KRIMH - Opeth - The Lotus Eater

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Thank for all the positive feedback! I really appreciate it. ❤️ I filmed this cover not knowing that Martin left the band. It’s just a coincidence guys :)

[@AweeRB26]

Thumbs Up!👍🏼👍🏼Greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🤘🏼

Diesel invented the diesel engine, that's a coincidence :p

Dude you are such an inspiration. Just hoping you see this and keep crushing, I promise I will try my best!

Goddamn right!!!

[@jubankta1627]

Fucking bad ass playing my friend!!

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Any Opeth fans here?

[@jameskirkbydrums]

havent given them much of a listen, but now i'll give them more attention because i didnt realise they sound great! :D

[@eiiier]

YES!

[@ThorWalez]

Selbstverständlich!

[@KrzysztofG.]

fucking yes!!! Try that one- Opeth - "Reverie / Harlequin Forest"

[@uploadguy]

yes..hallo from Indonesia

[@Sithreis]

Still blows my mind that Heir Apparent and Lotus Eater were from the same album. Insanely good cover

[@JiNKA]

Why? They’re relatively similar any many ways.

[@JiNKA]

Lotus just has a bit more flavor here and there

[@movimentodoscacos]

@@JiNKA I think they just mean both are really fucking good

[@Sithreis]

@@movimentodoscacos This. Just crazy to think how two tracks of that magnitude dropped on the same album and not years apart.

[@natecowan6913]

Man, Martin Axenrot will be sorely missed. I think Opeth's music expanded when he became a member. Great cover man, this couldn't have been an easy one from a drum master like Martin. You pick some of the most complicated drummers to cover. Awesome.

[@huimo4886]

is he dead?

[@Leo_music88]

@@huimo4886he left or got kicked

[@lionelleneindre8426]

@@Leo_music88 He didn't take the covid vaccine which was mandatory to play in public before. Therefore he wasn't able to play with opeth live anymore

Krimh + Opeth AWESOME ! Watershed is a masterpiece. Can’t wait for the new Septicflesh album, much love from Turkey.

[@satricon]

YES! honestly my favorite album of theirs! The level of talent and musicianship is INSANE!

[@FranHn1982]

Have you never listened Ghost Reveries!!! But, yes, Watershed is amazing.

[@mateus_gtrr]

I Agree

[@demonshinji]

@@FranHn1982 their best album and lineup

[@AllTheRamenOnTheSky]

One of my favorite Opeth tracks covered by one of my favorite drummers.

[@maruxarn]

Your drumming style suits Opeth perfectly. Especially older Lopez-songs!

[@aestheticwolf7769]

Funny cause the More brutal parts aré from axe, but just in a few moments of watershed

[@ozzmin666]

I agree, you’re more Lopez-like :-) It would be awesome if you did a cover of Deliverance!

[@drummerdan95]

Love it, this is the song that made me a fan years ago. Very curious that you're covering it now that Axe has left 👀

[@caceres2020]

my thought exactly :)

[@lucasbrucas9632]

Honestly, I saw opeth live for the release of their newest album and much of their music is more on the prog-rock side of things. Obviously they are still playing their old songs but I think it would be a weird pick to bring someone like Krimh on to play for them while the band is much less focused on their metal past. Possibly though, haha

[@coolduke3000]

Oooohhhh is it possible?

[@caceres2020]

krimh has got my vote

[@BBEDrummerAK]

@@lucasbrucas9632 Axenrot was playing straight death metal before his stint with Opeth, which included 'Heritage'. So it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for a drummer like Krimh to join the ranks, rather than make a more "prog-minded" drummer try to play the older death metal stuff. Jussayin

[@neilmaccanbell9813]

My favorite tune by opeth that and face of Melinda... actually all of "still life" hits deep with me ive said goodbye to opeth these days but hold them in high regard and respect them still for being themselves im just not into the newer direction but I have my classics

[@fcamiola]

Ill never place Sorcerer or Pale Communion on the level of Still Life, Ghost Reveries, Deliverance, etc however they are still worthy. I am a true Opeth head as I essentially LOVE all of it. My biggest gripe is the drum production on Orchid and Morningrise...way toooooo much reverb and just sounds....bad. Musically amazing however. PS...In Cauda Venenum has grown soooo much....its unbelievable really. A masterpiece. Worth another 10 spins if you still aren't on board. Try it again if you're feeling it. Cheers.

[@sabero5668]

Still Life is the greatest album ever released for a reason. The prog rock has grown on me, I transitioned from it to Opeth I can transition back a step, but at the same time the death metal with juicy bits of prog rock in it is what made me fall in love with this band, and I'm glad to see them return to their roots. I never thought 2024 would bring a death metal concept album from Opeth, but here we are.

[@lucasbrucas9632]

If I remember right, this is the only Opeth song with true blast beats! I could be mistaken though, I just remember reading that. Anyway, amazing song and amazing playing as always!

[@Alex-Walker]

Yeah I think so. I can't think of another song with blast beats.

[@ChordxClient]

It is. Mikael said he wanted Axe to basically “show off” his skills when he was writing the song

[@dresXCI]

@@Alex-Walker Axe added some blast-beats to Wreath as a sort of climax to the song.

[@intotheprog]

@@dresXCI I came here to write exactly this.

[@nocnyautobus9971]

Yeah, they only added some blastbeats later for live renditions of Wreath.

[@MarStacey]

when the beat drops back in & that hi-hat groove starts, it's impossible to resist bobbing yr head ✨✨✨✨

[@Penfield451]

What a wonderful reason to listen to some more Opeth) Great work as always, man)

[@bryanmack5410]

I flew to Boston to see Opeth in November, two days after Axe left....thank you for jumping into the seat to make that show possible (and amazing).

[@charlenemack7040]

Sir, I believe I saw you there!!! Where you the one wearing the top hat and swimmers mask??? 🎩🤿 🤟🖤😎

[@bryanmack5410]

@@charlenemack7040 I had the top hat, yes, but the man in the swimmers was my gimp.

[@MAGICSPRODUCER]

always wanted to hear this drum cover from you. really awesome!

[@JSMCalder]

Mate, that was mint. One of my favourite Opeth tunes from a ridiculously good album. Well played 👏🏻👏🏻

[@spieglass3211]

I've always been a stickler for accuracy in single instrument covers, because even note for note every musician has their own distinct feel. This is by far the most accurate drum cover of this difficult song I've seen. Nasty.

[@SarahAParis]

Listened to this for the first time this Morning, and I couldn't help but take my hair out of the ponytail and headbang!🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘This is AWESOME Krimh!😍I love it!👏👏👏👏

[@Chilipotamus]

The audio balancing on this recording is immense, I can almost hear each cymbals position on the kit in my headphones. Really immaculate cover my dude!

[@baalgrath7933]

Never thought I'd see Krimh cover Opeth, but here we are. And he fucking nailed it! Thank you for taking the time on those ghost notes!

[@AlienorchestraNetoslo]

Never thought you'd cover this, even shorter version, great performance

[@Marcolow69]

My favorite Opeth song to date. Great drum cover.

[@metalgrinde]

Watching you grow as a drummer over the years has been a very cool journey. You are a drummer in every sense of the word and a fucking metal beast. Rock on brother!!

[@richharris9489]

He has gotten much better. Much talent this isn't easy

[@emrod6]

Opeth? I didn't expect you to take this band to a "workshop" Fuc#ing well done!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@IPGuitars]

Krimh playing Lotus Eater? "You son of a bitch, I'm in." Have always loved this song specifically because of the drum parts, so it was cool to see you cover this! Great work with such a difficult piece.

[@guneyozanylmaz6206]

Incredible play. We would like to see more Opeth covers please.

[@fcamiola]

Yes....more Opeth please! Insane playing! I love the Decapitated too.

[@majikkraptor4697]

Man, I'm stoked that you did this song! I still remember finding your channel after you covered Day 69, before you were in Decapitated. It's been a super pleasure to watch you throughout the years!

[@ZacBurton]

the fact that you hit the accents on the bell during the blasts beats blows me away. amazing! \m/

[@mrcleglaw256]

damn its flawless. getting serious early martin lopez vibes, with his record for deliverance.yeaaars years back. this makes me even more excited for the next album!

[@JellyRoger_XIII]

Huge album, amazing song, great play-through. Even just lookin' at the intensity of the drums part you see how much fun would be to play and record it. Wonder how much time took a Pro player like you, Krimh, to fully rememb and play 1take it. Great job my friend ! 👏👏👏💪🤘

[@mojojojo6852]

Absolutely amazing. Your cymbals sound great, also your drums. Love your right hand side china! Also thanks for digging out this banger! Watershed's my favorite Opeth LP after Blackwater Park of course.
