What Are You Listening To?

Superb!!! I love this!!! Right up my alley ...you sure know your music dude! I think the "brassy" instrument is a mellotron ? This band Sear Bliss is brilliant! It amazes me how much talent there is out there !!!! The growls and grunts of extreme metal turn some people off!(or scare the crap out of them) ..lol...I love it personally...adds to the atmosphere of the music!

I'm unsure if a Mellotron was played on the album, unless it was synthesized through the keyboard. To be honest I'm unsure exactly what a Mellotron is, but here's the list of band members and what instruments they played on the album.

Janos Barbarics - Guitars
Viktor Sheer - Guitars
Zoltan Schonberger - Drums
Gergley Szucs - Trombone, Trumpet, Keyboards
Andras Nagy - Vocals, Bass

I'm pretty sure it was either the trombone or trumpet that I heard in the song. But I'd like to get a second opinion if you feel like it. I'm going to try to explain the part where I hear it. I first heard it at 1:44. It goes in a down thrice, then goes up and down alternating twice, and up once pattern, it repeats that pattern for a while, at one point the volume of it gets louder in the right speaker, then after some repetitions of the pattern, it then does the same pattern at a higher pitch without that last upward movement. I think I may be slightly off though, particularly on the last iteration of the pattern before it goes to a higher pitch version. I don't know music theory or any of that stuff, so I can't say which exact notes they were. It also appears at 4:03. I was saying this because I was wondering if now does that sound like Trumpet or Mellotrone to you if you know the part I'm specifically thinking of?


Also, the only albums I really know well by Opeth are Blackwater Park (which I like a lot,) and Ghost Reveries (which I like a bit.)

That Opeth song you shared is a pretty good ballad. The keyboard solo is pretty cool in particular. I also liked the clean guitar solo near the end quite a bit too. The vocalist's performance was also pretty good like he usually does on the songs I know well by Opeth.


I'm currently listening to Roswell 47 by Hypocrisy. It's really simple sounding, and it was almost a bit of a put off for me when I first heard it. But upon further listens the song really grew on me. It's quite catchy in a good way actually.
