You have to download the Emule program...it's a P2P file sharing program similar to Limewire, etc. Cool avatar, btw...what's it from?

Det_Nosnip 10-13-2006 10:20 PM

[QUOTE=Knifeboy;13432478]The file is sent[/QUOTE]

Cool, I got it....thanks alot, man! Unfortunately, I've had a whole lot of...no time to work on stuff lately.

My Arms, Your Hearse is genius.

Especially Karma.

That song is great, one of my favorites. The drums are sooo damn good.

Personally Ive always found Karma one of the weaker tracks on MAYH, Im more of a fan of April Ethereal. I think the Amen Corner is underated - its not one of the highlights of the album, but its a solid Opeth tracks with great riffs and lyrics.

Eliminator 10-14-2006 10:25 AM

Opeth played in my backyard last night.

I'm really digging Epilogue right now. What a powerful way to end that album.

Tis the cover of Ghosts Of Loss by Swallow The Sun. Absolutely terrific doom album.

Ah, ok...man, now I gotta download more stuff. :mad:

Yeah Epilogue is great. Even though I don't listen to it as much as I should.

So I finally got around to learning all of the bass parts in The Leper Affinity. What a fun song to play with.

Oh boy yes. It tires my hand a lot, and I can't really sing the "I am beyond death, mdist this dreaming affinity... yabadda" part and play it at the same time. Or make my hands work at the acoustic, mellow part in a solid way.

On a related note, The growled section of Moonlapse Vertigo is actually pretty play-sing-along, but I can't get around it yet. =[

sup a lot of new people.

There are a bunch of tritone parts in that song.

You never realize how much you suck until you try learning other people's songs. :(

Do you know what's worse than that?

Not having an idea of what a tritone is lolol

*wikis*

beso negro 10-14-2006 03:14 PM

a tritone is an augmented 4th or diminished 5th. If you play guitar, play this:

---
---
-10
-9-
-8-
---

that's the tritone. The church banned the tritone hundreds of years ago because they hated the sound. It was coined " the devil's interval"

Opeth uses it in many songs.

Eliminator 10-14-2006 03:15 PM

Probably most obvious use is in the song "Black Sabbath".

TojesDolan 10-14-2006 03:22 PM

AH, Diabolus in Musica.

Yes, the second riff in Deliverance, for instance. Good, I couldn't find a good explanation of the fuggin' tritone on the internets. Thanks. Here have some tofu you two.

Dr. Jake Destructo 10-14-2006 04:04 PM

A better way to remember a tritone(at least for me) is just to think of a 1.5-step scale. :thumb:

1.5 steps = 3 semitones or a tritone

Duman 10-14-2006 04:06 PM

Purple haaaaze!

(=tritone)

Eliminator 10-14-2006 07:17 PM

[i]Still Life[/i]'s clean/acoustic parts seem a lot more jazzy than the stuff on their other albums.

Is that seriously true? I find it hard to believe. Just because they don't like the sound they label it sinful?

Eliminator 10-14-2006 10:22 PM

I'm pretty sure that they actually thought it would conjure demons.

Then again, they considered the 3rd a dissonance.

Toaster 10-14-2006 10:31 PM

That's pretty stupid.

A fifth can be dissonant as well, anyway. For example if you're playing in a key with a flat 2nd note (can't remember any specific modes), and you play a fifth harmony on the fifth note of the scale, you'll be playing the natural 2nd rather than the flat 2nd, therefore creating dissonance.

Example of this: Opeth- Death Whispered a Lullaby

When he says "where the [I]lost[/I] souls hide" he sings the natural second of the minor scale.. even though the acoustic had clearly established a flatted second tonality.

That really doesn't have anything to do with fifths but that pretty much ruins the song for me.

Just while I'm on that, when he says "Never return from this place" in Hope Leaves, the "never" is totally off key and pretty much ruins the song for me.

:p

Some of them do, while others seem much more folk-sounding. It's really unique. I love it.

Stormrider 10-14-2006 10:42 PM

Still Life Acoustics really are good. But, Opeth acoustics in general are always good.
