Lyrics
Floating on mist
Crept up the caverns of my brain
Received no warning
From nothing to a life code
Walk with me, you'll never leave
Wait to see your spirit free
Tell me how your heart's in need
As I drown you in the sea
Unwinding snares of distrust
Your wrist in my fast grip
Look me in the eye, I'm clear
This is your time
Face down beneath the waterline
Gazing into the deep
From love to death
In a time span of seconds
Oblivious to regret
Pushed into belief
In liquid cellophane
Gasping for air
Mercy in my eyes
Is the shade of the night
The piercing sounds you make
Soaring higher, higher now
And once left in my wake
Your memory is nothing but the scars on me
All over now
Forgotten why I needed this
Standing down
Disappear into the obscure
Resting days
Waiting for new disease
Biding time
Locked inside insanity
It always burns within
The downward spiral never ends
When driven into sin
Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed
The devil guides the way
Tells me what to say
Pours himself inside
And snuffs the final light
Deliverance
Thrown back at me
Deliverance
Laughing at me - Hudba
I have no idea who the fuck Opeth are, I've never listened to them and this just showed up on Autoplay after a concert from Zeal & Ardor. But holy fuck, this is amazing. Top recording quality, the vocalist just makes me smile, and their sound is elegantly badass, fucking amazing. Drumming, guitar, bass, they're all on-point and accurate. The frontman has a great growl AND voice. Fucking awesome.
Edit: six months after writing this comment, I'm a huge Opeth fan. I'm late to the party, but they are seriously one of the most skilled bands I've ever seen.
Glad u made it
Welcome :)
Same here dude
Im obsessed
It's never late to get into the boat!
"This song is a masterpiece, in fact, every song I have written is a masterpiece." -Mikael Åkerfeldt
😂
Or as he said during one of their concerts "I'm the Eros Ramazzotti of metal" . I love his stage banter !
It's funny because is true.
The man speaks the truth.
Opeth is a masterpiece 😂
Let's all agree that Martin Lopez was key to Opeth in their prime. Those drums tell a story when he plays. Perfect combination of talent and emotion. Does he get enough recognition? I don't know. But he's bloody brilliant.
At least we still get to hear him play. Recently discovered Soen, wondered why they felt so familiar. Looked at the lineup and it was an immediate 'ahhhh' moment.
Their newer drummer might be speedier and more consistent but Lopez is far more nuanced, groovy, and creative. Both are amazing.
Totally agree! He is so important for Opeth sound and creative process. So original with his jazzy/latin injections in the songs.
I came after watched they live on hellfest, and yeah, cant agree more. Lopez was actually the best they have. The new session drummer just a bit ruined the songs.
Dude well said! He's one of my favorite drummers. He fit so perfectly into this band. This is 100% prime Opeth!
The best outro ever written
Tubby Mclumpkins I prefer to outro to Reverie/Harlequin Forest

What happened to his voice?
He got old. Years of death metal growls (not just Opeth, but Bloodbath too) is not exactly easy on the vocal cords.
@@afonsogomes8845 nothing.his voice in concerts is perfect.In this video he was young, 33 or 34.

RANCCCCCE
The best drummer, the best guitars, one of the best songs ever written, the best growls, the best Opeth´s line up! Peter Lindgren and Martín López... we miss you so much, so do Opeth!
Did you just forget about the best 👌 👍 😍 🥰 ☺ 💖 bassist
@@Likeaforest brutal technique
I'm glad Lopez found a better place to be, where he's appreciated. Same goes for Peter, incredibly underrated musician.
@@andreasjohansson1952 isn’t Peter musically retired now? Forgive me if I’m wrong.
I’m not ashamed to stay I cried when I saw Opeth last year
I know! I saw them live for the first time this year before Covid hit. I think I died and went to heaven! This band is the shiznit!!😍😍
I saw them on the Ghost Reveries tour and they opened with Ghosts of Perdition. My friend and I were openly weeping, unashamed.
Im pretty sure i cried when I saw them in NZ in 2006 omg I worshipped the ground they walked upon and the air they breathed so much back then. I still think they are one of the greatest bands ever. they are in my heart forever!
One of the most complete death metal songs ever!
progressive death metal
I love this Line up . The Drummer is absolutely fantastic .
Except he's rushing the entire time
@Ayush Bahuguna Nah... the tempo is fluctuating the entire time.
@@DanMullally Yup, it's fluctuating a LOT but I still like it....Lopez has a great feel for dynamics IMO and I can really immerse myself in his drumming.
Lopez's live playing became very inconsistent. I'm not going to speculate as to why. But suffice it was serious enough for him to be replaced by Mikael's former Bloodbath mate, Martin Axenrot.
Bill Bruford may have better timing, but this still is a work of art!
I'm an old guy and have listened to a LOT of music. This is the best live version of ANY song I've ever heard.
Check out Gojira too
Frank zappa does better live shows than in the studio
It's this or basically all of Meshuggah's liveshows...
Maybe you need to listen level five King Crimson Live
@@danieldelrio1411 I saw KC play Level Five at the 9:30 live and it ruled. But not like this.
Never too late to discover and respect a new old band. Amazing.
Right there with ya brother, glad they have such a deep discography for me to dive into! its been a blast
@@CruxalYT Still Life is my all time favorite. So many great albums though! My Arms Your Hearse, And Blackwater Park as well 👌
I envy you, I wish I could re-discover opeth music
Few song outros which make me cry
- Floods by Pantera
- Dogs by Pink Floyd
- Layla by Clapton
- Harlequin Forest by Opeth
- Pigs Three Different Ones by Pink Floyd
and above all, Deliverance surely tops this list
A badass list, there's a extended version of floods that you can sleep in the beautiful outro
You should listen to Be'lakor because their outros are wild
@@igornaimoli7321 thanks will check!!
@@kkshady my fav album is Vessels, really a masterpiece from start to end
Yet "Ghost of Perdition" cause of his angelic vocal there, can't just cease listening to it
This gig is forever etched in my memory: hung out with them backstage before the gig, stood in first row, went backstage again after the gig and chilled some more. Lopez is amazingly friendly with a great sense of humor. I’ll probably never go to another concert as good as this one was.
what a great memories man.......
They were super chill man.
Back in the day they performed at Irving plaza, NYC. I had my nice camera and somehow I ended up sitting on top of one of the amps, taking super intimate shots. Super amazing experience.
Dude you are beyond lucky
7:59 I love mikael's scream as he walks towards the mic to give a fade-in effect. Little details like that sets this band's live performances above the rest.
Martin Lopez... probably a Jazz Drummer inside a death progressive metal atomic clock... what a wonderfull drumming... what a drummer, incredible style... an inspiration, like Gavin Harrison for many other reason and different style yes, but both Musically oriented on their drumset, not only rhythm and technique... musical reason...
man! Gavin and Martín are the best progressive metal drummers!
Gavin is not a progressive Metal drummer
not Metal yep, and I don't like definition.. but I think Gavin has a lot of progressive rock, jazz fusion and many many other references, with a lot of groove, technique.. percussion and melody in his style and in his musical reason. As Gavin, Martin has the same for me.. but Lopez is more Metal oriented yes
Axe is a robot.
lopez is just on point he’s fast yet complex and is a good composer
everyones talking about the outro, but what about that amazing transition at 5:58. When that god-tier riff kicks in with the clean vocals i become jelly.
That's my favorite part.
Oh mine too
holy crap same
hahah yeh, that part is super metal, my favourite part too.
That arrangement is great . Love the vocal melody
It blew my mind when I realized this song is in standard E
i recognise that moment, I had that realisation with Heir Apparent and Master's Apprentices
it happened to me too hahaha!
***** I thought most of Dimmu's songs were in D or C#
***** ah cool! Thanks I didn't know that :D
Mikael was saying some bands write shitty riffs and hide it under tuning down. I think he has a point, when you play some riffs tuned to standard C in standard E you feel like 'meh'.. Mikael really puts effort to write good riffs.
This is the Opeth I miss....
Jonathan Edwards They still play some of the heavy ones.
Listen to watershed again, my friend
This is probably what God listens to
+Gaurav Thapliyal Ye, with unicorns and santa.
Definitely not what He listens to man. You're aware of the lyrics, right?
But, yeah. The music rocks....especially that outro! Jeeeeez!
We all know John Petrucci loves Opeth
Gaurav Thapliyal You're right man i listen this everyday
I love Martin Axenrot's playing, he is an amazing drummer and I respect him a lot.
But Martin Lopez is simply on another level; what a class act. Absolutely breathtaking
Agreed. His smooth flow is so unique.
Actually, Axenrot is on another level, much higher! Check out his Deliverance version live. Live in Helsinki 2016, last song 4/4.
Axe can't fucking play this song properly. He butchers the ending over and over again.
I agree Axenrot is the beter drummer. However, he never matched the feel Lopez gave to the music. Axe misses a bit of swing/groove/however you want to call it. An amazing drummer, nevertheless.
I have to agree on this. It's amazing what Axe is doing on the new records, one of the best drummers in the world. But Lopez... is an other dimension. And this is one of the songs where the difference is clear.
Martin Lopez played the song live FASTER than the studio. Dude is amazing.
When it's hard then killing it harder when it's faster!
Harder is faster!
That outro man! One of my favourites with Harlequin Forest. :)
The same outros I love.
And Heir apparent outro. Its fucking insane.
What about April Ethereal. Best one in my opinion.
René Niclasen no this is the best outro of all time brother
René Niclasen word
these guys are covering aLOT of musical territory here...
It's a legit sonic journey. This is a craft for these guys.
Opeth baby. That's what they do.
Esin12 lol, yep - it’s how they roll
I love the Deliverance album, but listen to Black Rose Immortal as they cover way more ground.
@@mattirealm it's way more inconsistent, too.
Coming from a bass player, Martin Mendez has to be one of the best metal bassists currently. An absolute monster on stage!
He's *the* best
8:38 the combination of vocals and that killer riff is absolutely beautiful.
Lopez era Opeth was the shiznit.
Yes!
absolutely
Flippy Flopper right
It wasn't lopez, it's just that they were still a metal band and not a prog band (I like both tbh), but if i have to be honest Axe is soooo much better of a drummer in every way than lopez. Just consider that the studio version of deliverance is 14 mins long and this version barely gets to 11 minutes. Lopez doesn't even speed up the whole song and keeps slowing down and speeding up.
I don't think that Axe would be better.... listen to Lopez's new work like Soen and you will see. My opinion is that Lopez is much better in serving the songs then Axe is (he just sometimes plays completley aimless shit)
In my opinion one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
3:35 Mikael gets possessed
ahaha
Their most recent tour Mikael always wore is awesome hat (as I’m sure we all know). When they came out for the encore he wasn’t wearing it, so people were shouting “where’s the hat?!” His response was that he maybe we wanted to headbang to the next song, he then demanded silence so he could bleed the intro in. Then in cams the light show and that amazing opening riff. It was bliss
Opeth at their peak. Headbanging like at madman. Goosebumps all over my hairy body.
Glad to know you're hairy
LOOK! ME! IN! THE! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@lorenzobarichello5180 2
Love how Lopez messes with the tempo. Gives the song a pulse.
Doesn't seem like it's intentional up until the 'Deliverance' part, as the outro was probably too fast to play in the high bpm
Yeah I like this more than the studio version
That great era of Lopeth is sadly over, but the legacy stays with those of us who still cherishes every bit of it... ❤
Best lineup
+Carlos Céspedes I agree
If you want to repeat the last part: 10:35
Aernath eargasm all the way from 8:39
@@MrStratocaster92 The whole damn song is an eargasm :P
If you want pure genius: 0:00
I think it repeats enough already.
this comment is so on point
This era of Opeth is my favorite. Deliverance hits so hard and is just so goddamn bleak and cold and heavy. This new crap isn't my thing, but they can still nail it live so I'm totally cool with that. I can always listen to old Opeth, respect to the band for wanting to do something else after a slew of good dm albums.
god Martin's drumming during the final soft "deliverance" section. so much feel, amazing dynamics. he's a master
Over the past 4 or 5 years Opeth has become my 2nd all time favorite band of any music genre. There is something strangely relaxing about their music, almost ASMR like. I've dozed off to My Arms, Your Hearse a few times, and Orchid gives me an out of body feelin. There is not a single waisted note in their songs, nor is there a single filler track on any of their albums. Mikael has such a ferocious vocal distortion, but yet his singing is graceful, and he speaks with such a deep and somber tone. Opeth is that band that very few bands are: an experience
Whats your #1?
@@DeadLuckArchives MetallicA
I haven’t found another band that can sound this good live.
Tool
Almost 2 years ago, I was introduced to Opeth by a CZcamsr who recommended them in a video which, to this day, I’m still trying to find, he recommended this song as a perfect song to show non metalheads how good metal can be, I was already into metal, you know, the more traditional stuff like Megadeth and Slipknot, but when I first listened to that intro, it took me like a week to get passed those first seconds, once I did, I listened to the whole song, and it changed my world, you wouldn’t expect someone who is just getting into metal to listen to Opeth as one of their first couple of bands, but you know what? Fucking worth it, to this day, they still are my favorite band of all time, there’s just one artist that I like as much, and that’s Zappa, but apart from him, few bands have made such an impact in my life, long live to Opeth!!!! And long live to one of the greatest guitarists alive, Mikael Akerdfelt!!!!!
The video you’re referring to is probably the “Rough guide to metal sub genres” series of videos, the creator recommended The Moor if i remember correctly, or some other song from Still Life
@@shuttheup589 no it was a video from a guy called Farvann, the song he recommended was Deliverance
Man, Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez, it never got better than this
Exactly! that´s what I´m talking about
nah, i i prefer Axe than Lopez, and Freidrik is awesome too, and the adition of the keyboard really added a dimention to the band
Axe is very good, great drummer but lopez was insane for me!
Yeah, Axe is a tighter and a little bit better drummer, but both are fabulous.
Fredrik Akesson spoiled me with his metal solos and licks
I was at this show.
I was a few rows from the front at stage left.
A superb rendition of my favourite ever song.
This is ‘the’ best Opeth lineup for me.
I became an Opeth fan about a week ago and I'm already obsessed. Opeth hits different.
Just rediscovered Opeth again after about 10 years...my god
Best band of all time
Yes... Opeth is a special Planet.
@@TheFbiFilesRepeat Agreed, no band can match their musicianship.
I'm amused by all the comments comparing Axenrot to Lopez. Saying one of them is better than the other is kinda like saying Stephen Hawking is smarter than Albert Einstein. Who cares? They're both geniuses!
Axe never played this song properly.
@Zedrik Allen here's the way I look at it. Axe is better in the studio. Lopez is better live.
Yeah but still, Lopez is better
yeah but lopez is better
I'M GOING TO SEE MARTIN LOPEZ PLAY LIVE WITH SOEN TONIGHT!
The best outro in history of music !
Gotta say, I'm a hardcore Opeth fan and love ALL their records (Sorceress is amazing). But it's impossible to deny that THIS is Opeth at its peak in every level: performance, composition and specially line-up (Lopez will be remembered as THE drummer for the band even though Soen is his band now. No disrespect to it). As a matter of fact whenever someone asks me where to start with the band I refer them to this dvd.
They sound amazing live!!
+MasterOfJustice not so great any more, well Mikael cant do the growls so well any more.
+Rob Greene His growls lost power and brutality, but everything else is still great
Yep have seen the multiple times. They are amazing live
@@robgreene5666let em age man they still sound sick. Y’all sound just like all those Guns haters ☠️
Michael's growls were so deep and powerfull back then !
Probably the best song in entire history of music.
these guys made me listen to this type of music , even tho i hated growling but with mikael ... he's sooo something else :O
jeez ... this guy specially is very talented , to be able to growl and switch to clean suddenly while playing hard riffs wow ... he's the first i see doing this to be honest , my knowledge of growlers isn't that big but that's the first one see doing such thing , i saw alot of vocals growling but they don't play .
Same here with his vocals, seriously almost nobody does them as good as he does. lately he's not as good as he was in his prime but still damn good. phenomenal musician. well the whole freakin band is phenomenal
that's so fucking true , i'm so impressed by them
I totally agree! I hate most death metal because of the constant blastbeats and growling, and I was really sceptical when my brother wanted to show me Opeth because I thought they were just another death metal band. I loved it almost instantly. The way they blend prog rock and death metal is just perfect, and Mikael's growing is actually fucking awesome to me, he's the only growling vocalist I like
yup same exactly here for me , Mikael is the only vocal i listen to that growls now , and literally no one else in the world could do growl then switch to clean and play LEAD guitar in the same damn time , he's so damn talented , best ever
The only other death metal band I like besides opeth is dethklok, you should listen to dethalbum 1. It has Lopez's hero gene hoglan on drums (gene took over for Lopez on the opeth video for the grand conjuration because he was sick) and also the guitar and growling vocals sound like no other metal band.
Lopez and Mendez doing things right.
If they start a band it has to be called Pez n Dez.
A música navega do death metal, passa pelo jazz, entra em um heavy metal totalmente puritano e apesar de ter 12 minutos de duraçao, acaba como se tivessem passado apenas 5! Que banda foda!
e tudo isso afinado em E standard
Hands down one of the best songs ever written, and also the best version of it!
The outro is so hypnotic. This song is definitely one of the best masterpieces Opeth ever made. It sounds great no matter of what on every live I saw so far.
Hands down one of the best metal songs of all time right here
I'm always awed by his growls
Those Golden Days..!!
The best lineup they've ever had. So many outstanding albums recorded during that time. It just sends shivers down my spine thinking about it
This is one of the greatest performances I have ever had the privelege to have seen, even if only in video. I've only recently gotten into Opeth, and wow, Opeth is changing my perspective on a lot of things.
best opeth line up ever
I really miss this Opeth :(
We all miss Lindgren and Lopez so much...
Deep Jyoti but Fredrik and Axe are better
Meshuggapeth Fredrik, maybe. Axe, nope. He is a human metronome, but Lopez was a drummer. I compare this version to the Wacken 2015 version, and damn... Even giving Mikael's growls a pass, it lacks the energy and adrenaline that Lopez gave it. 10 years later, I still think Lopez was better than Axe...
branlopgar Lopez was great, but he couldn’t have pulled off some of the newer Opeth fan favorites like “The Devil’s Orchard” or “A Fleeting Glance”. Axe’s drumming is hypnotic and brutal at the same time, adding new styles and sounds to Opeth’s texture . Lopez does though deserve credit for adding heaviness to Opeth’s sound beginning on My Arms, Your Hearse. His playing on the Deliverance/Damnation and Ghost Reveries albums deserve widespread recognition for they worked so well with Opeth’s style, especially when mixed in with Mendez’s excellent bass playing
Lopez' biggest contribution to Opeth was to add the jazzy feel of the drums. That was him. Axe never had the jazz feel and groove that Lopez has.
I'm sure they miss being in Opeth as well....
First of all. The mics and sound levels are incredible. Props ti whoever set it up because it sounds like the recording.
Hmmm then your speakers must be rly bad, this is a great fkn performance but the recorded sound quality doesnt sound all that good
best version by far, amazing Lopez as a conductor of the song
Transition at 9:30 was so smooth,loved it.
Holy shit this was amazing, I can see why people consider Opeth one of the best
So simple, yet so brutal!
Peak OPETH. As much as I love their newer material, but this, this line up, the music they produced at that time 🤘… no other band could or will match it
Posting this after watching Opeth live for my first time in the Evolution XX tour… I always liked this song since I first listened to it, but know after experiencing it live my life changed and I believe it is the best fucking song ever written 😭😭 What a masterpiece
Opeth’s best rhythm section.
Absolutely zero doubt on that
4:37 The drummer is really pushing the tempo here. It gives the section an energy that's distinct from the studio version.
The whole song is much faster here really. I don’t like it as much as the studio version. Still a great performance and impressive as fuck
At that time, those insane fast tempos(live) would make them look like straight up death metal bands in terms of energy! This rush and drag adds an "insanity" factor which suits death metal in general!
I really like Lopez's choice of tempo throughout this gig. He increases it in certain parts where it contributes nicely to the intensity of the song, while in other parts he actually slows down the tempo compared to the studio recording - for example, the opening riff in Masters Apprentices feels much chunkier while most of A Fair Judgment feels more profoundly sentimental. In both cases these slight adjustments improve the songs IMO, to the extent that I don't even listen to the studio versions of these tracks anymore
Opeth is rarely band that doing songs in live more fantastic than studio version
Its fantastic AF!
That goes ridiculously hard
This is the best outro of a song ever
I don't know why, but I still prefer listening to this live version instead of the album one. Amazing :)
Probably because the album version sounds almost rigid next to this live version. Lopez really let loose live.
Yeah most live versions of songs aren't as good because the vocalist normally fucks up.... Especially in prog.... But mikael never does anything wrong
This one simply outclass anything that is studio recorded.
this is the best era of opeth hands down.At the top of their game,creative and live beasts.
After one million times watching this performance I finally realize that they actually skipped one part at the end because in the studio version they play that last epic pattern part 3 times with Mikael playing that sinister riff and then they play for the last time both guitarists that pattern. And here they play twice before going to the last part. Anyway, I could watch the last 3minutes until the end of times.
The last breakdown can cure cancer!
This is so ridiculously fucking good. Amazing recording quality too.
This is Opeth at their finest. This is their best line up. These albums (between Still Life and Damnation). Untouchable during this period!!
Is it okay if I cry? Because godaaaamn this is so freaking incredible!!!! It's brilliant! Never before I heard this much brutalism combined with amazing tearjerking clean passages. Man, I'm so happy I'm living in a time where this band exists haha...
Wouldn't you say so?
This might sound like an obvious remark about the man who literally wrote the drum parts for this song, but no other drummer has ever played this song better. For all the imperfections in his live performances - particularly the rushed tempos - his feel and swing, along with his sense of dynamics was impeccable. Even the drum sound was a thing of beauty; loose but deep snare, crisp hi-hats and cymbals. Axe had a beautiful drum sound too, but could never quite nail this one as well.
god damn I miss martin lopez
and Lindgren...
buddhastalin He's still alive..in Soen. And he's doing a great job
he was good in the band!!!
for some reason i don't specially dig Lopez in Opeth, I totally prefer Axe. But When I first heard Soen I was like OMG!! Is like in Soen he can really get his potential to shine, to me
He’s my annoying brother. Lol
I have never seen a more emotional metal drummer in my life. He is great 🤘
I saw this lineup live, man they were great. Still are for sure, but Lopez... My neck still hurts from the memory of this song, and Demon of the Fall.
I could imagine this song playing from heaven the day Jesus returns to earth. His line would be "Deliverance... Deliverance..."
someone wrote "The best outro ever written"...this is exactly what I wanted to say. First heard this song in 2002, it`s been 16 years and I am still listening to this song once in a while and there is still no better outro! Thumbs up who is also finger banging the drums on the table/chest/leg/whatever to mimic the outro!
Arturs Krastins Agalloch Falling Snow probably has better guitar work in the outro imo
@@omegjonneboy4027 I will listen to that, however I was referring to the drum part of the outro in this song
Masterpiece🔥🔥🔥
Wow the drumming is unbelievably good
I will never get tired of this masterpiece
This is so beautiful and yet it`s so dark and haunting. This band is truly something else. Even the newer mellower albums are still amazing.
This drummer is so much better than the one they have now...I wish he would come back! Martin Lopez, my favorite drummer after Mike Portnoy.
+xDiscipl3 It's just my taste I guess, but Axe is amazing as well. I love all their albums and everything they do.
Technically Axe is the superior drummer, but he just doesnt have Lopez's feel and improvisations live.
I'm sure that Mikael prefers playing in front of Axe, who if nothing else, is remarkably true to what was played on the album.
Both Martín and Axe are great drummers, but this is not a fucking competition... Opeth was a band that searched something beyond "techinique", I mean, if I have to choose a guitarist for a band I would prefer Peter Lindgren than John Petrucci... why? because I prefer the feeling and mood of Peter. As a drummer I hate when people close their minds and say that Portnoy is the best, and then I ask them... ok, what other prog drummers can you mention? Gavin Harrison and Martín López are better drummers than Mike, this is a matter of taste of course.
What´s your opinion about Fredrik Åkesson than? Do you like the new Opeth Sorceress record? I think that Portnoy has more feel than Mangini...
Best line Up ever!!! Full power and majesty!!
I am floored at how amazing the audio sounds on this. it is incredibly well produced/mixed. my favorite version of the song.
Its awesome to see how Mickaels voice has improved over the years! Stronger cleans and more gutteral growls! I love everything OPeth!
Such a DEVILISH song I never hear from any metal bands (I LOVE IT) 🔥🔥🔥
Martin Lopez is going off here. His fills and his playing are so much more aggressive and complex in this performance than the studio performance. Being that Opeth is a prog band and Mikael is a perfectionist, I'm surprised Lopez was improvising fills and the like.
That vocal, that bassist, that drummer...
I worship every group member. 🤘🏼
I’ll never live down that damnable night my cousin and I were 4 peeps away from the entrance to an Opeth show in San Antonio when: “Sorry folks. Sold out!”
I cried. He cried. And we cried together...
