OPETH - Behind The Sorcery - The Making of Sorceress

[@daineXx]

Fredrik Åkesson is one underrated guitar player omg...

[@coltongriff]

yep

[@atinibel]

nice to see how professional musicians still just try shit until it sounds good

[@MattmanAZ09]

+1

[@Likeaforest]

i wish to play MARTIn shit lol

[@meshzzizk]

Haha, I had the same thought

[@DrunkDuckXD]

Theyre so friendly and get along so well too. Personally I'm happy to watch them make mistakes with such complex music because it makes them and myself seem more human

[@zoltarwizdom6708]

this needs to be like 60 hours longer

[@panchamk3721]

Damn, martin came straight from middle earth to record the drums so mythical, much wow

[@panchamk3721]

This has given me a new perspective to listen to Sorceress. To see how the tracks were recorded, what emotions were involved, and how overall the band and producer felt, is very important and it sets a tone and mindset for the listener

[@MAFiA303]

black floyd

[@TheJLPShow]

We want more! A FULL length documentary please!

[@progfoxmusic]

THE MAKING OF SORCERESS! Well, I mean, the recording of some guitars and keys. I guess.

[@temporarymomentary]

0:30 Nice ! Middle Earth landscape and mighty elvish warrior Legolas appeared to record his drumms, Mirkwood style !

[@SpheresOfMadness85]

That organ playing though!?

[@joaquindeantueno5641]

Fucking blew my mind, awesome

[@Aaron_Gentry]

Very interesting. Kinda bummed I didn't see Mendez playing bass or Axe playing the drums though

[@yvancluet8146]

yeah same... Check in the description there's an extended version, they might be on there but i didn't check i don't know

[@shadifakhouri]

[@KostasPRS]

Mikaels reaction at 6:06. One of the most funny reactions ever seen in history

[@rotemshoshani424]

Mikael @ 3:23 "come on dude, enough with the solo takes" He's just so funny I can't get enough of him

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Frederick is a seriously gifted and smart guitar player.

[@SamperorTV]

Zappa moustache 5/5

[@SOGNAMETAL]

*06:47**: "IT'S VERY DARK SIDE OF THE MOON", YESSIR, DAT 70's ATMOSPHERE FOR FUCKSAKE... I FUCKIN LOVE THESE MAKING OF VIDS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY STRUGGLE WITH SOUNDS AND STUFF, OPETH IN ALL THEIR GLORY*

[@SweatLaserXP]

I think it's obvious that Akerfeldt is an absolute control-freak in the studio, but I think he gives his bandmates a lot of freedom in the creative, early half of the process

[@michaelsnyder1492]

3:47 the jazzy guitars sound so good

[@Daveinitely]

10:00 onwards - What has been seen can't be unseen! Thanks, guys. :D

[@obendelaurencig7706]

Omg Sirius, thank God you finally escape Azkaban! You have really a good voice

[@monkeonthee]

Spring 1974

[@MiguelBurger]

Vijay Maverick "That should be fine, right?"

[@thedevicedrummer]

Love the way he's amazed by screwing with a cutoff filter

[@01loicd]

Beautiful… solos on Spring 1974, so amazing!

[@NigelFortune]

Cant wait to get the album, this sounds awesome!

[@dereksmallsuk]

...Spotify!!!

[@awol1209]

man this is just brilliant to watch. Love seeing how their creative process works and behind the scenes stuff.

[@HIVEMINDxMusic]

12:38 that there is a damn awesome guitar lick

[@colinclark1981]

I love to rewatch this just to see Fredrik play those solos. By far he's my favorite lead guitarist

[@lachlansmith3302]

that feel when even the 'making of' video gives you chills

[@TheScaredofsilence]

Clapton meets Gilmour meets Eric Johnson. Doesn't get any better than that.

[@jamesonbrown3784]

Spring is the most underrated song they have

[@TheHeckler85]

It's crazy that it's a bonus track

[@isaacandrewshernandes3155]

Opeth is probably one of best progresive metal/rock band!until these days me and my girl still plays sorceres cd in car.in cauda venenum 2019 are best album too.gonna meet them in 2021😎👌🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸💽

[@timmypagee]

Was*

[@N3V3rmor365]

Could watch Fredrik play forever! And using a Strat in the studio sounds killer.

[@SickDrummer2438]

Those first 4 minutes really made me wonder why those bonus tracks weren't just in the album...

[@David-cd6ez]

This is great, more please! Also can we get some Méndez bass action and Axe on the kit?

[@onixtheone]

At 2:41 where he did that part in my head I was like "yeah that's it right there!" And they liked it..I think I'm gonna go apply for a job there hahahaha

[@Bryan8329]

That Stratocaster is a thing of beauty.

[@xavi9bhgt556]

8:38 snus spotted

[@toms6464]

Awesome album! I was at the Sydney Opera House and it was one of the best gigs I've been to. Thank you Opeth for bring real music to 2017!

[@betray32]

so glad to see they are using strats to record some songs! :D

[@pinhead9]

at 3:35...."leave it" and then they changed that final solo bit.....oh well, still rocks.

[@garethevans7295]

What a fantastic filter sweep.

[@germanandreagiri3079]

Brent Hinds recorded some great solos there.

[@adamdam]

There's some amazing moments on Sorceress and truly emotionally raw stuff...yet It fails to satisfy me. BUT! I sooooo respect this band and Michael himself for making such a dramatic and honest change in style though, his vocals sound pub singer at best these days, the man was an immense growler but you can't expect that for forever at such the quality he once achieved.

[@random55912]

Nice to see some CMS 65 in the Studio, Opeth does sound great on mine

[@thesoundengine]

I just realised that mike pulls Zappa faces.

[@DrunkDuckXD]

Amazing album, such a great feel and so groovy

[@x-menwelcometodie624]

Only fred make that Lameass Strato feel so badass And Dave Gilmor/jimmy Hendrix etc

[@coast881]

Moog and Hammond sounds are SICK!

[@TheShinyShow]

Very interesting facial expressions in this video!

[@SirRunk666]

No one chews snus, silly.

[@moonflow5133]

SirRunk *sucking Nobody likes a smartass :-)

[@alexishans9882]

This may seem abrupt, but music is a gift from Satan, who is not who Xians say: JOYOFSATAN (.) ORG JOSMINISTRIES (.) PROPHPBB (.) COM

[@ludwigprodigy]

You are correct sir. Are you a Christian?

[@eighteen-naked-cowboys]

mikael's faces when joakim is recording that keyboard slide are brilliant

[@venkatramviswanathan5350]

Mike's expression change at 6:04 hahahahaha!

[@Cheximus]

Fred really the only one keeping Opeth interesting since PC. Such a shame that such an iconic band has gone this route, but I respect Mikael's choice and desire. Will always have the first 10 albums.

[@fabiansanchez7203]

PC? Still new to opeth lol

[@BoyAditya]

i love studio session

[@dereksmallsuk]

great new album guys!!!!

[@gandalf8216]

Those last devil horns by Fredrik is boldest thing I've ever seen him do in front of a camera. Jk of course, I looove the air you seem to have in the studio.

[@SP-vl1jh]

"Perfect. Move on. I did a great job. Not sure about you" lol

[@kellenmills6622]

Very beautiful

[@mindofmatter071]

Fredrik my brother!!! Fucking kickass.... Especially live on front row!! Most Uderated

[@jackw3295]

This is moogerfookin awesome

[@Mr8899ACDC]

Akesson signing Ghost Reveries CD's? That's weird.

[@joelco92]

Opeth: Behind the Making of the Keyboards on Sorceress

[@TheOscoste]

Those black sabbathy keyboards.... Great

[@petercarlson811]

0:35 Holy shit! The hippie is strong in those two.

[@akshitjha6251]

0:37 Fuck yeah. Those pants are great!

[@jerryboone1093]

How about just show us the entirety of the studio sessions. I would watch every fucking minute of it.

[@5urg3x]

Was there a studio session documentary for Pale Communion?

[@gktde9874]

Love the Moog Voyager!

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

I'm really glad to hear this. I'm happy with their way. I'm blown away, Fredrik did a great job at 0:50 - 2:55. Just perfect.

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

Look at Mikael, he lost his mind :D

[@coonerkathmandu3570]

6:02 Liked subscribed shared

[@guydelusignan4272]

Mikael is the puppet master he says jump they ask how high

[@RobinSar]

Love this stuff

[@stevenpriest1378]

yes

[@flippyflopper2360]

"Yeah... Yeah, leave it."

[@BehzadShabani]

This is great to hear the instruments individually, but in the album all I hear is bass sound overshadowing other instruments.

[@gringo7864]

best making of ever

[@suist4r]

Why is this song only a B-side?

[@kalas-kurt]

Yes

[@johnsmith-pw7oj]

Mikael looks like he Is evolving into a Frank zappamon, he'll probably soon go 'eveything Is a fad' lol

[@rubenr5544]

11:22 should be fine right?

[@JuanMiguelAltube]

Where's the uruguayo carajo????

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

Where's Mendez ?

[@matiosmi137]

Shit, I'd never know how much delay there is on the album if not for 9:03

[@dogfaceboye2906]

Metal... Its a pinch harmonic. PROG... its an overtone.

[@hrvojeborzic9637]

6/7 min was great. after spiralingdownwards

[@bendegor9842]

AWESOME !!!

[@GupthaKreations]

[@nicholasfultz3122]

[@stratoseleftheriadis3696]

Great as usual !

[@lucianovitorio836]

[@topografer]

In the first solo can anyone tell me what effect is used? Is it a phaser of some kind? Not sure

[@Flux799]

bellbottoms forever

[@eighteen-naked-cowboys]

Should be fine, right?

[@reducetheatoms]

I'm a simp for Opeth

[@guillermoriosmedina8494]

What's this song that is soloing Akersson?

[@Thothings]

Can anyone tell me what effect is on Mikael's guitar in that solo? Is it like a Phaser/Flanger?

[@colinclark1981]

I wanna know aswell. That tone is just amazing.

[@caandca]

[@WickerManLP]
