Opeth performing Folklore, live at Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 16 December 2011
Opeth is a progressive metal band from Sweden that is influenced by many diverse musical styles ranging from jazz, 1970s progressive rock, death metal, and blues. Their recent releases have deviated from their traditional death metal influenced style, with more emphasis on progressive elements. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is also noted for utilizing both clean singing and death growls, often in the same track. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, Opeth are often classified separately from more typical death metal acts. The name Opeth was taken from Wilbur Smith's novel Sunbird and derived from Opet, a city of the moon named in the novel.
Opeth was formed in Stockholm, Södermanland, Sweden in 1990 by David Isberg. Isberg invited Mikael Åkerfeldt to join the band at a practice session as a bass player, but failed to inform the current bass player or any of the other members of the band. Because of this, all band members except for Isberg quit, and Åkerfeldt soon joined Opeth after his band, Eruption, faltered. With Åkerfeldt on guitar and David Isberg on vocals, Opeth still lacked members and needing more, they were soon joined by long-time friend of Åkerfeldt and former Eruption drummer Anders Nordin and Nick Döring on bass. Andreas Dimeo was recruited as a second guitarist.

[@sacredcow024]

i love how this is their most hated album, and its THIS good! Only a great band can do that.

[@matteovrizzi]

? - not quite. Its either their most hated album, or their best album. It's never in between.

[@sacredcow024]

matteovrizzi no idea what you mean. But...yea, they're great.

[@MikeIsNexciting]

sacredcow024 I think he's saying fans either hate the album or absolutely love it; there's no in-between.

[@matteovrizzi]

Mike Zorzan Yeah thanks, that's exactly what i wanted to say.

[@ThePuertoricanBeastJonathan]

+matteovrizzi nah man its there worst album but its still sick

Even better version than on the album. Probably the most underrated song by Opeth but imho it's brilliant

[@TheVmaster500]

still hasn't happened yet

[@Aphex271]

Well, it happened in the last UK tour. I went to their Birmingham show and Mikael said it was the first and last time they would play it, according to them it's hard af to pull it live haha

[@eddiepacer]

they played moon above sun below in bristol i was there. i think they went to birmingham the next day :) the show was incredible

[@xTNDRstorm]

@@eddiepacer ay man i recognize you from your videos, you're hilarious and wise by the way. Never came across the fact that you're an Opeth fan. Happy to know that.

I get why some death metal guys don’t necessarily enjoy stuff from Heritage and the albums that follow. But me, I say screw ‘em it’s their loss, I love almost anything that Opeth does!

[@yacinelouadj407]

this is our folklore metal song ...brilliant

[@jzmmm]

Best song on Heritage

[@nyaatarara]

I love how they extended the best part of this song

[@giovaniribeiro9529]

6:48 , here starts one of my favorite moments of Opeth live. That solo is awesome!

[@Maytrovato14]

totally agree with you! it give me chills

[@moonlightreveries1459]

Such a beautiful song. I love the jazzy, epic adventure of Heritage. I love every album so much. I could never dislike an album from them, let alone “hate” one. Opeth is the best in the world

[@jensljungberg9152]

wow... Fredrik åkesson might have been the best thing to happen to opeth in a long time :)

[@danic8897]

This is one of my favourite Opeth's songs. Metal folklore yeah!

[@getawaytherapy]

4:55 perfect build up for the climax!

[@DonSampa]

Greetings from Chile. This is freaking amazing.

[@Thrasher5251]

5:05 the bass part gave me chills lol sounds so fuckin evil! It’s like Mikael has said , add distortion hear and there add some growls and its the same shit theyve always played lol

[@michaelnilsson3701]

Oj vilken låt och oj vad häftigt att få höra min älskade Folklore sväva iväg i ett magisk solo utfört av en magiker till gitarrist.Tårarna rinner varje gång jag hör detta magiska stycke.Varför kan man undra är den uttonad på albumet.M V H Micke från Hägersten.

[@campe_0p525]

[@ravenouscolonelhart]

Anyone else hear a hint of Gilmour in the slower parts of the solo, or a Floydian vibe from this song in general?

[@rorimckenzie237]

yeah, maybe... a similarly sort of airy texture

[@michaelnilsson3701]

Tack,tack ,tack. Jag kan aldrig sluta att återkomma till denna monsterversion av en av mina favoritlåtar med Opeth jämte Lotus Eater och den nya galet fantastiska Era. Fortsätt att vidga mina vyer. Jag älskar er för det. Micke från Fruängen

[@reducetheatoms]

i had this dream when I heard opeth playing "folklore" live in a bar near my house, the bar doesnt even exist but i heard them, so this video is like a dream that came true, in a sense.

[@geralpast8493]

lovely!

[@scpmar]

This song is so ducking great! Thanks +Moshcam for bringing this lmL

[@helios5868]

I really feel like Fredrik's solos have gotten a lot better in Opeth. I thought most of his solos on Watershed weren't very good, but he KILLED it on Heritage. They fit the mood a whole lot better.

[@ScottBradyz]

Axe kills it on this album as well. I feel like he's doing his own thing, whereas on Watershed he was attempting to mimic Martin Lopez.

[@mattman1127]

Scott Brady I don't know about all that lol. Never heard Martin Lopez do anything as obnoxious as the second chorus in Porcelain Heart, or the blasts/ridiculous tom rolls in the Lotus Eater. Both are great though. Really it's all up to what Mikael writes and I think everyone else just follows along.

[@steliosp1770]

gotta disagree. he's always been a great guitarist and specifically soloist.. but yeah you can see his style progress as opeth put out albums.. gotta say tho..i dont get how someone can say anything bad about heritage solos when there are insane solos like those in burden - and not only that anyways.

[@mattman1127]

Scott Brady I wrote that last comment having never listened to Deliverance or Damnation. I'm a Lopez believer now, sad to see him go, but Axe isn't a downgrade by any means.

[@istvangyal85]

Thanks a ton for the post!

[@pakatoxama]

they are unbelievable

Goosebumps

[@leif54]

This song is amazing. The whole album hit me right in the feels when they released it. It was an odd feeling waiting for the roars that never came, but the feeling was still the same. Ghost Reveries, Heritage and In Cauda is my three favorite opeth albums. It think my least favorite is sorceress to be honest. To strange Brew is an amazing song!

[@oddyses3]

[@juliangomez716]

[@juanmanuelcastaneda8147]
