What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Brutally brilliant! Where do you get your music from? So many bands,,so little time !..lol

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.
