It's impossible to not like an Opeth song, but you guys enjoyed this more than I thought you would! I do prefer the dark, brutal stuff but there's SO many good aspects of the last 4 albums. I wonder if there are enough Opeth fans donating that we'll just go through their whole discography now...I won't complain. You two always lift my spirits.
One of the great things about the Red Rock performance was how included Fredrick is in the vocals. Recently at Seattle, it was another stellar play of it. Their lighting is improving every tour.
There's a new Jinjer video out! It's for Call Me A Symbol! They were just given permission to leave Ukraine to go back on tour as cultural ambassadors. The video hits hard! 🤘
This whole album is a masterpiece...along with their other masterpieces...sorceress is just the best opener for them...saw them last month ...beautiful...
I'm a prog guy and I also like technical death metal but I can't help it. This is my favourite Opeth song ever. The mix on the album is so bass-heavy that for the first time in my life I had to turn the bass down on my receiver because I was afraid the walls in my house would collapse.
Now you’re doing live Opeth Demon of The Fall and Bleak of the Roundhouse tapes.. personal favourite of my live performance Masters Apprentices at Shepards Bush Mikael is on a whole different level vocal wise Brutal and clean!
Many people think Axe was a one dimensional death metal drummer, but he has prog skills for days. I personally, maybe being in the minority, prefer his groove and style more than Lopez's. He will be missed.
Axl is a hell of a drummer... I repeat... A helllll of a drummer! But Lopez ad that "i don't know what" in the ritms and composition... Its hard... Maybe I'll go with "they're diferent" 😁
They're both amazing but just different, Martin Lopez has more influence and puts prominent markers on pocket and prog-death drumming overall with Opeth vast discography with Lopez. With that being said Axe is more 2000s death metal with Bloodbath as of the 2 years he spent playing death metal only but have adapted and conquered Opeth with his own style. The band evolved with Lopez and continued to evolve with Axe to a different direction as it should be. I personally prefer Lopez's drumming.
This band will absolutely smash your soul with Melodies, break downs, harmonies think most bands wish for. Top tier band. each member is master class fo sho. All while wearing leather jackets. Lol.
I love it! I hope you guys get a chance to see them live sometime. It's unforgettable. As always, I get so much joy from seeing you two truly enjoying this.
Great reaction! I love how you pay attention to the musically details. I love the raw and dirty heaviness in the guitars combined with great melody and performance in the singing and keyboards over a cool and driving rytm.
Hello from New England...I've been sleeping on Opeth for yrs but this song pulled me in..It's so funky and catchy that I'm bopoing around my house with this cranked.. Peace..
I was literally listening to this 4 hours ago thinking this would be a good one for you guys to review after you did a more modern track the other day. Didn’t expect it so soon though 🤣
It’s good to see some newer Opeth arrive. I really enjoy how they are evolving. So much awesomeness. I think the whole Pale Communion album is top shelf.
AWESOOOOME... I LOVE YOU GUYS.. I.m watching you almost every day :))... ETERNAL RAINS WILL COME (Opeth)... is not a request .. it's a must :p :* .. Take care!
I would recommend Face of Melinda and two runs of I feel the dark. Album and Live. There is a specific part that I think you both would agree makes live the best version of the song.
Like, yea, Opeth changed, but I don't agree when people said they lost their brilliance. I adore Pale Communion like...Top 5 favorite CD of my life. And Heritage, Sorceress and ICV are still incredible achievements. Heritage is so strange, weird, mystic, I don't know man, I just love this band so fucking much.
I discovered Opeth around the time Sorceress came out thanks to the TH-cam algorithm, but I was recommended their death metal stuff. I had no clue they had made the change to this sound so when I went to my local music shop and saw Sorceress I was pretty shocked that they were the same band. Overall I think it's a good album, I just need to be in the right mood to listen to it.
Heritage was the weakest album of the new style, all the ones since then are better than that :) Particularly In Cauda Venenum, I think it's the most cohesive from the new sound.
OK, so, I haven't watched this yet, and I see you're doing a live performance (very good), so this won't apply so much but I wanna talk a little about this album and something I never see in conversations. A lot of folks will listen to the digital version of Sorceress and end with this kind of "ho hum" feeling, and a lot of those folks say it felt poorly mixed. Like the bass isn't all there, etc. And they're totally right--the digital version of this entire album sucks. They never mastered it. They did the studio recordings and set the levels there but then never did anything else with it. And it was completely on purpose. You see, this album was written after Mikael's divorce. He went thru some stuff, I reckon, and I think a lot of that processing went into the making of this album for him. So, in a way, if you want to know all about a divorce what do you do? You have to get *both sides* of the story. Digital medium for music is not two-sided. It's one side, you get what you get. What has two sides? Vinyl and tapes. And I own this album on vinyl. It's fully mixed, with maybe the richest sound out of any of the "New" Opeth albums that I have heard on vinyl so far. Even compared to Blackwater Park (also on vinyl), Sorceress has some absolutely booming moments that are just completely lost in the digital mix. So if you can, try to hunt down the vinyl of this beauty of an album!
Jeez Axe live is tough for me to listen to coming from loving Opeth in the Martin Lopez era I’m sorry to say. Never drives the tempo forward somehow the songs live always feel more sluggish than the albums. Wish there were more reactions with Lopez live 😢
Come on man! You can clearly hear Lopez rushing in several songs in the Shepherd's Bush Empire show. He came up with some great stuff on the records but when it comes to tempo at a live performance he wasn't consistent.
@@darkphoenix2 nothing wrong with doing that live. They wanted to do that with the heavy part of the show. Better than making the old heavy tracks sound like they are stuck in mud. I think Axe is a great drummer honestly. It’s just Lopez was on another level
@@wesleyb1458 I'd be surprised if they wanted to play at that speed. The Drapery Falls seemed harder for Mikael to sing towards the end because he had less time to sing the melody with Lopez going crazy
@@darkphoenix2 he was still cleaner at that speed than Axe is when he tries to play stuff from this records. You are entitled to your preference. For me, Mikael’s writing and playing is better complimented by Lopez style but to each their own. I think most people do agree that Lopez was their best drummer tho
Soundgarden is a nursery rhyme compared to the comlexity and crossoverish vibes of Opeth...halfway metal, jazz, rock, prog rock...full of surprises...cannot be cathegorized in any musical genres...it is an other box.
Let's go!!!
Awesome recommendation thanks Ross you rock
ROSS!!!
Not gonna lie, feel like I'm on deck here... :D
@@M4EOzzy Let's go man, what you got for us?
@@rosswoodland6449 Done! It's a personal favorite...gotta be a surprise though. ;)
Moarrr Opeth! Frick yeah. I'm so hyped you guys are getting into their newer stuff, can't wait for you to hear Moon Above Sun Below!

I was at this show, my 37th Opeth show! Phenomenal doesn’t even begin to cover it!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Keep on banging the mighty O!!
I thought seeing a band 4x was a lot. Nice!
I was at this one too! You can catch occasional glimpses of my wife and I throughout the blu-ray of the show!
37th? show? My God, you're living my dreamed life.
Just incredible how it can be that this live performance sounds way better than on the studio album.
In studio they didn't do any mastering I heard. Live version is so much better
Opeth and Porcupine Tree are always better live. Incredible
One of the great things about the Red Rock performance was how included Fredrick is in the vocals. Recently at Seattle, it was another stellar play of it. Their lighting is improving every tour.
I was thinking they should include his vocals on the albums.
There's a new Jinjer video out! It's for Call Me A Symbol! They were just given permission to leave Ukraine to go back on tour as cultural ambassadors. The video hits hard! 🤘
New Opeth....Old Opeth....it's all magical.
👏🏻
Two Opeth´s songs in two consecutive days....Thankssssss!!!!!!
Axenrot is an absolute machine. Incredible drive.
This whole album is a masterpiece...along with their other masterpieces...sorceress is just the best opener for them...saw them last month ...beautiful...
I saw them in MN last month for the first time drive 4 hours for that show with Mastodon fucking amazed.
@@jaimeduendeozzzkr that was the best sounding rock show I have ever heard...guitar heaven!!! I drove 5 hours so I win haha

I prefer axe. Lopez is awesome don't get me wrong. But axe just has so many good chops
Axe is much better than Lopez

I´ve nevet seen such music enthusiasts. My new favourite youtube couple :D
What an incredible lineup there was. Devin, Gojira and Opeth. Like omg this has to be happening some time in the future. Will be a blessing
Mastodon and lamb of god
No backing tracks here! 100 percent live!🤘😆🤘
Like, yea, Opeth changed, but I don't agree when people said they lost their brilliance. I adore Pale Communion like...Top 5 favorite CD of my life. And Heritage, Sorceress and ICV are still incredible achievements. Heritage is so strange, weird, mystic, I don't know man, I just love this band so fucking much.
Your reactions are really good. Like the content 🤘🏼
Incredible!
Opeth Live: Damnation DVD is their best live performances, hands down - Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London

Welcome to Newpeth!

you should check out drag rope by storm corrosion a collab from opeth and porcupine tree. steve wilson and micheal akerfield epic duo!!
Loving the reactions. You guys really need to react to some more Swedish greatness from either katatonia or soen
Most impressive band ever in the world from Sweden. Live on Wacken 19. So awesome! Take money for a Ticket for Opeth. You will be honored.
Haven't really dived as much in their new sound but Sorceress is a solid track, way simpler but good nonetheless
I discovered Opeth around the time Sorceress came out thanks to the TH-cam algorithm, but I was recommended their death metal stuff. I had no clue they had made the change to this sound so when I went to my local music shop and saw Sorceress I was pretty shocked that they were the same band. Overall I think it's a good album, I just need to be in the right mood to listen to it.
Great song the band is incredible
Aaaaaaand that's how you start a show.
Crazy to think this audio is live
That rhythm with that drum beat and his vocals was freakin SICK!!!
Opeth hasnt been my thing since Heritage but still a great band .
Heritage was the weakest album of the new style, all the ones since then are better than that :) Particularly In Cauda Venenum, I think it's the most cohesive from the new sound.
👍🔥😎🔥👍
Shout out to the drummer and keyboardist on this one
“We are getting murdered right now” 🤣🤣
Moon above, sun below PLEASE!!!
Do reactions to anything from In Cauda Venenum - it’s by far the best of their prog rock sound. All things will Pass is a masterpiece
The best Band!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to Opeth's heavy prog. Now you "just" have 4 albums to react.... Yeaaaahhhh 😂
OK, so, I haven't watched this yet, and I see you're doing a live performance (very good), so this won't apply so much but I wanna talk a little about this album and something I never see in conversations.

What has two sides? Vinyl and tapes.
And I own this album on vinyl. It's fully mixed, with maybe the richest sound out of any of the "New" Opeth albums that I have heard on vinyl so far. Even compared to Blackwater Park (also on vinyl), Sorceress has some absolutely booming moments that are just completely lost in the digital mix. So if you can, try to hunt down the vinyl of this beauty of an album!
My vinyl Version is not good at all... Digital or not, the album doesn t sound good as the previous.... But it's fantastic! Love opeth! 🧡
@@jacocreep Do you have the 2-disc version with bonus tracks?
@@RossOfRoni yes 😨
@@jacocreep I swear the mix on my vinyl is totall different than the digital versions but I'm no expert!
Deep Purple is a big enfluence
Told ya..... nothing wrong with any of the newer Opeth material. It's just different. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Check also The studio version of this one 😗
Yes!!
it does have a soundgarden feel for sure, that 4th of july ton of doomgrunge sludge chugging down, its so glorious.
FYI this song is about Mikael's ex-wife

They got alot of flack from oldschool fans for the new sound but this song sounded killer on the record but it's even better live.
Great song reminds me of Uriah Heep
