Opeth are the one band who will NEVER EVER disappoint me. Hands down the best metal band in the world, and without a shadow of a doubt the most musical.
Yea, if you don't like this song then you're not an Opeth fan. Thank f'n whatever God you believe in that this band still exists after losing two phenomenal members. Can't wait to see thim in May. Thanks for the upload.
I wish people would stop saying that Akerfeldt 'doesn't care about his fans' - he most definitely does. He communicates through the web with his blogs - he is friendly, funny and articulate, and never tries to fob us off by making every album sound like a rehash. Kudos to Akerfeldt.
They opened their show with this song a few months back. Man, the piano part starting at 0:10 brought tears to my eyes. literally! THAT was a fucking kick ass show. HAIL OPETH \m/
i was blown away from that performance!!! Mendez has cut his hair, the solo was frigen awesome from akesson!! and the drumming was very good as well. All in all, i think we can expect an opeth classic album coming up... its like they can do no wrong...and as a band just keep evolving and getting better..
It's the music that moved them to clapped their hands.. First time i saw the video i was like "Wtf is this crowed on..??" and then I realized.. it's Opeth.. :) But seriously though.. I agree with you.
Peter went Family > Touring 6 months of the year. So I totally respect his wishes. But I'm sure his shoes will never be filled. I will surely miss Martin's drumming though. That is something I will always be really bitter for. Not cause he left, but that his illnesses will not permit him to continue to make such wonderful contributions to Opeth.
i think it's good stuff, i like the diversity of sounds that Opeth offers because that is what make them a extraordinary band.....im waiting the new album AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damnation was awesome, a really relaxing album (and don't forget it was put out in contrast to Deliverance, which was heavier than anything they'd put out)
i pretty much had your same reaction to the two new songs. but the next day i listened to them a couple more times, and fell in love with it. idk, hopefully the same'll happen to you.
There's some nice parts to this, the long outro is gorgeous even in major lo fi, Of course Watershed is going to to be brilliant, I've come to expect no less from them, just how brilliant though who knows...
Okay, Mendez cut his hair, Akesson's one of top 3 guitarists in Sweden, Axe kicks ass on the new cd. What the hell is it with people just not accepting this line-up? The new cd is fantastic, I heard it, it's just AMAZING...
And Mikael said this performance was a bit rough? It's fucking spot on! And to all those people who think Akesson's solo sucks, I'm giving you the finger. The man's pro, he hit that solo spot on, on first performance, every note's perfect compared to the studio version.
After this release I only have seen Mikael with this Morbid Angel t shirt. Three magazines, a live gig, and a video interview. Is that any kind of bet??
Damn straight he doesn't care. Which is why there is no need for the "It doesn't sound like it used too", because obviously new album, new members = new direction. But yeah i really enjoyed that, especially Fredericks solo, it was kicking. Always remember that anything that Mikael makes/endorces is something we must trust will be good.
First thing of theirs that I've heard with Legolas on the drums lol (they joke with him about looking like Legolas). Awesome! The recording quality wasn't the best, but oh well.
I wish the sound quality was better, as it sounds like a great song, I cannot wait to hear it at Defenders of the Earth nor to get the album later in the year
This is the best song in the new album along with Burden... Holy shit, this is groundbreaking monster among the death metal songs, and the solo at the end it's a masterpiece the only song i didn't like in the new album is porcelain heart... but opeth didn't let me down with this new album =) opeth forever!
they clapped for the asewome solo followed by that acoustic interlude.. wich is typical opeth. I never knew mikeal could play slide guitar to, that was cool. on blackwaterpark some othher dude did the parts.
well as long as they don't do another music video (their biggest mistake ever), this album will b really good, and yes they are great musicians, shit Mendez is the reason i respect bassist so much now, and also my main inspiration to take up playing bass guitar, its pretty sad how theres so many people who can't respect them for their talent (at least in my city theirs alot of those people)
it'll be fuckin awesome if by small chance they sell the cd at their concert...either way i'll be hearing some songs from Watershed a month b4 the album, the tour is going to kick ass
It doesn't sound like this is the entire song, as it sort of just cuts in. But its amazing and I can't wait for "Watershed." I also noticed Mendez's haircut. Maybe it's tied back.
@NinjaSCA It's good if it is charted properly... and lets face it. Those games are made for entertainment,., and Opeth would be great. I see your point though.
I don't really care for the 2 new songs. Maybe I need to listen to them a few more times and let them sink in. But I never needed to with any opeth song in the past. Any other opeth song I'd listen to would instantly draw me in.
Fucking sweet.... Definitely looking forward to Watershed. I hope Akesson doesn't take over all of Mikael's solo duties, hes really good and all that, but I still wanna hear Mikael's solos. And was it just me, or is there no clean vocals in this song?? wtf?
Opeth are the one band who will NEVER EVER disappoint me. Hands down the best metal band in the world, and without a shadow of a doubt the most musical.

Can't wait to see thim in May.

this is like deliverance par 2. One of the best songs ever !!!
nice. I was right next to the guy that took this. Awesome show, great song. I wish people had shut up though while they were playing it.
Watershed is the best album of the actual opeth's discography. No doubt about it. Awesome
They really never stop to evolving.Opeth is great
This shit was cool.
Reminded me of Ghost Reveries.
They opened their show with this song a few months back. Man, the piano part starting at 0:10 brought tears to my eyes. literally! THAT was a fucking kick ass show.
HAIL OPETH \m/
this is awesome. cant wait to see them may 3!!
So...ya I'll be seeing this live in a month. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Great!!!!! Can't wait for the new cd!!!
Epic! More people need to listen to this music and understand just how clever it is.
Love it. Cannot wait for the new album!
i was blown away from that performance!!! Mendez has cut his hair, the solo was frigen awesome from akesson!! and the drumming was very good as well. All in all, i think we can expect an opeth classic album coming up...
its like they can do no wrong...and as a band just keep evolving and getting better..
Where is Lindgren??? Great video and song... reminds me the times of Orchid and Morningrise..
sounds good to me i cant wait for the new stuff to drop. Opeth lives !!!!!!
This is a great new song!!! Could become my favorite
It's the music that moved them to clapped their hands..
First time i saw the video i was like "Wtf is this crowed on..??" and then I realized.. it's Opeth.. :)
But seriously though.. I agree with you.
This has an extremely high rate of awesomeness.
Saw it played at Brixton. IT RULES... can't wait for the album to b released so i can cry with joy >:[]
sweeeet, akkeson!

x)

This is definatley their most brutal song. This showes how fierce Opeth can be at times
In standard tuning
i think it's good stuff, i like the diversity of sounds that Opeth offers because that is what make them a extraordinary band.....im waiting the new album AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn!! FÅ has been with the band since 2008!!! Christ, this Opeth fan is getting old. Sorry but I truly miss the Lindgren/Lopez days
Damnation was awesome, a really relaxing album (and don't forget it was put out in contrast to Deliverance, which was heavier than anything they'd put out)
Yeaaaahhhh!!!! I'll be looking 'em straight in tha back of tha head from my seat in The Tabernacle... apparently.
Fucking hell, Melloboat would have been the best fucking thing to go to ever...
this album is gunna be sooooooooo fuckin sick, June 3, 2008, i can't fuckin wait for it, this band is GOD
HAIL OPETH \m/
Mikael is using a slide! That is fantastic!
i pretty much had your same reaction to the two new songs. but the next day i listened to them a couple more times, and fell in love with it. idk, hopefully the same'll happen to you.
There's some nice parts to this, the long outro is gorgeous even in major lo fi, Of course Watershed is going to to be brilliant, I've come to expect no less from them, just how brilliant though who knows...
Es la primera vez que la escucho y me gustó. Pocas veces me pasa eso con un tema.
Okay, Mendez cut his hair, Akesson's one of top 3 guitarists in Sweden, Axe kicks ass on the new cd. What the hell is it with people just not accepting this line-up? The new cd is fantastic, I heard it, it's just AMAZING...
It's so fun to do!
i love it.
the ending is soo MAYH.
And Mikael said this performance was a bit rough? It's fucking spot on! And to all those people who think Akesson's solo sucks, I'm giving you the finger. The man's pro, he hit that solo spot on, on first performance, every note's perfect compared to the studio version.
This if fucking awesome\m/ I think i've watched this vid 10 times in a row now :]
After this release I only have seen Mikael with this Morbid Angel t shirt.
Three magazines, a live gig, and a video interview. Is that any kind of bet??

Damn straight, on all those counts!
Cant wait for Watershed!

Damn straight he doesn't care. Which is why there is no need for the "It doesn't sound like it used too", because obviously new album, new members = new direction.
But yeah i really enjoyed that, especially Fredericks solo, it was kicking.
Always remember that anything that Mikael makes/endorces is something we must trust will be good.
this fucking winzzz cant wait for the new album!!!
First thing of theirs that I've heard with Legolas on the drums lol (they joke with him about looking like Legolas). Awesome! The recording quality wasn't the best, but oh well.
Totally agree with this.
I wish the sound quality was better, as it sounds like a great song, I cannot wait to hear it at Defenders of the Earth nor to get the album later in the year
absolutely !
This is the best song in the new album along with Burden...
Holy shit, this is groundbreaking monster among the death metal songs, and the solo at the end it's a masterpiece
the only song i didn't like in the new album is porcelain heart... but opeth didn't let me down with this new album =)
opeth forever!
Good stuff. Looking forward to the album. But, uhm, does the new guitarist think this is 1986? He plays like it...especially his solo.
they clapped for the asewome solo followed by that acoustic interlude.. wich is typical opeth.
I never knew mikeal could play slide guitar to, that was cool. on blackwaterpark some othher dude did the parts.
this song is fuckin rockin
most have this album!!
opeth have to be on the next guitar hero game, their riffs are amazing especialy porcelain heart!!!!!
well as long as they don't do another music video (their biggest mistake ever), this album will b really good, and yes they are great musicians, shit Mendez is the reason i respect bassist so much now, and also my main inspiration to take up playing bass guitar, its pretty sad how theres so many people who can't respect them for their talent (at least in my city theirs alot of those people)
man... even if Mikael would get bald they'd still be awesome. Just sit back and let the music take you.
HELL YEAH!
Saw this live last night =].
Amazing band..
Shame they didn't play Ghost of Perdition.
The Lotus eater is brutal :D
awesommmoooo
love that ending. the new cd fucking rapes.
it'll be fuckin awesome if by small chance they sell the cd at their concert...either way i'll be hearing some songs from Watershed a month b4 the album, the tour is going to kick ass
yup!

LOL indeed mate!
watershed is set to relese on june 3erd
THANKYOU!!! SO MUCH
Now I can download this video with the grabber :-P
Stupid dinodance and their 'exclusivity'. Not in the spirit of metal imo.
totally agree.
Fred.... something \o/
The Sheep!
he he he!
his name is Fredrik Åkesson
METAL LORDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@NinjaSCA hahaha made me laugh but its so true
the on w/ the short is martin mendez, hes not the new guy, the one w/ the afro like hair is the new one
check out the better quality vid thats now up.
It doesn't sound like this is the entire song, as it sort of just cuts in. But its amazing and I can't wait for "Watershed."
I also noticed Mendez's haircut. Maybe it's tied back.
I can't hear exactly what he is saying cuz of the low quality of the sound but I expect that the lyrics from this new album shall be great as usual...
Every Opeth album has a different theme and atmosphere.. you should know this if you're an Opethian.. :)
@NinjaSCA It's good if it is charted properly... and lets face it. Those games are made for entertainment,., and Opeth would be great. I see your point though.
haha! unusual sight
I don't really care for the 2 new songs. Maybe I need to listen to them a few more times and let them sink in. But I never needed to with any opeth song in the past. Any other opeth song I'd listen to would instantly draw me in.
misspelled indeed, his name is Fredrik Åkesson
Fucking sweet.... Definitely looking forward to Watershed. I hope Akesson doesn't take over all of Mikael's solo duties, hes really good and all that, but I still wanna hear Mikael's solos.
And was it just me, or is there no clean vocals in this song?? wtf?
wait, why are they using marshalls?
don't they have a thing with laney?
Wtf? did mendez cut his hair? anyways.. this is badass, so wish i couldve been there
:thumbs up:
Why do people in the first place say that he doesnt care about his fans?
:OO!! WATERSHED!!!!!!
