Lyrics:
Demon of the Fall
Silent dance with death.
Everything is lost.
Torn by the arrival of Autumn.
The blink of an eye, you know it's me
You keep the dagger close at hand.
And you saw nothing.
False love turned to pure hate.
The wind cried a lamentation
before merging with the grey.
Demon of the fall.
Gasping for another breath.
She rose, screaming at closed doors.
Seductive faint mist forging
through the cracks in the wall.
I shant resist.
In tears for all of eternity.
She turned around and faced me for the first time.
Run away, run away.
Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
That day came to an end.
And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE.

[@billtinsley366]

It really seems like Fredrik was a fan before he joined by just how into it he gets playing the older times. And he's definitely one of the most underrated guitarists out there

[@soakedbearrd]

He’s such a fantastic player.

[@David_Miller522]

Well said

[@TheRealXenosapien]

That last riff ALWAYS gives me the chills. Timeless song.

[@union-hu7rl]

Absolute banger

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

One of the most talented bands of our time.

[@mileshackett4781]

I rediscovered My Arms, Your Hearse recently after not listening to much metal in the past 10 years, but holy shit is that album and this song in particular incredible or what? Actual geniuses.

[@TheJackoloco]

its a masterpiece in the history of music

[@wildstyle3743]

Keyboards in this are fukcin' magical, they give to the song another dimension.

[@mr.rubberfinger606]

Jordan Rudess should take notes.

[@thundermug88]

Could've easily edited it out the guitar screw up but kept it in. Just like during The Lotus Eater at Royal Albert Hall. Respect.

[@lizardguitarguy]

This DVD sounds amazing so far. Mikael’s growls are sounding much better. I hope we’ll get one last record with those signature growls again. Stoked for this and a new album either way! Long live Opeth.

[@Heavymetaleternia]

Jacob Ewing His growls are sounding better, but they are still very weak compared to his former growls.

[@lizardguitarguy]

T K well he’s in his 40s and has been doing it for decades. I’m happy he can still growl decently. I’ll take this over Opeth retiring their heavy sound completely!

[@Heavymetaleternia]

Jacob Ewing Well, if you do it correctly, age isn‘t responsible for losing the ability to growl as this is no natural singing. I think he just didn‘t train his growls very much in the past few years as he no longer needs them for their recent material.

[@LeonHaselbach]

T K you are totally wrong.. the age affects the tension and position of your throat and requires slight changes in technique. Mikael actually smokes... I think that lowered his lung volume over the time, so he has problems to get a stabile breath. All in all its complaining on a high level. I know no other singer who has such an voluminous growl. I am sure that no one would complain about him if he had always been on todays level ;) we are extremely spoilt^^

[@Heavymetaleternia]

Leon Haselbach No, I‘m not. A healthy singer shouldn‘t lose that much of his voice already in his 40s! We don‘t speak about a 60 year old singer. What about singers like Mercury, Dickinson, Dio, etc.? They didn‘t lose anything when they were as young as Mikael. Smoking like you said can be a cause for worse singing, but not the age of 40(+) alone.

[@jmartin67]

The mix and sound quality of these two songs that have been released are perfect.

[@ponchociveira]

Not only that, but the cinematography. I guess they didn't want this album just to sound good, but to look amazing. JESUS H FUCKING CHRIST, everything is perfect!

[@RicardoJBRodrigues]

It’s called David Castillo and Tony Lindgren, Fascination Street Studios doesn’t fuck around!

[@legalizexit]

his drummer is a beast live! clean and powerfull

[@demonizer123]

Axe is a beast behind the drums, but nothing will ever top what López sounded like. Man, that guy can hit some grooves.

[@shinedrummer]

@@demonizer123 I still preferr Axe, mostly because he can play Deliverance better live than Lopez did. No disrespect meaned. I love Soen too, and Lopez can't be replaced. But Axe is a legit monster too.

[@blppt]

@@shinedrummer LOL...thats the one song I would say that I've never seen Axe play as well as Lopez did on Lamentations. Sure, there were a couple of flubs on that performance, but that was one of the first shows they played the song at. And one thing that Axe never seems to have mastered is the feel that Lopez had on his material. Axe is a technically better drummer though, no question, I won't argue that. And is more precise in his playing, but it comes off as rather mechanical compared to Lopez's best performances. To each his own I guess.

[@soakedbearrd]

Yeah the drums are sick in this, axe is killing it!

[@GhostSymptoms]

New Opeth fans: "What kind of Sorceress is this?".

[@MrChristK]

Are there new fans, though??

[@antonschroder145]

i always knew the name opeth but never gave them a listen until a few days back. guess im a new opeth fan haha

[@MrChristK]

Their recent releases are more prog/hard rock... but the classic stuff is awesome.

[@jasoncain4011]

Yeah, quite a few. When i saw them in Nashville, it was clear that a good part of the crowd wasn't real familiar with stuff prior to Watershed and even less than that were familiar with stuff before Damnation. I remember being surprised by how few seemed to recognize this song or "By The Pain I See In Others." Still a good vibe though, you could just see a divide in the familiarity.

[@Dakedoom]

I've never seen anyone say they prefer the Sorceress stuff to, say, Deliverance or Blackwater Park

[@cringelorddivine9337]

I feel more than lucky to have seen them live at least once in my life.

[@michanephilim9043]

I've seen them 3 times so far and they were the best metal moments of my life up to date :-) !

[@SanskarWagley]

I’ve only seen them once, way overdue

[@LeonHaselbach]

I saw them four times. First in 2009 together with Dream Theater, Bigelf and Unexpect. One hell of a evening...nearly 6 hours of progressive music^^

[@MaximumLevelAudio-BrianKnop]

6 times. Including front row for this exact show! :-)

[@cringelorddivine9337]

@@MaximumLevelAudio-BrianKnop You, specifically, are a lucky dude my friend.

[@tophercf508]

Regardless of how Michael sounds, his passion is still there, and that fucking rocks. He shouldn't be growling at all for his health, yet he does it for music, and his fans. That's sacrifice and that's what makes him so much more amazing.

[@soakedbearrd]

For a live performance, this is fantastic.

[@Heisen-d3n]

For the audio its incredible, but for his voice shows weak :(

[@temporarymomentary]

Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her credence.

God, The mixing is so so so good, you can hear every single instrument clearly...

[@darkfull9050]

The sound quality of this live is out of this world

[@acadia5898]

their piezo pickups sound so good

[@pauln2143]

..LOVE the spinal tap cover in the middle there. \m/

[@embracerodusk2537]

As much as I love Mikael's metal vocals, I still say David Vincent's early to mid 90's vocals in Morbid Angel are the best death metal vocals of all time. I bet Mikael would agree.

[@lalainaichane319]

Almost 10 years after I discovered Opeth, I'm still amazed by how excellent musicians they are, and how good of a songwriter Mikael is. This is amazing.

[@celica49]

I was at this show last May. Definitely an amazing night between Opeth and Gojira both tearing the place up.

[@JorgeRamirezSerrato]

DEMONNN! DEMON OF THE FAHHLL!

[@JSMCalder]

I've been well into Opeth since Still Life. Album after album of pure g-spot hitting goodness. A band incapable of writing a bad album. Can't wait to see this

[@andrekreou1]

Can't believe that almost every live performance has techincal issues. Remember what happened on Royal Albert Hall during Wraith and Lotus Eater!!!

[@paragone4604]

Listening to this on streaming I thought that long pause was planned genius to build tension, very cool to see it was a beautiful technical malfunction

[@danieltanguay5750]

At 3:00 around i think he asking the crew to switch amp. great musisan ship and profesionalist. top level.

The opeth that i remembered in 2004

[@MissAzul2]

M.A.... Amazing live recording! 👏

[@bobunitone]

This brings be back to homeroom in high school. Being that metal kid in the back, listening to Opeth on my iPod, drawing evil shit in the margins of my homework. \m/

[@mnordavind]

It's good to know that they still remember those good old days

[@databloom70]

I was at this show. It was windy and cold, and the live sound suffered greatly because of the wind. Sounds like they took the recording right off the board, which saved it for posterity I think.

[@BlackwaterPaul]

Absolutely amazing mix. Can't wait for the dvd ☺ I'm so excited to hit that play button and watch it at high volume ♥

[@ProgSnob14]

Cant wait for this. Day 1 purchase!

[@nok460]

This has so many cuts you cannot see even for a second how they play their riffs.

[@MrKindaSux]

oh my god what would i give for another album like my arms , your hearse or ghost of perdition or blackwater park . i miss the old opeth so much.

[@01theyounggun]

DimaIsOnFire ghost of perdition is a song...

[@MrKindaSux]

@@01theyounggun Sorry i meant Ghost Reveries, was typing fast didn't notice , and the song is so good just came to my mind.

Nice to hear that piezo bridge on åkerfledt's PRS

[@queweamiraitantofeoculiao5826]

Mikael growls are fucking terrifying man, love it.

[@Idontknowone1able]

I saw them the day after this in Kansas City. IT was just as glorious. With the addition of Gojira, the best concert Ive ever been to.

[@emiliomoisesmedinarojas91]

Aguante Opeth!!! 🎸

[@MetalWaniTV]

What an amazing mix.... Thumps up to the dude behind the desk.

[@seybsnilksz]

This is not the mix from the desk. It was mixed for the release by David Castillo. Amazing mix as you say though!

[@majedahmed89]

Looking forward to seeing you at Wacken 2019! Cheers from Palestine!

[@ramoncardinali]

The growls are still there! Much better than the last years.

[@messiah2230]

Yes it is really better

[@LeonHaselbach]

even 2015 when they played Ghost Reveries he sounded amazing again. But this is clearly another huge step to his old level :)

[@Heavymetaleternia]

...but still very weak compared to his former growls.

[@LIVEtoROCK86]

There, but barely there.

[@darkamyntas3820]

For anyone missing old school Opeth, check out Ambrotype. Found them not too long ago and blew me the fuck away.

[@manoelborges9748]

Make Opeth Great again!

[@metfan4l]

Did those growls seem very much re-recorded in post to anyone else? Anyway, doesn't matter. This seems like a really well produced dvd, I'm looking forward to watching the whole thing!

[@LeonHaselbach]

definitely not rerecorded.. saw him in 2015 and he sounded that great even back then.

[@francismcalister7811]

Didn't want to write a comment like this, but unfortunately I feel in the same way. Moreover, if you pay attention to the video, the camera's attention is always focused on the other members when Mikael is growling. The few short moments when he's framed it just doesn't feel 100% right

[@lnMidnightClad]

someone commented on another video from this dvd that they were there at the recording and that the growls in the released verion are definitely over dubbed ans they sound different to what it did live at the event.

[@s4blues637]

I like this growl. It’s understandable. Great job!

[@aviannikagloria4592]

Wow.... Im very lucky again. Thank you opeth and nuclearblast

[@KryticalError]

ALL HAIL! my favorite band ever and one of the most brilliant songwriters and performers of all time. i love the new stuff because i love anything Opeth, but man... it's good to hear these older sounds. i'll keep hoping for another classically heavy Opeth album (by this i mean screams/growls & clean vocals and 8-12 minute journeys) - but no matter what, i will buy and listen to a million times.

[@marceloandrade4715]

Amazing!!!!

[@agustinperera7244]

beautiful just beautiful. opeth at his peak

[@JIMHusky]

De ::) onn demooonnnn. Ooffff the fallll demon demonnnn aaahhhhhhhhuuuuhhhhhhhhh

[@ItsMeNobody666]

First off, this is awesome. However, does it really need to be cut this wide? I’d prefer a normal 16x9 aspect ratio.

[@edtee6458]

lol facts

[@megatremoloud8213]

Definitely put this one on my wish list... btw this ver of Demon Of The Fall is really amazing...

[@ilikecheezepizza]

YES!!!!!

[@tylerjacobson8012]

This is like the most evil sounding song. In the best away. It’s not giant double bass with fast chugging guitar. It’s got melody and space. Which is so different than most songs that are as “evil sounding”. This sounds like something they’d play as the earth is being ripped to shreds by some demon.

[@jimtguitarist]

Whoa, that drummer!

[@andreacaloiaro6038]

People assume that growling for 20 years doesn't affect vocal chords? Opeth's discography shows that Mikael takes his singing seriously. He wants to be able to sing for another 20 years; I appreciate that more than him trying to keep up last decades' growl caliber.

[@edtee6458]

as a fan. id rather them prepare for one or 3 shows a year when mikeal can actually sound good. this is negative good bro. why doesnt this break your heart?

[@andreacaloiaro6038]

Opeth is professional. The band is the career. Bands no longer make money on record sales like in past decades. Revenue is accrued from touring, selling merch, live recordings and TV publicity and endorsements. Touring is essential. Self-preservation for longevity is important for this reason. How many heavily touring metal and rock bands end up burning their vocalists out too soon?

[@cha7013]

great point. hard work to sing those growls, that has to really grate his vocal chords.

[@arpandas5668]

The first band which gave me a different taste of Prog Metal. ❤❤

[@baldwin0629]

Im glad the sound quality of this dvd is better than this show was. We figured it was because they were shooting for the dvd. Great show but the live sound quality was distracting.

[@golz9785]

Opeth is GOAT

[@dreamblack1124]

This is the best song with brutal vocals EVER!!!!

Opeth the best.

[@DaveGru]

The one and only OPETH.

[@asstanu1]

Great

[@sinnertrain7405]

I confess that my first Opeth record was Damnation, i.e., I had to ease into this band. I soon got into their extreme prog death sound, so much so that I was initially disappointed when they went full prog later on. Anyway, I believe that they're one of the greatest bands of this century and are truly unique. I have everything they've put out, even the box set of Opeth's first three albums. I LOVE that this new song has growly vocals, even though I don't care for such singing, for the most part. Like anything, some people know how to do it right, many do not.

[@rileyr328]

Not sure if you misspoke, but it's not a new song. "Demon of the Fall" is off 'My Arms, Your Hearse' (1998).

[@sinnertrain7405]

Sorry, it's been ages since I've listened to "My Arms, Your Hearse." This song from that album still sounds great and "My Arms" is the 1st Opeth album that sounded like Opeth, in my opinion.

[@sinnertrain7405]

Official song? Perhaps you're thinking of one of your favorite metalcore acts. Go listen to your Five Finger Death Punch records. ;-)

[@abhisekgupta9319]

Bring back the growls! :(

[@Heisen-d3n]

I have to disagree, his voice was quite weak :(

[@UponThisAltar]

The fact that they're incorporating keyboards into old tracks is so cool, I actually prefer this to the original. Also really digging the raw tone Mikael has in his growls now, brings a bit of a doom feel. Sounds a lot better than he has in the last couple years.

[@rhmtidiot]
