go back and watch Mikael in 2019 or in 2021 before the new drummer. having a drummer with some consistency who pushes the beat ahead has done wonders for his vocal performances as he likely has to think about his guitar parts landing on the beat less
they're definitely not as raspy and good sounding as the "old tone" (early 2000s) but they're sounding better than ever if we're talking the last 15 years or so
@@explosivx43 he doesn't do super high pitched gutterals anymore but he's definitely regained some range. previous it was all low pitched growls almost exclusively
@@zacksguitarhacks6390Too many hassles going through customs without being vaccinated. Ax lost the gig of a lifetime, however Waltteri is fucking insanely talented so all is fine. I will miss Ax and I did love his playing. I think Walt is closer in approach and feel to Lopez than Ax was.
@@zacksguitarhacks6390"Hey, Martin, we can't tour until everyone is vaccinated. Getting vaccinated is also kind of a non-shitty thing to do, so… what do you say" "I quit" Yeah, pretty lame of him
P24! I don't think they make them anymore but they do a Custom 24 Piezo which is effectively the same thing, I think he's got a couple of those now too.
Mike hates all the attention his growls are getting on the new album, but the thing is... they got better than they were for a while (he kind of blew out his vocals when he was wearing studio earplugs onstage... he couldnt hear his voice through the monitors like he should have and he overcompensated).
Growls are sounding absolutely monstrous compared to a few years ago. Absolutely blown away. I didn't think they would ever sound this good again.
An absolute legendary comeback to good growling again, obviously not as good as early Opeth ~20 years ago but amazing nonetheless.

The drummer that rescued Opeth🤘
They are playing Demon Of The Fall faster again, look at this tempo, hear Mikael's growls, I can't remember the last time they sound like this
Damn, Waltteri seems to have kicked in a new gear for the whole band! They sound better than in over a decade!
Homeland buff
@@prawtism ???
This here gig is Norway, Opeth are from Sweden, and Waltteri is from Finland
😊

@@helmberteisenschnauzer7233 Tuska was obviously in Helsinki, Finland
They have to record another live with this drummer. This shit is TOO GOOD!
This aged well🎉
@@Flachmatuchlive album?
Jesus Waltteri is on fire
echoing what everyone's noticing- Michael's growls are so crisp and clear, and Waltteri has been a stellar choice for drummer, too. I'm in heaven~ 🎶
Mike still being a reference for death growls after all these years is beyond commendable. He seems to have found his old tone again

The ending chord progression and melody is one of my favorites
This give me hope for the next record. Never say never 🤘
Wouldn't it be unreal!!!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@nelsonshaw4596 are you still levitating? New song is amazing and growly🤘
@Orlok666 high as a kite mate! Can't wait for the album to drop in Oct. S1 is unreal!!!
Waltteri is a godsend! So cool seeing them enjoying playing the old tunes with him so much.
Insane growls here! Hoping for this on the new album, would be insane
guess what 🤣
@@matias6119 hahaha yes!!!
My fav Opeth song sounds great live again!!!
3:31 drummer. dude is nasty fast
It's time for opeth to match the beauty of Blackwater Park
Yes!
Please tour North America. Never saw them in my life
That tour is already announced.
@lehtokurppa7824 oh my god !!!!!! That's my birth day!!!! ❤ I was born Oct 30. Thanks for telling me.
@@armandorivera3289 No problems. You might get some new songs too.
@lehtokurppa7824 i will listen to their new songs. I can't wait to see opeth for the 1st time. I bought my ticket for Los angeles.
They started playing this song instead of devils orchard too. I hope you get to see it
Waltteri is that guy.
Bro these growls sound like the album growls😭
2:42 😯
You're in for a treat. Try 'The Moor' or 'Demon of the Fall'. Or one of their other 100 Magnum Opus songs of course. Congratulations to find Opeth 😊
your videos of this show have the best sound quality, you got the rest of the set? Thanks very much for uploading
Only those two which I've already uploaded. Sorry 😉
Waltsu :)
2:44 Face melt commence! Holy fuck Waltteri!
Did they kick out the drummer because he didn't want a jab?
That's what I've heard about it, maybe there were other factors but that's probably the lamest excuse to fire somebody.

Anyone know what PRS Mikael is playing here?

@@absence7445 Thanks for the info bud! I'm loving the all white with natural binding on the body.
Easily Mikael is top 5 best living death metal vocalist, this performance is nasty!
Voi veljet, tuollahan olis melkein pitänyt olla. Tuskassa olin siis mutta vaan pe-la tällä kertaa.

Can do without the clapping.
