Haunted Shores - Nocturnal Hours (Misha Mansoor Guitar Playthrough)

The official guitar playthrough for 'Nocturnal Hours' by Haunted Shores, performed by Misha Mansoor. Pre-save the new album 'Void' at lnk.to/hs-void
Nocturnal Hours:
This was actually a song that we tried to put together for Viscera, but we just couldn't quite nail the arrangement. We were messing with this tuning we jokingly refer to as "Scorlet" tuning because it's the minor version of the “Scarlet” tuning, thereby giving it a dark feel. We had no trouble coming up with a multitude of riffs, not to mention riffs and sections that flowed well into one another. However, we really struggled with an overall arrangement that didn't just feel like a riff salad, which was and still is a pet peeve of ours. We ditched "Song 3", as it was known back then, and almost forgot about it. As we were working on this album, we took a look at the project and we were able to see it from a different perspective, perhaps something that could have only been done by taking some time away from the song. The arrangement changed quite a bit, and maybe we were better equipped as songwriters to figure out the solution to this puzzle. The song started to take shape to the point where we felt it would be strong and different enough to be a suitable candidate for an album closer, it just needed a little something as a finishing touch. I think it was Mark's idea to get back in communication with the immensely talented Jørgen Munkeby, who played sax on “Blast Inc.” on the Viscera album, and he once again delivered well beyond our expectations. Sometimes all it takes is a little time and perspective.

Getting some real Blackwater Park vibes from this one ♥️ Alternate Song Title: Blackwater Mark

[@notdynomonkey]

Holy shit I was just thinking that then scrolled to your comment!!:)

[@Bandos501]

Bro was scrolling to see if anybody else thought this too!

[@sormedoce.]

as if opeth went back to their metal roots

[@djterminus]

Hahaha dude all of us are scrolling to see if anyone commented this yet.

[@vempirexful]

HA not alone I see lmao

[@choppyyy1]

Ahh, This scratches the itch for old opeth.

[@enoughnonsenseplease3780]

@Michael Lochlann have you listened to Next of Kin on Opeths latest record?

[@RohannvanRensburg]

@Michael Lochlann What's interesting though is that even Dan Swanö says Heritage is just Opeth without distortion. Their influences and overall sound aren't that different in many ways. I would say newer stuff is more influenced by traditional prog, sure, but also Turkish music and fusion more than anything.

[@marksteven4747]

Old opeth is and will always be the best, heaviest, intelligently written and just straight fuckin killer metal 🎸🦉🤟

[@isleofbelisle]

My arms your hearse ❤

Ting,Ting,TiTing,Ting,Ting !

[@TheDjentyOne]

Misha and mark are becoming one being full of djent , anger , and suave hair 😂🙌🏻

[@therealexpletive]

its covid hair. ive also been consumed by my noggin threads.

[@CameronBurris1]

Always amazed. Can never express or communicate in any way how these compositions impact my existence and the world of music. Hail Haunted Shores, Hail Periphery. Thank you!!!

[@jakegriffiths2k]

and most importantly, hail stan.

@@MishaMansoor love the playthrough man, evil as hell. Cannot wait for the new haunted shores and p5, its gonna be a good year!

[@polpottopg]

you can express that feeling... with your own music hehehe

[@jakegriffiths2k]

@@polpottopg I already do sir, would you like to experience it? 😈

[@fondfarewell2]

Misha looks way cooler with the long hair. Never realized how much I like sax over metal.

[@davidfaram4809]

If you are interested in hearing more metal with Sax check out the band "shrezzers" ! Great band 👌

[@beeefkurtains7805]

I'd also suggest Rivers of Nihil. The void from which no sound escapes is perfection

[@fondfarewell2]

Thanks for the suggestions, will check them out.

[@DandelionVolta]

The Mars Volta's The Bedlam in Goliath, not exactly metal but a very wild, loud album.

[@DandelionVolta]

and also TRAM which features Tosin and Javier from AAL

[@yourself88xbl]

These guys have the most unbelievably gorgeous instruments.

[@charlehpock]

I was just commenting to myself how fakkin CLEAN that Jackson looks

[@AndrewKola]

oh mate you haven’t seen his orange jackson, it a beaut 🤌🏽🤌🏽

[@seangherardi]

I love the complex chords in this song as well as the amount of arpeggiation used in the riffs. Guitars really do sound best when the focus is on the picking hand. Fade-to-LoFi at the end is also a beautiful touch, and makes the inspiration for this music quite clear. Hope we can buy a tab book soon!

[@guitarwi3rdo]

Saxophone is honestly a severely underrated and underutilized instrument in modern metal. I know there are a few recent tracks out but I really think we need more

[@boozalm3715]

It's fucking epic

[@OnShouldersOfGiants]

Rivers of Nihil "Where owls know my name"

[@guitarwi3rdo]

@@OnShouldersOfGiants not enough. We need more

[@SuperMikeroche]

I love when Misha powers up into his Hail Stan form. All the color dies and blastbeats never stop. It's Brutality personified 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kellrazor4369]

I've been in and around the death metal scene for 32 years and this dude is 100% legit. Take that torch and run with it young badass.

[@maxalaintwo3578]

He’s almost 40

[@Stillpoint23]

Ok, that's the first time I heard sax in a metal tune, and damn that was off the hook! Loved it!

[@GodBeforeMoney]

Have you heard violin in metal before? If not do yourself a favor and check out Ne Obliviscaris.

[@ryanduguay6262]

Tesseract has some sax 🎷 in there album altered state So does the faceless If ya like sax and metal now lol some good tunes

[@weenchops]

Rivers of nihil: where owls know my name.... Killer album front to back

[@sufficient__]

I can still never get over the sax solo (also played by jorgen munkeby) at the end of graves by caligua's horse

[@DirtyDemos]

0:01-1:27 = Opeth - Drapery Falls/ Wreath

[@kennethsmith5383]

Tonight on Bottom Gear Misher Mansir gets in the Chevy Tahoe and absolutely floors it into a cop car. This is his apology letter to the local force.

[@kennethsmith5383]

Sax belongs in metal.

[@blackheartscars]

oi hammond

[@blackheartscars]

bit schtewpid innit

[@ShoddyMussels706]

Ive not seen many complimenting the edit of this video. Its so well done!

[@stefanmccabe4705]

I don’t know what to say other than this is amazing. The ending 😂🤣. Reminds me of an older video when you guys were saying fans thought you weren’t culty enough.

[@Dehhloki]

Loved this album, specially this song!

[@adrianruvalcaba2896]

I wasn't really digging that sax solo until 4:15 that's a beautiful transition and section

[@therealexpletive]

its def very nice of a transition. almost ethereal.

[@keolahutchinson7687]

So awesome!!! Like always when Misha is involved. The rhythm guitar under the sax solo might be my favorite part. 👿

[@LePhyx]

I get some Opeth vibes from this one... Love it!

[@caladestine4540]

Got Opeth Blackwater vibes from this, but when the sax kicked in and things chilled out, massive Vangelis Blade Runner vibes

[@albinhelen514]

This intro is so beautiful

[@JasonRidesmoto]

Love the smooth saxophone followed by the Pentagrams and pure shreds.. Perfect

[@Yojimbo711]

This whole album's gonna be ultra epic

[@joshuasebastian8409]

Always amazed at the capacity of thought of those who know how to mind their own business. This level of dedication is certainly scarce. God forbid we spread our own message. Naw mean? 🤙

[@Hadri_ART]

That sax solo fits just perfectly😱💯

[@coolduke3000]

Epic! One of my friends just referred me to this band today and I am loving all the tracks so far.. ofc I am familiar with Misha and Periphery but did not realize he has another band which is great. Serious Opeth influence on this one which is my all time favorite band, also love The Drapery falls specifically, which I covered with a band long time back, also LOVE the low-fi part in the end.. seems like I found myself a new favorite band here!

[@VisionCrys]

Jesus Christ that ending was f-ing hilarious 🤣 😂 Thank you for that! Hail Stan! 😅 Oh yeah and the musical composition was absolutely beautiful. 😜 You guys never cease to amaze man. Kudos and Brava!

[@stevetorster]

ughhh those guitars look sooo good! and the visuals look incredible.

[@Mc_Helindo]

I can't resist. If I see Misha or Mark playing something, I push the like button.

[@AngelVivaldi]

🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥

[@TheHazoist]

Great pre-2002 Opeth influence on this track. Nice revisit after 20 years. If something is not broken, you shouldn't change it right?

[@nenostevens5176]

love the guitars, so cool to see the changes from one guitar to the next.

[@SUPARNA_WINGS]

I have no words! Absolutely love it!!

[@latavernedama6642]

In another timeline when Opeth meets modern Metal

[@angelopearce2420]

I love the flavour of the chord variations.Also, Jørgen Munkeby!!!A smooth sax solo in Death metal!!!

[@ericponthiaux4855]

Clearly the best from haunted shores . The sax solo is pure genius .

[@nickosiris2769]

Damn that axe is so epic. Sweet playthrough bro!!!

[@PerplexionOfficialIntnl-c8g]

I think Misha greatly re-developed himself as a musician through Haunted shores.

[@garrettmehl1427]

That transition at 4:59 really spoke to me

[@chriszaferes5984]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!

[@ZolFox]

LoL. The Stars of David instead of the Pentagrams at the end. Hilarious.

[@mikuspalmis]

Wow. With no expectations going in; upon listening, this elicited the kind of excitement and wonder that I used to feel from the Bulb days, but on an even higher level. Outstanding.

[@tidusx665]

Man, Misha really knows how to put out face tingling tones.

[@disappointedbiscuit3231]

Misha has changed his picking style :o

[@rafk8011]

brings back Opeth memories, you know what i mean, Opeth melodies got signature, i could almost taste, a mixture between cold winters, despair, and hope in the horizon.

[@balinhooofficial]

A lot has happened in that 5:51 that I will definitely need to revisit a few more times

[@kennyparker8644]

I looking forward to your new album

[@RohannvanRensburg]

Also please do a physical release of this album! I love the mad playing but what I find ends up lingering the most is the melancholic atmospheres you guys are able to create in songs like this and Norway José. Don't usually have synesthesia but I get some form with your chord progressions.

[@off6848]

Check out a band called Dopamine they have songs full of stuff like this

[@llewellynjefferson3068]

Gimme your natural gifts ya bastards hahaha complete recording every idea and thrust it upon us haha love it all 😁🤘❤❤❤
