Hey guys! Playing Opeth and going deeper into their music and guitar riffs I've noticed a lot of similarities between Opeth and Gojira. Maybe this is just me but I'm curious what do you reckon about it. By the way, the video was originally about 13 minutes long and so that this masterpiece would not be blocked I had to remove a bunch of awesome guitar riffs. Sorry but it wasn't up to me. However, I hope you'll enjoy watching and listening to this video and I'll provide the full version of Opeth riffs and other trimmed videos to my Patrons and RUclips members. Hug you!
kinda in the process of making a video like that. havent worked on it in a while. was going to do a video for tons of catgegories for opeth like Best growls, best clean vocals, best acoustic riffs, best heavy riffs, etc.

I’m a huge Opeth fan, have been for years. It’s funny though, I’ll go months without listening to them, they even slip my mind completely. Until a video like this pops up, and I’m reminded again of just how genuinely amazing this band is. Now I have to go through the discography again, and I can’t wait.
Titles video Top 10 Opeth Riffs, in description says it was really hard to narrow it down to 10 favorite riffs, ends up playing 284 riffs. . .perfection
@@dropd1039 Doesn't mean it's bad music, it's just not riff-focused. Give In Cauda Venenum a try, genuinely some of the most beautifully theatric songs to come from any band in a while and Mikael's clean vocals absolutely shine (especially in the Swedish version)
Pre-soft Opeth era is my favorite band of all time, been listening to them since Deliverance release and I always thought they were masters in their style. Great video man, wish you all the best
He has said multiple times that he writes by ear, meaning he just goes by what sounds good to him. I think that's a huge part of their sound, because most of it didn't follow any rules and often was atonal, but that just made it so much better
Dude. This is great list and I was delighted to see Serenity Painted Death included - that intro riff is one of my favorite heavy riffs of all time and I feel like it is really underrated.
Awesome video! Also I'm curious as to what you mean by the similarities you notice between Opeth's and Gojira's riffs. They're two of my favorite bands, but I personally find them very different. For example Gojira often use inverted power chords, gallops, tremolo picking, and sometimes tapping in their riffs, all stuff that Opeth rarely use. Also I'd say that Gojira is a lot more groove-oriented, while Opeth is more melodic, and their riffs are more "note-y" (I hope this makes sense). I'm interested in hearing your point of view.
As if I needed a reminder about how absolutely incredible Mikael and the boys are! One of my all time favorite bands ever of any genre. There is no one quite like them.
Opeth has written some of the best metal songs ever. Heir Apparent, Blackwater Park, Master's Apprencite, Ghost of Perdition to name a few, they are some of my go to for metal awesomeness
Maaaaan I was playing along with every riff, loving the choices, then you did me dirty throwing in the down tuned Baying of the Hounds lol. Dang it. Great choices, though it shows the greatness of Opeth that you've chosen like 2-5 riffs from 10 songs rather than just 10 straight riffs haha
My top 10: 1. Heir apparent 2. The funeral portrait 3. The moor 4. Ghost of perdition 5. In mist she was standing 6. Master's apprentices 7. Karma 8. Hessian peel 9. Blackwater park 10. Harlequin forest
Hey man.. I'm so fucking happy you made a top 10 Opeth riffs.. I'm eating ice cream rn and listening to this.. This is absolutely amazing my guy.. But making the list must've been hard since literally every Opeth riff is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.. Great video ❤️
Because of you I started using my pinkie instead of my ring finger to do power chords, I really like your style. Also it feels much better after I got used to it lol, thanks.
You skipped my favorite riff in serenity 😢 that solo/verse after the Tritones in 5/4 is pure guitar awesomeness. That right there is my all time Opeth riff
Typical Opeth's every song has 10 great riffs, yet I appreciate your job, man Btw, I wonder, how you could make this list, cause it's really hard, especially when it's Opeth

Here's an idea: Top Ten Opeth Acoustic Riffs
Death Whispered a Lullaby
To Bid Your Farewell
original idea
clean/acoustic
Dirge for November
kinda in the process of making a video like that. havent worked on it in a while. was going to do a video for tons of catgegories for opeth like Best growls, best clean vocals, best acoustic riffs, best heavy riffs, etc.
Top ten opeth riffs? Impossible when you have 10 sick riffs in one song
😂 (good point)
It doesn’t help that every album is just sick riffs 😂
I can make this top 10 only with Blackwater Park (The song, not the album).
Mikael Is a monster on guitar as well as in vocals. Definetely one of the most talented musicians we have up yo this day.
00:00 The Leper Affinity
01:01 The Funeral Portrait

Thank you for your good service good sir
@@mannyvelizofficial you r welcome kind sir
You missed Heir Apparent, Serenity Painted Death and Harlequin Forest
@@silverballs9399 thank you for reminding me kind sir
Thanks man.
Funreal 😂
I can’t be the only one who did the “UGH” at 9:59
Also guilty to it
Not 8:47 too?
How about 2:53?
Best song of all time
I did it.
I'm a simple man, when I see Opeth i click
me too
Me too

Im the exact same way. Then I binge too hard and have to take a break for a few months. Its a never ending cycle and I love it
Welcome back friend.
Same here, I came across this video and now its time to go through my cycle of favorite Opeth albums again!
Opeth has so many bangers that I have to always forget some of them and how badass they are
Honestly. I recently rediscovered how sick that "chorus" riff in Serenity Painted Death is

That Master's Apprentices riff is just...UGH, SO GOOD 🤤
Nice to find you here, dear Chopin. When I played your second sonata I knew you liked Opeth
3 From Blackwater Park
2 From Deliverance
2 From Ghost Reveries
1 From Watershed
2 From Still Life
1 From My Arms, Your Hearse
Amazing 😎
Notice 0 from after Watershed?

Its impossible to fit 10 Opeth riffs in one video, each Opeth song has at least 20 riffs lol
I'd add literally every riff from The Leper Affinity. That song is probably one of their best compositions yet IMO.
Probably why in most of the clips he played long parts of the song with multiple different riffs 🤣
@@him050 yeah exactly normal it would just be one riff per rank or clip. With Opeth you can’t do it that way
The Leper Affinity was my intro to Opeth. I really love the structure of that song
Nobody writes riffs like Mikael Akerfdt 🤘He has his own style
He has said multiple times that he writes by ear, meaning he just goes by what sounds good to him. I think that's a huge part of their sound, because most of it didn't follow any rules and often was atonal, but that just made it so much better
Wait, Opeth riffs on April's first?
I can believe it
No joke
LOL 😜
April Ethereal!
Ive truly never heard a band with such a plethora of innovative unique riffs that have a congruency thru out their discography.
Great, Opeth have so many amazing riifs you easily can make a part 2 of them
That's true!
There can be a series featuring Opeth riffs
@@differentangle1 that’s true too! 😂
Blackwater Park is out of this world man, damn still send chills
Dude. This is great list and I was delighted to see Serenity Painted Death included - that intro riff is one of my favorite heavy riffs of all time and I feel like it is really underrated.
Been listening to opeth loads recently and didnt realise there was no opeth riffs video, my wish has been answered, great vid :)
Hope you enjoyed it! More to come
That riff in The Funeral Portrait is so underappreciated even if it is not very complex. Makes me happy to hear it here!
man when that bass comes in during the 2nd intro of serenity painted death, that shit HITS
This bands riffs deserves second part (morningrise, herigate, damnation, still life, ghost reveries.. umm i guess all albums got sick riffs)
The only one i feel is missing is the first heavy riff on hessian peel. Easily the heaviest riff that will ever be written in e standard
Easily the greatest change up in a metal song ever, nothing will ever be as cool as "LIGHT COMES ONNNNNN"
THE SIGNAL FOR US TO ACT OUT OUR LIVES
It's so fucking good

Nailed the tone!!! Great playing too loved hearing all these riffs in one place.
Should've just been a cover of blackwater park
That would have been even longer than this video💀

Finally arrived ... Opeth! 🖤🤘
All for you 😈
😈😈😈
@@VERMILIONGOD XD
I've be waiting for this one. Opeth is my favorite band.
I was just listening to Opeth when I got notified about this... too coincidental my guy.
I read your mind, bro 👽
Very juicy selection of riffs, some of my all-time favourites as well.
I've been waiting for this video ever since I subscribed. Thank you, sir!
Thanks for your waiting buddy! I really appreciate that and hope you’re not disappointed. More to come so stay tuned!
So happy you uploaded this! Opeth is the shit. Sick playing man. 🤘🏻
Opeth has written some of the best metal songs ever. Heir Apparent, Blackwater Park, Master's Apprencite, Ghost of Perdition to name a few, they are some of my go to for metal awesomeness
What about a Top 10 Between the Buried and Me riffs?
Absolutely love that cheeky final riff in the Lepper Affinity!
The outro melody of Closure is the best thing Opeth has ever done imo.
Then the abrupt ending... Perfecting fitting for the theme of the song
Closure is a masterwork
Truly great, you chose a lot of riffs that would also be in my top list, and also played them great.
These are perfectly picked riffs dude great job
God I’m only at the first song and the riffs are so amazing and intricate!
Maaaaan I was playing along with every riff, loving the choices, then you did me dirty throwing in the down tuned Baying of the Hounds lol. Dang it. Great choices, though it shows the greatness of Opeth that you've chosen like 2-5 riffs from 10 songs rather than just 10 straight riffs haha
You sir have earned my subscription. Good stuff dude!!!
FUCK YEAH! Opeth is a riff machine that you just can easily make 5 more parts! Anyway, great video and great choise of riffs!
Killer vid. Transitions are smooooth! Well done!
My top 10:
1. Heir apparent
2. The funeral portrait
3. The moor
4. Ghost of perdition
5. In mist she was standing
6. Master's apprentices
7. Karma
8. Hessian peel
9. Blackwater park
10. Harlequin forest
Ah, finally some Opeth!!
You're amazing dude
Damn i really wanted The Grand Conjuration and Cusps of eternity in this list. Still fantastic video dude
I’ve never clicked so fast on seeing one of your top 10’s great job!
Yay! Thank you!
Serenity Painted Death somehow always slips my mind, man it really brings the heat
Its the heir apparent that gets me everytime... No other band made a riff that hard on standard tuning... Godddaaaam
Nice mix of eras in here - Still Life is a riff fest! Great job!
Windowpane's intro is one of the best riffs ever!
Hey man.. I'm so fucking happy you made a top 10 Opeth riffs.. I'm eating ice cream rn and listening to this.. This is absolutely amazing my guy.. But making the list must've been hard since literally every Opeth riff is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.. Great video ❤️
Thanks for your kind words bro!
@@VERMILIONGOD love you man... Do you play football?
Been waiting for this, epic!
Opeth is a synomynous to beauty
Omg you're so Opeth
Great video! We may need a part 2 though
This is your best video until now, man! Congrats! You should do a gojira video! Cheers!!!
Thanks for the idea but I already did Gojira 🙂
WHEN .....I gotta get a WHEN cover, great work bro, content is solid and pretty accurate
Very clean. Would have loved to see the spidery connecting licks in serenity painted death though, im sure you can pull them off.
The riff at blackwater park that starts at 5'15'' is also amazing, I was hoping you'd put that one also hahah... Anyways, great job!
Long life to Opeth!!!!!! Thanks man this is so fucking awesome, I love Opeth
It's my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed that.
@@VERMILIONGOD of course dude, great work man
I always know Gin-chan has a great music taste..
@@botarc Yes, now can you gimme money for my milkshakes?
@@mannyvelizofficial here take this 300 yen.
blackwater park at 1;15 in the song is my fav riff
Damn, it’s a great video , I was hoping for that funeral portrait riff that comes after the one you performed
Excellent video
I absolutely need another video with ghost of perdition Bleak and the drapery falls riffs
Great playing and sick tone on the hollow body.
I've been waiting for the video fkr a while now. Thank you
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@VERMILIONGOD I most definitely did!
Opeth have the best riffs
You know what you talking about my fellow Opeth Fan
I'm onboard...! Was looking for you, found you...! Very easy to see what you are doing... Excellent dude, show me the way...!!!
You play very well!
Great picks😍
Because of you I started using my pinkie instead of my ring finger to do power chords, I really like your style. Also it feels much better after I got used to it lol, thanks.
Wow, that's awesome and I'm very pleased. Thank you buddy!
A long awaited video
Ha I literally type "best Opeth riffs" and see this is just uploaded, well done!
Glad you find my video, buddy 🦄
Awesome Job!!! Part 2??
Man you did the first two albums really dirty
awesome vid man! Please do Parkway Drive next :)
Thanks! Will do!
Was hoping for some Moonlapse Vertigo but that was great
FINALLY instant like
Your are The Best Bro
Thanks
Knew Blackwater Park would be in there, one of the greatest riffs of all time for sure
Tbh that song is like a compilation of the most fire riffs ever
That’s blackwater park ending riff it’s so amazing, have goosebumps
Did you program this drums yourself? They’re amazing. 😂
My favorite Vermilion's video since now 😎💪
Holy shit. That was amazing
Одна из моих любимых групп,люблю смотреть видео с риффами. Твое одно из самых любимых, спасибо))
So groovy! Damn I like that riffs
Orchid has cool riffs to!!
And is a cool album to!!!
You skipped my favorite riff in serenity 😢 that solo/verse after the Tritones in 5/4 is pure guitar awesomeness. That right there is my all time Opeth riff
Great video! I agree with all these picks.
Have a question though - how do you guitar players get these drum tracks to play along with in your videos?
It's programmed
Needs more Apostle in Triumph and Advent. Good though still. I love Opeth riffs.
5:08 ive never heard that riff without the solo after :(
Nice riffing, but I'm dissapointed a bit because there weren't any tacos and diabolical beans while playing Baying of the hounds :P
