Music: Opium

Album: Irreligious
Lyrics by Fernando Ribeiro, Music by Moonspell
00:00 -> 00:12 - Play RIFF 1, twice, with some pick scrapes in the
beggining...
RIFF 1:

00:13 -> 00:25 - The drum kicks in, and RIFF 1 is played twice again,
acompanyed by the guitar that plays the E5 and D5 chords,
at the same time as the bassdrum, with heavy palm mutting.
00:26 -> 00:38 - Guitar plays RIFF 2, in clear tone... I think this is played
with a synth in the album...

| I think we all know where you can find .mp3 files of their songs... (p2p softwares...) Opium is nice song, from the Iriligious album, although I prefer the Wolfshade album much more. | |

| From the songs I've heard of this band. They sound very good. They sound a little like T.O.N to me, only alot harder. Does anyone know where I can listen to Mp3's of this band? I've been thinking of buying their stuff, but I want to listen to more of their stuff first [I want to know what album's I like the most]. If you know where I can get Mp3's of their stuff please post the website for me. I would appreciate it. | |

| I take this song as a love song. Opium is kind of metaphor of love and it's intoxicating force. Lovers are like fingers and between of them burns opium... | |
