OPETH IN CONCERT:

 

Swedish progressive metal rockers Opeth are all about keeping listeners on their toes. The band's technically virtuosic jams are a study in contrast, juxtaposing brutal guitar riffing with soft acoustic passages and blood-curdling death growls with melodic choruses. Their live shows play up these opposing elements perfectly, hitting fans with a maelstrom of moods and textures that run the gamut from heart-pounding to serene. At the center of it all is frontman Mikael Akerfeldt, a magnetic performer whose dynamic voice and wild-eyed intensity is the driving force behind ambitious compositions like "Sorceress" and "Will O The Wisp." He's joined on stage by a motley crew of shredders who keep the energy cranked to the max on guitar, bass, drums, and Mellotron – a unique keyboard instrument that lends an eerie, otherworldly vibe to the band's songs. Metal fans looking to have their minds blown continue to turn out in droves to see Opeth play, and they're never disappointed by the band's hard-hitting, adventurous sounds.

 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

 

Opeth formed in Stockholm in 1990 and spent their early years playing a straight-ahead brand of death metal featuring blast beats and aggressive vocals. By mid-decade the band had begun incorporating elements of jazz, blues, and even classical, and their 1995 debut album Orchid was roundly hailed by critics for its unique blend of styles. The band released three more albums in the '90s but didn't start touring until the release of 2001's Blackwater Park. That album sold nearly 100,000 copies in the US alone, a major feat that drew the band out on their first world tour. By the end of the '00s Opeth was a fixture on the Swedish charts, and American audiences weren't far behind – both 2011's Heritage and 2014's Pale Communion cracked the Top 20 on the US Billboard 200. The band released their 12th studio album Sorceress to another round of critical acclaim in 2016, and followed up with more face-melting sets on their Sorceress World Tour.

    Surprisingly great!

    by Aji on 5/15/22Riverside Municipal Auditorium - Riverside

    I actually attended with my kid I wasn’t sure he was happy for me to join him but that’s how it worked out in the end. The venue was beautiful everything was really well organised there were plenty of bars and I didn’t have to wait on anyone line for long at all if at all. Toilets were clean . Above all The music was awesome the acoustics were great and I thought the bands and all the fans were just having such a good time in yet so civilised and fun and polite. That may not be the kind of review you’d expect for a progressive metal concert but that’s what it was for me

    Ethereal experience

    by Viva on 5/15/22Riverside Municipal Auditorium - Riverside

    This might be my favorite show ever! The sound quality alone is unparalleled and to experience Opeth with fans that knew every single lyric was amazing! Opeth played perfectly as if they were actually projections or figments of our imaginations, my goodness I will love Opeth forever and Riverside made it an unforgettable show. Also I can’t not mention the popcorn for sale being the cherry on top. Ethereal melodies in a venue that looked like some dukes summer home. I don’t think anyone could top that

    Opeth never disappoints

    by Anna on 5/14/22Riverside Municipal Auditorium - Riverside

    Great band to see live. This was my 6th time seeing them in about 20 years, and they always put on an amazing show.

    Two amazing metal bands, one night.

    by Jacobthetongue on 5/10/22UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Both Mastodon and Opeth were incredible, as expected. Sound was good, visuals were good, crowd was excited and having an awesome time. Seating all the way to the front for metal though? Seemed odd to me, but maybe that's a Covid thing. Not seeing a mosh pit at metal was quite surreal.

    Glorious Show

    by K. S. on 5/7/22

    The Grey Eagle is a pretty solid venue, was not disappointed with the sound production! Ghost of Perdition melted my face off, and I have a newfound appreciation for Sorceress after witnessing it live. Probably my favourite band in general and one of the best I've seen in person. Hope they come back to Canada soon!!!

    Disastrous Feedback Sound

    by Samuel on 4/24/22Place Bell - Laval

    This was my second time at Place Bell after seeing Jack White the preceding week. Both times the sound was really okay (meaning not great) for Jack White then for Mastodon. During Opeth the sound was horrible. Every single beautiful song that I deeply love from the best prog metal band was destroyed and annihilated by a constant bass feedback throughout the show. It was not simply too much bass or delay or distorsion. Just a constant deafening sound completely out of sync, so it was simply impossible to ignore. I know that not everyone suffered from the same inconvenience as me with some even saying that they had great sound. Maybe it was because I was on the side of the bass player, but anyway, I would have understood if I heard him more than the other band members, but that was definitely not the case. To conclude, I'm a huge Opeth fan and have already seen them a bunch of times at other places and it was each time amazing. I'm very disappointed that Place Bell screwed this up.
