- Recordings of Opeth's 2003 Hultsfred show have been around for over 20 years. But for some reason, they've always been shared in an incomplete format: low res video, compressed or separate audio, and always unmastered.
Today, that changes.
Taken from B1tterAndThenSome's upscaled footage, a separate (and outstanding quality) soundboard audio source, and my own remaster, matrix, edits, and rendering, you can now experience this empassioned performance as it was intended.
Hultsfred 2003 was special for a number of reasons. First of all, it was Opeth's first return to the festival since 2001 (during which the band was not happy with their performance). While that show was professionally recorded, Opeth asked that it not be aired - and it has not been officially circulated to date.
Secondly, this was Opeth's first show since their TV4 appearance on May 28th, 2003. While it was amazing to see the live debut of In My Time of Need and To Rid the Disease (and their first live performance with Per Wiberg), circumstances were stressful. The televised performance was well-received, though, and the band returned to stage shows with greater confidence.
Finally, this was one of the last full performances of Opeth as a four-piece: the 1997-2003 lineup that created My Arms, Your Hearse, Still Life, Blackwater Park, Deliverance, and Damnation. While every Opeth lineup is incredible (and Per's incoming influence only made them better), this was undoubtedly one of the greatest album runs in history. Their presence and their power at this time was beyond compare.
So block 15 minutes of your evening. Make yourself comfortable. And let this video take you to a place where demons fear to tread. This is Advent.

love this version. Martin Lopez is awesome.
Thanks man, you're the Opeth lorekeeper! \m/
Some peak Opeth to kick off the weekend. Thanks for this my friend.
This video has a 1970s aesthetic, but it includes high-distortion guitars and harsh vocals too. Thanks!!
09:24 (drummer) 🥵🥵💦
goodness me! that is fucking epic
bro i love this quality
Incredible quality for 03!
2:20 It's insane how he can play these riffs without even looking at the fretboard most of the time.
Gods can do anything
Very interesting description to say the least. I’ve always wanted a good remaster of this show (audio-wise) especially demon of the fall. This is gonna be sweet!
I'd only ever seen the Royal Albert Hall version. This is better! Thanks for the upload👏
Thank you for this Treasure🙏❤️🔥🤘
Thankx again for this. It's awesome
RUUUUUULES!!!!!
4:12 - 5:42 Godlike.
Hearing this with such a powerful sound is amazing!
Awesome!
13:05 For some reason they always cut the outro short. It's one of my favourite sections.
This sounds bloody amazing. However, as so often with Lopez, it's kind of a bummer that he rushes the heavy and rather uptempo parts so hard.
You are doing the Lord's (or Devil's!) work, my friend. Thank you.
Can we expect more videos from this show?
I'm thinking about doing one more. Drapery, Deliverance, Fair Judgement, and Demon were the others at this festival. I'll put out a poll in a few days!
