Xup people!
A few days ago I had the opportunity to assist to an Opeth concert... and I have to say the experience was AMAZING! I've always liked Opeth but being in a concert took me to another level (with no drugs whatsoever...).
The concert took about 2 hours and they performed many different songs, such as "Black Water Park", "Deliverance", "Windowpane", "Demon of the Fall", among many others. My favorite one was Black Water Park anyway... though they closed the show with Deliverance.
During the presentation the vocalist (Mikael), talked with many fellows in the crowd and even had them shut up (hehehee... joking of course)... and he demonstrated a different charisma than what is known in Metal groups.
Their presentation made me remember a legendary Metal band named"Death", but I am not sure why... anyway it was totally ass kicking!
Their performance was absolutely awesome and the concert was great, though the band that was supposed to open the show didn't performed because their car/bus (whatever), didn't make it to the place.
In case you don't know...
Opeth is a progressive death metal band from Sweden. Opeth adds several lighter elements to their music, such as acoustic guitar interludes, influences from jazz, 1970s progressive rock, blues and folk elements. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt performs both clean singing and death vocals. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, they are said not to conform to any specific metal sub-genre. The name Opeth was taken from the novel Sunbird by author Wilbur Smith, and was originally spelled Opet. In the book, Opet is the name of the location for an ancient empire which translates to "City of the Moon".
I will post photos from the concert soon... so stay tunned!
Greets,
