Oh yes, Mikael Akerfeldt's unibrow streamed live to my desktop in HD. My life is now complete.

Hex Omega. Interesting choice for a closer.

They closed with that when I saw them at Prog Nation 09. I remember thinking I wish they'd swapped the last 2 songs around and closed with Deliverance.

This. I saw them too on that tour and it was pretty anticlimactic to be honest.

He just said "see you on tour in November". UK dates in November? YESSS

I've yet to see Deliverance live, I hope they bring it back for the coming tour.

New interview - mostly about Heritage and all that - but also revealing his love for Road Salt One and him bringing PoS on tour this fall!

I thought Katatonia was playing with them?

zxlkho · « **Reply #1197 on:** July 10, 2011, 02:06:12 PM »

I think Katatonia is just for the North American leg of the tour. PoS is for Europe.

EDIT: Awesome interview. Mikael is so cool.

God dammit they need to switch the two around.

zxlkho · « **Reply #1199 on:** July 10, 2011, 02:17:23 PM »

fuck no they don't. Katatonia is so good, and I can't wait to see them.

Gadough · « **Reply #1200 on:** July 10, 2011, 02:19:32 PM »

Actually, as much as I love Katatonia, I wouldn't mind them switching. I love PoS and I wouldn't pass up the chance to see them live. Especially in North America.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #1201 on:** July 10, 2011, 02:35:09 PM »

I'd like them to switch so Opeth would have a supporting act with more than one song.

This. So. Much.

Katatonia is so bad.

Or just cut all opening acts because Opeth > Everything

skydivingninja · « **Reply #1209 on:** July 11, 2011, 07:34:08 AM »

I'd rather see PoS than Katatonia. I mean, Remedy Lane is a pretty good album. I've had "A Taste of Blood" stuck in my head for a few days now, so I'd at least like those songs. "Sisters" is great too. Katatonia has "Forsaker" and every song that sounds like it.

pos over katatonia? you've gotta be shittin me.

pogoowner · « **Reply #1211 on:** July 11, 2011, 01:58:46 PM »

I'd definitely prefer PoS to Katatonia.

Global Laziness · « **Reply #1213 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:05:28 PM »

I'm pretty sure that show on November 9th would require time travel. Which would be awesome.

zxlkho · « **Reply #1214 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:07:13 PM »

Idk, they might be able to make it with a private plane, and if they were completely immune to jetlag...

OskarSluring · « **Reply #1215 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:12:46 PM »

Gothenburg but not Stockholm, interesting...

zxlkho · « **Reply #1216 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:14:05 PM »

I'm assuming these are the dates with PoS instead of Katatonia.

Keys are completely inaudible on the stream.
Keyboard solo ruined

It wasn't just in the stream, the keys were really quiet there for pretty much the whole set. Apart from that the mix was fantastic from where I was standing.

EDIT: Oh and although I couldn't really hear his keyboard playing, his backing vocals were awesome. There was some really nice 3-part harmony going on!

Now I only need to find someone that will come with me, none of my friends like Opeth (which automatically demotes them to acquaintances).

Go by yourself if you have to. DON'T MISS IT.

Yeah, Opeth are much more diverse: 10-minute songs featuring both acoustic sections with clean vocals and death metal riffing with growls are SO surprising and unexpected! Not to mention the 3/4-tempo!

Don't get me wrong, I like Katatonia and Opeth equally, and would love to see them both on the same stage, (lucky Americans!) but I feel Katatonia has evolved more over the years (listen to Gateways of Bereavement, Murder, Teargas and Leaders in a row and you get my point) whereas the core of Opeth's music has mostly remained the same. This will change on Heritage, though.

Dec 06 Ice Hall Helsinki, Finland

The last time Opeth were in Finland they played 4 club gigs, and now they'll do only ONE and it's in the Ice Hall? And no gig in their home city, Stockholm? Interesting...

I mean shit dude. He's talking about a band I LOVE, and I know he's joking around.

Ah, I thought he disliked Katatonia, I didn't get that it was a joke!

Gadough · « **Reply #1224 on:** July 12, 2011, 01:45:29 AM »

Well actually, I don't think Seth likes Katatonia. But we joke about shit like this all the time with each other.
