I just got a sample of Baying of the Hounds it sounds pretty messed up, some major key singing too which sounds amazing and completely different than what Opeth have ever done.

I will upload to YSI right now.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]To me, they sound like what Morningrise tracks would sound like if they were re-recorded in the same environment.

Im really loving Deliverance at the moment, even if not every track is great, the title track, Master's Apprentices and Wreath are up there with my favourites[/QU
The songs in Morningrise have bigger acoustic parts and Opeth were in the direction of black metal while now they are a melodic\progressive\death metal band.However, both Deliverance and Morningrise kick ***!

Baying of the Hounds.

It's only a short sample though.

[QUOTE=.:~ Route 1 ~:.]After listening to all of my Opeth CD's (minus MAYH and Stilllife, I don't own them) I can say Orchid is definetly their best.[/QUOTE]

See, Orchid is the only one that I can't really get into. You don't own Still Life?! Agh! :eek:

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]See, Orchid is the only one that I can't really get into. You don't own Still Life?! Agh! :eek:[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Orchid is one of my favorites, but I like them all a lot.

Can someone please upload some Opeth for me? Choice songs off the albums except for Blackwater Park and Morningrise.

I'm uploading Deliverance, April Eternal, In the Mist She was Standing, and Serendy Painted Death from Deliverance, My Arms Your Hearse, Orchid, and Still Life respectfully.

I'll edit this post when they are done.

Thanks tons. :thumb:

I'm a casual Opeth fan, but I could go see them. The only problem would be transport and money. I'm currently broke. Oh well.

I'm currently loving Still Life. :)

Could I bug you for Demon Of The Fall too? Its unlikely i'll afford another Opeth album (excpet GR) before I see them, and I dont wanna feel a n00b when they play it.

No problem, it'll be a little bit though. Even on cable it takes awhile to upload five 10+ minute songs.

I ve seen them live and trust me it's worth the money!

I'll snag that one for you(demon of the fall), I'm sure he's got his hands full right now.

I also enjoy how a short opeth sample is 3 minutes long. Good find dude. Too bad the quality is poor.

Cheers for that. Its not a matter of if I get that album, but when. Orchid will come last though

So somone said Extol would suck opening for Opeth... What do they soundlike?

I've heard all of ghost of Perdition, it's all right. But the song "The Grand Conjuration" was n't all that good in my opinion.

info on extol:

looks decent: I exspected they would have some crappy nu-metal band opening up for them, yuck, Roadrunner

As long as you don't call DevilDriver nu-metal... They are the real deal. Opeth loves them too...

Here are a couple uploads. I'll add a track from ****ation and Deliverance in a little bit.

I liked choalchamber ;)
Opeth likes them? weird stuff

I've got a question : In "Bleak" off of "Blackwater Park", about 3:25 into the song, is that Mike singing? The part happens again later in the song as well.

"Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through me
You're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chest
And drains me away
Mist ripples round your thin white neck
And draws me a line
Cold fingers mark this dying wreck
This moment is mine"

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".

The piano by steven Wilson at the end of this song(The lepper affinity) is probably one of the highlights of BWP. He is a great musician!

the drapery falls has no piano, :-/

I think you mean the leper affinity

That's right, sorry! :thumb:

I was just about to say that. Anders had some pretty nice piano parts on Orchid. Silhouette is a great track.

true, and it took me dozens of listens to realize there is subtle keyboard playing on quite a few tracks of morningrise, esp. to bid you farewell.

Demon of the fall has cool keybards although it isn't Anders as he left the band after Morningrise

when has some keyboard too,
I really wonder how Opeth will sound with Per on keys as a regualr member.
I'm a keyboardist my self, so I really liked it when I first heard he was to join them permanently :)

I think he'll generally be involved in creating more atmosphere. I really hope they give him some solo sections though, hes a fantastic keyboardist.

I agree. Spiritual Beggars is a stuning band (i prefer them from Arch Enemy) and Per a very good keyboardist. Just wait until August 30th to see him with Opeth :D

They might put keyboard and piano in old songs aswell.

That would be cool.

Yeah! Even his playing on the Opeth DVD blew me away, really emotional player. I like what I've heard so far from GR.

I'm surprised at how many people aren't digging the new songs yet.The Grand Conjuration is understandable I guess, but Ghost of Perdition?That song is f[I]u[/I]ckin mind blowing.I'm sure everyone will come around eventually.It's very good material thus far.

I love both, personally.

I'm waiting for the album to hear them. I don't want to spoil my opinion on them before I can get good quality songs.

I'm listening to ghost of perdition right now and its easier to love, especially when compared to the grand conjuration, because its quality is markedly better :)

I've only listened to each track once and I'd be foolish judge them from only that, but I'm getting a fresh vibe from what I've heard so far and that's definitely a positive. I'll also probably be waiting for the album to truly *listen* to the tracks.

So, I've been band-whoring a bit recently, and I had a pretty promising jam today. The guy is a HUGE Opeth fan, and we seemed to be into alot of the same stuff, which was cool. Go me! :p

I second that, my good fellow!
