You can hear him better on the last two songs, because he growls so far from the mic on Heir Apparent. Maybe he knows his grunts don't sound too good and it's some kind of self-censorship? :P

Anyway, according to the latest FB update the band will play Eternal Rains Will Come, The Drapery Falls, Demon of the Fall and The Grand Conjuration with the orchestra in Plovdiv. I really hope they'll take advantage of the opportunity to play Voice of Treason and Faith in Others - the announcement said "tracks played with orchestra (among others)".
That would be amazing. Faith in Others especially, that song is fantastic.

It'd be ashamed if they didn't play Faith In Others at the Plovdiv gig. Given that it has strings, it'd be a perfect opportunity for it to be played IMO.

Opeth - Wacken Open Air 2015

Great sound and pretty good setlist.

not sure how long it has been like this, but has anyone seen the "new" Pale Communion album cover on last.fm?  Apparently it has been renamed Male Communion.

:lol

I'd be interested to know how they did that, I haven't been able to find a way to upload album art since the travesty of the new design was launched.

I have no need for the 5.1 mixes, but the package looks really cool and I don't own Deliverance on CD yet. I'll listen to the new stereo mixes when they come out and buy this if they sound good.

EDIT: Whoever wrote the product description and the tracklist for Damnation hasn't been awake during their math classes :lol

Hmm...I wonder if they'll have copies of these at the 25th anniversary shows. I'll probably get the Deliverance and Damnation set on vinyl first before getting the CD/5.1 set as I don't have either of the two on vinyl yet.

Absolutely. That's a great setlist with some variety of old, new, harsh and mellow.

I'm actually not a huge fan of Steven Wilson's mixes of Opeth albums, but I'm down for revisiting Deliverance. Damnation has always been such a bore for me.

There are some super low quality videos on YT, this one I think is the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68uk05MjLP8
Same, no video but better audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezC2B7tR7gM

I had to work that night and couldn't attend.

That's disappointing, but I have hope that one day (and think it's pretty much inevitable) that they'll record a massive, awesome show that combines the best of their catalog, both old, new, mellow, harsh and roror alike. It's gotta happen one day.

That said...I'm ready to hear some new stuff from the guys! I just recently got back into them after taking a pretty long break from not listening to anything at all, either new or old. Then I heard two songs back to back on different radio stations (another thing I never, ever do), and it baffled me so much that I had to go back and rekindle the fire. CONSIDER IT AFLAME!!!

Dunno, they'd probably have announced it by now. Hell, they didn't even film any of the unplugged gigs in 2012! Maybe live video sales suck nowadays because of Youtube or SW has brainwashed Mikael to think live DVDs are boring. :-[

Did they even announce that the Royal Albert Hall show in 2010 was being filmed for a DVD beforehand? If they do film for a DVD this tour then perhaps Mikael wants to be tight-lipped about it?

Maannnn.....I can't believe they played Godhead's Lament. I wanna see that one sooo bad.

Also why no Moon Above, Sun Below? This would've been the perfect show to debut it!

I think Voice of Treason was perfect for the show because it's got strings on the album. Faith in Others would've been cool too, but they've probably put most of their energy into rehearsing the GR stuff for the anniversary shows. It's a pity they've played so little of Pale Communion live, but hopefully VOT wasn't just a one-off performance and will be in the anniversary set as well.

Speaking of that, I looked at the schedule for the Helsinki show and it looks like the second set will be 2 hours long, which means that the show will be about 3 h 10 min overall, with a 30-minute intermission between the sets. (That sounds like a long break, but this is a death metal show we're talking about. :P) If they play one song from each album besides GR in those 2 hours, I wonder if they'll manage to squeeze in Black Rose Immortal...
