losing the tone.[/QUOTE]


haha It's hard isn't it? I have been practicing that for almost a year now, getting nowhere basically. I can get my voice to sound good with mods, but screw that, I want a good growl through dead air.

Best growls...

Smiling in the midst of the moor (Nectar)

The rain was waving goodbye (April Ethereal)

Silent dance with death (Demon of the Fall)

Demon of the fall (")

Outcast with dogmas forged below/she is waterdrops over the pyre (The Moor)

White face, haggard grin etc (Serenity Painted Death)

The sun sets forever (Blackwater Park)

The whole beginning part of By The Pain I See In Others with the acoustic part has the most disgustingly awesome Mikael growl ever

I can't get my growls to sound good through a microphone. I sound good normally, but recorded I have virtually no low end, just a silly-sounding rasp. I'm starting to think it's my microphone (I have a condenser mic, don't know if that makes a difference), because all the techniques I try don't give me different results. I've really never been able to scream.

My growls sound terrible, but it's still fun to go along with the music.

[QUOTE=Jude]The sun sets forever (Blackwater Park)[/QUOTE]

That's one of the best moments on the entire album.

Yeah it's probably the mic. Get a decent mic to hit the lows you want. I bought a cheap one from Radio Shack, it's alright for what I paid for it I guess, but I definately need an upgrade. I'd like to get something like this:

Just listened to Orchid. It's so amazing, really... way too underrated by many fans and also just in general.

My dad just bought an M-Audio Solaris mic from Ebay...as soon as we figure out how to get it working, hopefully that will make my vocals sound better. Either that, or it's the horribly whisper sounding ones I get through my computer, or the superuber horrid production ones through my iPod mic.
